The Phoenix Suns have worked diligently to set themselves up for success in the short-term, and the long-term. Those decisions from Brian Gregory and company now have them set up for genuine conversation regarding how they stack up with the rest of the Western Conference.

The class of the West continues to be the San Antonio Spurs (with the likes of Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle), and Oklahoma City (with Aday Mara and Bennett Stirtz).

After that, though, with a newcomer like the Utah Jazz (with Darryn Peterson and Ace Bailey), where do the Phoenix Suns rank in the mix?

Robert Horry also had some VERY intentional things to say about what to expect from the Suns in 2026-27.

Espo, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, and Aryton Temcio are BACK to speak through the Western Conference futures on a Friday episode of PHNX Suns.
