Are The Phoenix Suns AT FAULT For Mark Williams STRUGGLES?
The Phoenix Suns are struggling as of late, and while there are a number of factors contributing to the struggles, the issues with the team’s center rotation are impossible to ignore. Mark Williams has had trouble getting involved offensively and his defensive impact has not been felt, Oso Ighodaro has had the typical peaks and valleys of a young player, and Khaman Maluach has yet to fully crack the rotation to play meaningful minutes.
While Phoenix’s shortcomings on the perimeter can be attributed to the lack of depth due to injuries, there is much more to dive into with respect to why the healthy rotation of centers has not been impactful. Is it a product of the lack of guard play? Will this ultimately spell Phoenix’s downfall?
PHNX Suns talks through the frontcourt issues as the team looks to get back on track for the season’s stretch run. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo and @StephenPG3!

Of course it’s their fault, they’re too busy shooting 3s instead of playing inside out and using Mark.
I will wait to see the finished product two years from now. Winning as many games as we have has been a nice surprise.
They were never expected to be anything but a bottom level team in the west.
We are missing our best offensive players and our best defensive player and a key playmaker/ floor spacer in grayson allen.
Teams are taking advantage of the suns injuries and inexperience.
It's a bitter pill and sucks but we just have to persevere and think long-term.
This is greens first season as a sun and hes trying to fill in for booker when he should be slashing to the basket. Not taking a ton of perimeter shots.
Our young guys will be forced to learn by default.
When they finally develop in about two seasons this will be a tough, athletic defensive minded team.
Keep building and adding a piece here and a piece there.
We were never going to challenge for a title and beat the thunder or nuggets in a seven game series.
Our focus should be to continue to establish a defensive culture with toughness , more depth, rebounding and playmaking.
Have to be patient and wait for the finished product.
Ever since Mark got popped by Alvarado he hasn’t been the same
