Overview:
The 2014-15 season came with high expectations for the Phoenix Suns, a young team on the rise that had won 48 games the year prior. But with the trade deadline departures of Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas and three other players, the Suns lost one-third of their roster and fell apart soon after.
Still, the season was not a complete waste. Young players who needed more minutes finally got them, the core is intact moving forward and Phoenix will look to regroup in the offseason. But in order to put the season in context, it’s time to take a look back on 2014-15 and examine how everyone performed and how they fit in for the long-term.
Today, we continue our daily 2014-15 Phoenix Suns Player Grades with Brandon Knight, the biggest question mark heading into the offseason for the Suns.
Though Knight mostly struggled during his time with the Suns, was that due to a small sample size and an unavoidable adjustment period, or should the front office be concerned about how he pairs with Eric Bledsoe in the backcourt? Just how much did that ankle injury deprive us of seeing? And how should fans feel when the Suns re-sign him to a big contract this summer?
In order to find some answers, here’s a look back on his limited time with the Suns during the 2014-15 season.
