Deandre Ayton should take a step forward without Kelly Oubre for the Phoenix Suns
While only a small sample size, Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton has had three of his best games when Kelly Oubre hasn’t played.
It is terribly unfortunate for a Phoenix Suns team hoping to break at least the 30 win mark, that they lose their third-highest scorer in Kelly Oubre to a torn Meniscus. If he misses the rest of the season as seems very likely (23 games), the team is going to need to replace Oubre’s energy and scoring from somewhere else on the roster.
In the next man up philosophy, one might believe that either Mikal Bridges or Cameron Johnson should be the player to take the biggest step forward in the offense.
