The Phoenix Suns have begun the NBA season 1-2, with Devin Booker once again being tasked with leading the charge on a nightly basis. To say he has done just that would be telling a lie, because he has been as passive as when Kevin Durant was in town. Having Dillon Brooks take nearly five more field goal attempts each night is not on, and it is on Booker to be more assertive.
The 28-year-old is far from the only problem in The Valley however, and the fact they already rank 29th in defensive rating - giving up 124.
