The Devin Booker-Kevin Durant-Bradley Beal era in Phoenix began yesterday with media day, and there was no shortage of players embracing the challenge with Booker as the Suns’ de facto leader.
Booker is confident that more time with his teammates will translate into success as Phoenix joins the rest of the league in trying to take down the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
“The Nuggets played their asses off through the whole playoffs,” Booker said, “so they’re the front-runners right now so everybody else has to try to catch them and knock them off the throne. “But I’m excited to have the team at the start of training camp, get acquainted with the guys and get everything situated.”
