The Suns head into 2025-26 still seeking a true lead guard after Tyus Jones left for Orlando, pushing Devin Booker to anchor a multi-guard attack with Jalen Green if he starts at point. With Durant and Beal moved on, Phoenix bets its offense on Booker’s playmaking, Green’s growth, and Collin Gillespie stepping up as a reliable secondary ballhandler. New coach Jordan Ott must weave a flexible system around a roster that features combo guards like Goodwin and Butler while keeping a center-centered floor for offense to flourish without a traditional facilitator.

Dončić taxed Germany for 39, but Wagner and Schröder closed the door in a dramatic EuroBasket quarterfinal. Germany surged with a 12-0 run in the fourth as Obst’s late dagger and Schröder’s clutch strike sealed a semifinal clash with Finland. Da Silva’s half-court 3 kept Slovenia within distance, yet foul trouble and limited deep shooting cost them the edge. Finland’s win over Georgia added depth to the Final Four, with Jantunen and Markkanen supplying balanced offense off the bench.

Fantasy angle: Doncic dominates usage, but Germany’s balanced attack and late-game shotmaking tilt the upside toward multi-portfolio lineups. Expect 1-2 primary options from Slovenia to carry nightly, while German contributors like Wagner and Schröder offer safer mid-range floors in big-show formats.

Luka Doncic carried Slovenia to a EuroBasket run that ended in a hard-fought quarterfinal loss to Germany, 99-91, as Franz Wagner lit up the floor with 23 and Dennis Schroder added 20. Jokic and Giannis were among the stars in a field loaded with NBA elites, but Germany’s depth sunk Slovenia’s standout effort. Doncic finished with 39 for Slovenia, proving his EuroBasket volume remains elite even as Slovenia’s overall scoring support lagged. With a Lakers extension in hand, his NBA value stays sky-high as Germany’s depth and Olympic momentum hint at stronger international ceilings for fantasy rosters.
