The makeup of the Phoenix Suns’ roster is made up of young, generally inexperienced players, with a Christmas cookie-like sprinkling of veterans to help add a little color to a generally palatable although prosaic cookie.
Teams with young rosters like the Suns can often run into two very distinctive problems: over-energy when players do not know how to save their steps and thus play out of control; and the result of that first problem: selfish play based off of such poor overall team play.
Why should I trust my teammate to do the right thing when we’re constantly down 20 when I can get my own?
