Phoenix Suns Head Coach Monty Williams teased a surprise while on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM’s Doug and Wolf show on Friday morning and his lineup against the New York Knicks definitely lived up to the hype.
Deandre Ayton rejoined the Suns starting lineup, but at a new position. The Big Fella threw back to his college days as he started the game as the team’s power forward alongside Aron Baynes in the frontcourt.
“I love it,” Kelly Oubre Jr. said about the lineup change. “A lot of size. A lot of length, athleticism. We’ve got athletes. We’ve got strong, physical specimens like Aron Baynes.
