4. Where is Brandan Wright? Do you think he should have more of a role in the rotation, especially in a game such as on Monday when Len and Keef both were ejected early?

Bourguet: That’s an interesting question, but suffice it to say he hasn’t panned out quite like we all thought he would. There’s an argument to be made about his lack of minutes, but in Monday’s game, keeping him out made sense since the Heat didn’t have Hassan Whiteside. This team still likes to play small even without the three-PG gimmick. However, Wright really hasn’t found his groove here in Phoenix and playing small wasn’t what lost the Suns the game.

Chasen: If I’m the Suns, I’m holding Brandan Wright out except when the young players are in the game. Wright is a fantastic communicator of defense, and does a lot of the little things that one might not necessarily pick up on, so he could be a guy that is used to develop the younger talent, while making his own impact on the court.

Hann: Wright played 3 minutes. 3 minutes, are you kidding?! If the Suns are playing for the playoffs, Wright HAS to be in the game more than that! With his decreasing playing time and the Suns inability to get him going in their system, the plan must be to let Wright go in free agency. If Phoenix is transitioning to a youth movement for the rest of the season, Wright could very well be looking at abysmal playing time on a nightly basis.

Saar: He’s somewhat limited offensively and still getting oriented with the team and how they work, but he should be playing more. Due to both of their propensity to foul, he and Len should be splitting the center minutes down the middle.

Harris: I think Brandan Wright should be one of the first options off the bench. He is very fun to watch whenever he plays and he always seems to make an exciting play at some point in the game.
