The usage of Kevin Durant has to be much better in flow, and nuanced in ways featured, than we’ve seen. This new rendition plus a training camp and full season provides a fresh opportunity at nailing the margins within this. Steps in doing so have taken place.
Lineup combinations and the use of small ball will be a way for the Suns to keep pressure on opponents, and it is intriguing to see that they have already began collecting data, even this early in the season.
Advantage creation out of the pick-and-roll, in all its nuances, continues to be a driving piece in the completion of Devin Booker’s overall skill. Where that goes may truly be as big of a piece determining the Suns ceiling in this renditon.
