Gordon, Allen proving capable of bolstering Suns’ rim pressure

Discover how the Phoenix Suns can dominate the offensive game, even without the Big 3 playing together.

Kevin Durant’s great start, paired with concerns over the injuries of Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, along with a 3-4 record, highlights the impact of reserve guards Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon on the team’s trajectory this season.

The Suns have an array of skilled drivers who can penetrate defenses. Once fully healthy, they will unleash a constant rim pressure from various sources, a notable departure from the previous reliance on Booker and Cam Payne.

Phoenix impressively sits at 13th in drives per game this season at 47.9, according to NBA.com, even with Beal out for all seven games and Booker missing five. This marks a considerable increase from the numbers in the past.

Beal and Booker’s driving ability, paired with Durant’s contributions, have been crucial. Allen and Gordon, often labeled as shooters, have also made significant contributions, showcasing their scoring and driving prowess.

Both Gordon and Allen have displayed their diverse skill sets, showcasing their roles as scorers, drivers, and shooters. This rare combination has been vital in bolstering the Suns’ offense.

As the team gears up for a full-strength lineup, the potential impact of Allen and Gordon will only continue to rise, portraying a promising outlook for the Suns’ offense.
