Your Top Ten Suns Predictions for the 2014-15 Season

[OE32]

1. IT3 will outscore at least one of Dragic or Bledsoe over the course of the season.
2. TJ will not get rotation minutes this year, but he will win one game for us with his stellar play.
3. We will not make a significant trade during the regular season.
4. We will have a better record than Houston and Portland.
5. We will win the season series with Memphis and San Antonio.
6. Goran will take a step back this season.
7. Kieff will take a step back this season.
8. Eric Bledsoe will be our best player.
9. The starting line-up will never really click this year, leading some of us to turn on Hornacek to an extent.
10. Gerald Green will outdo his performance last season, resulting in a Channing Frye situation this summer.

That was tough.

Marcus gets married and kicks his brother out of house!

C'mon! You just know the Morris twins will marry another pair of twins and all will live happily in one big house.

But where will Thomas Robinson live when we trade for him dude?

Easy. The guest house.

Mmmh, I guess they can afford one.

Or they might share a wife.

[INFORMER]

The suns will trade for eigther Thomas Robinson or Meyers Leonard.

Ewwww.

Don't you see the potential?

I do. Robinson at least has shown the ability to be a very effective rebounder. Bu this problem is similar the Morris Twins; he just isn't big enough for the 4 spot. In Thomas's case, it hurt his ability to be effective in the paint on the offensive end and limits him as a scorer/finisher. I thought he might have the athleticism to make up for his lack of size, but so far that hasn't been the case.

I think Leonard still has untapped potential. He has struggled to develop in Portland and may just need a change of scenery. I'm not crazy about them having him shoot 3s.

#6 and #7 seem to compete with #4. I can't see us making the playoffs if both Goran and Kieff regress. I do think Goran's stats will take a hit, but only because we won't need him to shoulder the same load as last year. If Kieff regresses, we're in big trouble.

Good point. I don't disagree. But maybe everything conflicts with #3!

Agree with your analysis. I like Robinson as an energy guy off the bench. Leonard showed flashes in his rookie season and suffered robin Lopez acquisition. Portland is pretty deep at PF and C and those guys are buried on the bench right now.

I gave up making predictions after last year. I figured we'd be horrible and contending for Wiggins in the draft.

[JCSunsfan]

Hmm.

1. 45 wins
2. Battle for 8th seed will go down to the last game.
3. Will lose the season series with Minnesota.
4. Isaiah Thomas will become the runaway fan favorite.
5. Talk about trading a pg will persist all year.
6. Len will eventually start over Plumlee
7. Plumlee will regress.
8. The twins will regress.
9. TJ will get minimal minutes and we will all hate it.
10. Suns lose out on the Lakers pick (ends up 1-5).

pretty safe list I think.

Agreed.

Would LOVE to see #6.

[Atreides]

I'm thinking about something like this:
1. Suns win 48-50 games and take 7 seed.
2. Goran Dragic will still be the heart and soul of this team(most important player).
3. Eric Bledsoe will flourish to 20/6/6 player.
4. Isaiah will be shockingly clutch coming off the bench.
5. TJ Warren will play more than we think(20 mpg) and be effective as hell
6. Markieff will take the role of Channing, and camp at the perimeter most of the time.
7. The Shavlik will be The Shavlik
8. Alex Len will improve his midrange game to the level of Nik Vucevic or Marcinnnn
9. Gerald Green will NOT be traded during the season and then will sign extension.
10. Suns trade Ennis for Jarnell Stokes after struggling with inferior defense around december

It's crazy i know

what he said. welcome! of those things i'd love to see 8 happen. i would really like to see len do well.

[SDC]

if The Len plays OK as backup, the suns are a playoff team.

[SDC]

disagree with infy. the suns will have a tougher time vs memphis than noahlins. (assuming gasol, randolph, davis and asik are all healthy). suns will split the series with NOH.
