We're nearly a week away from NBA preseason action beginning, and that means fantasy basketball season is here. 

The Phoenix Suns' collection of stars in Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are sure to put up points along the 82-game regular season. 

But where do they rank in the realm of fantasy basketball players? 

Rotowire recently pieced together their Top 150, and to no surprise, names such as Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic occupy the top three. 

No. 9: Kevin Durant

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is expected to be the top Suns fantasy basketball contributor for 2023-24. 

"Durant is a top-five fantasy player when healthy, but the soon-to-be-35-year-old has averaged only 45 games played over the last three seasons."

No. 19: Devin Booker

Phoenix Suns SG Devin Booker is considered to be a darkhorse MVP candidate. 

The Suns added a third high-usage star in Bradley Beal, but Booker’s numbers could more closely resemble his 2019-20 production when he averaged 6.5 APG and finished as a clear top-20 fantasy asset.

No. 55: Bradley Beal

How will Bradley Beal fit with the Phoenix Suns? 

"Beal’s fantasy value tumbled the last two seasons, and teaming up with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in Phoenix won’t help his usage rate. But his floor is only so low, and he should lead the Suns in points or assists on plenty of nights."

No. 67: Deandre Ayton

"Should still be a nightly 20-and-10 threat, but those nights may be rarer with Bradley Beal in town. Ayton’s lack of defensive stats caps his upside as well."

Former Suns Rankings

  • No. 17 Mikal Bridges: "No one has played in more regular-season games than Bridges over the last five seasons. After arriving in Brooklyn last season, Bridges posted 26.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 2.9 APG and 2.6 3PM/G with a 47/38/88 shooting line."
  • No. 71 Cameron Johnson: "Projects to be in the highest-usage role of his career in 2023-24. Johnson averaged 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals after being dealt to Brooklyn."
  • No. 86 Chris Paul: "The 38-year-old showed more signs of decline last year, but he’s still one of the game’s best passers and mid-range shooters. Expecting 2,000 minutes out of the veteran may be asking too much, and he could even come off the bench in Golden State."
