With the Phoenix Suns able to only tally a total of 68 wins in the past three seasons combined, it would be easy to assume that their current form this year is no longer anything out of the ordinary. However, this does not appear to be the case for young Suns star Devin Booker, who recently stated that this is the worst he has ever seen his team since he entered the league four years ago:

As Booker said, this statement absolutely speaks volumes on how poorly the Suns have played this season. They are currently sitting on an 11-50 record — the worst in the entire league — and by the way things are going right now, reaching 20 wins this year will prove to be quite a difficult task for Phoenix.

Nevertheless, Booker continues to rally the troops, saying they will just need to keep on fighting night in and night out. There is absolutely nothing to play for anymore this year, but the Suns will still need to keep their spirits up and treat the season one game at a time.

Booker's statement comes on the heels of another defeat, this time to the 20-40 Atlanta Hawks. The 22-year-old Suns guard did have another rather impressive performance in this one, notching 26 points (on 8-of-23 shooting), seven rebounds, eight assists, and a blocked shot.

It was, however, in another losing effort as the Suns' appalling defense was on full display again on the evening. Devin Booker and co. allowed all five Hawks starters to reach at least 18 points as the Suns endured their 17th straight defeat, 120-112.
