What the plan is at point guard?
Unless they acquire a star, whether the Phoenix Suns eventually trade for a starting point guard or not (they might look to add an additional veteran to play behind presumed opening night starter Isaiah Canaan as well), the position is without a doubt the weakest on the roster, as it has been for the last full year.
Can the Suns win without a dedicated point guard who can run the offense? Does Kokoskov’s offense even need a traditional point guard? When Devin Booker comes back, can he be the “point guard” and run an offense similar to the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors’? If they ever have to play without Booker for any extended period of time, are Canaan and Shaquille Harrison good enough to keep the team competitive?
Sharing what their plan is heading into Training Camp and thus the season is something that the Suns do not need to hide. Teams aren’t going to suddenly scheme any differently against Phoenix with such an announcement of their plans, and in fact public knowledge might actually behoove the players if there was a public statement made giving them confidence in the overall plan.
It is most fan’s hope that General Manager Ryan McDonough has a trick up his sleeve and is at some point able to find a way to snag a star. Most fan’s hopes rest on current Portland star, Damian Lillard.
But if such a trade never materializes, an announcement of intentions moving forward needs to be made.
