The good, the bad, and the ugly of the Suns’ preseason so far

John Voita of Bright Side of the Sun evaluates the Phoenix Suns across their first two preseason games, breaking down positive takeaways alongside emerging flaws. On the positive side, Voita highlights the strong energy from the second unit and encouraging play from Collin Gillespie and newcomer Miles Bridges, despite Bridges tweaking his ankle against the Chicago Bulls.

However, Voita points to significant perimeter shooting concerns after losing Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale, noting core starters shot just 26.5% from deep. Additionally, the Suns averaged an NBA-worst 29 turnovers per game across exhibition matchups with the Detroit Pistons and Bulls, which Voita argues could undermine the team's planned identity.
