The new Woj bomb brings a much-needed sigh of relief for Suns’ fans as the franchise finds a proper replacement for Monty Williams, Vogel brings a high-level defensive mentality to the offensive-loaded Suns’ roster.

The hiring of Vogel comes shortly after the firing of the former Coach of The Year Monty Wiliams, a decision that led many to ponder whether it was a panic move from the Suns’ front office to shift the blame away from management.

Vogel is notably known for his history of constructing strong defensive lineups as he took the Los Angeles Lakers to win it all in the 2020 NBA bubble posting historic-level defensive ratings throughout that bubble Playoffs run. The Suns who are currently the bottom 3rd worst defensive team in the league will look to turn things around with Franks’ leadership and his 10-year coaching experience.
