My bad on Brea.

Hello ladies and gents. Long time no see. I missed the ability to vote on this pole, but I'm going to roll with 45 wins and a play in tournament birth.

Good to see you, Gene! How have you been? What's the latest?

In terms of your prediction, what makes you so rosey about the 2025-26 Suns? What do you especially like about the team that gives you a positive outlook? (I myself voted for a lower total because I think we have too many rookie/young pieces and too much positional overlap to be a playoff / play-in team right out of the gate, but still hoping for the best.)

The Suns should be better defensively this year. They have a player in Jalen Green that could penetrate and get to the basket and to the free throw line. They've got plenty of shooters. Like you, I am concerned about the young pieces and the fact that there's probably too many wings (one may get traded by the trading deadline). My last concern is do they have a low post presence ? Nick Richards is just okay there and we'll see what Mark Williams has to offer.

I'm excited for media day next week and training camp.
