As expected, the Phoenix Suns have gotten off to a rocky start this season. They only have one win through their first eight games and they have left a lot to be desired for such a young, promising team.

Devin Booker is, as always, shining brighter than the rest of the team, averaging 26 points. Rookie Deandre Ayton has also been a bright spot for the Suns this season, as has T.J. Warren. However, apart from those three players, the Suns have struggled to find production from any of the other pieces on their roster.

Even though not many expected the Suns to be a playoff team or even compete much in the Western Conference, it’s hard to look at what the Suns have done this season and merely chalk it up to the process.
