With just one night and two games in the books for this young NBA season so far, it’s obviously too early to make any sweeping proclamations about much of anything.
Still, the Suns—incredibly talented with three bona fide star wing scorers, but extremely thin at the point-guard spot after trading away Chris Paul—have to feel encouraged at extremely early returns from Devin Booker serving as the floor general in the team’s 108–104 season-opening victory at Golden State.
In particular, Booker gracefully guided the offense over the final 90 seconds, collecting assists on three consecutive possessions to three different teammates to ultimately ice the contest.
