Description

On today's episode, we dive deep into the Suns' core of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges. Where steps in their developments did they take in 2019-20? FanSided's Suns insider Gerald Bourguet joins to explore what went right.At this point, nobody should put a ceiling on Booker. Not only did Booker take a huge jump in efficiency, but his defensive effort and playmaking continued to improve. What's the next realistic step for Booker entering Year 6?Ayton is the anchor of the Suns' defense, and that showed throughout his 30-game sample size. After huge question marks surrounding his defensive ability, Ayton quieted doubters doubling his block percentage. Phoenix also was noticeably better whenever he was on the floor. However, there's still one step missing from Ayton's game that needs to be improved upon in 2020-21.Bridges has a huge opportunity in Orlando to step up in Kelly Oubre Jr.'s absence, and he was making the leap before the season was put on pause. The former Villanova Wildcat is well on his way to becoming an All-NBA defender very soon, too. What's a realistic step for Bridges to take entering Year 3? Learn more about your ad choices.
