|
| | | PHOENIX: LAST SEASON: 19-63, finished 15th in Western Conference.
COACH: Monty Williams (first season with Suns, sixth season overall, 173-221).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Ricky Rubio (12.7 ppg), G Devin Booker (26.6), F Kelly Oubre Jr. (15.2), F Dario Saric (10.6), C Deandre Ayton (16.3)
KEY LOSSES: F T.J. Warren, G/F Josh Jackson
KEY ADDITIONS: Rubio, Saric, G/F Cameron Johnson, F Frank Kaminsky III, F Cheick Diallo, G Ty Jerome
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The Suns are trying to build a winning team around the core of Ayton and Booker, who are both still young and put up big numbers last season. The 7-foot-1 Ayton averaged a double-double in his rookie season while shooting nearly 59 percent from the field. Booker averaged 26.6 points per game and nearly seven assists. Oubre was a pleasant surprise after joining the team midway through last season, scoring nearly 17 points per game after the trade and playing good defense. Rubio gives the Suns an experienced point guard who should help Ayton, Booker and Oubre get better scoring chances. Rubio's presence also allows Booker to play off the ball and focus on scoring.
OUTLOOK: The Suns should be much better than the 19-win version of a year ago. Rubio's presence along with the input first-year coach Monty Williams should give the starting lineup some discipline and structure. Phoenix's ceiling depends on the development of Ayton and Booker. If the two can develop into All-Star caliber players than there might be something brewing in the desert. The major problem is the Western Conference is still stacked with good teams, so a move into the playoffs feels a little far-fetched this season. | | ATLANTA: LAST SEASON: 29-53, missed playoffs.
COACH: Lloyd Pierce (second season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Trae Young (19.1 ppg, 8.1 apg), G Kevin Huerter (9.7 ppg), F De'Andre Hunter (No. 5 overall pick), F John Collins (19.5 ppg, 9.8 rpg), C Damian Jones (5.4 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: C Dewayne Dedmon, G Kent Bazemore, F Omari Spellman
KEY ADDITIONS: Hunter, Jones, F Cam Reddish, F Jabari Parker, G Evan Turner, G Allen Crabbe, F Chandler Parsons, C Bruno Fernando.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Young and Collins are two of the NBA's top young players, while Huerter shows plenty of promise, so the key to this season will be how well they mesh with two more first-round picks, Hunter and No. 10 choice Reddish. Hunter figures to start right away, while Reddish will get plenty of playing time off the bench. Also keep an eye on Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in 2014 by the Milwaukee Bucks. While he has yet to develop into the star everyone expected, Parker is still just 24 years old and has averaged 15.1 points per game over his five-year career. The Hawks, who are focused on player development, hope they can flush out Parker's game. Finally, the Hawks will send out 42-year-old Vince Carter for his record 22nd ' and final ' season in the NBA. Carter showed last season he's still got game, but he won't get as many minutes in his last hurrah as he serves more of a coach-mentor role to all the young players.
OUTLOOK: The Hawks showed promise in Pierce's first season but this franchise is still in the midst of a major rebuilding job. Atlanta might have an outside shot at slipping into the playoffs, but would probably be better off getting another crack at the draft lottery. General manager Travis Schlenk has been acquiring over-priced players that other teams wanted to get off the books. Parsons ($25.1 million), Turner ($18.6 million) and Crabbe ($18.5 million) are in the final year of their contracts, which means 2020 is the year to really start paying attention to the Hawks. |
| | Surging Suns look to break spell in Atlanta
The Phoenix Suns will carry a two-game winning streak into the opener of their three-game East Coast road trip on Tuesday against the struggling Atlanta Hawks. The Suns have won five of their last eight games and have climbed into the playoff picture in the Western Conference, just 1.5 games out of the No. 8 slot. Phoenix beat Atlanta 128-112 when the clubs met in Phoenix on Nov. 14, but the Hawks have won the last five meetings in Atlanta. Phoenix, fresh from Sunday's 100-92 win over the Charlotte Hornets, has seen an improvement in its defense. Over the last two games the Suns have allowed 94 and 92 points, the first time they've won consecutive games while allowing 94 or fewer since 2015. Atlanta lost its fourth straight on Sunday, falling 108-86 at Brooklyn. The Hawks had to play without leading scorer Trae Young, who was out with a left hamstring injury. It's the third time this season Atlanta has lost at least four in a row. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a matchup problem for the Hawks. He scored a season-high 30 points in the first meeting with Atlanta. On Sunday he became only the fourth player in the NBA this season to have 25 points, 15 rebounds (a career high), three steals and two blocks. Oubre has scored 17-plus in eight straight games. "Kelly is a guy who plays 40 minutes and you look at him and he doesn't look tired at all," Phoenix coach Monty Williams told reporters. "We don't run a ton of plays for him and yet he ends up with 25 points because he just plays hard and he's learning to play with this group." Devin Booker, the team's leading scorer, has played well against the Hawks, too. He tallied 27 points and seven assists against the Hawks in the first meeting. Booker averages a team-leading 25.8 points along with 6.5 assists, and is shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 91.4 percent from the line. Booker is coming off a subpar game against Charlotte, when he went 3-for-12 from the floor for 12 points. Phoenix center Deandre Ayton avoided a scare against the Hornets when he twisted his left ankle after an awkward landing following a foiled lob pass. But Ayton stayed in the game and showed no ill effects. Atlanta has had trouble competing without Young in the lineup. The point guard leads the team in scoring (28.9 points) and assists (8.4) and has two triple-doubles this season. Young received medical treatment in when the team practiced in Washington on Saturday, but was too sore to play. He could Tuesday. The Hawks are 1-3 without Young. Without Young against the Nets, the Hawks shot only 33 percent from the field and just 25 percent on 12-for-48 shooting on 3-pointers. The bright spot was rookie Cam Reddish, who scored 20 points for only his second double-digit effort in the last 10 games. "I feel like we struggled to a shoot a little bit early in the game," Reddish said. "That obviously hurt. The energy and effort wasn't where it should have been to start, but I think we just had a bad shooting night from the very beginning." --Field Level Media |
