3 Suns preseason storylines I can’t wait to watch unfold

With every new season comes excitement. With every preseason comes curiosity. So what am I looking forward to this preseason?

The battle at center will be at the heart of plenty of conversations. There will undoubtedly be some overanalysis of every performance from Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, and perhaps one of them will solidify his place in the starting five based on what we see throughout the five preseason games. But I'm also interested in what the minutes look like for CJ Huntley and Duop Reath.

Both are essentially fighting for an opportunity to remain with the organization during the regular season, with the ceiling perhaps being a two-way contract. I know who I'd prefer Phoenix to keep based on youth, long-term viability, and developmental upside. But ultimately, how they perform throughout training camp and the preseason could determine who remains on the roster.
