Budenholzer is viewed as a candidate whose past success could translate into a strong performance with the Suns. However, there are concerns about whether he can extract enough value from the roster, especially given the team's lack of a point-of-attack defender. Questions linger about how effectively he can enhance shot selection and rim protection, particularly with aging stars. While he has a track record of winning, the potential for significant improvement with this team seems limited, making it uncertain if he can generate a compelling narrative for the Coach of the Year award.
