Since he joined the franchise in 2015, Devin Booker has been on a pursuit of an NBA championship.
The eighth-year guard has already ascended through one of the worst stretches in Phoenix Suns history, when they finished at the bottom of the West three times. He moved toward a title with an NBA Finals appearance in 2020-21, but it was not enough.
The Suns’ chances appeared to go down once they could not win after a franchise-best 64 wins last season. Now, Booker and the Suns may have the pieces to make a final push to the top of the mountain after their acquisition of superstar forward Kevin Durant.
