A team by team analysis shows the Suns are near the bottom of the league in years, games and minutes played among their reserves. Is the paucity of experience a potential stumbling block?
One of the reasons for my skepticism with the present incarnation of the Phoenix Suns was my inkling over the apparent lack of experience off the bench.
That inkling fomented this research to detail exactly how the Suns' reserves compare to their counterparts across the league in terms of years in the league, regular season games played and total regular season minutes played.
That inkling confirmed my suspicion that the Suns have a dearth of real time experience at the NBA level.
