Cameron Johnson's game has really matured during his sophomore year in the NBA. His athleticism and improved defensive ability allow him to switch out and defend the perimeter. A skill many scouts did not believe he was capable of adding to his game coming out of college. Johnson is a long-term versatile option for the Phoenix Suns.


Frank Kaminsky: B+

2020-21 Season Record - MPG: 15.8 PPG: 7.1 AST: 1.5 REB: 4.4 FG%: 46.7

Frank Kaminsky was picked up off the waiver wire at the beginning of the season. He is now a starter for the Phoenix Suns and is earning crunch time minutes down the stretch.

Kaminsky's seven-foot frame in the Power Forward position next to Deandre Ayton is causing matchup problems for their competitors.


Jevon Carter: B

2020-21 Season Record - MPG: 12.0 PPG: 3.1 AST: 1.1 REB: 1.5 FG%: 34.7

Jevon Carter has been a good two-way player for the Phoenix Suns this season. He is currently listed as the backup point guard due to Cameron Payne being out with a foot injury.

Carter is a player who has a good feel for the game and is an excellent leader for the second unit, but his lack of athleticism limits his ability to score.


Cameron Payne: C

2020-21 Season Record - MPG: 17.5 PPG: 6.6 AST: 3.9 REB: 2.2 FG%: 45.8

Cameron Payne is known for the energy level he can bring to a team. He started the season as backup point guard to Chris Paul but has recently missed 10 straight games due to injury.

It is unknown when the veteran guard will be making a return this season. He has only appeared in 21 games since signing with the Phoenix Suns in 2019.


Langston Galloway: C+

2020-21 Season Record - MPG: 11.6 PPG: 5.0 AST: 0.7 REB: 1.1 FG%: 47.2

Langston Galloway is another essential player in the second unit for the Phoenix Suns. He is a fearless player and never afraid to take a big shot. Here's what head coach Monty Williams had to say when asked about Galloway:

He has a quick trigger and he's not afraid to take shots.

Galloway's offense off the bench has been a huge boost for the Phoenix Suns.


Remaining Phoenix Suns Rosters: N/A

The rest of the players on the Phoenix Suns' roster have played insufficient minutes to warrant a realistic grade.
