Listen "What's The Bigger NEED For The Suns, Point Guard Or Power Forward? And Can Josh Giddey Fix Both?"

Is the Phoenix Suns' biggest need really at point guard? Benjamin Garcia challenges this common belief, arguing that power forward is the more pressing concern for the team.
Garcia explores the concept of "Steve Nash Syndrome" and how it affects fans' perceptions of roster needs.

The host also analyzes a missed trade opportunity with the New Orleans Pelicans and defends the Suns' decision to keep their draft pick.
Tune in for a fresh perspective on the Suns' roster construction and insights into how modern NBA offenses are evolving beyond traditional positions.
