Phoenix Suns

 You had a good post but killed it with your last sentence. Lets start with All-star candidates which Im not even sure they will make it because of the loaded west, but they are not even close to being in the discussion for MVP.

 Bledsoe and Dragic could be MIP contenders but not MVP and Phoenix are my favourite team as you may know.

It has been a real team effort by the whole franchise so far this season and the roster has been very settled with 8 players being the main rotation and scoring between 18 and 9 ppg. Also our top 5 pick Alex Len has only plaayed 4 games and the previous years’ draft pick Kendall Marshall was traded away.

It’s good to see Channing Frye back and playing well after his health issues, Miles Plumlee has been a total surprise for if he had shown anything like this form with the Pacers they would not have given him away.

I’m happy to enjoy the current run and if we do fall back below .500 across the season so be it as at worse it pushes us up a loaded draft board. After years of trading picks away we are currently looking at 3 first round picks next year and perhaps a 4th if the T-wolves improve a lot.

I doubt we could package them all to move right up if we do stay further down the lottery but it gives us loads of draft options and could maybe do a deal to move up with a couple of picks depending on what other teams do. Even if we do have the 4 first rounders come draft day, in a deeper draft we could get a shot at guys who would be top 10 talent in other years.

 I think the Morris Twins coming off the bench have been HUGE for them. Either of them have a shout for the 6th man. The value of having a second unit keeping up with scoring when the first unit rests is still sometimes underestimated.

 Most teams need a scoring option off the bench and Phoenix with the Morris Twin Towers have a double big man scoring threat from the bench which gives them a useful advantage over other teams especially as they don’t have a volume scorer who can drop 20ppg night in night out.

Also the Phoenix frontcourt rotation are sharing minutes out fairly evenly and in Marcus Morris and Channing Frye they have two bigs who have hit nearly 100 3 pointers combined so far this season which no other team can match. Throw in Gerald Green who is in the top 10 for 3 pointers this season and you can see that Phoenix have a lot of good bench scoring options so a very valid point by Ara Minats.
