Suns have laid the foundation this offseason to build strong defense

Compared to other rosters in the Phoenix Suns’ past, this one will look more in the mold that fits the vision of how this league is heading. If you kept a watchful eye on this year’s NBA Playoffs, especially the Conference Finals, you saw the trends of what it will take to succeed nowadays.

Not only did Phoenix attack their two biggest weaknesses, defensive versatility and perimeter shooting, but they infused even more young talent onto their roster in the process. Undoubtedly, General Manager Ryan McDonough and Co. are betting on the 2018 Draft to make up much of their core around Devin Booker: Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges, Elie Okobo, De’Anthony Melton.
