The suns need size, length, athleticism and physicality options.
1- Kai Jones for a 6'11 long high motor shotblocking uber athletic 4/5.
2- Feron Hunt for an long uner athletic 6'7 defensive wing.
3- Nerlens Noel or Pter cornelie for a rebounding big backup 5. ** Cornelie is a very long, mobile 6'11 strong rebounding big with solid 3 pt shooting and fluidity.

We need a natural playmaker; we're losing the potential of Booker, Beal, and Durant. They need the ball in their hands to shoot or, alternatively, draw defense and open up opportunities for teammates. We should bring in a substitute for CP3, like Tyus Jones or Dennis Schroder, and look for a trade for Goga Bitadze from the Magic or acquire a defensive center, effectively setting screens
Their combo of low rebounding and high TOs are brutal, they routinely have 10+ fewer shots and their offense isn’t good enough to consistently overcome that
Trying to fix the defense is pointless until they can become at least a top 5 offense, top 3 if they want to make a real run. There is offense is nowhere near good enough so far. Then you can worry about the defense.
