2014/15 Phoenix Suns Report Cards: The Reserves, and the Ghost of Ishmas Past

The end of the bench was an underwhelming hodgepodge of rookies and basketball-challenged veterans for the Suns in 2014/15. Perhaps Ish Smith and Dionte Christmas were worth more than their weight in towels.

Even when things were going reasonably well during the earlier stages of the Phoenix Suns' 2014/15 campaign, there was an unidentifiable funk permeating throughout the team. Some signs were easy to pinpoint -- the slumped shoulders of Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas glazing over and muttering to himself during timeouts, P.J. Tucker hopelessly chasing after the bus like Tommy Boy -- but there was also a mysterious malaise that hung about like an old wedge of Limburger.
