Where Are Suns in Latest NBA Power Rankings?

The Phoenix Suns are going through a difficult offseason filled with a lot of change.

The team said goodbye to head coach Mike Budenholzer, top scorer Kevin Durant and failed trade acquisition Bradley Beal, putting a lot of uncertainty into Phoenix's future. Bleacher Report writer Andy Bailey conducted a recent power rankings of all 30 teams and placed the Suns at No. 24.

"Four short years ago, Devin Booker was in the NBA Finals with a Phoenix Suns squad that included Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, Cameron Johnson and Mikal Bridges," Bailey wrote.

"Those four and every single other member of the 2020-21 team is now gone, and Booker is tasked with leading the hodgepodge roster left in the wake of a series of unfortunate moves that saw both KD and Beal come and go.

"Individually, Booker figures to have another strong campaign. Mark Williams will give him good rim-running and defensive anchoring when healthy (he's averaged around 35 games per season for his career). And Jalen Green will have a handful of show-stopping scoring performances.

"But there isn't enough here to seriously challenge in the West. There might not even be enough to make the play-in tournament. So, Suns fans could more or less be forced to wait the next half-decade while the waived-and-stretched portion of Beal's contract is still on the books for about $20 million per year."
