James Jones has done a seemingly masterful job rebuilding the Phoenix Suns’ roster around the core of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Kelly Oubre, and Mikal Bridges.
While always the core four, rather than relying on the potential of the eventual development of a number of rookies and extremely young players, Jones has instead brought in several high-quality veterans, such as Ricky Rubio, Aron Baynes, and Dario Saric.
As such, this is not the Phoenix Suns of the recent past.
In fact, there is a very real opportunity for this team as now designed to make a run at the playoffs in 2020.
