Top 5 Key Phoenix Suns Players Besides Devin Booker

Devin Booker is the standout player for the Phoenix Suns, but the team is not solely reliant on him.

Despite being ranked 13th in the Western Conference by NBA.com, the Suns have other talented players besides Booker.

Among the five key players for Phoenix, Devin Booker is not included.

One notable player is Dunn, who was considered the best defensive prospect from Virginia in the 2024 draft.

Dunn has shown promise by starting in games and averaging 9.4 points last season, and he continues to improve his 3-point shooting.

At 6-8, Dunn has the potential to enhance his scoring abilities, rebounding, and playmaking skills.

The Suns value Dunn's defensive prowess, and he has the potential to become a valuable asset for the team.

Jalen Green, acquired by the Suns in a trade with the Houston Rockets, is recognized for his scoring abilities.

Green, the second overall pick in the 2021 draft, has displayed offensive skills, including a career-best 35.4% shooting from 3-point range last season.

While Green excels offensively, he needs to improve his defense to contribute effectively to the team.

Dillon Brooks, known for his intensity and defensive capabilities, is another key player for the Suns.

Brooks has a strong defensive presence and has shown proficiency in shooting 3-pointers, making him a versatile player for the team.

Mark Williams, a center for the Suns, is expected to start the season as a key player.

Williams, known for his scoring and rebounding abilities, has the potential to make a significant impact if he remains healthy.

Khaman Maluach, a young center, is seen as a promising player for the Suns' future.

Maluach is expected to develop gradually under the mentorship of experienced players like Williams.

The Suns are likely to make trades before the deadline to strengthen their roster and enhance their team identity.

If trades are made, the team aims to acquire players who align with their tough and physical style of play.
