All 24 PHNX Suns interviews from 2024 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas

For the third straight year, PHNX Sports was able to cover NBA Summer League, and for the third straight year, our crew returned from Las Vegas exhausted, dehydrated, and proud about one-upping our production from the year before.

During our time at the 2024 NBA Summer League, we were able to speak with Summer Suns coach Vince Legarza, rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro, and newcomer Collin Gillespie, who's joining on a two-way contract.

We also got to speak with coach Mike Budenholzer and Josh Okogie, some recognizable faces like Frank Kaminsky and Eddie Johnson, and quite a few NBA experts from around the league like ESPN's Bobby Marks, Hoopshype's Michael Scotto and The Athletic's John Hollinger.

From the Suns rookies, to the new additions of Monte Morris and Mason Plumlee, to how Phoenix is approaching the NBA's second tax apron, there were a TON of thoughts on the current state of the team and what to expect heading into next season.

For your convenience, we've gathered all 24 interviews that we were able to conduct during our time in Vegas into one place. This will have to hold everyone over until yours truly returns from his honeymoon in Thailand in a few weeks, so enjoy the content until early August!
