28-year-old Booker s new role is revealed: He will serve as a full-time starting point guard in the new season and join hands with Green to playoffs

On July 24, 28-year-old Booker will play a new role in the team in the new season. According to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, Booker will serve as the Suns full-time point guard in the 2025-26 season.

This offseason, the Suns sent Durant away through multi-party transactions, exchanged for assets such as Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, reached a buyout agreement with Bill, and paid Bill $97 million in five years; the Suns not only broke up the three giants, but also renewed Booker's 2-year, $145 million contract in advance, and everything revolved around Booker's team building.

It is reported that Booker will serve as the Suns full-time point guard in the new season, which means Booker's positioning in the team will usher in a huge change, from a shooting guard to a point guard, the entire offensive system of the Suns will be dominated by him, and the burden on him will become heavier.

Last season, Booker played 75 games for the Suns, averaging 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, setting a career high. His average assists per game is expected to hit a career high in the new season; it is worth mentioning that Booker once scored 70 points in a single game to set a career high.

Booker serves as point guard, then Suns new player Jaylen Green will serve as the team's starting point guard. He will continue to wear the No. 4 jersey. Iguodaro gave No. 4 to Green and changed to No. 11.

Recently, when talking about joining forces with Booker, Jaylen Green said in a long article saying goodbye to the Rockets: No one likes to be traded, I'm telling the truth, but I can accept it, this is business. If I were the general manager, I might agree to the deal. I think it's a win-win thing, and I'm so happy to be with Booker, building on the winning culture the Rockets are looking for.

It is expected that the five starting teams of the Suns in the new season will be Booker, Jaylen Green, Dillon, Dunn and Mawei; Durant, Booker and Bill failed to lead the team to the playoffs last season. Do you think Booker and Green can lead the team to the playoffs in the West in the new season?
