Grayson Allen coming off the bench could help him and the Phoenix Suns
Would not be opposed to moving Grayson Allen to the bench so you can get him more shots uh because he has not been getting enough shot MCO the first one I want to look at is book Beal Grayson Allen KD and nerk uh this is a lineup that we’ve seen uh a good amount but we need to see more of these guys on the court together and I think that’s the Crux of this lineup is
Just building more uh more chemistry together as that starting unit yeah and this is one that like wasn’t part of the lineups that I want to see down the stretch but it is one that like you look at them they’re like the starting group they’ve been their preferred starting
Group all year and they’ve been statistically dominant when they’ve been together um they’ve got an offensive rating of 130 they’ve got a net rating of almost plus 15 which is the fourth best among any fiveman lineup in the NBA that’s played at least 200 minutes together and the fact that they’re the
Sun’s most used lineup despite only playing 266 minutes together is kind of crazy they haven’t had a lot of continuity so I would like to see this lineup a little bit more they have been really good but it’s one of those things where I also want to check out some
Different starting lineups because we know this group works well together we also know that they could be a little undersized against certain matchups so uh it’s one of those things where if you need this group you know that you have it in your back pocket but I kind of
Want to see what else they can put together yeah I like this group I like this group I just I just need to see more of it and so you know we got 24 games left I like to see them put together at least 20 more of consistent
Games with this lineup uh before the playoffs I think this will be the lineup you see uh day one playoffs whoever we’re playing I I do I believe in this lineup um but I’m with you I think that there’s some wrinkles that you can play with now that we didn’t have maybe a
Month ago um and I’m intrigued by that too and I’m sure we’ll get to some of those lineups but I I I I got full confidence in this lineup I don’t think we’re getting 20 more games out of this this you don’t think I don’t think we’re
Getting 20 more games out of this lineup at all I in total including playoffs or 24 left of the 24 left I think 20 is is really optimistic what number you take I probably say 15 15 I think 15 would be good for this group especially
Because a it tells me that Beal is healthy for the most part and B I kind of do want them to take five to 10 games where they look at a different starting lineup that we’ll talk about okay yeah I if this is the lineup that you’re going
To commit to as your starting lineup for the playoffs I want to see those final 10 with this with this team now maybe give or take a game at the end depending on if seatings locked up and you want to but I want to I want to feel and see
That consistency over that last handful of games but there is a world where I would not be opposed to moving Grayson Allen to the bench so you can get him more shots uh because he has not been getting enough shots in my estimation in particular from three
On the latest PHNX Suns Podcast, the crew takes a look at how dominant the Phoenix Suns’ starting lineup of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic have been, and whether they should stick with Grayson Allen in the starting lineup over Royce O’Neale.

No because the 3 guard lineup is a liability on defense.
Hell no you keep Allen your best shooter. I'll entertain KD, Bol, Allen, Nurk, and Book, then the small ball with Royce in place of Nurk.
I love Beal but the Big 3 this year has actually been KD, Booker, and Grayson Allen. He should be a starter.
Yes, depending on matchup in post season, but probably just keep running it in regular season.
