The return of Devin Booker on Wednesday night for the Phoenix Suns was met with thunderous applause from the Phoenix faithful at the Footprint Center. Kevin Durant might be a top 15 player of all time, but Devin Booker is the “Chosen Sun”. His connectivity to the fanbase coupled with his dedication to the organization have made him so. He was introduced last and the wave of appreciation rattled the building.
His return and impact were immediately felt in the Suns’ win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The pace of play, the movement on offense, the spacing; the Suns looked the Suns we envisioned this past off-season.
