Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker talks with Dime Magazine about this season, the first with coach Monty Williams and a pass-first pointguard like Ricky Rubio:
“When we made the hire and the addition of coach Monty, we had many conversations and his first step he said is we need to change the perception of this team and how people view us. And if that’s having to get a little nasty, play tougher, more physical, but people are going to know when they play against up some talented, hard working guys. I think we showed a lot of spots of that, especially towards the beginning of the season, but we dealt with some injuries. I think we were at our best when we had our full roster, and recovering when two or three guys would go down was tough for us this year. But we definitely showed we’re not going to be a walkover team, and I think that’s the first step in recreating a franchise or a culture is gaining respect from around the league”
Before the suspension Booker was averaging over 26 points and 6 assist per game, shooting a career high 48% from the field and 91% from the foul line.
