Book has had everything handed to him since James Jones arrived. Promising new rookies. (Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson). All-time great veterans (Chris Paul, Durant and Beal). New coaches (Monty Williams, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer). The franchise has even upgraded the locker room and practice facility.

Bradley Beal had the game-high 25 points and the team-high three steals to lead the Phoenix Suns (17-19) to a 123-115 home win over the Atlanta Hawks (19-19) on Thursday. This was the third consecutive game Beal has come off the bench after being removed from the Suns' starting lineup earlier this week.
