Phoenix Suns
This isn’t a ranking that is confident.
Frankly, it needs a leap of faith to get a franchise that is done little to deserve one. The Phoenix Suns are creeping toward the close of a fourth consecutive season with a sub-.300 winning percentage. They’ve had four distinct coaches during that stretch and could consider another change after this season. There’s also a troubling tendency of disorder within the organization.
But this really is a players’ league, and the Suns have some of the best up-and-comers in the business.
Devin Booker is 22 years old and an explosive scorer (25.1 points per game). Phoenix’s mishandling of the point guard spot also compelled him to develop as a shot-creator, and he’s responded with a career-best 6.7 assists per contest. Deandre Ayton, 20, ought to be a first-team All-Rookie lock and just the third NBA freshman to average 16 points and 10 rebounds during the 2000s.
That is probably it for possible stars, but players like TJ Warren, Josh Jackson, Mikal Bridges and (if he is re-signed) Kelly Oubre Jr. are capable of tackling complementary roles. And with this core still place to rise through the Suns’ own first-rounders and an incoming pick from the Milwaukee Bucks, the ability base will continue to enlarge.
