When the Phoenix Suns begin play in Orlando on July 31, they will likely shift their emphasis a bit to secure more possessions per game via offensive and defensive rebounds at the expense of some transition opportunities.
Nothing dramatic, of course, but the Suns realize that they gave up on possessions too quickly this year. The emphasis all year on both ends was to get the upper hand in transition while sending minimal guys to the boards.
“Defensive transition was one of our stronger suits,” General Manager James Jones said in a Zoom call with local media on Monday.
