Jordan Ott praises Devin Booker's ability to switch between being a scorer and a playmaker

The Phoenix Suns snapped their longest losing streak of the season, five games, by beating the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. It was one of the best performances of the season, as they had six players in double figures with Devin Booker leading the way with his 25 points and six assists. 

It proved that Booker is still one of the best offensive players in the league because he is a natural scorer and playmaker. While people may see it often among stars, it is one of the hardest roles to play in the league. With the likes of Luka Doncic and James Harden, Booker has some unique peers.

The Suns' 120-98 victory was a cathartic one for the team because they snapped the losing streak. At the same time, it was also payback for the Raptors' 122-115 win the week before. Booker was quite vocal about that game when he called out the referees for not calling a foul on Scottie Barnes.

It seemed Booker wanted to prove that the Suns were a much better team than the Raptors. With how he performed, he was motivated to keep fighting. Booker not only scored well, but he was also superb with how he served as the playmaker alongside Collin Gillespie.

The rest of the Suns benefited because they had awesome performances. Almost every player who appeared for the Suns scored, and that was because everyone was in rhythm. With Booker leading the offense, everyone was feeling confident with their offensive game.

"I mentioned it earlier in the year, he has a pulse of the game as well as anyone I’ve been around. Knowing when to be aggressive. I think that’s been one of the biggest parts of our season, his belief in his teammates. He’s always making the right play," Ott said in response to Clutchpoints' Hayden Cilley about Booker's versatility on offense.

Moving forward, the Suns have a promising roster that can keep improving on offense. With Booker leading the way, that is even more promising because they have a superstar on their roster. He is ready to keep cementing himself as the man who will carry the responsibility.
