During Thursday’s shootaround, Morris explained to reporters that if there was any trash talk about the previous two playoff series he and Booker played against each other.</p><p>“I left that in 2021… that wasn’t too good,” Morris said, chuckling. “I can’t even talk about that. It’s all fun and games. When I first got here, we brought it up, bickering back and forth but he was like, ‘Yeah, we swept y’all,’ and I’m like, ‘We slept y’all last year too.’ We go back and forth, but it’s love to be on the same side.”</p><p>In 2021, the Suns eliminated the Denver Nuggets with a 4-0 series sweep. In that series, Booker averaged <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/devin-booker-stats-vs-nuggets-playoffs-2021" rel="noopener">25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists</a> in four games. On the flip side, Morris averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/2021-nba-western-conference-semifinals-nuggets-vs-suns.html" rel="noopener">11.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and five assists</a> while only starting in one game.</p><h2>Monte Morris got his revenge on Devin Booker and the Suns</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Suns-Monte-Morris-teases-friendly-feud-with-Devin-Booker-1.jpg"><figcaption>© Brad Rempel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Fast forward three years, it was the inverse. Morris joined the Minnesota Timberwolves and faced the Suns in the first round. This time, Morris and his squad had the upper hand on his current team. Booker still played great, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/2024-nba-western-conference-first-round-suns-vs-timberwolves.html" rel="noopener">27.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and six assists</a> while playing 41.5 minutes per game. Despite the superstar performance, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-most-to-blame-for-embarrassing-playoff-sweep-at-hands-of-timberwolves">Suns were ultimately swept</a>.</p><p>Morris didn’t see much playing time like he did in 2021, as he only played 9.7 minutes per game. Regardless, the Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals where they were knocked out by the Dallas Mavericks. Uncertainty loomed large as the Suns Big 3 seemed to take down any possible team. However, signing Morris and also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-tyus-jones-major-factor-join-suns">acquiring Tyus Jones</a> helps with having the offense run smoothly.</p><p>As Morris reflected on that series and playing against Booker, he’s glad they’re joining forces and not going against each other.</p><p>“He’s just a competitor, bro,” Morris said. “Book is a guy who always wants to win. He’s chippy, he talked trash and he backed it up. I’m just happy I’m on his side with him this time.”</p><p>The Suns are set to take on the Detroit Pistons on Friday, after facing off on Tuesday. In that game, Morris made his impact with the second unit. He and rookie Oso Ighodaro dominated the pick-and-roll all game long. Also, Morris had some time running the floor with Booker. That sight is one that Suns fans can look to enjoy more of throughout the preseason and into the regular season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Overall, you have two different methods of unlocking Stealth Mode packs and boxes in MyTEAM:</p><ul><li>Purchase Stealth Mode Boxes or Packs from the Pack Market</li><li>Complete Stealth Mode Challenges under Season 1 Challenges to earn Stealth Mode Deluxe Prize Shattered Tokens</li></ul><p>We do not recommend using VC to purchase MyTEAM packs or boxes. The price of these packs and boxes alone cost a fortune and would require you to play 2K non-stop until you stored up a lot of VC. Instead, try completing challenges, or use MT to purchase Packs if you want them. Farming VC takes a long time, so use it wisely.</p><h2><b>All NBA 2K25 MyTEAM Stealth Mode Player Items</b></h2><ul><li>Pink Diamond</li><li>Diamond</li><li>Amethyst</li><li>Ruby</li><li>Sapphire</li><li>Emerald</li><li>Gold</li></ul><p>Booker will be entering his 10th season in the league, but he’s only 27 years old and still in his prime. Last season, he averaged over 27 points per game in both the regular and postseason. He also earned a career high in assists (6.9 per game) as he helped the Suns reach the postseason for the fourth year in a row. However, Phoenix needs to rebound from an ugly First Round exit after going 0-4 against the Timberwolves last April. Nevertheless, we expect to see Booker play at an optimal level for just a bit longer.</p><p>Robinson, on the other hand, is a two-time NBA Champion and 10x All-Star, not to mention he’s in the Hall of Fame. The Spurs legend has been a scoring champion (1994), a rebound leader (1991), and a blocks leader (1992), showing that he could pretty much do anything.</p><p>Overall, that includes everything to know about the <a href="https://nba.2k.com/2k25/" rel="noopener">NBA 2K25 MyTEAM Stealth Mode</a> set, which features a Pink Diamond Devin Booker.

