David, what are your thoughts about Cam’s ability to switch onto taller players with his length, and tenacity to fight to front the post (especially in line-ups with DA and Mikal to protect the rim on lobs over the top), in terms of his being able to play with Paul/x/Mikal/DA lineups? If Paul is cooking from the mid-range, which he usually is, could this be the Suns’ best closing line-up, given Payne’s comparable second side creation and far better off-ball shooting than Book?
I think he would be a great option over Jae or CamJ or Craig as the 5th closer, especially if teams try to trap/double Book and/or Paul. I think Cam is arguably the best on the team at creating an advantage out of a defensive scramble. Or perhaps, against a small-ball team like Clippers or Nets, we could have him take place of DA, and run with Paul/Booker/CP/Mikal/Craig. I don’t think that line-up has logged a single minute together, but I would love to see it.
Great work David! Playoff Cam!

there's no chance I am ending games with him over Book but I'd definitely consider ending with all 3 and I love his ability to fight on switches.
