Phoenix Suns: Encouraging Signs From The Bench

Seven games into the 2014-15 NBA season, the Phoenix Suns sit in the middle of the pack at 4-3.

But then Phoenix has also looked entirely vulnerable, getting blown out by the Utah Jazz and dropping a double overtime game at home against the Sacramento Kings.

The Suns are still clearly working to find their identity. Everyone knows Phoenix has the deepest backcourt in the league, but finding a little consistency will be key for a team looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 2010.

Tucker, Alex Len, Gerald Green and Isaiah Thomas have brought off the pine.
