Mike Budenholzer says the Phoenix Suns need to learn how to play with and without one.
PHOENIX -- There's plenty of issues new Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer needs to tackle, though point guard discussion has been fairly prominent in the Valley since the season ended.
“The conversations have been great and there’s no doubt we have to look at the whole roster and talk about point guard,” Budenholzer“I’m sure it’s a hot button here, whether it’s with you guys, the media, the players, front office. We need to think about it. We need to be able to play without one. We probably need to have one.
“We need to be versatile. We need to play different ways: bigger, smaller. I think the point guard position has a place.” The Suns traded Chris Paul last offseason and relied on a backcourt of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.“I think the team could benefit from having a point guard,” Suns GM James Jones said earlier in the offseason.
“I believe the team could benefit from having backup forwards, backup centers. I still always go back to your best players on the floor. That’s a narrative we’ll hear a lot, point guard, point guard. Sure, that’s great.
