The Suns have the pieces that should be equating to wins and debatably the right vets in place to help push them in that direction. And yet, they continue to lose more than win as this past week evidenced.
A view of their top line key stats points to them being a middling team. That might be more palatable if the Memphis Grizzlies weren’t so far ahead of schedule and the Sacramento Kings looking like they’ve rediscovered some of last year’s prowess.
Moving forward, with the Suns set to face one of the harder strengths of schedules in the association to finish the season it’s looking much more like they’ll be lottery bound. Especially with the Grizzlies, Spurs, Blazers and even the Kings playing better. Case in point through the last 10 games they are 4-6 and we already know they’ve started week 16 with losses.
