With that being said, I must admit I am very impressed with the Suns. They have played a lot of close games but won most of them. We will see if that evens out, but they look like a top 4 seed right now.
It is way early. Last year we had posts here that the season was finished and there was no hope. I was not at that stage but I didn’t envision a long run until late in the season. Right now though, they don’t look like a top 4 team. Sort of worrying that they aren’t getting their toes wet to start the season but are relying on big Luka and Kyrie minutes in most games.
The Suns main improvement is they have a very good coach now in Bud, and they have a capable PG in Jones to handle the ball handling and facilitation to take some of those responsibilities away from KD, Beal and Book. Vogel was a good coach, but Bud has put in a better scheme with more ball movement and quick passing.
