Listen "Are These Suns Players A TRICK Or TREAT AND Should Devin Booker Get More Of A Break For Slow Start?"
Episode Synopsis
Benjamin Garcia and Brandon Duanes break down Booker's early struggles, the surprising impact of missing Jalen Green, and head coach Jordan Knott's puzzling rotation decisions. They question why rookies aren't getting minutes while veterans like Nigel Hayes Davis and Oso Ighodaro struggle to contribute. The hosts also evaluate Mark Williams' defensive transformation from Charlotte liability to Phoenix anchor, and debate whether the front office deserves credit or blame for the current roster construction. A Halloween-themed "trick or treat" segment rates key players and front office personnel Matt Ishbia and Brian Gregory based on their early season performance. Tune in for honest analysis of what's working, what's broken, and whether the Suns can turn around their disappointing start before it's too late. 0:00 Intro1:40 Halloween costumes and brother's feedback2:56 Is Ben too hard on Devin Booker?5:35 Booker's shooting struggles in key games8:31 Missing Jalen Green more than expected11:57 Jordan Knott's questionable rotation decisions15:48 The Nigel Hayes Davis problem19:12 Identity crisis with the current roster23:00 Mark Williams: Trick or treat?27:18 Colin Gillespie exceeding expectations28:40 Jordan Knott's coaching: Treat or trick?31:07 Matt Ishbia's ownership: Learning from mistakes33:27 Sarver era vs Ishbia's willingness to spend 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on TikTokLocked On Suns https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonphxsuns?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on InstagramLocked On Suns https://www.instagram.com/lockedonphxsuns/ 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on XLocked On Suns https://x.com/LockedOnPHXSunsBen Garcia https://x.com/BenGarciaShow Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOSuns?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
