It's all about the margin for error and how much you nurture it when you're undermanned and at a talent disparity the way these Phoenix Suns are.

Devin Booker is at his worst when he's normally at his best
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has not quite looked like himself five games into the season, as he is getting off to uncharacteristically slow starts.

Sloppy Suns play led by Booker persists in loss to Grizzlies
The Phoenix Suns aren't going to be able to establish anything in a new era if they continue playing a sloppy brand of basketball and continue to get unrecognizable performances from their star.

Positionless basketball has taken its latest turn with two-big lineups. Whether it's small-ball or big-ball (?), the Suns are open to whatever would help them win with a roster that does have options both ways (as Jordan Ott said himself): arizonasports.com/nba/phoenix-...
Suns open to NBA's ever-shifting style, 'positionless' era
It is easy to simplify how different the NBA is from a style of play perspective 10 years ago compared to now and the Phoenix Suns are open to taking advantage of that.

We saw KD/Wemby match up quite a bit in the two matchups here last year. Curious how much we see it in this one. Ighodaro changes that dynamic a bit on both ends.
