The Phoenix Suns are proving – fiiiiiiiiiinally – that there is light at the end of this tunnel of losing, and the two players who are at the heart of it is Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker. Booker has the scorer’s mentality, currently tied for the 3rd highest scoring averaging in franchise history, and Ayton has the skill-set to be the kind of inside player that defenses not only have to specifically scheme against to stop, yet still have no idea how to.
There is just one key ingredient missing to upping their already generally consistent play:
Ayton needs to play angry, and Booker needs to feed into it.
