Phoenix Suns Key to No-Loss November: Rotation Players stepping up
Every great team requires role players to step up when their stars struggle or fall victim to the injury bug. We saw this happen to Phoenix recently when Booker went down, but that was far from the first time such circumstances fell upon the Suns during this stretch.
With Ayton injured for two separate stints, JaVale McGee and Frank Kaminsky gave the Suns productive minutes and still viable pick and roll partners for Paul. During Phoenix’s win against the Sacramento Kings, Cameron Payne’s regular season career-high 24 points essentially decided the contest’s final outcome.
Phoenix’s proven ability to fill voids is just another testament to their overall depth, with a real exclamation point coming by way of the team’s 13.23 net rating without Paul and Booker this season.
