Suns have finished their off-season and are now ready for the regular season
Phoenix Suns 2016-17 Season Preview
This year, it’s possible that the Phoenix Suns could be a playoff team. After improving their defense by a ton through coaches and players, they are predicted to be a 7th-10th seed team. Brandon Ingram is not expected to put up superstar numbers, but is expected to contribute. Eric Bledsoe will be making a comeback from his injury and we hope he continues to do well.
SUMMER OF 2016:
Team Additions - Brandon Ingram, Domantas Sabonis, Amir Johnson, Jason Thompson, Metta World Peace
Team Losses - James Johnson, Anthony Bennett, Tyson Chandler, Jon Leuer
Best Offensive Player: Eric Bledsoe
Best Defensive Player: Alex Len
Top Playmaker: Brandon Knight
Best New Addition: Brandon Ingram
Best New Free-Agent Addition: Amir Johnson
PROJECTED DEPTH CHART:
C - Alex Len / Domantas Sabonis/ Jason Thompson
PF - Taj Gibson / Amir Johnson / Mirza Teletovic
SF - Brandon Ingram / T.J. Warren / Metta World Peace
SG - Devin Booker / Brandon Knight / Archie Goodwin
PG - Eric Bledsoe / Ronnie Price /
Lineup changes: SF Brandon Ingram won't be guaranteed the starting small forward spot in the beginning of the season because he is a rookie. SG Brandon Knight will not start this season as he will be the sixth man getting heavy, heavy minutes. The reason why he won't start is that his defense is subpar and Booker has a lot of potential to meet his comparison: Ray Allen. Taj Gibson and Amir Johnson will alternate on who starts, depending on how they play.
