The reason why suns are struggling

Because no point guard

Too many turnovers - We are 24th in number of turnovers per game. Out of bounds, traveling, offensive fouls, and etc are okay. But I’ve seen too many pass misses which lead to easy fastbreak points. It is because we do not have a ‘reliable ball distributer’.

Scoring drought in 4th quarter - We are 29th in 4th quarter points per game (only 0.2 points more than Portland), The defense becomes tougher in 4th quarter, but we do not have a ‘facilitator’ who can properly execute designed game plan. This problem may become more serious at Play-off games.

Cannot maintain the lead - We’ve seen many games where we lost big leads in a short time. It is because we do not have a ‘floor general’ who can control the tempo.

Disappointing bench production - We are 6th in starters points per game but 18th in bench points per game. As we may all agree, we have good bench players. But they are still minimum players and we need a PG who can initiate proper pattern play during bench time.

Difficult to pass to Durant - One of KD’s main offensive options is post-up. But we do not have an ‘entry passer’ who can deliver the ball to KD.

Suns fan should know how important the point guard position is.

Ricky Rubio turned .232 team into .466 team and Chris Paul .466 team into .708 team. No need to mention Steve Nash who turned .354 team into .756 team.

I love point Book and I do not think we need so-called ‘starting caliber’ PG. But I believe we need to have at least one ‘real’ PG who can lead the bench time and, most of all, the clutch time.

I propose to trade Grayson Allen (8.9M) for T.J. McConnell (8.7M).

We may start the game with Beal - Booker - Small Forward - Durant - Nurkic

At the clutch time, Suns may end the game with small line-up of McConnell - Beal - Booker - Durant - Center.
