The All-Star Game is two months away. It will be played on February 15 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, and there is a real chance that the Los Angeles Clippers will not have a single representative.
At 7-21, that tracks.
The Phoenix Suns are a different story. They have quietly surprised the league with how they have played. They sit at 15-13, already halfway to their preseason line of 30.5, and it is not even Christmas yet. That does not happen by accident. It happens because multiple guys are having career seasons.
If you start lining them up by scoring relative to their own standards, the list of Suns having career years totals eight players:
- Dillon Brooks – 21.7 points (previous career high: 18.4 points)
- Grayson Allen – 16.3 points (previous career high: 13.5 points)
- Collin Gillespie – 13.2 points (previous career high: 5.9 points)
- Royce O’Neale – 10.3 points (previous career high: 9.1 points)
- Jordan Goodwin – 8.6 points (previous career high: 6.6 points)
- Ryan Dunn – 7.2 points (previous career high: 6.9 points…giggity)
- Jamaree Bouyea – 7.0 points (previous career high: 3.4 points)
- Oso Ighodaro – 4.9 points (previous career high: 4.2 points)
We cannot send everyone to Inglewood in February, but we can give credit where it is due. As a community, we can make some noise. We can help send one Sun to the All Star Game, even if he is having what some would call a down year.
That player is Devin Booker.
Booker is averaging 25.6 points on 46/30/87 splits, handing out 6.4 assists and pulling down 4.2 rebounds a night. He has evolved into a star who is willing to live inside the system Jordan Ott has put in place, and he has helped guide the Phoenix Suns to the seventh seed in the West. The efficiency has not always been pristine, but make no mistake, he is still the tip of the spear.
As fan voting ramps up, this is where we come in. Five starters from each conference will be selected through a blend of fan voting at 50%, media at 25%, and players at 25%. Head coaches will then choose seven reserves from each conference, regardless of position. Every vote matters.
Today matters even more. Votes count triple. That means it is time to show up, lock in, and do our part. Let’s send Devin Booker to the All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles this February.
