With a 37-15 record, the Suns have a solid hold on the 2nd seed in the West with just 20 games and 5 weeks remaining in the regular season. Believe it or not, in just 35 days the 2020-21 season will be over and the Suns will be preparing for their first playoff game since May 29, 2010.
Steve Nash and Amar’e Stoudemire were the Suns’ headliners in that game against Kobe Bryant’s Lakers and only three players (Goran Dragic, Robin Lopez and Jared Dudley) from both of those teams are still on NBA rosters today. Devin Booker was a 14-year old kid with only dreams of someday playing in the NBA. Deandre Ayton was a 6’5” 12 year old soccer player who also played the tuba in his school band in the Bahamas and had never played organized basketball before. Chris Paul is the only current Suns player who was actually in the NBA at that time.
