We Were Worried Kevin Durant & The Phoenix Suns Would Start Doing This.. | NBA News (Devin Booker)

With the Kevin Durant era on the Phoenix Suns officially beginning over the course of the last week or so, there were many different takes and expectations on what we would see from an NBA team loaded with star power in KD, along with Devin Booker, Chris Paul, & Deandre Ayton. And while the results this week have been filed with positives for Phoenix Suns fans, I don’t think many people expected to see some of the strategies this team has used under Monty Williams.

In all of the Phoenix Suns games so far With KD & Book side by side, the Suns offense has developed a new identity they were not able to use all year prior. Because with their star power and ball handling being an option now at all times, it allows for the remainder of this rotation in guys like Josh Okogie, Cameron Payne, Torrey Craig, Landry Shamet, Damion Lee, Ish Wainright, & even new guys like TJ Warren & Terrence Ross to see efficient opportunities that only Kevin Durant can open up for almost any team.

But then even when considering the Suns defense, while their departures in the blockbuster trade do not help in this regard, the like of Craig, Okogie, etc. are more than capable of keeping this team atop the league as one of the best defensively under HC Monty Williams. But will this new look Phoenix Suns team have enough to make their way to the 2023 NBA Finals? Well, we will see in due time.

Before I even watch the video I just want to say that KD is one of the most amazing players I've watched. He can truly fit into any system. He plays hard on both ends of the floor. He's good with or without the ball. Obviously his scoring prowess is second to none right now, probably all time. He's a great passer. But the thing I like about him the most is that he's really not selfish. He's highly respected, and that's why he gets the ball so much. There isn't a single thing I would ask KD to do more of.

[joshloney]

Very very very excited for the playoffs. Durant and booker are a lethal combo

[jvtopflight]

CP3 ain't been this wide open consistently a day in his life 🤣🤣🤣

[emmanuelo]

They are the best scoring duo in the NBA, it going to be extremely hard to beat this Suns team 4 times out of 7 in a series

[dareason]

I think that both KD and Books' offenses are so good that people don't realize that they actually play very solid defense.

I think the defense gets even better because Monti does not play around on that end of the court. Just listen to all the interviews, Monti and the players all emphasize defense. It is usually that reporters ask about their offense more than their defense.

Lastly, this is not the only season that will have Book and KD in the line up. It will be here for at least a couple more years, and hopefully Monti and Ayton can truly amend their troubles and see Ayton become an even bigger threat out there. Yikes! Really hoping for the best.

Well, for me, I'm finally watching basketball again! Cause I feel like booker and KD really love what they are doing! And playing with heart, and it rubs off on rest of team, you can just feel the excitement! Reminds me of the Bulls days! And with that energy will will go all the way, watch!

[jaysonjoyce]

CP is shooting 50% on catch and shoot 3’s as well

[SunnyslopeVikingPride]

The best part is that I was on board to run it back and keep the team together. I’ve been convinced.
That was not an option.
This is far greater.
Championship or bust for the next three or four years. Great time to life in the valley.

[indamaking]

This offense has so much potential, they’re still learning it

[tonydataiga]

I don't think anyone was questioning if Kevin Durant would be successful on a team that almost won the chip a couple years ago. The only questions people have is about injuries

[RyanWow]

Media keeps talking about how bad the Suns bench is but the bench is 4th in the NBA in bench +/- and 15th in net rating.
People just need to watch the games.

[julianjosiahmoya]

Life long suns fan. Never get to high on highs to lows on the lows. Hope when win one in my life time

[yuki-tan]

the biggest question outside of supporting cast is can this team stay healthy? cp3 have history of getting injured in playoffs and kd too.

[stress.relief]

that pheniox ring is gonna look crispyyyy

[rob]

0:12 The life of an Arizona sports fan. “COULD they win it all? Absolutely! BUT…” 😔

[MattGarcyaDC]

I hope all players in the league stay healthy

[nbapbaupdate]

Kevin Durant need stay healthy this coming playoffs 🔥🔥🔥

[SedonaMasters]

But, can this team stay healthy? Perhapes with the long injury breaks most have had this year.

[GrumpyCat-mwxl]

I lost interest in B ball years ago but over the past 2 years I have been getting back into it. Even when I lost interest I did like KD. I live in Phoenix so it’s a pleasant surprise to find a player I like now on the suns.

[codystrader]

The suns really need to bring back the Barkley era jerseys
