I don’t want to focus much on the first 40 minutes of the Phoenix Suns’ huge comeback win over the Sacramento Kings, especially since so much felt off.
Much of the deficit can be chalked up to contributions from players like De’Aaron Fox — who the Suns had a chance to take in the 2017 NBA Draft, choosing Josh Jackson instead — having shots blazing. He’s really become a high-level of shooter that not many could’ve predicted when he came out of Kentucky.
Some of his friends, such as Sasha Vezenkov, Malik Monk, and Kevin Huerter chipped in to dig the Suns a hole, but Phoenix also had some screws loose offensively, and the officials weren’t helping.
