Report: Suns players are already frustrated over 1 issue
Chris Haynes said the Suns’ bottom-half assists ranking reflects a committee backcourt that has not organized the offense.
- On Thursday, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported "some growing frustration within that locker room" over the Phoenix Suns' lack of a traditional point guard, following the team's 1-2 start to the 2026-27 season.
- The current backcourt features Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Dillon Brooks, none traditional floor generals; the Suns sacrificed guard depth including Grayson Allen to acquire forward Miles Bridges this offseason.
- Phoenix suffered a 124-83 season-opening loss to the Portland Trail Blazers and fell 125-114 to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, while Booker produced inconsistently: 43 points against Golden State Warriors but just three points in the Thunder loss.
- Despite early-season struggles, the Suns are not currently looking to address the point guard void, Haynes noted, hoping instead to manage the role by committee while ranking in the "bottom half of the league" in assists.
- Suns owner Mat Ishbia has emphasized his hands-on involvement in basketball operations and establishing a defined team culture, maintaining the organization is aligned on its vision despite some observers criticizing his approach.
