Miles Bridges must improve quickly to justify the Suns’ trade

Miles Bridges has underperformed in his short time as Sun. How short is his leash before we declare it a disaster?

The Suns’ new-look lineup is making life harder for Booker

Booker’s three-point performance deserves criticism, but Phoenix’s roster construction is making his job even harder.

The Suns’ small-ball problem starts with a problem they can’t control

Phoenix is missing its two primary centers, making small ball a necessity rather than a preferred strategy.

Oso Ighodaro’s absence exposes Suns’ offensive and defensive issues

The Suns are struggling to connect on both ends, and their injured center provides many of the things they’re missing.

The Suns’ defense is disconnected. Somebody find the light switch!

Three games are a small sample, but the Suns’ defensive problems are beginning to resemble last season’s late collapse.

Quietly one of the most horrific trades you'll see... 2033 UNPROTECTED for Miles Bridges and a fake first Not to mention Grayson Allen currently averaging 17 PPG on 74.6 TS%. Just a really tough pill to swallow for a team that was already light on future assets. Sloppy FO work.

Phoenix is currently allowing opponents to grab 43.3% (!) of their own misses. Impossible to produce good defense when you have to defend 1.5x more possessions than you should have to.
