If I were the Suns, I would just spam the living shit out of CP/Ayton PnRs attacking Powell's """defense.""" Given that the very act of announcing Powell as the starter is an intransigent stubbornness on RC's part, there's no reason to think he'll adjust much. Then, after the Suns are up 20, they unleash Book, and the game is over before halftime.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. The Suns have been a problem for us in the Booker years, and their acquisition of CP and our giving zero effs about defense with our starting lineup choice means an extremely probable loss.
I’d think defending the pick and roll is what Powell is best at on that end. Further, while Paul is a genius in that area, I’m not sure Aston is yet.
Should be an interesting game.
