The Suns found one thing to worry about in Detroit
Bright Side Of The Sun • • sports
Key Points:
- The Phoenix Suns played their first preseason game against the Detroit Pistons, using it as an opportunity to experiment with rotations and manage player minutes.
- The Suns committed 32 turnovers, mostly in the second half with their second and third units on the court, highlighting the Pistons' strong defensive pressure.
- A major concern from the game was the Suns' poor free-throw shooting, converting only 51.5% of their 33 attempts, despite showing aggressive play and drawing many fouls.
- Improving free-throw accuracy is crucial for the Suns, who ranked low in free-throw attempts last season and saw a decline in free-throw percentage compared to previous years.
- Defensively, the Suns are expected to compete strongly and generate extra possessions, but they will need to capitalize on free throws to compensate for their projected lack of elite three-point shooting.
