The Phoenix Suns have a real shot at capturing their first title.
Some believe the apex of this core has already been realized. Others argue that Kevin Durant will begin his natural decline soon. Some even believe that Mike Budenholzer was a lateral move from Frank Vogel - without accounting for cultural fit.bucked the trend to an extent - as he ranked the Suns as the second-most likely franchise to win an elusive first title this season - and here is his expansive rationale.
"You can quibble about this team's injury risks and overall depth, but you have to acknowledge how high its ceiling sits. The Suns had 16 different three-player combinations log at least 400 minutes together last season; all of them outscored the opposition by better than five points per 100 possessions.
They also found a way to reshape the roster in a subtle, yet uniquely consequential way. Coach Budenholzer is also the ideal architect of the roster that was put together this summer - there could be upward of five players on the roster that are threats to spend a full season at 40% or better from three-point range.
