Booker is back, everybody. That changes a ton for the Suns, who have struggled to score effectively and consistently without their star. Even though Phoenix had the No. 2 defensive rating over the past three games sans Booker, they ranked 27th in offensive rating, scoring only 103 points per 100 possessions. If the Suns can strike a balance of keeping their competitive defense going while integrating Booker’s elite scoring back in, they could look like an average team over the final half of this season.
