The Suns finished last season with not only the worst record in the NBA, but also dead last in both offensive and defensive efficiency. If they don’t want this season to turn out like the last, improvement in both areas is imperative.
The additions of Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges through the draft and Trevor Ariza through free agency will hopefully assist them in both areas. New head coach Igor Kokoskov will also hopefully put together offensive and defensive schemes that will get the best out of the team.
To take steps forward in either area is probably not going to be swift, though.
