Suns bench players Torrey Craig, Ish Wainright and Josh Okogie have the strength, speed and defensive skills to help compensate for losing Crowder.
Wainright has a wide body, plays bigger than his 6-foot-5 frame inside and favors shooting the 3.
“He kind of showed me around the city, the dos and the don’ts. He’s kind of like Mr. Phoenix. I’ve seen that when we played and then everybody loved him, which didn’t surprise me. He’s been great.” He added: “Defense is always fun for me, but especially when you get the freedom and kind of, like, use your IQ to read a game or read plays and impact the game that way.”“As far as agility-wise, quick on your feet, and changing directions and getting to spots on the floor quick, yeah, you can apply that there,” Craig said about his strength and speed.
“It was crazy because as soon as I did that, everybody started trying to beat it,” Okogie said. “I just feel like that’s the culture we have here as a team. It’s just that competitive culture of ‘I’m gonna be No. 1.’

The Suns' curious handling of Jae Crowder creates more questions than answersOnce opening lineups have been introduced this preseason, you can find the Phoenix Suns' players bunched at their side of the court. A group of larger-than-life bowling pins, joyfully rattling and ramming against each other, all bouncing off the hardwood. Never mind the team is up for sale, following the expose of Robert Sarver's long-rumored behaviors. Never mind that debut defeat at the hands of the … Adelaide 36ers?
