Monty Williams, the Suns head coach, says they will start some of their taller options at power forward Frank Kaminsky and Dario Saric ahead of their clash with 76ers.
 
“I think that’s going to be the way we’re going to do this going forward,” Williams said. 
 
“Because we’re seeing all these teams who are big and they’re playing big power forwards. 
 
"And points in the paint and production in the paint has been something that we’ve wanted to nullify as it relates to playing against teams like that.”
