Suns Reportedly Agree to Ighodaro's Three-Year Extension

The Phoenix Suns’ 1-2 start has raised concerns about both their offense and defense, though the early results come from a small sample and included games against strong opponents. The starting lineup has struggled to mesh, particularly the pairings of Devin Booker with Jalen Green and Miles Bridges with Dillon Brooks, while Phoenix’s rebounding and three-point efficiency have also been cited as weaknesses. Defensively, the Suns have allowed 123.7 points per game through three contests, with opponents shooting 48% overall and 40.7% from three, a sharp drop from the team’s strong performance last season. Analysts say Phoenix needs to improve its possession game and find a more effective way to use Green alongside Booker, but the team’s early offensive flashes and coach Jordan Ott’s track record offer reasons not to draw firm conclusions yet.
