Current Roster

The Suns’ roster now looks as good as it has in a few years. A quality guard in Eric Bledsoe gives the Suns stability, if he’s able to stay healthy. With a young star in Devin Booker, the team has a focus point to build around. T.J. Warren and Alex Len can also be points of focus as well, considering they’ve only continued to progress since being drafted. Where everyone else falls is a mystery.

Currently, the Suns’ roster looks like so:

As you can tell, there’s a lot of names, but not a lot of true talent. This roster is not filled with players who will win you a championship. Some maybe. There does need to be some changes, though, if the Suns want this rebuilding stage to end sooner rather than quicker.
