The grand dance that is March Madness represents the only thing capable of making NBA basketball feel like an afterthought—even if for just for a few weeks. Phoenix Suns fans are no exception to this concept.
Even with their team enjoying its best season in franchise history, how can anyone calling themself a hoops fan resist the urge to stand up and cheer for a mid-major team from North Dakota as it goes toe-to-toe with a blue blood program?
This tournament peels everyone away from their jobs, house chores, even the cool teachers in elementary schools put up on the projector to watch during class. It also has a home grown team, the Arizona Wildcats, participating as a number one seed. naturally owning high odds to win the whole thing.
Sounds familiar, right?
As a fun appetizer of postseason basketball to chow down on prior to the NBA Playoffs, which now sit less than a month away, Suns fans should enjoy this early spring extravaganza. It promises to feature countless future stars of the game, and although Phoenix does not own a draft pick this coming summer, one can still enjoy watching these guys shine and imagine how they might fit beside the likes of Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and all the other lethal weapons on this team.
Playing a bit of fantasy basketball between the NBA and the NCAA, these three guys currently ripping up everyone’s brackets would fill out a Suns uniform better than anyone else.
