The Phoenix Suns finished last season with the NBA’s worst record, and after major roster changes, coaching changes, and management changes, the team has worked themselves all the way up to the NBA’s second worst record.
Growing pains were inevitable for a team with so much turnover and so many young players, but this is worse than expected. The Suns currently sit at 2-10, only one game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers and on pace for just 13 wins on the season after winning 21 last year.
The team is by all means more talented than last season’s group, and many were expecting a major jump this season, possibly winning over 30 games, but they have spectacularly underperformed, and it’s been frustrating to watch.
