I think it’s a lack of toughness that they’re going to struggle with. The only year they almost won a chip they had DeAndre Ayton playing with confidence and owning the lane. Ever since trading him they have looked like less of a team. I don’t think they won a championship with this roster unless they sign some free agent big man like Cousins or some other tough guy.
"Toughness". You are right. Josh Okogie and Grayson Allen will have a lot of work in defense for this season.
The West is really tough division right now, with teams really improving, unlike before where Phoenix could be the number 1, although they fall in the playoffs or in the finals. I do agree that it will still depend on their point guard Tyus Jones. So let's see if he can make this 3 good with his ability to execute plays and run this background to the Tee.
The good part about Tyus Jones is he is not an injury-prone player. He played 80 games in the Grizzlies uniform in 2022-23 and 66 games in the Wizards uniform last year. He will always be there and I think it will be good for the star trio since they can build chemistry faster.
Also, their new head coach is Coach Mike Budenholzer, yes Bucks's former coach who is known for offensive attacks using Giannis over and over again to make offensive attacks. I think it will be the same for the Suns and most firepower will come from the trio. If you are a fan of offense, this is where you will go and watch, Phoenix.
