The Phoenix Suns enter 2025-26 with similar questions they've had in seasons past, such as: Do we have a point guard? Is the point guard Devin Booker? What does the minutes distribution look like? How much burn do the young guys get? Will this new coach be the right one? Is sentience an inescapable curse?
I don't have an answer for all of those — except the last one; yes — and I don't know if new head coach Jordan Ott has an answer for them yet, either. But I think (and hope) for the Suns' sake that early on in the year, a backcourt order is established with Devin Booker as the clear point guard and primary ball-handler, and Jalen Green providing scoring pop but not as much creation or facilitation as he's been tasked with thus far in his career.
