Benjamin Garcia dissects why Fleming’s three-point shooting and Maluach's defensive presence might be the answer to Phoenix’s biggest weaknesses, while questioning how head coach Jordan Ott will balance trusting veterans with unlocking rookie potential. The conversation heats up as Jalen Green’s omission from ESPN’s Top 25 under 25 sparks debate over his efficiency and fit with the Suns, comparing him to Jonathan Kuminga and examining trade possibilities. Garcia breaks down why a true power forward—not another project—should top the Suns’ wishlist and warns against doubling down on unproven talent. Can Phoenix’s young guns spark a surge, or does the team need a blockbuster move to contend? 00:00 Phoenix Suns' Biggest Concerns 06:35 Suns' Potential Roster Additions 09:29 Basketball Player Comparisons 11:41 Rookies' Time, Jalen Green Snub 16:59 Jalen Green: Potential vs. Skepticism 19:17 Jalen Green's Shot Chart Insight 21:18 Take Control of Your Money 26:43 Suns' Roster and Trade Debate 28:22 True Power Forward Only  📲 Follow Locked On Suns on TikTokLocked On Suns https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonphxsuns?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on InstagramLocked On Suns https://www.instagram.com/lockedonphxsuns/ 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on XLocked On Suns https://x.com/LockedOnPHXSunsBen Garcia https://x.com/BenGarciaShow Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOSuns?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Benjamin Garcia and John Voita examine whether the Suns now outrank the Lakers in the Western Conference hierarchy and debate if Phoenix’s relentless style exposes the Lakers’ aging roster. Can Devin Booker’s return spark a surge, or does his shooting slump signal trouble ahead? The hosts unpack controversial officiating, dissect free-throw disparities, and spotlight key matchups—Suns vs. Lakers, Timberwolves, and Spurs. Discussion features insights on Booker’s playmaking, defensive liabilities across lineups, and strategic shifts for the Suns to exit the play-in tier. With trades looming and depth chart questions swirling, Garcia and Voida explore what Phoenix needs to close the gap on contenders like the Nuggets and Thunder.

Devin Booker’s return saw flashes of resilience, but questionable foul calls and a glaring free throw disparity kept the Suns chasing. Did the referees’ decisions overshadow Phoenix's gritty comeback, or are late-game heroics masking deeper issues? Benjamin Garcia highlights Mark Williams’ efficient scoring, Dylan Brooks’ emotional highs and costly errors, and coach Jordan Ott’s perplexing rotations. The podcast explores whether the Suns’ tendency to wait until the fourth quarter for their best basketball could hamper their playoff potential. Insightful stats, player breakdowns, and playoff matchup predictions paint a vivid picture of Phoenix’s strengths, areas for improvement, and why despite this loss, the Suns may have the edge over the Lakers in a postseason series.

Benjamin Garcia unpacks the data, comparing Gillespie’s court impact, shooting efficiency, and playmaking to Green’s firepower, while outlining how Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks fit into the Suns’ optimal lineup. Defensive matchups, size concerns, and synergy ratings spark debate as Garcia challenges traditional thinking on the team’s best rotation. Devin Booker’s groin soreness adds another layer, potentially sidelining the Suns’ superstar for key games against the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Oklahoma City Thunder. Garcia breaks down what Gillespie, Brooks, and Allen must do to keep Phoenix competitive, projects the timeline for Booker’s return, and evaluates the likelihood of surviving a daunting schedule without key starters.

The Lakers struggle with turnovers and sluggish defense, while LeBron James barely keeps his historic double-digit scoring streak alive against a swarming Suns defense. Benjamin Garcia breaks down how Phoenix’s ball movement, athleticism, and defensive identity overwhelmed veteran stars like Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Key topics include Devin Booker’s untimely groin injury and its impact on the Suns’ tough upcoming schedule, Gillespie’s case for Most Improved Player, and why the Houston Rockets might regret losing Brooks.

Typical GSW fan Arrogance and Immaturity from the outset, I hoped I wouldn’t hear that, how naive I was. Ohhhh but the debate if the GSW don’t make the finals will INDEED be something, after all, the Suns ‘shouldn’t’ have beaten the Lakers last year (which happened regardless of anyones words, which is relevant in 2022 why??) and the GSW (no.2) beat the Suns at home and that’s important?. That’s the argument against the Suns? Ok, go and come up with a legitimate argument. GSW have not made the playoffs in 2 years and lost to a handful of poor teams at home but that’s not important? Lol

You too continue to amaze with your lack of insight. Of course the draft is important. Jones knows that. We may get the number one pick. At least a top 3. You may wonder about Jones but you too waffle more than any podcast.

Love the content, but Brendons audio is so bad this is impossible to listen to. Between him constantly sniffling and the apparent well he was in during recording, my ears are definitely bleeding...
