Unless something drastic happens this upcoming season, the Phoenix Suns will not make the playoffs. Let alone, make it to the .500 mark. 35 wins should be a realistic barometer for Phoenix after their 21-61 disaster, because, unfortunately, they look to be another year away from breaking through on their own.
The thing is, General Manager Ryan McDonough might not be in a position of patience. At this point in time, it’s looking like the current roster will be what is utilized on opening night.
Not only is this roster now technically younger than it already was last year, but they are going to likely roll the dice with Brandon Knight as their starting point guard with two inexperienced playmakers, rookie Elie Okobo and Shaquille Harrison, as his backups.
