FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) – The Phoenix Suns emerged as one of the NBA’s biggest surprises a season ago, winning 48 games with a fast, high-energy style that often featured two dynamic point guards on the floor at the same time.
After five days of training camp at 7,000 feet, the Suns believe they are getting in condition to play even faster in the coming season.
Coach Jeff Hornacek says that with the addition of point guard Isaiah Thomas, the Suns can ease the minutes of starters Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe.
The team also is looking for bigger contributions from second-year center Alex Len, and overall improvement everywhere else.
It’s all a far cry from a year ago, when the Suns were expected to be among the NBA’s worst teams.
