After not getting much respect for a year or two there while the Suns franchise wallowed around him, Devin Booker has finally been collecting on what’s due since his All-Star bid and virtuoso performance in the Bubble.
Oh you thought this might be a column on Booker wanting out of Phoenix? No, he doesn’t want out of Phoenix. Silly rumor has been debunked in several ways — including by Book’s own brother — since Ryen Rusillo floated it on Bill Simmons podcast earlier this week. Rusillo said the league’s “worst kept secret” is that Booker wants out of Phoenix, but even he added the necessary context: if the Suns remain bad another year.
