The Suns had another sub-par season, but that's ok because they're in the rebuilding stage. Devin Booker, T.J. Warren, and rookies Marquese Chriss and Tyler Ulis showed good things throughout the season. Dragan Bender also showed flashes of what he can bring, but is being brought along slowly. Eric Bledsoe perhaps had his best year as a Sun and was nearly an all star, we'll see if he makes it through next season still a Sun, but either way he's still young and is a good player. The suns may have gotten the steal of the draft in Josh Jackson, he's going to bring toughness and play-making at the SF spot. They also selected Davon Reed at the 32nd pick which was earlier than expected, but he'll add to their outside shooting. And lastly at the 54th pick they selected Alec Peters, he was a scoring machine in college, but slid a bit due to a foot injury he suffered later in the year. Overall Phoenix is embracing the rebuild and has added some good young pieces for the future.
