Suns, Tyus Jones agree to $3.3 million contract

Top 6 Phoenix Suns’ single-season scoring records in points per game

Despite never winning an NBA Championship – but coming damn close on several occasions – the Phoenix Suns have had some incredible players suit up for the franchise. Donning that iconic purple jersey, plenty of perennial All-Stars from Steve Nash to Charles Barkley have called The Valley home.

These days it is Kevin Durant and Devin Booker who are trying to lead the Suns to the promised land, and they’ve got plenty of help to try and get them there. Alongside a new head coach in Mike Budenholzer, the Suns will once again be in pursuit of a championship behind the elite scoring of two of the best in the game today.

But who are the top six single-season scorers in franchise history?
Six might be an odd number to land on – although you’re quickly going to find out why that is – but what is perhaps most surprising is that there’s no room for Charles Barkley on this list. He does crack the top 10 for his 26.6 points in 1992-93 – the same campaign he also took home the MVP trophy – but that is only good enough for ninth here.

6-3. Devin Booker
It is frankly incredible that a player only entering his 10th in the league owns four of the top six positions, and five of the top 10. It can be hard sometimes to overstate just how good Booker has been for the Suns, but these numbers might do the best job of all in highlighting just how important he has been to Phoenix.
