The transformation of the Phoenix Suns has been a steady one since drafting current franchise cornerstone Devin Booker back in 2015. The organization having gone from a laughing stock through Booker’s first few years in the league, to 8-0 darlings in the NBA’s Bubble of 2020.
The additions of Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and later Bradley Beal have completely changed the fortunes of the franchise, and that is thanks in large part to the new ownership of Mat Ishbia. The Suns are for real, and they are among the favorites to win a championship next season, no matter what Charles Barkley says.
