2024 Phoenix Suns Media Day came and went, and Suns training camp for the 2024-25 NBA season is officially here!

On the latest PHNX Suns Podcast, Gerald Bourguet, Erik Ruby and special guest Stephen Pridgeon-Garner dive into some remaining clips from Suns Media Day that are worth circling back to.

Those clips start with Tyus Jones’ comments on setting up the Big 3, how having a point guard will allow Bradley Beal and the rest of the Suns’ stars to be more comfortable on the court, and Jones’ thoughts from Day 1 of training camp on how he’ll be pushing the pace for this team as the starting point guard.

From there, Grayson Allen’s willingness to sacrifice a starting job for Tyus Jones — while even going as far as recruiting his former Duke teammate in the process — takes the spotlight. Allen obviously bulked up over the summer, but his ability to put the team first is an example of what could make this Suns squad special.

After that, the pod focuses on coach Mike Budenholzer’s system and how Phoenix wants to get up more 3-pointers this year. That includes Jusuf Nurkic, who spent the summer working on his 3-ball and will be empowered as a stretch-5 this season. The question is, can he hit 3s at a moderate rate, and will Mike Budenholzer’s approach be different from last year under Frank Vogel when Nurk started off last season letting it fly from downtown?

Finally, the show rounds out by hearing from Suns rookie Ryan Dunn at training camp, plus thoughts on Damion Lee’s incredible press conference at Media Day where he spoke on his awful injury, the difficult road back during his recovery process, and the mental hurdles he battled to get to this point.
