The Phoenix Suns traded Kevin Durant and dumped Bradley Beal to create a disastrous lineup that will crush their season. They have been pushing a defensive identity in the wake of their roster changes, but the franchise was 27th in defensive rating in 2025 and added two subpar options to play key roles next season.
The Suns will start Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and Mark Williams. The final spot could change based on matchups, but Ryan Dunn started 44 times as a rookie and feels like the favorite for that gig. That group features one non-shooter and two below-average options.
