With the addition of Kevin Durant, many have started to consider Phoenix Suns as one of the favorites to win the championship this year. With players like veteran Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and KD, it is hard to ignore the firepower that the Suns have. After the All-Star break, Devin Booker was asked if he considered the Suns to be a super team. The young scoring maestro denied it completely saying they only had one All-Star.
According to Booker, if the Suns were a superteam, they would have multiple All-Stars this season. “We only had one All-Star this year, that was KD,” Booker said. It is true that only Durant from the Suns was in the All-Star selection, and that too when he was with the Brooklyn Nets. Both Booker and Paul missed the selection, mainly because they were out for substantial games this season.
Many NBA pundits believe that with a talent like that, the Suns are the team to beat in the West. Kevin Durant is all set to make his return with Phoenix and is expected to return at the end of Feb. The Suns still have 22 games to go and they have a 38-22 record. Moreover, they stand in fifth place in the Western Conference. With Durant making his return, they would certainly try to secure the top spot for their postseason advantages.

Devin Booker says the Phoenix Suns have a championship-caliber team
Despite trading a few of their crucial pieces in the mid-season trade, the Suns still look as dangerous as any other team in the NBA. They might have lost Mikal Bridges, who not only provided them with an outside shooting advantage but more than that an All-NBA defensive player. They also lost young Cam Johnson, coming off the bench. Johnson was one of the most crucial bench players for the Suns. However, Booker still believes that they have a team to win the championship this year. “I know we have really talented group to get to where we are trying to and finish what we are trying to do. So that’s my main focus,” he said.
Booker also said that despite all the narratives in the media about the team, the Suns will be defined by how they finish the season. “Everything that’s said about us will come regarding how we finish,” said Booker. Despite the fact that the Suns do have a pretty average roster to play with their starting lineup is as good as it could get for any team. With two lethal shooters and a point God on the floor, it is going to be raining buckets on the floor.
