Center of the Sun: Better roster construction should put the Suns back on the right path
Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY Sports How many win would signal acceptable progress this season? The Fantable gives their opinions on this and other questions.

Top candidates for “he just needs minutes!” from Suns fans next season
Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports Are Jalen Lecque and Cheick Diallo the next recipients for irrational love from the fans? In recent years, the Phoenix Suns have gifted minutes to so many under-developed prospects that fans had no one left to give the “all he needs is minutes to become a star” crown.

They need that opportunity to come in a supportive, already-successful environment that minimizes their weaknesses while allowing them to showcase their...

Now, with all the changes made to the coaching staff and roster, Ayton is set up to have a tremendous sophomore season. Last season the Suns played most of the season without a high quality...
