GM survey leaves Suns lightly regarded in key league categories

A quick read on what changed — and what it means for the rotation.

What happened

In the league’s anonymous GM survey, Phoenix received no top-four votes for who will win the 2027 NBA Finals, and the Suns also came up empty in several team-category questions.

Jordan Ott drew votes for best offense and best defensive schemes, but he was not voted best head coach and also missed the manager/motivator and in-game adjustment categories.

LINEUP CONTEXT

This does not change Phoenix’s current rotation, but it shows the Suns still have to earn more respect as the season unfolds. Any lineup or role changes will be driven by on-court results, not the survey.
