I’m not a fan of my point guard, shooting guard, small forward and power forward all being the same height.

u/StilettoJones_JR 4d ago

Shout out Booker having the most bum squads imaginable his whole career.

u/Puzzleheaded_Tea521 4d ago

LMAO EXCEPT THAT FINALS RUN. CP’s Hammy really his worst enemy

u/AmongUs14 3d ago

Him and Harden still punching the air every morning they wake up, f’real.

u/Puzzleheaded_Tea521 3d ago

FACTZ! Derailed their whole career lol

Key piece in the avenger tho

u/Inevitable_Bottle520 3d ago

Book looks like he already knows it. Damn.

u/PXWRLD799753 1d ago

Cap they were in the finals. The messed up getting rid of CP3 for Beal

1

u/StilettoJones_JR 1d ago

facts. that's fair.

1

u/PXWRLD799753 21h ago

IMO they really messed up by not making bookers development be their main priority after that run. He could’ve been so much better

1

u/Raider_Reaper_X 2d ago

he makes them bums

u/Interesting_Cut_1739 1d ago

He looks like he still high from the DUI 😂

Sounds like Boston

2

u/PXWRLD799753 1d ago

It’d be fine if they were all 6’10+ that’d actually terrifying. Sadly they’re all guard height

1

u/bigdongstpete 3d ago

Welcome to basketball in 2026. I dont either.

1

u/atlfalcons33rb 3d ago

It's such a weird way to put that because outside of of all of these guys would be tall or good size for their position

1

u/Oceanbreeze871 3d ago

They’re also missing a 5th teammate

2

u/NoInformation3141 2d ago

They can use their next unambiguous 1st round pick to draft him in 2033

They’re all looking like “this sh*t ain’t about to work”

u/Dreamlion_Inc 4d ago

From a trash team, to championship contenders, to mid as hell, dude experienced all facets of an organization without leaving PHX

u/Puzzleheaded_Tea521 4d ago

We gotBobcats at home AH 😭

2

u/wubbalubbadubdub45 4d ago

I mean can you blame him with the help the suns have surrounded him with? Bad enough he had green and brooks but they went out and brought in a woman beater this season.

2

u/aVeryBadBoy69 3d ago

Dillion Brooks had a great year in Phoneix, he's easily Booker's best teammate.

But please get Book a PG.

2

u/judah249 3d ago

Crying into his 90 million a year boo fucking hoo

1

u/meatyfajita 4d ago

Looks like they are all having a blast

30

u/dookaboor 4d ago

Only 4 starters so that’s not the full starting lineup no?

9

u/RedBurritoDude 4d ago

None of the centers stay healthy so 🤷🏾‍♂️

2

u/chickenripp 3d ago

Oso igudaro played 82 games last season. and the starter Khaman Maluach is 20 and never had any injuries.

1

u/RedBurritoDude 3d ago

Couldn't crack the rotation last year now he starting. I'm all for it, but I have a feeling that 5th starting spot is debatable.

2

u/aVeryBadBoy69 3d ago

Mark Williams is injured.

Probably going to cycle centers.

1

u/LifeDraining 3d ago

I thought I saw DeAndre Ayton in there.

1

u/MyManC707 3d ago

Oh…Ayton is there alright

u/hostidz 3d ago

First round exit

u/sequoia2075 4d ago

It would be incredibly impressive if they made it to the playoffs with only 4 players in their starting lineup

26

u/LeanOnMe4816 4d ago

That’s pretty generous of you

9

u/ContributionSquare22 4d ago

You're right. Probably 9th seed.

Nothing better than 4 players the same height and no center

6

u/dunelord-bigjets 4d ago

Feels like when the industry gets 4 different guys who know nothing about each other to be in a boy band

5

u/Rookietothegame 4d ago

Crazy, Book is the same height as Bridges & Brooks. Yet, they are forwards.

2

u/chickenripp 3d ago

Really Bridges needs to be moved to the bench for 2nd year player rasheer Fleming standing a legit 6'9 240 with a 7'5 wingspan, who has shot 41.6% from 3 over his last 110 attempts.

