The retooled Phoenix Suns picked up enough young talent to be considered as a unit with plenty of grit and hustle on its 2025-26 roster.

Newcomers Jalen Green and forward Dillon Brooks are the duo coming back to the Suns in the recent Kevin Durant trade along with Khaman Maluach, a Duke University center selected by Phoenix with the No. 10 draft pick in the NBA draft.

Suns radio analyst Tim Kempton said the new team comes without hefty expectations of a superstar-led team of Durant, Devin Booker and Brad Beal.
