4. Phoenix Suns

The Suns should be looking at their roster and knowing that they are destined to be terrible. They are in a tough Western Conference, and any claim they have to future success seems to be in the arms of 20-year-old Devin Booker. With that said, this team should be selling hard to build around the young shooter, and it will be fun to see how they go about this.

To start, Tyson Chandler will certainly be on the block. Chandler was acquired to try to attract LaMarcus Aldridge in a win-now move. This team is not winning now and should look at young options to replace Chandler. They also have Brandin Knight and Eric Bledsoe, and almost certainly will not keep both this season. These are two or three pieces worth watching that could very easily be traded this year.

When those three veteran names go, it leaves all of the playing time for the youth movement. It creates all of the shots and minutes for this team to see just how high the ceiling of Booker is. It also opens spots for rookie Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss. Both players are under the age of 20, but both come into the league with some of the highest upsides of any rookies in the league.

Both are extremely raw, and the only way to see what they have is to give them minutes. Alex Len and T.J. Warren represent other names in their 20s that can add to the core of the team. By tanking in 2016, it opens up a future filled with potential star power, and to watch that star power emerge this season could be fun.
