The Phoenix Suns will start Marquese Chriss at power forward beginning on Tuesday and is expected to remain in the spot indefinitely.

Jared Dudley had started the Suns' first seven games at power forward but Chriss provides more size and athleticism.

Chriss was the eighth overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Chriss has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game with 46.7 percent shooting from the field, including one 3-pointer.
