The end of SunsRank is here and it’s full of ghosts from the end of the bench.
As we near the end of our journey here on SunsRank, the countdown is almost complete. After a week of carefully ranking the Phoenix Suns’ 2024-25 roster, there’s just one final log left to throw on the fire. Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 have finished.
Where do we stand? Why, I thought you’d never ask!
- Kevin Durant
- Devin Booker
- Bradley Beal
- Grayson Allen
- Ryan Dunn
- Royce O’Neale
- Collin Gillespie
- Nick Richards
- Tyus Jones
- Oso Ighodaro
- Bol Bol
- Mason Plumlee
- Monte Morris
- …
We’ve officially arrived at the final stop on this beautifully mediocre journey. Tier 4. Affectionately known as ‘The Fillers’. These are the guys hanging out at the end of the bench, waving towels, getting up extra shots after practice, and quietly hoping their NBA careers haven’t ghosted them just yet.
It’s not a glamorous collection of names. In fact, just knowing who these players are is a special kind of badge of honor. When you look back on this train wreck of a season, if you can remember these dudes were on the roster, you’re not just a fan. You’re a certified sicko.
But hey, that’s what makes this community special. We’re a collective of sickos. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
