Chris Paul’s Impact Leads Suns To Western Conference Semi-Finals
No matter what team he has been on or what the circumstances were, Chris Paul has always found success anywhere he has been over the course of his 15-year NBA career and will do the same with the Suns. Not only does he join a team where he will be the floor general, but he joins a team with two of the best players in the NBA 24-years old or younger.
Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton are two proven, young stars of the NBA and not only have numerous All-Star appearances lined up for them in the future, but with Chris Paul, they have a chance to do something really special with the Phoenix Suns. Not only will the Suns have their first winning season since the 2013-14 season, but they will snap their streak of consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance.
This team has a chance to be extremely special and with three high-level talents,they should be able to make a lot of noise in the playoffs. There is no telling how far this team can go, but they will at least make it to the Western Conference Semifinals this season.
In the playoffs, regular seasons stats and achievements mean absolutely nothing because it all comes down to who is the better overall team and which team can gameplan the best. It is going to be extremely hard to stop the Suns offense with Paul, Booker and Ayton because if you focus too much on the perimeter, they will burn you inside with Deandre Ayton, but if you pay too much attention inside to Ayton, Booker will light things up from outside.
Not to mention, Chris Paul is a lethal mid-range scorer and can score from anywhere on the court. All three players can make plays for themselves and are high-talented players, making the Phoenix Suns a no-doubt playoff team in a tough Western Conference and a team that will be difficult to stop in the playoffs.
