Fans have clamored for 5-foot-8 Isaiah Thomas to man the Phoenix Suns’ point guard position.
While entertaining to think, Thomas is not seeing the floor, according to coach Frank Vogel. Vogel said when the Suns are at full strength at guard with Devin Booker, Bradley Beal — and heck, even Josh Okogie and David Roddy — Thomas is being used as bench support.
That’s exactly what the Suns need and I’m going to tell you why.
Communication
Too many times the Suns have had faulty communication. Phoenix is one of the top-5 halfcourt defenses since February, but the 5-foot-8 Thomas will not let guys off the hook.
