The Phoenix Suns’ busy offseason included a major trade that saw them acquire Miles Bridges from the Charlotte Hornets in a three-player deal.
Is Suns’ Starting Lineup A Strength Or Weakness In 2026-27?
In acquiring Bridges, it is believed the Suns’ starting lineup will feature him alongside Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams, who re-signed with the franchise this offseason.
Although the starting lineup seems easy to predict, is it a strength or weakness for the team in 2026-27? Much has been made of “Point Book” and his backcourt chemistry with Jalen Green, but there are also questions of Khaman Maluach’s readiness to assume a bigger role, and Williams’ ability to play a consistent role given his well-documented durability issues.
Phoenix boasts considerable depth, but how much does that help in the grand scheme when rotations get tighter?
