The lineup with Walker Hill at its core indeed has great potential, yet Hill's injuries have once again dashed the Suns' hopes for this season.
After playing 15 games in the new season, Hill announced he would be out indefinitely due to an ankle injury.
Last season, Hill missed a large number of games due to ankle issues, leading to the team's poor performance.
Hill's fragile ankle has become the main barrier preventing him from further advancement.
Without Hill, the Suns have to rely on Antoine Walker and Anfernee Hardaway to carry the team.
Unfortunately, Anfernee Hardaway's body is equally fragile; after consecutive injuries, he has transformed from one of the league's most graceful and talented guards into a relatively average star, consistently contributing 15+5 per game.
This can be attributed to the excellent treatment by the Suns' medical team and Phoenix's dry and conducive recovery climate.
