## Resource

Phoenix Suns face leadership questions as Dillon Brooks eyes a bigger role alongside Devin Booker. Can Brooks evolve his passing game and become the teammate the Suns need, or will a score-first mentality stall their offense? Benjamin Garcia breaks down Brooks’ candid media comments, the Suns’ crowded starting lineup, and why head coach Brian Gregory wants Brooks to change his approach. The episode also explores whether the Suns’ recent roster construction creates more problems than it solves. Devin Booker’s place in NBA 2K and recent player rankings sparks a heated debate on superstar status—does Booker deserve more respect, or is he rightfully ranked outside the top tier? Garcia also tackles potential moves for the Suns, weighing the risks of adding Ben Simmons after Haywood Highsmith’s departure. Can Phoenix afford another non-shooter, or is Simmons’ passion—and defensive ability—in question? Find out what these moves mean for the Suns’ championship aspirations. 00:00 Discussing Dillon Brooks' media availability 04:49 Doubts about Dillon Brooks' playmaking 07:16 Discussing the Suns' lineup strategy 13:10 Discussing Devin Booker's NBA 2K Ranking 15:47 Discussing NBA 2K player rankings 19:16 Debating NBA superstar status 23:31 Ben Simmons' Career Challenges 25:23 Considering Ben Simmons for the lineup 28:44 Ben Simmons' free throw struggles
