Not many will think of what the Suns pulled off as going all-in around their 21-year-old guard, but that’s exactly what happened on draft night when they added Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and even Elie Okobo into the mix.
Last season, with little to no help around him on a consistent basis, Booker still averaged 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists while also seeing a slight jump in all-around offensive efficiency.
And after Thursday where they not only secured Booker’s vital 1-2, inside-out combo with Ayton but also added in the necessary length and floor spacing needed for Booker to continue to rise towards the NBA’s elite at warp speed.