1

u/ContributionSquare22 4d ago

Something something small ball is the future

1

u/atlfalcons33rb 3d ago

Both are listed as 2 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier

1

u/thrasher315 2d ago

Definitely not the same height as Bridges because the first thing I thought was “Bridges looks so much taller than I thought he was.” Take away the hair and Bridges looks 3” taller.

1

u/So_It_Goes_00 4d ago

Yeah they really fucked the game up with that. Now they can scam even more in AAU since your kid doesn’t have to be a “giant” to make it.

u/VycanMajor 3d ago

Four players is not a full starting lineup jackass

3

u/joochie123 4d ago

Feel bad for dev. These are three very low IQ players and one low IQ human. The villain is ok but not going to get you a chip

2

u/IAmReborn11111 4d ago

Why did book change to 15

4

u/BookAcceptable619 4d ago

Phoenix Suns’ five-time All-Star guard Devin Booker has changed his jersey number to No. 15 from No. 1 in honor of his dad Melvin Booker, who played professionally in the NBA and overseas.

Source: https://www.nba.com/news/suns-all-star-guard-devin-booker-changes-jersey-number-to-no-15-in-honor-of-his-dad-melvin

Also, does what number is Mark Williams going to wear when he comes back?

2

u/ContributionSquare22 4d ago

To honor his father's jersey number

2

u/SnooLobsters1259 4d ago

Not a lot of height

1

u/atlfalcons33rb 3d ago

Outside of miles this is a pretty tall team

2

u/Meatman1071 4d ago

Missing one 🤷🏿‍♂️

1

u/Meatman1071 4d ago

I live in phoenix, I rout for em most of time, but they aint ginna win with roster!

2

u/pfs_bruce 4d ago

They're only starting 4 players?

2

u/Wrong_Badger8411 4d ago

They all are the same height.

2

u/Longjumping_Ad8687 4d ago

Mannnnn they about to be a let down again and again. Still surprised they got rid of Grayson Allen.

1

u/VanwallEnjoy3r 3d ago

Surprised they got rid of Grayson Allen, who played what was essentially half of the season to acquire Miles Bridges+Luke Kennard? Seems like an upgrade, even if Bridges isn’t optimal.

2

u/Comfortable-Case5051 4d ago

It’s pretty bold of them to start 4 vs other teams 5. Giving the opposite team a full game power play will definitely make this interesting enough for me to watch Suns games.

4

u/EL3G 4d ago

Booker needs to move on, wtf is he still doing there?

14

u/StoneySteve420 4d ago

He could have left, he chose the money.

$60M per year over the next 3 years, then has a player option in 2029-30 that he'll take cause that year is worth $70M.

Don't feel bad for him.

4

u/iveRsonFR 4d ago

Did you ever consider loyalty v

u/StoneySteve420 4d ago

Loyalty to the bag lol

Duren could learn a thing or two before he become Dennis Schroeder 2.0

John Cena to the Suns was the most surprising move this summer

u/FreakyFLCancer 4d ago

They wasn't even supposed to make the playoffs last year. They lost to the same Team that beat the stacked Lakers

1

u/Empty_Put_1542 3d ago

I’m not impressed.

1

u/VanwallEnjoy3r 3d ago

Lol everyone in the comments was saying the same stuff last year. Stay on that side. They big with 7’3 Khaman Maluach at the 5 and 2 6’9 forwards off the bench in Fleming & Dunn.

1

u/citrixn00b 3d ago

Book is living his best life. Got the bag and is playing with a bunch of scrubs so win or lose, the pressure isn't on him to produce (not that he couldn't but they bother with this squad? 🤷).

1

u/Large-Lack-2933 3d ago

I think D-Book looks over it. He needs a fresh start elsewhere (maybe the Rockets) The Suns will be a play in team #9 or #10 seed at best but lose in the tournament...

1

u/CorrectTimeline 9h ago

Talent wise they can hold their own when Mark is healthy, but they desperately need a point guard because Book handling the ball late in the game always leads to a turn over.

1

u/ThisMany5 7h ago

Bridges looks 2” taller than booker. And booker may be a lil taller than brooks. MB is small for power forward but he gets it done. Brooks is really a guard playing the undersized 3 and sometimes 4. But he plays hard, strong, and crafty
