Khaman Maluach was the name everyone kept mentioning at Media Day
It was a rare rainy day in Phoenix. As the sprinkles began to fall outside Mortgage Matchup Center, where the massive LED screen proudly displayed Suns Media Day, I entered the arena with one primary question in mind: Who made the biggest impression on this team during the offseason?

Make no mistake about it, of the countless storylines entering the 2026–27 Phoenix Suns season, one I’m particularly interested in is seeing what second-year prospect Rasheer Fleming looks like on the court, how he’s integrated into the rotation, and what his role ultimately becomes. He didn’t make my top five storylines of the season, which […]
3 standout quotes from Suns Media Day
Media Day can be filled with sound bites that lack introspection, observations that aren’t particularly earth-shattering, and run-of-the-mill responses that ultimately provide little insight. But every year, there are a few hidden gems along the way that make you stop, think, and react. Maybe they’re funny. Maybe they’re unbelievably introspective. Either way, they’re part of […]
Devin Booker with high praise for Khaman Maluach
There is no one more important to the future of the Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker’s legacy than second-year center Khaman Maluach. Selected 10th overall in the 2025 Draft and with rare physical attributes, the Duke alum had a dominant Las Vegas Summer League showing, averaging 20 points and 13 rebounds, earning him an All-Summer […]

Jalen Green sought the advice of a Suns’ legend to improve his game
Just for a moment, imagine you’re playing NBA 2K and are able to give prime Steve Nash the athletic attributes of Jalen Green. It’s a great dream sequence, one that only Robert Horry would find a way to ruin. What about the inverse? That’s not going to happen. But what about “just a little”? Today […]
Devin Booker is excited for year 12 and the Phoenix Suns’ continuity
Devin Booker kicked off his 12th season for the Phoenix Suns with a new number, but just as cool and as confident as ever. As Booker approaches his 30th birthday in October, he has accomplished a lot in his career, but there is still a lot left in the tank. “I love the game more […]

What do you want answered at Phoenix Suns Media Day?
I was a bit of a nomad as a child. My dad had an affinity for keeping the family on the move. Part of that came with being renters, and my dad was rather vocal with landlords, which ultimately led to us having to pack up and move time and time again. From Phoenix to […]

The biggest questions facing the Suns over their first 10 games
I felt it for the first time when I went outside last night to play with the dog. For the first time in months, I could walk outside without getting blasted in the face by the oven-like air that the Phoenix metropolitan area has to offer. Yes, for the first time, it felt like fall. […]
