Bright Side Wonders, Week 3: Did the Suns already find their Grayson Allen replacement?
The only time of the year when wins hold as much weight as a loss, the Phoenix Suns are taking advantage of the low-stakes games, getting their entire roster for regular-season play, with 14 players registering playing time in Saturday’s 102-98 win against the Spurs.

But when you look at the production he provided over three seasons with the Phoenix Suns, it might be one of the more underrated stories surrounding the organization during that stretch. Allen appeared in 190 games for Phoenix, […]

The Suns gave us a glimpse of what preseason progress looks like
I don’t know how you define progression or what you ultimately expect from the preseason. Progression is subjective, with too many intricacies and variables to truly define it. But whatever we witnessed on Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs in downtown Phoenix was what I would consider progress. We witnessed improved ball security. Granted, […]

The Phoenix Suns aren’t short on intriguing storylines heading into the upcoming season.

Now he’s one of the first guys every Suns fan points to when somebody asks what changed in this building. Dillon Brooks gets the lion’s share of credit, and deservedly so. But Jordan Goodwin’s impact should not be […]
