Early NBA season surprise team: The Suns

[insidehoops]

Watch the next few Suns games. To see if this continues.

They're just 4-2, which isn't that special, but they're playing better basketball than most of the league so far.

[insidehoops]

Suns rotation:

Backcourt: Ricky Rubio and Devin Booker

Forwards: Kelly Oubre and Dario Saric

Centers: Deandre Ayton (25-game suspension), now Aron Baynes starting

Key bench: Frank Kaminsky, Tyler Johnson

Been top 10 in the NBA in both offense and defense so far.

Of course, the season isn't two weeks old yet.

But so far, that's the story.

Jevon Carter should be included. He was big against Utah

If officiating didn't come into play, they probably would be 5-1 with a win over Denver or Utah as well.

yup

surprise? come again Jeff?

I said plenty of times during summer that we would be a vastly improved team.

pg position was being played by g-league talent. no power forwards. no shooting, no defense being coached at all.

+ Rubio, Baynes, Kaminsky, Carter + Monty Williams (competent coach)= nba competitive team

Jevon Carter should be included. He was big against Utah
yes, he's been hounding opponents with his pesky defense.

Ayton demonstrated a very impressive improvement in his defense in the 1st game as well. Got 4 blocks.

And this is without steroid abusing Ayton.

That team is ****ing awful

I hope OP not serious. :facepalm

league worst defense theyre gonna get ran over. still lotto.

Suns defense is an absolute joke.

That's a 20 win team right there. :oldlol:

No longer a "free win" but I think they'll still be pretty bad.

keep that same energy come May https://i.postimg.cc/7Zz4q3G3/mjpls.gif

[Jay-B]

They will be 14-35 come February

[DoctorP]

Suns are hot right now
Great team to watch

[Proctor]

Would be happy to be wrong, but I still can't see this lasting...they're one injury away from giving up and going back to tanking it. I feel like they don't have much margin for error.

Not a surprise, their starting backourt are rich mans John Stockton, and rich mans Michael Jordan. They would win at least 6 championships in the weak 90s era.
