The Phoenix Suns 2016–17 were led by Devin Booker’s emergence as their primary scorer, while Eric Bledsoe combined efficient scoring with strong playmaking from the backcourt. T.J. Warren provided reliable secondary offence, and Marquese Chriss and Tyson Chandler contributed rebounding and interior presence. Phoenix played at an up-tempo pace and generated balanced scoring, but inconsistent defence, rebounding and overall efficiency prevented sustained success.
