Through four games, the Suns’ biggest problem on offense has been turning the ball over, giving opponents easy opportunities in transition and limiting their own margin for error as a result. The problem is not only that this young team is struggling to adjust to a new system and a faster tempo, but that their best player, Devin Booker, is as big a culprit as anyone.
Booker’s workload has been heavier than ever to start the season. His 34.8 percent usage rate would rank by far the highest of his career, and though his scoring and playmaking numbers have been in line with career norms, he has struggled with ball control.
