With the 6-14 Phoenix Suns officially at the quarter mark of the 2016-17 season, a large enough sample size now exists to start assessing the state of the team. So let’s start assessing.
They stink.
The Suns own a better record than only three other teams in the NBA and are on pace for 24-25 wins, which would be a hair better than their record from last year — 23-59, second worst in franchise history — that came amid just about every problem a team can suffer through in a season.
Losing isn’t the end of the world for this team, though, especially since wins were never expected to be in high supply.
