Ryan Snellings: OVER. A healthy Eric Bledsoe plus Devin Booker and Brandon Knight make for a deep backcourt. Dragan Bender will be interesting as well. I don’t expect a lot more, but 30 wins isn’t unreasonable.

Ian Pierno: UNDER. If last year’s Timberwolves were only able to reach 29 wins in the west, I don’t think this Suns team can reach 27.

Parker Fleming: OVER. I’ll take over, but not by much. Dragon Bender and Marquese Chriss is an interesting tandem, but is it a 4-5 combo or a 3-4 combo? They have enough young pieces where their core is set. The Suns may not be a major player right now, but soon Devin Booker will be hotline-blinging all over the NBA.

Taylor Buckley: OVER. With the amount of talent the Suns have acquired–Booker, Bledsoe, Chriss and Bender–I think they have a legit shot at getting close to 30 wins this year.

Ryan Schmitz: UNDER. I like this team a lot with the pieces it got this past offseason, especially Chriss and Bender, but the team is still dysfunctional. The two point guard lineup still hasn’t proven to work. With Booker and Warren there as well, they should be over next year, but this year just seems like it will be a learning curve year.

Jacob Collins: UNDER. Horocious (Horrible+Atrocious). That’s what the Suns may be this year. Although, they have definite NBA League Pass potential.
