Imagine last season the Phoenix Suns opening the first 16 games of the regular season without two starters and two key reserves at both point guard and center.
Ironically they didn’t have a point guard and they had no center depth, but regardless, basically their 3-13 start might have actually been 0-16.
This season is a much different story, as the team is 8-8 through those first 16 games, and yet they have been without Deandre Ayton for 15, without Ricky Rubio for five, and minus Aron Baynes for the last four games.
