Season Predictions 2016
Current seeding: 14th
Projected seeding: 14th
This season was actually supposed to be another intense competition for a playoff spot out West for the Suns. Instead, things quickly spiraled out of control after the season-ending injury to star PG/SG Eric Bledsoe: backcourt running mate PG/SG Brandon Knight also missed considerable time due to injury, Markieff Morris (PF/SF, WAS) was finally traded away for future assets, and key players like C Tyson Chandler and SF/SG P.J Tucker have underwhelmed. But not to fear, Phoenix, for the sun is bright (I kind of made you see what I did there, didn't I?): there is a fresh batch of draft picks coming in the next couple of years, including their own, and youngsters like SG Devin Booker and C Alex Len have impressed amidst the turmoil. Couple that with the sensible management and the return of Bledsoe and Knight, and you realize, despite their atrocious record, that the sun is really shining on Phoenix (I should stop now).
