Gregg Popovich knows a good team when he sees one. The legendary head coach has been a part of numerous championship teams. The San Antonio Spurs headman didn't hold back his thoughts on this year's Phoenix Suns. A team that is absolutely loaded with talent. Needless to say, Popovich is high on them. So high that he believes the Suns have what it takes to become champions. After the team's met this past Tuesday, "Pop" was asked his thoughts on the new look Suns.
“You know, with Chris (Paul) being the point along with veterans like Book (Devin Booker) and KD (Kevin Durant), they can get it together,” Popovich said. “He’s a great leader. KD and Book know what it takes, Monty (Williams) and his staff do a great job. They would probably like to have a few more games to get a rhythm down, but they can still get it done, without a doubt.” A huge endorsement from one of the greatest minds in the history of the NBA.
Gregg Popovich Likes What He Sees In Phoenix
The Suns are still chasing that elusive first franchise championship. The Team came up just short in 2021. As the Milwaukee Bucks took down the Suns in an all-time classic series. However, the addition of Kevin Durant has Phoenix looking like a completely different team. When Durant plays, the Suns are undefeated. His presence on the court changes the entire landscape of the team. Pairing up with Devin Booker and Chris Paul certainly makes the Suns a betting favorite for the NBA title.
As good as the Suns have become, Gregg Popovich's Spurs are on the opposite end. The 2022-23 Spurs have their eyes set on the NBA Draft Lottery instead of the playoffs. But, the lottery will be no consultation prize this season. As teams will be clamoring to grab the French big man Victor Wembanyama. Needless to say, many believe that Wembanyama is an instant game changer. Something the Spurs desperately are in need of. Stay locked in for the latest news involving the NBA here at HNHH.
