The Phoenix Suns play host to the Sacramento Kings, at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Wednesday evening.

The Suns (0-0) gained some direction in the offseason by adding floor maestro Ricky Rubio to run the point. They also picked up Aron Baynes and Frank Kaminsky, giving them some a couple of diverse skill sets up front to back up Deandre Ayton. Kelly Oubre Jr. was a late-season acquisition last season and made an instant impact. He will surely add a lot to the team playing together from the jump. The Suns picked up Dario Saric in the offseason, giving them a fantastic option at power forward, as he can score and make plays with confidence. Tyler Johnson has settled into the sixth-man role for the Suns, giving them some scoring relief off the bench. Finally, the Suns have their two up-and-coming stars in Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker, who together have no limits to what they can help their team accomplish.

Meanwhile, the Kings (0-0) have been shaping their new core for a couple of years and are taking shape as a formidable foe for any opponent. With Buddy Hield, De'Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley III, the Kings have a young core that could be very dangerous. They also have Harrison Barnes, who is not the flashiest player, but can certainly get the job done as a solid small forward. The Kings starting center will be Dewayne Dedmon, who averaged 11 points, seven rebounds and one block per game last season with the Hawks. The Kings have a reliable sixth man with Bogdan Bogdanovic, who has shown that he can go off in scoring bursts and also facilitate the offense. They also added to their bench by picking up Cory Joseph and Trevor Ariza, two players that can bring knowledge and experience to their young group.
