For all of the question marks in Arizona this summer, there's no questioning the amount of talent on the Phoenix Suns roster. It simply hasn't quite come together for a number of reasons.
Now, Brandon Knight, Tyson Chandler, Markieff Morris and Eric Bledsoe are demonstrating just how much skill there is in Phoenix, as the four made Sports Illustrated's list of the top 100 players in the NBA.
Knight came in at No. 79, among the likes of DeMarre Carroll and George Hill. Morris joins Chandler Parsons and Bradley Beal in the low-60s at No. 64 due to his well-rounded game on both ends of the floor.
A pretty big leap follows for Phoenix, as Chandler rates No. 36, just ahead of Brook Lopez and Derrick Favors. It might be a bit optimistic for the aging big man, but the Suns' training staff and ability to keep players healthy through their twilight years is well-known throughout the league.
Finally, Bledsoe wraps up the rankings for Phoenix at No. 33, one spot ahead of fellow star guard Kyle Lowry.
The rankings are supposed to be something of a look forward to next season, which should give Suns fans reason to get excited. Of course, Phoenix could be down to three top-100 players if the team abides by Morris' demands for a trade. And that wouldn't necessarily be the best.
