Has Devin Booker been set up to fail with changes in the Phoenix Suns organization over 11 years?

1. Book needs to put in some muscle. Get some strength to be able to drive and take contact and take those double teams. Get into the paint a la Duane wade. Hes come into camp basically the same weight last 4 years. Get some upper body strength.

2. Why do you think Book was so successful in 2021 and 2022? Because he had a PG by his side in Chris Paul. Jalen Green is not that. He’s a combo guard who’s terribly inefficient. They need to move Green this off season.

3. Set up to fail?

   He hasn’t succeeded with anything they’ve given him besides Paul!

   Maybe if the dude stopped whining about double teams in practice he’d actually be able to handle them in real games and not be a non factor when a lick of defense is played on him.

4. He got a fine but the refs are not being held to the same accountability. That is what is making my guy frustrated.

5. Suns need a leader. Booker is a good 2nd option. Unfortunately they paid him like a number 1.

6. After Luka humiliated Devin in 2022, Booker became quiet and no longer the same fiery player he used to be

7. Suns need to trade Booker, perhaps to Detroit if they want him, and start the earnest rebuild, let Jalen Green assume the SG position

8. Back when Buschy actually won things. Good times.

9. How can we or suns win, no elite PG, no descent PF, no elite Center… suns need those so Booker can play his natural position and play his game.

10. Stop making excuses for this bum. This is who he is.

11. Booker had a bad season, despite what the numbers say.

12. Getting a point guard or Giannis is not going to make Devin Booker a better shooter or ball handler. He was already limited skill wise and we have to be honest and say that this is what it looks like when he can’t make tough shots anymore

13. No more excuses for Booker. He’s failure is all his. No one else’s. It’s called responsibility!

14. Suns a bad franchise man

15. Excuse after excuse. Just stop it. He’s a grown ass man making 50+ million a year. We are no where near a championship and the longer we stick with Booker the more we fall towards a Beal/Mitchell situation. Just move on.

16. Go get Kyrie

17. Book should have played better so the criticism is warranted. But people overrated our roster and expected more against the clear best team/defense in the league. They consistently sent double teams at Book just so he wouldn't get the ball. He showed us loyalty with the disservice that this organization has done to him for over half his career. The least we can do is show a little loyalty back for our guy Book

18. finally a smart take on the situation , book hasn’t been put in a proper role for YEARS !!!! if you want him to be an aggressive score first SG then you need to stop making him play 1-3 every single night

19. 1000% Agree. Devin's natural position is SG. Since Chris Paul's decline and departure, he had to be what the Suns organization had asked him to do. Be Point Book. To achieve that, he needs a big man. Another glaring point is that this team got exposed to size and length, which, unfortunately, Coach Otts did not adjust to.
