Push the pace.
It is the one phrase that has been spoken the most thus far here at Phoenix Suns training camp.
“We want to play even faster than we did last year,” forward P.J. Tucker said.
Last year, the Suns ranked eighth in the NBA in pace of play, a statistic used to measure the number of possessions per 48 minutes.
“We want to pick that up. We want to be one, two or three,” head coach Jeff Hornacek said. “Really try to get the ball out of bounds and go with it. Put pressure on the other teams. We have a deep team so we feel we can do that. And that’s us pushing these guys to get in that type of shape you need to be to do that.”
