Young Suns growing up with Rubio, Baynes mentoring
Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY SportsThe Phoenix Suns have won seven of their last 11 games, including a win on the road over the Celtics on Saturday where they led for 47 of 48 minutes, and now are back into ninth place in the West.
The resurgence has been spear-headed by All-Star level play from their two most talented young players in Devin Booker (23 years old) and Deandre Ayton (21).
Booker is on a real tear lately, second in the league in scoring during this 7-4 run with 32 points (0.5 points behind leader James Harden), 6.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds and the best plus-minus among the league’s top 12 scorers (plus-6.9 points per game) in that span.
