They are back with Bradley Beal but got swept by the T'wolves.

With Tyus Jones, they can focus more on scoring the rock instead having to run set plays as well. It should make the Suns a tier better. I can't gauge the western conference this year due to T-Wolves having a major roster change, Denver looking sluggish, LA/GSW a year older; it's possible that they could do come out of the west. I don't know how big Beal's ego is, but if he were to come off the bench, he would be killing second units and easily average 20-25 points on a good efficiency.

The Suns would sound more formidable if Nurkic/Plumlee can pick up their play or have an average center.

Yea I was thinking the same thing.

One thing I do like about this year's Suns is that they are moving the ball with a purpose. Besides Nurkic, everyone who catches the ball makes a move immediately. Once they beat their initial defender, they kick to search a better shot. Their rotational players are all shooting around 40% from deep. This team reminds me of the their roster that made the finals a couple years back, plus elite shot making abilities (Beal, a more seasoned Booker & Durant).

However, Durant and Nurkic (again lmao) have been turning the ball over a bit too much; if they can take care of the ball a bit better, the Suns, along with the Thunder, would be the favorite coming out of the West.
