With Kevin Durant officially traded, the Suns begin their next chapter by welcoming defensive enforcer Dillon Brooks, a player with a controversial past, a productive present, and a potential future as Phoenix’s emotional anchor.
For the second time in recent years, the Phoenix Suns are importing a player with a reputation—one shaped not just by highlight reels or box scores, but by the very way he carries himself on a basketball court. And while Grayson Allen has quickly endeared himself to the Suns faithful with his elite shooting and a maturity-in-growth mindset, Dillon Brooks arrives with a similar reputation and a shot at similar redemption.
