Ever since the Phoenix Suns selected Devin Booker 13th overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, they have been committed to bringing winning basketball to the city. The results have been mixed, but it has been clear that Booker deserves to be the star.
He has been the Suns‘ best player over the past decade, cementing his place as one of the franchise’s all-time greats. They were only two wins away from a championship in 2021, but the Milwaukee Bucks got away with the victory.
Devin Booker is focused on staying as the Suns’ star player
In the 2026-27 NBA season, the Suns are still a middle-of-the-road team. However, Booker has remained productive for the Suns. He has lived up to his role as the team’s superstar, averaging 25.1 points and 4.8 assists per game this season.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Suns are far away from a championship. They want to win a title, but the Suns might n not have the contender-worthy roster that they had in the early 2020s when Booker had the likes of Mikal Bridges, Deandre Ayton, and Chris Paul with him.

This has led to discourse regarding Booker potentially asking out and looking for a challenge elsewhere. Despite that, it seems that Booker and the Suns are together in their quest to win a title.
“From every indication that I’ve got, the Phoenix Suns want to keep Devin Booker, and they want to continue to build around him. For Devin Booker, he wants to be a Sun for life, ideally… It’s about trying to make the team better around him,” Michael Scotto said about Booker’s place on the team while on SiriusXM NBA Radio.
It is definitely a tough situation for Booker and the Suns. However, they are committed to each other, as they want to keep competing and prove that they can be competitive against any team.
