The Phoenix Suns are expected to be worse this season, despite already missing the playoffs with Kevin Durant last season. But, is that really where they stand in the hierarchy of the NBA? In the Western Conference?
PHNX Suns taps in for an early-week tier to determine where exactly they stand, and if they are underrated in the grand scheme of things. Are they better than the Spurs, Kings or other play-in hopefuls? The crew breaks it all down! Follow us @PHNX_Suns, @StephenPG3, @GeraldBourguet, @ErikRuby & @FreckledMamba!

I would sacrifice the entire season to develop youngsters and not have to sit through another KD boring isolation centered offense.
Better can also mean more exciting to watch.
Im jus ready for the season to start already
Timberwolves and Dallas I have higher, I think Suns could be a wild card, but we haven’t seen them play, lot of let’s see
How can you have 7 teams locked for the playoffs in the west? And have another 3 as wild cards?
Suns are a payoff team/wildcard
I say suns will be 5-10 somewhere and win least 42 games
I have the Suns with 16 wins thru December as the players get use to the new coaches and coaches get players in the best areas to succeed….then the Suns will win 28 games from January thru end of season as: rooks get their second wind, rotation will be 10-11 players of constant sub of fresh body, speed and athleticism steals more wins. Teams will want to rest for the playoffs and not any to face the Suns constant pressure on the rim. 44 wins
Suns will play spoiler this year as they fight for 9th or 8th spot…..but contend next season led by the best back court in Booker/Green. Suns need a SF or PF that can drive/facilitate/create their own shot. Houston Jalen Green always had opponents best wing defender guarding him…a good SF/PF would force teams to keep SF/PF on that player defensively. It's all about mismatches, Booker/Green abusing Centers, while SF/PF forces switches abusing PG/SG. It's not always dueling banjos of Booker-Green taking turns driving.
They definitely have a lot more going for them than people think. Jalen AND D-Book both have chips on their shoulders and putting them together definitely could spell bad news for the league. Who knows if the roster will stay the same by seasons’ beginning, but at least this year we have a coach who has a roster full of length, grit, and shooting ability. I wouldn’t be shocked if we’re around that 40ish mark and fighting for a 8/9.
Hey its Pop’s and the Visine Bros, in a word , NO.
Warriors should be in play in bubble as 7 th seed. Can only have 6 teams in playoffs locks or higher cos 7 th seed plays in the play in.
