Should the Suns be concerned over Devin Booker’s 3-point shooting slump?

PHOENIX — Devin Booker has made a career out of being able to make difficult shots look routine, but so far this preseason, his 3-point touch has gone cold.

Against the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, the All-Star guard has gone just 1-for-12 from beyond the arc, most notably going 0-for-8 on Wednesday. While it’s still the preseason and there’s plenty of time for those shots to start falling, Booker’s 3-point shooting over the last few seasons does pose one question.

Will this become a concern the Suns need to address?
