Key player for the Phoenix Suns
Chris-Paul He is still one of the best point guards in the world at 37 and Deandre Ayton stands out among the pivots, as well Michael Bridges He is one of the best rated versatile forwards in the league. But it’s hard to imagine a great Phoenix Suns season without a Devin Booker exceptional.
The escort close to 26 is scoring heart of the Suns, as he taught on average 26.1 points per game over the last five seasons shooting 46.9% from the field, 35.8% on 3-pointers (up from 38.3% last season) and 88.2% on free throws.
After his first NBA campaign (picked in the top quintet and fourth in the 2021-2022 MVP voting), Booker will face a campaign in which he will be expected to see if he can raise his level another step to enter the conversation to be the best NBA guard, along with his contract $224 million over four years you just signed.
In terms of scoring ability, you can’t ask for more from Booker than to stay consistent with his 3-pointers like he did last season (28-65 from the perimeter in the playoffs), but he can he’s growing as a passer and more than anything he’s developing on the defensive side. To accomplish this with some winning Suns, Booker might be a real MVP candidate.
The story ahead for the Phoenix Suns in the 2022-2023 season
Three years ago, Phoenix Sans he was practically the laughing stock of the NBA even though he already had it Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges. In 2020 he clicked “the bubble” in Orlando and from there, with the addition of Chris Paul, his landscape changed completely. In 2021 they were unexpected finalists and in 2022 they dominated the Regular Phase with a record of 64-18.
However, the playoffs are sadly over for Phoenix again: in 2021 left the lead 2-0 in the Finals and in 2022 The same thing happened with the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals.
Finally, despite the blows, Phoenix doubled its bet for this campaign: Matched the Indiana Pacers’ $133 million offer to Deandre Ayton, tried to get Kevin Durant, and ended up bolstering his second unit, where for example will again rely on Dario Saric after one year and three months.
In the midst of chaos over the sanctioning of the championship to the majority owner Robert Sarver, who is now accepting offers to sell the franchise, the Suns know they are no longer emerging as a surprise, but are among the NBA’s elite and must take ownership of their goals. Unless something unusual happens, they will be in the Playoffs: there they will have to show that they are second to none in the Western Conference.
With Chris-Paul who is under contract for two more seasons but will finish this season at age 38, the championship run for these Suns might not last much longer.
