Phoenix Suns consider options for second leading scorer next season
Summary

The Phoenix Suns are evaluating candidates for their second leading scorer as they prepare for the 2026-27 NBA season. Devin Booker remains the team's focal point but the identity of his running mate is uncertain. Contenders include Jalen Green, who has shown flashes of potential despite injury issues, and Dillon Brooks, who has skill as a shot creator but has struggled with consistency. Other players, such as Miles Bridges and Collin Gillespie, could also emerge as scoring options. The team is coming off a 45-win season and is looking to build on last year's performance.
