Frank Vogel explains decision not to play Thaddeus Young over Drew Eubanks

It is no secret the Phoenix Suns have struggled to find consistency with the backup center spot behind Jusuf Nurkiu0107 this season.

Drew Eubanks was brought in to fill this spot, and he has maintained that position throughout the season. The Suns liked Eubanks so much they were punished for tampering to get him to sign this offseason.

There have been a few games where two-way center Udoka Azubuike saw these minutes instead of Eubanks. There have also been times where the Suns have elected to go small at the 5. Phoenix also has 7-foot-3 Bol Bol, who has become a consistent rotation player, but like Bol at the four spot rather than the five.
