The No. 4-seed Suns start their conference semifinals series Saturday at No. 1 seed Denver.
A finalist for a third straight MVP, Jokic is averaging 26.2 points, 12.4 rebounds and nine assists in the postseason.Murray is two years removed from missing the entire 2021-22 season with a knee injury. He’s averaging a playoff career-high 27.2 points, hitting 42.9% of his 3s.Then there’s Michael Porter Jr.’s ability to stretch the floor with his 3-point shooting, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s championship experience and Bruce Brown’s energy off the bench.
On top of that, Aaron Gordon brings athleticism and physicality at the four. Gordon was in All-Star consideration this season as he averaged 16.4 points on a career-best 56.4% shooting from the field in the regular season. “He’s one of those guys, when you look at how they play, you look at his career at Orlando, he’s made so many adjustments and game to fit what they do here,” Suns coach Monty Williams said about the former Arizona star.
“I think that’s one of the many reasons why they’ve been so good. His ability to be physical in the paint, his screening on the ball, off the ball and he’s a good complement to Jokic when there is a postup situation. He knows when to cut, when to seal.”
