Forget about last night for a second. The Phoenix Suns still stand 7-5, a surprise to everyone. And had you asked most Suns fans before the season what it would take for the team to ascend to a .500+ record, most would likely predict big leaps forward from last season’s three most valuable players: Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges.
Devin Booker looks just as dominant as ever. But neither Ayton nor Bridges have made the impact on this team that Suns fans expected to this point (for different reasons, obviously).
