Branden Carlson’s impressive performance against the Suns, featuring a 26-point, 10-rebound outing with five blocks and five three-pointers, marks his second consecutive productive game as a starter. Accumulating 49 points and 22 rebounds over these games, he highlights his potential despite being on a two-way deal. However, with key players like Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein fit for the playoffs, Carlson’s court time may be limited to non-competitive moments.
