===== Season Outcomes ===== ==== 2021 ==== In 2021 the Suns were founded by [[osu]]. Phoenix was given the 15th overall selection in the inaugural selection draft, selecting PG [[Arthur Smith]] out of [[SMU]]. The Suns finished 31st in the League at 18-34, and 15th in the Western Conference over only the Utah Jazz. ==== 2023 ==== Following league-wide dormancy during the 2022 season, the Suns acquired one-time Milwaukee Bucks founder [[bundy]] to be their general manager in new owner [[Cultur3]]'s first major move after acquiring the franchise from the League. The Suns earned the 6th overall pick in the Draft via the lottery, trading down to the 9th overall selection with the Atlanta Hawks and then selecting PF [[Edward Furr]] out of TCU. In 2023 the Suns went 29-53 finishing last in the Mountain Division behind the Jazz, Nuggets, and Thunder. They did not qualify for the playoffs, finishing 12th in the Western Conference standings. Despite the season resulting in another missed playoffs appearance, it was seen as a major cultural improvement spearheaded by undrafted or acquired rookies, notably PG [[Reginald Lovelace]] (UDFA, Ohio State) and SG [[Viktor Raulerson]] (2nd Round, 80th overall by OKC out of Wake Forest). ==== 2024 ==== In 2024, the Suns earned the 2nd overall selection in the draft through the Lottery, selecting PG [[Adel Ali]] out of [[Algeria]]. ===== Rafters ===== The Rafters are empty now come back when the Heat win a title or a Heat legend retires ===== Individual Recognition ===== MPG = "Minutes Per Game"\\ PPG = "Points Per Game"\\ APG = "Assist Per Game"\\ RPG = "Rebounds Per Game"\\ BPG = "Blocks Per Game"\\ SPG = "Steals Per Game"\\ FPG = "Fouls Per Game"\\ TOPG = "Turnovers Per Game" === MVP === === MVP Finalist === === First Team All-NBA === === First Team All-Defense === === Second Team All-Rookie === === All-Star Starter === === All-Star Reserve === === Rising Star Starter === ^ Season ^ Player ^ Position ^ Games Played ^ MPG ^ PPG ^ RPG ^ APG ^ BPG ^ SPG ^ TOPG ^ FG% ^ 3P% ^ FT% ^ | 2023 | Reginald Lovelace | PG | 82 | 15.83 | 19.66 | 1.45 | 1.98 | 0.35 | 0.38 | 0.79 | 45.06% | 46.17% | 93.55% | === Rising Star Reserve === ^ Season ^ Player ^ Position ^ Games Played ^ MPG ^ PPG ^ RPG ^ APG ^ BPG ^ SPG ^ TOPG ^ FG% ^ 3P% ^ FT% ^ | 2023 | Viktor Raulerson | SG | 82 | 32.76 | 17.82 | 3.34 | 4.05 | 0.96 | 0.91 | 1.96 | 42.61% | 42.61% | 84.62% |
