If Miles Bridges isn't available for the Suns on opening night as a result of injury, Jordan Goodwin is the player who should take his place.
Writer Luke Duffy argues that Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin should start on opening night against the Portland Trail Blazers if Miles Bridges is sidelined with an ankle injury. Bridges tweaked his ankle in a preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls, and head coach Jordan Ott is taking a cautious approach with his recovery.
Duffy contends that Goodwin offers strong defense, playmaking, and perimeter shooting without disrupting team chemistry. The writer suggests Goodwin would slot in at small forward alongside Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and Khaman Maluach, serving as a superior defensive alternative to options like Luke Kennard and Collin Gillespie.
