It’s been over eight years since the Phoenix Suns have participated in a NBA playoff game.
That’s not likely to change this season, but the core of the team that reverses that streak may finally be in place. One giant piece of that core is rookie Deandre Ayton, the highest selected Phoenix Suns draft pick ever.
Ayton is only 20-years-old and will take time to adjust to the NBA, but he does have certain skills that should translate right away to the Association. Those skills should help the Suns be a more competitive team in 2018-19.
