    Devin Booker game so pure.

    E☀️ @ea_az7

    Devin Booker really needs a tougher league

    Jackson Lloyd @JacksonLloydNBA

    Devin Booker is a great watch.

    LEEZUS @Andrew Leezus

    Kevin Durant is the all-time leading scorer, so it’s easy to forget that he’s one of the most underrated defenders the game has ever seen

    Suns report @TheSunsReport

    Kevin Durant’s defensive ability isn’t talked about enough. Consecutive blocks at the rim in clutch time

    Suns are better @SunsAreBetter

    I don’t have the words to describe Ryan Dunn other than…
    ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.     pic.twitter.com/XLIj0JT3eb

    Shane Young @YoungNBA

    I don’t want to be dramatic, but I would vote for Ryan Dunn for president next week

    Coldest @DColdestt

    The Phoenix Suns have the best wing rotation in the league.

    Zone @AZSportsZone

    Royce O’Neale is the unsung hero of this team.
    There wasn’t enough talk about his extension.

    乇尺ﾑ @The Westbrook era

    Royce O’Neale could be one of the top five role players in the league, bro

    Isaac 🐦☀️(4-4)(4-1) @mikalbridge

    Royce O’Neale was absolutely incredible at the start of the season

    Phoenix will now play three games against the Portland Trail Blazers starting Saturday evening.
