The Phoenix Suns fell drastically short of expectations this season. They were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round of the playoffs. Part of Phoenix’s problem is that its roster is incredibly imbalanced. Despite having three All-Star level scorers, the team doesn’t have a point guard and has no legitimate depth on the bench.
During his inaugural news conference, Phoenix’s new head coach, Mike Budenholzer, admitted that the team’s lack of a point guard could be a concern. He noted how the team may need to address the position during the summer.
“There’s no doubt we need to look at the whole roster and talk about point guard. I’m sure it’s a hot button here… we need to think about it,” Budenholzer said. “We need to be able to play without one. We probably need to be able to have one. We need to be versatile… I think the point guard position has a place. We’re gonna talk about it.”
