Over the past decade, the perception of the Phoenix Suns has changed drastically. Long gone are the days of Steve Nash, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Shawn Marion executing Mike D’Antoni’s Seven Seconds or Less offense to perfection. The Suns are now known as the league’s laughingstock.
Ever since Nash left, Phoenix has been searching for the correct recipe to build a sustainable contender.
When Phoenix began tanking for prospects following the 2015 draft where they lucked into Devin Booker, it didn’t turn out well for them. It’s quite possible, if Josh Jackson isn’t able to turn things around over the next year, they whiffed entirely on the 2016 and 2017 draft classes.
