Kevin Durant proven right to ditch Suns after EuroBasket heroics of budding star

The Phoenix Suns may have lost Kevin Durant this offseason, but they have been trying to put a brave face on losing one of the best offensive players of all-time. His departure may put Devin Booker under unnecessary pressure to be a creator for this roster once more, but in truth the fit between the two was never as seamless as when Chris Paul was in town.

Booker deferred to Durant anyway - especially in crunch time - while he was more than comfortable to give him the ball in tight situations and let the 36-year-old go to work.
