11. Phoenix Suns

Don’t be surprised to see the Phoenix Suns just outside the top 10 in many NBA power rankings to open this season. With the moves that they’ve made during the offseason, coupled with how they looked in the NBA’s restart bubble, they’ve deserved the recognition.

If we see the Devin Booker from the bubble to start the 2020-21 season, the Suns are going to be a huge headache for every team they play. If nothing else, the Suns are going to have one of the league’s best offenses.

If Chris Paul can still play at a high level, the Suns could be in for a huge jump up the rankings in the West this season. This team has great potential and who wouldn’t want to see Devin Booker in the playoffs?
