After the SUNS ‘129-89 win over the Raptors in the NBA regular season, Booker spoke to the media and spoke highly of the performance of teammates Igordaro and Dunn.
When it comes to Dunn and Igodaro’s athleticism and energy, Booker said he enjoys playing with them. “Yes, it’s very interesting,” he said. They have energy and athleticism, but they also have ball intelligence, and that’s the most important thing.” Booker’s words were a sign of his recognition and appreciation for his two teammates.
Booker then spoke at length about Igodaro’s impact on the game. “Igodaro has been instrumental in every way,” he says. On the defensive end, he has the flexibility to change guard, guard guard, and protect the basket. On the offensive end, he rushes to cover and keeps the other team’s post players away from us so they can’t double-team us. And every time I believe HE’s in THE RIGHT position TO make THE RIGHT plays on the weak SIDE.” Booker’s assessment is the best description of Igordaro’s all-round ability.
Booker himself played well in the game, with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in 32 minutes and a plus-minus of +23. Dunn had 17 points, six rebounds and one block, while Igodaro added nine points, nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.
Overall, Booker’s assessment of Igodaro and Dunn was very pertinent, and their energy and talent did help the SUNS a lot. I believe that in the future, the three of them will continue to work hand in hand to create more brilliance for the Sun team.
