1. Devin Booker

Many questioned the Suns for not having a natural point guard. However, after their first game, Devin Booker proved to the critics that he was their floor general.

Booker stood out among the rest with 32 points, six rebounds, and eight assists. Phoenix is a sure threat in the league with their star shooting guard available.

Early this season, the former Kentucky standout will be their primary facilitator. He won’t have the ball in his hands most of the time, but Booker will be the guy for the Suns to get their offensive sets going.

After the first half, the All-Star shooting guard was the only one who made efficient shots. The team will need tons of production from him since he’ll be the primary option for Phoenix this season.
