The Phoenix Suns are in a very strange situation: they are in the area before NBA purgatory (a perennial 7-10 team who is never bad enough to win the lottery but never good enough to compete for a title), but they are no longer in NBA hell – the basement – that can only be climbed out of through the luck of the draw in the NBA Draft.
The Suns have Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, the first two pieces in a three-headed monster that should be what they need to finally become that NBA championship competitor (or at least tough playoff out) that fans have been longing for since the end of the Steve Nash era.
