The Suns boast an incredible group of veterans who have enough experience in the league. One of those players is Eric Gordon. Even at 34, he’s been a significant help off the bench for the team.

In three games this season, Gordon has averaged 15.3 points, which puts him in third place in scoring for the team. Of course, that will change once Beal recovers from his injuries. But the veteran guard has performed excellently for Phoenix early this season.

“We’re figuring that out.”

It’s exciting that he chose to join the Suns over teams like the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets during the offseason.

His experience in the past will be helpful once the postseason starts. Although there will be moments where he could have inconsistencies, having the Bahamian guard will still make a grave impact this season.
