Heading into the 2015-16 season, the Phoenix Suns have a lot to look forward to, even from a simple entertainment perspective.

After a limited sample size last year, the world will get to see how Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight fit together in the backcourt. Tyson Chandler and his veteran leadership will be a key watching point. How Markieff Morris plays without his brother Marcus Morris is another story line to keep an eye on, and we haven’t even mentioned new bench additions like Mirza Teletovic or Sonny Weems.

But for such a young group, the consistent theme seems to be how the team’s core will develop this season as the Suns gun for the playoffs. At the forefront of that conversation is 21-year-old T.J. Warren, a scoring machine whose rookie season was better than the final numbers indicate.

As fans sit back and admire Warren’s NBA Summer League exploits and how naturally the game comes to him, it’s hard to avoid thinking about his potential for a breakout season in 2015-16.