The Suns were riddled with injuries, as they played the first 23 games of the regular season without all three on the court simultaneously.</p><p>Regardless of the rankings, even Edwards acknowledged <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/suns/news/anthony-edwards-impressed-devin-booker-olympics" rel="noopener">how impressed he was</a> with Booker during the Olympic run. Booker’s ability to play his role to near perfection helped Team USA secure another Gold Medal. Playing tough defense, hitting open threes, and being a momentum shift was what sealed the deal. Although Booker enjoyed himself in Paris, the NBA season resumed almost two months later.</p><h2><b>How do Suns’ Devin Booker and Anthony Edwards match up?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Devin-Booker-and-Anthony-Edwards-mark-the-No.-1-and-2-spots-as-best-shooting-guards.jpg"><figcaption>© Brad Rempel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Funny enough, Booker had Edwards’s number in the regular season. He has an <a href="https://stathead.com/basketball/vs/devin-booker-vs-anthony-edwards" rel="noopener">11-1 record through 12 games</a>. Also, Booker averages more in every category besides rebounds, steals, and blocks. Edwards is more of a defensive presence than Booker, using his athleticism to beat defenders to spots, and cut off driving lanes. His 6’9 wingspan helps him guard bigger guards and forwards. </p><p>On the flip side, Booker’s defense has progressed year by year. In the Olympics was the first instance of the Suns guard being a true lockdown. While the athletes are different overseas than in the United States, defending at a high level can translate to whoever someone plays. </p><p>Offensively, this is where the two stars differ. Both are excellent scorers but have an interesting way of doing it. Edwards uses his athleticism and ball-handling to get to the rim at ease. He’s also been a solid catch-and-shoot player as well. Furthermore, he averaged 6.4 free throws per game, one more free throw than the previous season. The blend has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-side-side-anthony-edwards-michael-jordan-dunking-suns-goes-viral">led to viral dunks</a>, among other things.</p><p>For Booker, his offensive game isn’t as flashy as Edwards but is more fundamentally sound. His unique blend of <a href="https://coachnatehartman.com/devin-booker-pick-and-roll-pace/" rel="noopener">utilizing the pick-and-roll</a>, along with the mid-range shot is extremely effective. Booker’s touch with the ball has helped him develop a nice interior presence too. He may not dunk on everyone like Edwards but using both hands and angling shots is just as effective.</p><h2><b>Can Devin Booker overtake Anthony Edwards as the top shooting guard?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Suns-Devin-Booker-dissed-in-favor-of-Anthony-Edwards.jpg"><figcaption>© David Frerker-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>A new system will do wonders for Booker. While Frank Vogel was a solid head coach, he didn’t implement a steady offensive system. As a result, Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal took turns running the floor. It wasn’t bad by any means but it limited the offensive skill sets of all of those players. With the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-tyus-jones-agrees-to-3-3-million-contract">Suns signing Tyus Jones</a>, the offense can now run through a traditional point guard. Someone who can let Booker score at will and not have to focus solely on facilitating.</p><p>Because of this, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-kevin-durant-identifies-issue-must-address">Suns can limit turnovers</a>, something that they’ve worked on since the start of training camp. Booker should have the ball in his hands but shouldn’t have to create his offense 100% of the time. Having Beal and Durant to play off should help immensely. Even in Phoenix’s first preseason game, there was tons of off-ball movement, and short rolls to the basket by Booker.</p><p>Statistically, it may not be in Booker’s favor as Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns was recently traded to the New York Knicks. It’ll force Edwards to take more of an offensive weight but might dip his percentages. Both teams’ records should be significantly different from the previous season. Minnesota ended as the No. 3 seed while Phoenix fell to the No. 6. seed.</p><p>Beal believed that the Suns <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-bradley-beal-bold-1-seed-take-injury-riddled-season">could’ve been the No. 1 seed</a> had injuries not stepped in the way. While it’s uncertain what seed Phoenix could obtain, they certainly seem more promising. The last time Booker had a true point guard was with Chris Paul and they secured the No. 2 and No. 1 seed within Paul’s first two seasons. Booker had some of his most efficient seasons with Paul dictating the offense.</p><p>It’s unknown if Booker will overtake Edwards in the eyes of NBA GMs. If there is an opportunity for that to happen though, it’s this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
