Are The Phoenix Suns At Fault For Mark Williams Struggles?

Suns' Mark Williams, Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach

The Phoenix Suns are struggling as of late, and while there are a number of factors contributing to the struggles, the issues with the team’s center rotation are impossible to ignore.

Are the suns at fault for mark williams’ struggles?

Mark Williams has had trouble getting involved offensively and his defensive impact has not been felt, Oso Ighodaro has had the typical peaks and valleys of a young player, and Khaman Maluach has yet to fully crack the rotation to play meaningful minutes.

While Phoenix’s shortcomings on the perimeter can be attributed to the lack of depth due to injuries, there is much more to dive into with respect to why the healthy rotation of centers has not been impactful. Is it a product of the lack of guard play? Will this ultimately spell Phoenix’s downfall?
