One-sentence progress reports of all 14 Phoenix Suns on the roster

Starters

Jusuf Nurkic: Not many fans like the acquisition of Nurkic at first, but he's proven to be the perfect, selfless center the Suns need in their quest for a title.

Grayson Allen: This season's biggest surprise has been the improved game of Allen, who can be a trusted shooter even with a blindfold, leading the league in threes with 46 percent efficiency, making him the team's third option on more than one occasion.

Bradley Beal: After missing a significant amount of games at the start, Beal has blossomed as the team's third/fourth option, but he needs to be confidently healthy to be precisely effective.

Devin Booker: Booker has matured in his approach, which has made the Suns a sizeable threat this season, averaging 27.5 points and 6.8 assists while shooting 49.4 percent from the field.

Kevin Durant: Durant may be on the older side, but he scored 27.8 points effortlessly this season and will be a significant factor in their title hopes.
