Say it with me: the 2019-20 Phoenix Suns are just not that good.
They are not that deep.
They do not have the firepower necessary to keep up with some of the better teams in the league, nor to regularly beat the bottom-basement teams that they should walk into a game knowing that they will win.
They have Devin Booker, a legit, and true star, but no one else on the roster to both help him carry the load, or take pressure off of him.
The team is not that much fun to watch; Booker certainly does not look like he’s having fun; and the fear that the team is already stagnated and not going anywhere, as well as the fear that Booker might demand a trade sooner rather than later leaving Phoenix without a legitimate star, each weighs heavily on the mind’s of fans.
