For as little advertised as this open practice was for the Phoenix Suns outside of social media platforms, first off I want to say how impressive it was to see most of both lower-level baselines nearly filled up. Right away, you could tell the energy in the air from this season compared with last is different. Devin Booker extending for five more seasons and the team selecting Deandre Ayton at No. 1 have brought newfound life to the Suns’ fanbase.
Even though Saturday’s event was advertised as an open practice, I was surprised to find out it was an actual scrimmage split up by white and black practice jerseys.
