Durant revealed in an interview with the media that he recruited Yuta Watanabe to come to the Suns.
Vogel said Booker and Durant will play some time in the Suns' first preseason game against the Pistons, but "it won't be too long." His plan is for the starters to "test the waters" and then try to get everyone on the squad involved. The Suns' roster has changed a lot this year, Ayton has gone to the Blazers, Nurkic is expected to be the new starting center, and their role lineup has some additions, and the team needs to use training camp and preseason to get in well.
Booker praised Nurkic: "He's a beast. He can organize the offensive. For a big man, his IQ is extraordinary. ”
Durant revealed in the interview that when he learned that Yuta Watanabe was a target for the Suns' free agent, he reached out to help recruit him. "We wish him great results this season and I'm happy that everyone has enjoyed his performances in training so far." Durant said.
Reporters from the front also filmed some scenes from the Suns training camp, where Booker wore a headband and was not sure if he would appear in such a look in the new season. Sun officials also posted a photo of Booker wearing a headband. As for whether Beal will play his first preseason game, there is no more news ahead. If Vogel is going to let the starting lineup grind in the actual battle against the Pistons, Beal should be on the court as well.
Speaking about the Suns' Big Three, former NBA star Arenas said: "I believe they spent a lot of time training together in the summer looking for chemistry, and I think they must have no problem, maybe who shoots in key moments will be a problem, but you have three players who know what to do. It's like I have Kobe, Jordan, and Pierce, and if the three are on the court at the same time, the last shot can be given to anyone. ”
