The Phoenix Suns were one of the teams in the league that made the biggest splash this past offseason. The team that already had Devin Booker and Kevin Durant went on to get another All-Star guard in Bradley Beal. However, the Suns haven’t been living up to the hype that surrounded them.
The Phoenix Suns are struggling, given the team’s roster and the talent they possess. But their three-time All-Star guard Devin Booker isn’t fazed.
Devin Booker has Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal to thank
On paper, the Phoenix Suns are easily one of the best teams in the Western Conference, if not the league. But given their current 12-10 record, the Suns rank at the seventh spot in the West.

It sure is something to worry about, but Suns’ All-Star guard Devin Booker does not seem to be fazed. And the reason behind it is the two other all-Stars he has on his team, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
While talking to the media, Booker said, “I look at the bench and see Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant sitting there, getting ready.”

The Phoenix Suns seem to have been plagued by nagging injuries to their star players since the start of this season. Though the team has three All-Stars, the three have barely played enough games together.
But one of the reasons fans should not worry about is the talent they possess. These three players can take over the game whenever they want to. And to put all three on the floor at the same time is a defensive nightmare for opposing teams. Suns fans only have to be patient as the season goes on.
The Suns have everything they need
Phoenix Suns currently are on a two-game losing streak, hoping to break out of the slump. The team was handed a disappointing loss at the hands of the Lakers in the In-season tournament quarterfinal.
But that is not something the Suns’ front office is worried about now. The focus has shifted to the main prize, an NBA title. Hopefully, these three stars rehabilitate enough and get healthy for the league to see the full wrath of Phoenix.
Because all three players can create, facilitate, and also play good defense. So, it surely is no surprise that Devin Booker isn’t concerned, and rightfully so. Would anyone be if they had the talent that the Suns possess?
