Devin Booker may finally get respect he deserves as Suns critics go radio silent

Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has accomplished more than a vast majority of shooting guards in NBA history. Despite that unavoidable truth, he's often overlooked when discussions about the best players in the Association arise.

In the midst of a miraculous 2025-26 campaign, however, Booker has made it impossible to logically argue against his status as a top-tier player.

Despite parting ways with Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant, and playing 38 games without Jalen Green, the Suns are 24-16. It's a breathtaking feat and a certain feather in Booker's cap, as he's overcome playing 17 games without fellow starter Grayson Allen.
