TOP TALENT: Devin Booker And Dillon Brooks Will Dictate The Phoenix Suns Season This Year

Phoenix Suns’ Top 6 ranking sparks fierce debate—can Devin Booker reclaim elite status as new faces reshape the roster? As the Locked On NBA Top 100 looms, the conversation intensifies around Booker’s ranking, the rising potential of Jalen Green and Collin Gillespie, and the impact of recent moves like bringing in Miles Bridges.

Key topics include Suns’ position in the Western Conference hierarchy, playoff matchups against contenders like the Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Houston Rockets, plus urgent questions about health, efficiency, and three-point shooting from players like Mark Williams and Dillon Brooks. With young prospects like Koa Peat and Khaman Maluach under pressure to emerge, the Suns’ season hangs in the balance. Will a return to full strength and strategic improvement propel Phoenix from the middle of the pack to true title contention?

  1. VanVleet can't keep players in front of him or get past anyone….Then he tore his Achilles. Spurs went to the same play 14 times in a row vs the Rockets last year, Wemby/Fox isolating Sengun/Reed on the side of the court. No way Sengun/Reed stop Maluach or Bridges/Jalen Green on the side PnR. Because of double Bigs
    in 24/25: JG4 struggled to get to rim:
    42.3 (FG%), 48.2 (2P%), 35.4 (3P%)
    but VanVleet was:
    37.8 (FG%), 43.0 (2P%), 34.5 (3P%)

    JG4 is a better, consistent 3-ball than Marcus Smart. No more Okogie/D Finney-Smith.
    Durant and Sengun fight each other for mid-range space, Amen and Tari just crash
    the boards because they don't trust their shot.
