Devin Booker
The Phoenix Suns won 45 games in 2025-26, qualifying for the NBA Playoffs by exceeding expectations and outperforming all outside expectations.
Suns’ Offseason Power Rankings Indicate National Disrespect
By many accounts, they’ve improved this offseason, but outside opinions do not reflect the profile of a team that believes it is building upon a 45-win campaign.
Despite the Suns finishing with the league’s 13th-best record last season, national analysts are placing them among the back half of the league in their respective power rankings.
Are they sleeping on Phoenix? Or is there any merit to last season being an aberration? What can be projected about this team this far out from opening night of the regular season?
