Should you run with the Suns in NBA 2K26?
If you’re the type to light it up from deep and push the tempo, the Suns are a blast. Booker and Green alone can take over a game, and you’ve got enough shooting to keep the lane open. Just don’t expect to bully anyone inside defensively, you’re going to have to outscore teams, not lock them down.
In NBA 2K26, the Phoenix Suns strike that weird but fun balance between finesse offense and chaotic defense. That means you’re always a step away from greatness or disaster, which actually makes for a pretty addictive play experience.
