The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Luke Duffy argues that Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott has seemingly lost confidence in point guard Jamaree Bouyea during a team slump. Despite playing 46 games last season and seeing solid preseason action, Bouyea has been limited to just five minutes per contest across two appearances in the early regular season.

According to Duffy, the Suns' league-worst defensive rating prevents Ott from utilizing Bouyea's niche perimeter defense alongside Jordan Goodwin. The writer suggests Bouyea could regain a role if Jalen Green is moved to the bench, but otherwise faces continued DNPs.
