I don't think its a homer narrative. My understanding is that a wing player is the 2-3 position in the modern NBA, and they are often interchangeable. These are usually players in the 6-4 to 6-9 height range that can run the floor, play on the wing, score, and in a ideal world they are also good defenders.
This is not about Booker, its about the nature of the position.
I called it a "homer position" because he blindly supports any moves the team makes until they don't work, essentially buying into the narrative pushed by the Suns PR team.
Besides that, I think wings can be interchangeable if you're talking average talent players but notice how no one is saying Beal will play SF? He's a SG like Booker, albeit 2" shorter. So why has Booker being moved dominated the narrative? No one talks about sliding KD, a natural SF, to SG either. The Suns keep trying play folks out of position and I'm tired of it. It's never just 1 guy or situational either, it's a domino effect. The most conventional lineup we've had in the last 25 years took us to the finals and then won a franchise record of games. I'd course some felt it had to be blown up since they lost to a team 2 years from making the finals themselves, with the greatest Euro prospect of all time. So 2 years was all that team got before someone tried finding the next 7SOL, which has failed.
There's always some versatility for a stretch, like Devin playing some PG, but this front office seems deadset on keeping him from playing his usual spot. It doesn't give us an advantage to play him elsewhere. I know he was great in the Olympics but is he going to defer to Royce O'Neale and Tyus Jones like they're Lebron and Steph? Big difference there when your teammates are MVP's and 1st ballot HOF'ers vs guys who earn as much throughout their career as stars do in a year.
