As the Phoenix Suns inched closer and closer to the start of the regular season without making a move for a traditional point guard, it became more and more apparent that they were either going to have to run with a backup as the starter or use Devin Booker.
The Suns decided to do both: they have started Isaiah Canaan in both of the team’s first two games, while using Devin Booker as the point guard in the fourth quarter.
Prior to the start of the season, Interim General Manager James Jones said that he would feel confident with Booker at point and believed that Book would “relish” the opportunity to play the position.
