Phoenix Suns fans are trained to live with one particular disposition in regards to their beloved favorite franchise: an expectation to be disappointed.
Throughout history, whenever the Suns have gotten close; whenever they have had the star-caliber talent; whenever they have struck gold in the draft; there has always been that one lasting emotion that fans just can’t shake, that somehow, some way, fans will be disappointed.
And yet, the franchise and it’s fanbase are in uncharted territory at this point: never in history have the Suns drafted a player quite like Devin Booker, never have they had a potentially dominant, franchise big man, never have they drafted that big man, and never have they had the first overall pick.
