Impact Shamet returned to the starting lineup from a three-game absence due to a hip injury, and while he performed well enough as a distributor, his poor shooting marred his overall line. The Suns could soon get Cameron Johnson (knee), Chris Paul (hip) and Cameron Payne (foot) back from multi-game absences, but Shamet may still be in good position to maintain a starting role while shooting guard Devin Booker (groin) faces a longer-term absence. Until Paul is back in the fold, Shamet should see an uptick in his assists production, though Shamet will profile as more of a streaming option for three-pointers once the 12-time All-Star is ready to take back starting duties at point guard.
