Last year, the Suns finished dead last in the NBA, going 21-61. It was a season packed with injuries, coach firings, Twitter drama, and a lot of losing. But soon after the end of the season, things started getting better.
The Suns won the draft lottery and eventually went on to take Deandre Ayton, who should be their franchise center going forward. After rumblings of an unhappy Devin Booker, he finally signed a max contract extension. The team landed Igor Kokoskov as its new head coach. His addition is a step in the right direction in regards to helping the Suns develop their young players.
