Almost exactly two years ago today, precocious 20-year old Devin Booker led a ragtag Phoenix Suns lineup that included four rookies against Boston’s league-leading defense and dropped 70 points in a 10-point loss that was not as close as the final score.
Now that Phoenix is two years further into their rebuild around Booker, the still-precocious 22 year old Booker... got to lead a ragtag Suns lineup that included not four but FIVE rookies against Utah’s league-leading defense and dropped 59 points in a (gulp) 33 point loss. Booker made 19 of 34 shots.
