15) Phoenix Suns

Average ranking: 14.7, High: 14, Low: 15, Ryan Aston: 15

There’s a lot to like about the young talent that’s currently brewing in the Valley of the Sun. Devin Booker may not be an ultra-efficient player, but he’s shown some serious scoring chops two years into his pro career.

Meanwhile, No. 4 overall pick Josh Jackson could follow in his footsteps and the big-man tandem of Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender may eventually become one of the better frontcourt duos in the Association.

It’s going to take some time and next season will likely be tough sledding once again, but former Jazzman Earl Watson is the man for the job.
