The Phoenix Suns’ preseason, through four games, has provided reasons for optimism. While the preseason is typically uneventful, serving its purpose as a warm-up for the long and demanding season ahead, it’s not where you’ll see intricate offensive sets or stifling defensive schemes. Nor will the star players log significant minutes.
What you’re really hoping for in the preseason, knowing the outcomes don’t carry weight, is growth. Especially with a new head coach at the helm, you want to see progress. A stronger command of the basics and sharper execution of the fundamentals. The goal is to witness steady improvement.
