The Phoenix Suns are off to a 1-7 start, but there’s no doubt they’re better than they’ve played so far. After Devin Booker missed three games, he returned against the Toronto Raptors for another loss. It wasn’t the same though. After the Suns were uncompetitive in all three games he missed, Booker returned and the team lost by single digits after hanging in against a team they were supposed to lose to.
Booker wasn’t amazing against Toronto. He has just 18 points, which is well below his average, and he shot poorly from the field, going 8-20 and 2-7 from 3.
