Suns take Summer League opener despite unexpected roster decisions

The team’s anonymous roster executed well on offense and mounted a comeback late in the game that put them over the top of a Knicks roster stacked with NBA talent. The new-look coaching staff has to garner much of the credit here, as do the international players and late-bloomers across this Suns roster, who performed nicely without the team’s high draft picks on the court.
