Summary
Phoenix Suns' training camp invite for Duop Reath sparks debate—does this signing actually matter? Benjamin Garcia breaks down why the former Trail Blazers center may not make the roster, challenging the social media hype and analyzing Reath’s limitations as a rebounder and defender despite his shooting. With roster space tight, could Jamari Bouye be on the chopping block, or is this simply about stoking competition for the starting center spot? Garcia also sets fair expectations for head coach Jordan Ott’s crucial second season, questioning Ott’s adaptability after last year’s late-season slump and exploring how the addition of Miles Bridges and Jalen Green might reshape the Suns’ offense. Listener hot takes heat up the conversation: Is Khaman Malauch ready for All-NBA defense, and would Ben Simmons have been the right fit at point guard?
