The early stages of the 2026-27 season is drawing early up-and-down results for the Phoenix Suns.

Part of the blame here can track back to the Phoenix front office continuously passing on adding a full-time point guard to the roster. 

Below are three potential additions the franchise can kick tires on in an effort to maximize what is a rather average offense at this stage.

Murray is the first target that comes to mind independent of potential hopes to make a move for Kyrie Irving.

The 30-year-old former first round draft pick owns a $30 million player option for next season, so the cost to obtain him may not be much more than a Jalen Green salary match.

While Murray is aging and coming off an achilles tear, he possesses high-end playmaking sensibilities that make him a quality fit next to Devin Booker.

For what Murray lacks as a defensive weapon in 2026, he makes up for it in the scoring and playmaking department.

Henderson, 22 was a high-profile prospect ahead of the 2023 NBA Draft. 

The blue-chip prospect has experienced ups-and-downs over the last few seasons in Portland. It's been challenging for Henderson to adapt to the next level between injuries, adjusting to the speed of the game, and a lack of jump shot.

Henderson is now an above-average shooter/scorer, and is well above average as a playmaker.

This is a situation in which the Suns should kick the tires in a potential "buy-low" scenario, as it certainly appears that he is the odd-man-out in Portland at this time.

Fox could have become a member of the Suns in the 2017 draft, had the franchise not taken Josh Jackson.

The former All-Star now finds himself in a curious position with the Spurs following a trade away from the Sacramento Kings two years ago. The Spurs seem to be shifting towards a future built around Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle. Phoenix has a clear need for an (ideally) athletic point guard that has quality passing pedigree.

Committing to Fox's bloated contract would be a tall ask for the Suns, but having a conversation about making the move should be standard practice. 

Until then, the Suns are seeking to make the Green/Booker arrangement work in the early stages of a playoff-hopeful season.
