Why the Booker, Ayton, Rubio trio works so well with David Nash

On today's episode, David Nash returns as Evan parses through his first newsletter piece. Mainly, Evan and David go over how the Suns' newfound trio of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Ricky Rubio does so well together. Whether it be the eye test or advanced metrics, there's no doubting this 3-man lineup is the bread and butter for Phoenix's improvements.

Finally having stability at the point guard spot has led to Booker and Ayton seeing their own looks found in easier ways. It shows in Booker's career-high true shooting percentage plus the chemistry on lobs between Ayton and Rubio.

What have Ayton's improvements on the margins looked like? Setting screens goes under the radar, but Ayton has seen big growth there thanks to Aron Baynes.

If the Suns want to take the leap forward next year, this trio will need to be firing on all cylinders once more.

Closing out the show, Evan and David go over some pre-Orlando notes featuring Cam Johnson and Dario Saric.
