Because of the staggering expectations they set for themselves by loading so much neon into their superstar billboard, they inspire more malaise than optimism. That might be changing, though.
The 2023-24 Phoenix Suns never really gave themselves a chance at being liked, appreciated, or even much respected by the broader basketball world. The instant Bradley Beal was traded to the team, it compounded an already growing fatigue with “superteam” configurations, centered around veteran All-Star trios who move and shake the league so that it will allow them to play together.
Booker and Durant’s two-man show quickly fizzled out after their briefly thrilling effort to tie that series at 2-2, however. Durant had just gotten there, and the team was barely realized. Now there’s been a full season between the duo, and while it’s been a largely underwhelming one, important work has been done, and comfort and rhythm levels are higher than they were when just purely balling was enough to momentarily frighten the eventual champions, a year ago.
When push comes to shove, will he be the versatile-yet-muted utility man that this team needs? A career-long volume scorer, his true fit alongside Booker and Durant has always been predicated on this question. It’s still this way, but there are encouraging signs. Over the past ten games, he is taking only ten shots per contest, while averaging seven assists.
