On today's episode, we dive deep into the Suns' core of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges. Where steps in their developments did they take in 2019-20? FanSided's Suns insider Gerald Bourguet joins to explore what went right.

Bridges has a huge opportunity in Orlando to step up in Kelly Oubre Jr.'s absence, and he was making the leap before the season was put on pause. The former Villanova Wildcat is well on his way to becoming an All-NBA defender very soon, too. What's a realistic step for Bridges to take entering Year 3?
