3. Phoenix Suns
The demise of the Phoenix Suns was greatly exaggerated. Either that or many of us overlooked the depth of this roster and the greatness of Devin Booker. Either way, the Suns have been the most consistent team in the Western Conference through roughly the first six weeks of the regular season.
And that has been without the Chris Paul that we’ve come accustomed to seeing. He’s battled injuries to start the season and even when he has played, he’s looked like a shell of himself. Especially when it comes to his offensive efficiency numbers.
And if the rumor mills any indication, it seems that the Suns are going to be aggressive in trying to upgrade the roster heading into the NBA Trade Deadline.
