Concerns Coming into the Season…
The concerns coming into the season were seeming to pop up every other day in August.
First you had the huge news come out about the owner Robert Sarver, which took over press conferences for about a three week period.
Then the speculation which became true about Jae Crowder holding out for a trade had skeptics saying the Suns were done.
Add on top of that the Deandre Ayton and Monty Williams supposedly having beef going back to last seasons playoffs. The preseason was no walk in the park for this Suns organization.
However through all of the concern, like the name of the city they play in, the Suns rose like a Phoenix through the controversy.
Leaders such as Chris Paul and Devin Booker alongside coach Monty Williams were all business coming into the season. Young players like Cam Johnson, Jock Landale, and Bismack Biyombo have followed and stepped up tremendously thus far.
For this team, the sky is the limit, Christopher Wallace said that.
