For Phoenix Suns fans, Media Day in the NBA is sort of the unofficial start to the season.
Yes, it happens before Training Camp.
Yes, it happens before the Preseason.
Yes it happens before the Regular Season begins.
But it is the first time that fans get to see their favorite team in uniform – for the rookies and recently acquired, see them in their new threads for the first time – and is the first opportunity to hear one-on-one interviews about roster construction, how players have been developing over the offseason, what the team’s expectations are, what future moves might be in stock to continue to keep the roster growing, and so on.
