The Phoenix Suns are much better than they were last year. And that’s great! The team truly is making progress, and Deandre Ayton looks like he’ll be a great player in this league for a long time. However, there’s no chance this team makes the playoffs, and it’s time to accept that.
Let me be clear, though. Tanking absolutely does not mean not trying. The players on the court need to bring their best effort every night to get better, and one can only hope the Phoenix Suns finally have a coach that can motivate them to keep playing hard with the addition of Igor Kokoskov.
