After years of tanking for prospects, prime vets are the key to success for Phoenix Suns

Now that the Phoenix Suns have blown the doors off the early-season schedule, the only head scratching about the offseason left to do is by the experts wondering how they didn’t see this coming.

Over the past year, general manager James Jones whittled down his stable of young prospects to only the very best, and swapped out the rest for “prime vets” who can help instill a winning culture.
