The Phoenix Suns won’t be a title contender in 2018-19, but there are a lot of reasons why they’ll still be one of the most fun teams to watch.

While the most fun teams tend to be the ones that win the most, that’s not always the case. The Denver Nuggets haven’t made the playoffs in the past five seasons, but they’re regularly one of the most fun teams to watch in the league, thanks in large part to Nikola Jokic‘s passing. Conversely, the Houston Rockets‘ surgical iso-ball attack is not always the most fun to watch, even if it’s incredibly effective.

This year, the Phoenix Suns could find themselves in a similar position to the Nuggets of years past: good enough that they keep games competitive, and fun to watch. Youth always makes teams more fun and exciting.

Heck, sometimes being young even makes teams fun because they make more mistakes. It may make you cringe, but at the end of the day it’s still exciting to see JaVale McGee blow a wide open dunk.

Here are the five most fun and exciting storylines to keep an eye on for the Phoenix Suns heading into the 2018-19 NBA season.
