Sooooo Devin Booker now has the best defensive rating for a SG in the NBA and has also broken in to the top 10 in PPG.

Best player on the best team. Top ten in scoring and the best defensive player at his position and not a single word of MVP talk. How is that even possible.
He is 100% the least respected superstar in the league. It’s really crazy.

I think Chris Paul loves the game and will play as long as possible and hopefully afterwards, the Suns bring him into the organization/ownership in some capacity.

Cam Payne is showing he can be a starting point guard but I'm not sure if his body can take the constant pounding. Adding Aaron Holiday was a low profile move by James Jones which could pay off big time. Holiday can play too.
I believe CP3 is going to be a very effective coach or executive in the NBA someday.

Devin Booker is 59 points from passing Amare Stoudemire for #6 on the all time franchise scoring leaders.

He will then be about 1700 points from the #3 spot passing Van Arsdale, Marion, and KJ. That will be next season.

At 27 Booker will pass Alvin Adams for the #2 scorer in franchise history.

@Hoop Head

I was reading Kellan Olson who was taking questions on twitter. No update on Frank Kaminsky.

Any word on Cam Johnson? Did he make the trip? I can't remember if I saw him on the bench vs Sac.

This is what Kellan Olson said about Cam Johnson. I think Cam previously only missed 10 games.

I’ve been wondering about Cam myself but there really is no rush at this point. I do worry about Bridges having to play monster minutes but Crowder and Cam being out doesn’t leave us a ton of options.

Stephen A. Smith says Mikal Bridges is a lock for Defensive Player of the Year.

This would be fantastic, but I hope it's not one of those situations where he is so anxious to return, he comes back too soon.

For what it is worth, Cam Johnson is reportedly at least a week away from returning.

Below is an earlier tweet which mentioned Cam Johnson sitting until March 27th.
