10 days. Two preseason games. That is all that exists between the Phoenix Suns and the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. It seems like just yesterday a disappointed Devin Booker didn’t speak to the media following a Game 6 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Yet here we are on the other side of summer and the time has come to rev up the engine and start the season.
The first three season preseason games have been entertaining and provided previews as to what this team could be, both on offense and on defense. We’ve seen Jusuf Nurkic and his ability to connect the office, Grayson Allen’s affinity and desire to penetrate opposing defenses and finish in the paint, the BBD trio scoring 46 points in a quarter, and Josh Okogie making himself at home in the starting five.
