Rebilas-Imagn Images There’s an instinct to look at Devin Booker when defining the Phoenix Suns’ ceiling.
He’s the proven scorer, the established star, the one whose résumé already answers questions about pressure. The recent noise questioning his elite status feels more like fatigue than fact, and Suns fans understand his baseline rarely dips for long. Dillon Brooks brings something different with his intense edge on and off the court.
His willingness to challenge Stephen Curry and Draymond Green adds emotional voltage to the matchup. But edge alone doesn’t tilt a series. It amplifies moments; it doesn’t define outcomes.
That leaves the most unpredictable variable, and the most dangerous one. Mar 28, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Phoenix guard Green (4) against the Utah Jazz in the second half at Mortgage Matchup Center. Mandatory Credit: Mark J.
