With the 2015-16 Suns guaranteed to finish with the second-worst record in franchise history, does that make this team worse than the one in 2012-13?
The 2015-16 season has not gone well for the Phoenix Suns. They are presently a half-game back of the Brooklyn Nets for the third-worst record in the NBA and, with a record of 22-58 through 80 games, have already secured sole possession of the franchise's second-worst record ever, behind only the 16-66 expansion Suns in 1968-69.
The lack of success by this season's Suns team coupled with turmoil and an awkward coaching change that saw a well-liked coach replaced by an assistant with zero prior experience has conjured images of the 2012-13 Suns that went 25-57, precipitating a major overhaul of the roster, coaching staff, and front office in the offseason.
