This piece is for the 6th week.

The Suns did not win this week, finishing 0-3. Phoenix lost to the Bucks and Pelicans in AZ and the Wolves in Minnesota. There were definitely some growing pains among the young Suns but there are always flashes of good even if you have to look for them.

Back of the Bench/Injured Players

No recent updates on Davon Reed or Alan Williams have come in. Hopefully they are making solid progress in recovery from their injuries.

Derrick Jones Jr played in two games for the NAZ Suns scoring 12.5 points on 47% shooting with 6.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. He was called up to the Phoenix Suns but only played a total of 6 minutes.

Alec Peters only played in one match for the Prescott Valley team and was ice cold making 3 of his 16 shots (18%) and only 1 of his 8 treys attempts. He did have 11 rebounds and 1 block though.

Let’s look at what each main rotation 1st and 2nd year player.
