On today's episode, as we return to podcasting action after a quick hiatus, Evan is joined by David Nash to go over all the latest Suns-related news and hot topics.

First up, Jerami Grant and Kelly Oubre Jr. Shams Charania reported on Thursday the Suns are one of three teams expected to pursue Grant if he hits unrestricted free agency. Is Grant worth it over Oubre from the Suns' perspective? Grant's lower usage role could help Deandre Ayton's development, but could Oubre actually tap into this himself in 2021?

Speaking of Ayton, an important Year 3 is upcoming for the big fella. Where does Ayton stand in the NBA in terms of centers and overall value right now? A max contract decision is right around the corner, so what should happen next season for that to be a for sure guarantee?

Closing out the show, Evan and David discuss the two 2020 draft prospects who check all the Suns' boxes. TCU's Desmond Bane and Florida State's Devin Vassell would be amazing fits in Phoenix. We explain how so, and why Bane could actually be this year's Cam Johnson.

All of this, plus so much more, in a jam-packed episode!
