A monumental season lies before the Phoenix Suns. This isn’t a put-up-and-shut-up type of season. This is a show-up or blow-it-up season.
When Bradley Beal arrived in Phoenix, despite what some felt, this always was a two-year experiment. Year One was James Jones and his staff understanding what archetypes to put around the Three to allow them to be successful. They tried high-upside players who were younger. That didn’t work. The bench was reset halfway through the season last year.
Jones has pivoted to experienced veterans who may not possess a high ceiling but have a much more sustainable and predictable floor.
