Jordan Goodwin leading the NBA in steals in preseason is going to elevate the Suns on the defensive end when the games begin for real.

Khaman Maluach spreading the court for Devin Booker with his own improving 3-point shot might be all the Suns' superstar needs to start making them again.

Oso Ighodaro might be winning the race to start for the Suns on opening night, but Jordan Ott has revealed that Khaman Maluach still has a chance.

Luke Kennard already knows he will be coming off the bench and taking more 3-pointers than ever before in trying to help the Phoenix Suns win games.
