Kevin Durant is reportedly experiencing frustration with the Phoenix Suns, particularly due to an 'underwhelming supporting cast' and the absence of teammate Brad Beal, as reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, commonly known as 'Woj'. The Suns' struggles are not just tied to their roster composition, but also their style of play, as they rank 23rd in terms of pace and have issues with transition and switching on defense. Despite Durant's individual talent, the team's performance is not meeting expectations, leading to speculation about the need for changes to satisfy Durant's requirements for a successful roster.
"Why aren't you running back?" Not the start to the half that the Suns wanted.
I was intrigued by the Suns putting Eubanks on DJJ to start the game and then I realized the Suns can get iffy in transition and can struggle switching guard/guard screens. Luka not the guy to do that with. https://t.co/DswEnZ0GMf
Suns issue beyond health: Book is the only one creating consistent downhill pressure. KD is still amazing, but he’s not getting into the lane like that. They also don’t play fast enough. They’re like 23rd in pace and don’t have the size to play that slow.
