Chris Paul is one of the most legendary point guards in NBA history, well-known for his prowess from the midrange area and his playmaking ability. He is still a solid player for the Phoenix Suns as of right now and is currently averaging 13.8 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 8.7 APG.
After the Phoenix Suns traded for Kevin Durant, there have been many who suggested that the team has the talent to win a championship. Recently, Candace Parker stated her belief that there is now a lot of pressure on Chris Paul after this move.

I think I come down to this one point… There’s a lot of pressure on Chris Paul. If you don’t win with this…
There is no doubt that this is the most talented team that Chris Paul has ever been on in his career. Having two legitimate All-NBA/MVP-Level players in Devin Booker and Kevin Durant means that this is the perfect situation for Paul as a pass-first point guard. It is clear that Chris Paul has a legitimate opportunity to win it all this year with this squad, and hopefully, he can rise up to the challenge.
Charles Barkley Believes The Suns Need To Improve Their Depth To Win A Championship
Though the Kevin Durant trade is widely considered a positive trade for the Suns, there are still some areas in which they could improve on. Recently, Charles Barkley claimed that the Phoenix Suns need to improve their bench before they succeed in winning a championship.
“The West is so good now, you’re going to need a good bench. You can’t go to war with just KD, Booker, and Ayton. Because the West is so loaded. If they played the Clippers, the Lakers now, I haven’t even mentioned Memphis, your bench is going to be really, really important.”
“They gave up a lot so I think the buyout market – I’m going to be watching that for my Suns. Our starting unit, we’re good to go, but to win three series just to get to the Finals, your bench is going to be huge.”
The Phoenix Suns are likely a premier buyout free agent destination due to their status as championship contenders. They could definitely improve their depth by signing veterans on the free agent market right now, and that is really their only weakness.
It is hard to see any team in the Western Conference managing to beat the Phoenix Suns in a series. They have the talent to beat anyone in the West, but chemistry and cohesion will be key in making that happen.
