#2 Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have a number of talented young players, although after making a strong start to the season, they have quickly faded to fall out of the Western Conference playoff spots.

Devin Booker is posting increasingly big numbers, while Kelly Oubre Jr. is showing plenty of promise - although it is growing increasingly clear that the Suns need to make a big trade in order to establish themselves as a contending team in the West.

At 24, Towns is already an established star and would serve as a perfect fit alongside his former Kentucky teammate Booker. DeAndre Ayton would need to be included in any deal, but Phoenix will struggle to lure a better player due to their poor pulling power as a free agent destination, and the duo of Booker and Towns should be enough to cement the Suns as a constant presence in the playoffs.
