The Phoenix Suns had a notable offseason and showcased promising talent during the Summer League, highlighted by rookies Khaman Maluach, Koby Brea, and standout player Boogie Ellis. Despite finishing with a 2-3 record, several players shined, particularly Ryan Dunn, who averaged 14.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, indicating a significant role next season. Ellis, undrafted in 2024, demonstrated his skills with 14.4 points per game, potentially earning a spot on the roster. Koby Brea also impressed, drawing comparisons to Devin Booker with his shooting accuracy, suggesting he may be a key contributor next season.

The Phoenix Suns are taking a cautious approach with their roster as they prepare for their final game of the 2025 NBA Summer League against the Portland Trail Blazers. Key players Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro, Khaman Maluach, and Koby Brea will be resting. The Suns have struggled, losing their last three games and currently sit at 1-3 in the tournament.

Despite the setbacks, second-round pick Rasheer Fleming is set to start after recovering from knee soreness, and Boogie Ellis, Khalif Battle, Moses Wood, and CJ Huntley will join him on the court. Ighodaro had a solid run with averages of 12.3 points and 8.5 rebounds, while Dunn leads the team in scoring at 14.7 points per game.
