He’s obviously focused on D for the most part. Think it was D wade tweeted or stated D Book is great defender, we know he can if he wants to be. Vogel ran a shot show while he was here, so excited to see a coach who is gonna demand guys play D and actually has a game plan that is more than just relying on your stars to out score everyone.
That's not what I saw. I saw a team player that sacrificed his numbers for his team and dug in defensively from start to finish. If you were looking for him to take over and try to be a superstar then I guess I could understand how you might think that.
Booker plays excellent for Team USA. He'll take shots when needed but won't force anything. I hope he carries some of that into next season. Let him go off if the D starts playing off a little and in the 4th when necessary.

Better off silent
Book is the most consistent all-around player on the team.
I believe I saw booker looking to get an Offensive rebound. Something he did not do the last 4 Suns games

This Booker guy is pretty good, very adaptable to the talent around him.

Book and KD have looked like the best 2 players on the team IMO over the last 2 games.
I hope they shoot the 3 like they are shooting it lately for the Suns.

Team basketball will do that for you. Hopefully, the Suns have filled their roster with team players.
Book has the only positive +/- among the starters, beside leading with 6 assists. He's been playing really excellent D. If he could do it consistently on the Suns, while he was the weakest link on D last season, this alone would make the team a lot better overall.

Devin Booker does it on defense, then finishes it on offense.

It pays off for a fan wearing a Devin Booker jersey.

Devin Booker says Phoenix is well represented in the Olympics.
"We got Phoenix all over. We have three on the women's team also so we're well represented. It's a basketball town and we want to put the city on the map. No better way than winning gold."

Team USA needs to beat Puerto Rico by five points tomorrow to secure the top seed of the elimination round.

KD hasn't missed a three in NBA pool play yet. Perfect beyond the arc!
