What if NBA2K was able to actually put together the all-time best Suns team for their 2K18 video game set to be released in September.

For the sake of argument, not only would Charles Barkley be on the roster, but the selection process actually started with the best players in franchise history, and the roster was more accurately put together. If this all came together, what might it look like?

For starters, several players that are on the 2K roster would not be there. Sorry Cedric Ceballos, Goran Dragic, Leandro Barbosa and one more surprise name. While you were all great for the team at times during your Suns careers, your position on this list is not what fans, and gamers alike, expected to see.

Who knows why 2K came up with their particular list and who knows if they reached out to several players who each politely declined. The problem is that for those of us who play the NBA2K series of games and want as authentic an experience as possible, there are a few names that should absolutely be a part of this roster, who this year are not.

This is where the Valley of the Suns comes in. We have a list for your enjoyment that we believe is the true all-time Suns team. From top to bottom, we have fitted this roster with the best players (presumably at their peak of their talents in Phoenix) that had the guys at 2K put together, would have been an extremely difficult team to beat in online game play.
