Phoenix Suns fans saw this last year: excellent point guard play, hot start, top-10 offense and defense, lots of “they’re legit” national takes. So why is this year different?
Should we believe in these Suns (6-2, best record in West), or should we sit back and wait and see more of the season unfold before puffing our chests out?
To be fair, there are a LOT of similarities between the two iterations of Monty-ball.
Last year’s Suns team had excellent point guard play from new acquisition Ricky Rubio, finally letting Devin Booker be his best self as a shooting guard playmaker who didn’t have to do ALL the playmaking anymore.
