Benjamin Garcia and John Voita break down how Green's return impacts Booker's stellar play, why the Suns need to rethink Oso Ighodaro's minutes despite his draft pedigree, and whether rookies Kaman Malawatch and Rasheer Fleming deserve a shot in the rotation. The hosts also discuss Booker's response to recent body language criticism and why he's having the best statistical start to a season in Phoenix Suns history.

 

Tune in for an honest assessment of the Suns' early season struggles and what adjustments could turn their season around.
