The Suns are in the elite eight of the In-Season Tournament. It sounds and looks good if nothing else.

Hmm. I would take the Suns if I wasn't worried about KD's injury - but I am.
I'm not really worrying about it - just saying the injury concern is affecting me making a bet or not.I'm tired of worrying. I'm going to try and enjoy the present.
Who knows what the Finals will look like.

I'll admit, it's almost uncomfortable how much love Booker's been getting over the last few days. Here's another example: https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/11/29/23980278/devin-booker-passing-assists-phoenix-suns
We use to do this drill in high school 55 years ago.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
Yeah the 3 man weave (and variations) has been around forever.We use to do this drill in high school 55 years ago.![]()
I wish we did it on a 50 ft long court like this one. Would have saved me a whole lot of sweat.We use to do this drill in high school 55 years ago.![]()
Yeah but I'll take the weave in a full sized gym over running lines any time. Especially in a hot gym.I wish we did it on a 50 ft long court like this one. Would have saved me a whole lot of sweat.
Devin Booker is just a full-time point guard now. Even when Brad comes back Book will be the primary ball handler in any critical situation. He is 3 years younger than Nash when he returned. He could be the greatest Sun twice, once as a shooting guard and again as a point guard.

I’d add in Haliburton to that true PG list. He did something only Jordan and Bron did by averaging 25 and 10 assists in a month while shooting 50% from the field and 40% from 3.I think there are less than 5 full time PG's in the league right now. That is something going by the wayside. It's all combo guards now. Shai is a combo guard, Mitchell, Harden, Maxey, D'Lo, Steph, Jamal Murrary, CJ McCollum, Cade, Luka, even Kyrie.
I'd say Trae Young, Mike Conley, LaMelo Ball, and maybe Lillard are the last of the real PG's. Even Lillard is more of a combo guard, better scorer than playmaker.
There's a good reason the league doesn't designate specific positions for All-Star or All-NBA awards anymore. There's guards, forwards, and centers. Centers are making a comeback, slowly. It's better than it was a few years ago.

So even though he’s scoring a lot, he still operates and looks for the assist first.
