After a loss to the Denver Nuggets last night, the Phoenix Suns are 15-31 on the season and 5.5 games out of the 8th playoff spot.
The Suns have no All-Stars for the 5th consecutive season, a stretch not quite as long as the soon-to-be 7th consecutive season outside the playoff picture.
With a 15-31 record, the Suns have a tenuous hold on 2nd place in the reverse NBA standings, putting them in position to draft the highest they’ve picked since 1987 (Armen Gilliam, #2 overall) - a selection they likely need to nail in order to eventually end the dry stretch of playoff-less and All-Star-less seasons sometime soon.
