The Ringer - The First Month NBA Power RankingsPhoenix Suns #7
Record: 11-6
Last Week: 4-0
Net Rating: +4.1
Stock Up: Devin Booker, Eric Gordon
The Suns are one of the hottest teams in the league and they’re mostly winning with just one star in the lineup. They haven’t had the toughest competition in their recent winning streak, but it’s encouraging that they’re winning the games they’re expected to win after a rough 4-6 start to the season. Head coach Frank Vogel seems to have finally figured out his main rotation, and that will make them dangerous once both their stars are healthy.

3. Phoenix Suns
11-6 record, plus-4.1 net rating
Preseason ranking: no. 4
Devin Booker is averaging 29.4 points to go along with 8.9 assists and only 3.1 turnovers, looking the part of one of the five best players in the league. Here’s an amazing stat that details his progress: This season, his assists are generating 24.2 points per game for his teammates, per NBA Advanced Stats. His previous career high was 17.2, which came during the 2019-20 season. But this season’s mark is double what he averaged during the Chris Paul era. It’s been a lot of fun to watch him fully realize his potential. Booker ran eight pick-and-rolls total as a Kentucky freshman, and now he’s nearly leading the NBA in pick-and-rolls per game. The Suns are rolling with him, even in games when Kevin Durant is absent. But the whole plan was to have three stars in Phoenix, not just one or two. Will Bradley Beal get healthy? Can KD stay on the floor? I’m not as worried about Phoenix’s depth as some people. It’s the questions about the stars’ durability that hold me back from ranking the Suns even higher.
