The Phoenix Suns had a major organizational overhaul this off-season. They parted ways with their head coach from last season, Mike Budenholzer, and traded away arguably their best player in Kevin Durant.
In the wake of these moves, they have attempted to retool around franchise icon Devin Booker and brought in new head coach Jordan Ott. Unlike Budenholzer, Ott is entering a situation without high expectations, and it could lead to surprise buzz in the Coach of the Year race.
Jordan Ott is in the perfect situation for a first-time head coach.
Coaching the Suns has been a very stressful ordeal for the last couple of seasons.
