Lately, we have heard and had some talk about the change from Spalding to Wilson basketballs this season for NBA players.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker does not want to make excuses, but did acknowledge that the new Wilson balls feel ‘different’ in the hand, even from Wilson ball to Wilson ball, game to game, and will need some time to get used to it. He also acknowledged that the players are all struggling to adjust, and even held at least one players-union meeting on the topic in recent days.
Yesterday, our own Rod Argent showed you how the Suns shooting is down this year and speculated that the ball might be part of the problem.
