With the Suns gearing up for the highly anticipated 2023-24 season, the addition of a formidable Big 3 consisting of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal has elevated expectations for the team.
Discussing the challenges opposing teams will encounter when facing the Phoenix lineup, Durant emphasized the individual strengths of each player and their ability to demand attention on the court.
“You got guys who command respect out there,” Durant remarked, recognizing the potent offensive capabilities of the Suns’ trio.
“Book drives to the rim is going to be guys coming over the corners. Same with Bradley, same with myself on different areas of the floor. So that can open up everything for everyone. You can’t guard all of us at once.”
Highlighting the strategic advantage of having multiple players who can draw double teams, Durant emphasized the difficulties that opponents will face in managing the Suns’ offensive prowess.
“Especially when guys like Book can command a double team. Myself, Brad command double team is going to be tough on the backside. We play fundamentally sound ball, don’t turn the ball over, rebound. We’ve been solid on shape on offense,” the two-time NBA champion said.
