The Suns are not in good shape, despite having the highest payroll in the entire NBA and Devin Booker has talked about the team’s problems.
Perhaps the most concerning part is that Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal have only played 197 minutes together this season due to various injuries and in those minutes, they have a 4.3 rating.
“The frustration level is high,” Booker said, via Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports. “We are all competitors here, and we can see that these games will cost us at the end of the season. … We want to achieve something, get out of the playoffs and win every game possible.”
The leader of the Suns, Durant has faced a lot of injuries and the team is 1-9 without him this season.
After Phoenix’s recent loss at Memphis, Durant admitted he needs to get better.
“I feel like I can do more out there, I feel like I have to get better,” Durant said. “And I feel like every player in the locker room has the same mindset. So we all look in the mirror, we will be a better team.”
Head coach Mike Budenholzer knows the team can do more and is trying to stay positive, despite the Suns’ 15-17 record on the season.
“We have guys who have won at a high level, who have high expectations, a high level,” said Budenholzer. “…We have to find ways to get better, so these are not easy times. But our guys will find a way through it, and we’ll find a way through it together.”
