PHOENIX– A convincing 120-98 Phoenix Suns win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday might’ve shown the future cornerstones with the bundle of young players the franchise has.
Guys like Khaman Maluach , Rasheer Fleming, and Ryan Dunn have been at the forefront. While Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks, and Jalen Green receive the limelight, the previous three made their mark. Whether it is Dunn’s growing confidence for the Suns , or Fleming gaining the respect of the locker room, or Maluach’s oozing potential, options look endless.
During Sunday’s win, Dunn had 12 points and three steals while connecting on five of his eight shots. Meanwhile, Maluach had seven points and seven rebounds in 17 minutes, with a +19 in the box score. Considering the myriad of injuries and the lackluster performance 24 hours prior, the youth movement showed itself again.
It’s something Dunn hopes that extends beyond the season. “I love it. Playing with those two, they give a lot of life and youthful life,” Dunn said, when asked about the Suns’ rookies postgame.
