When Booker gets going, it is very hard to get him to stop. At just 24, he is the Suns’ first option to score, and with good reason. If he can get his rhythm going, he can propel Phoenix to their first-ever championship and be the 4th youngest player to win Finals MVP joining the company of players like Dwyane Wade and magic Johnson.

Chris Paul

The leader of the Suns, Chris Paul, is the living embodiment of the phrase “age is just a number.” Coming off an emphatic 41 points and 0 turnover performance, the 36-year-old is eyeing his first-ever NBA championship. Interestingly, this is also his first-ever NBA finals appearance in his 16-year career.

Chris Paul is probably the biggest reason for Phoenix’s success. He taught this team how to compete and molded them to become fearless. CP3 has taken this young group and transformed them into fierce competitors while having a fine playoff run himself and is averaging 18 points and almost 9 assists.

Moreover, CP3 comes in with a motive and will do anything to finally win a championship, and this is most probably his best chance at capturing the championship. If Pauls wins Finals MVP in the Bucks vs Suns NBA finals, he will be the 2nd oldest player to do so behind the great Kareem-Abdul Jabbar (37).

Khris Middleton

Khris Middleton of Milwaukee could be the dark horse in these NBA finals. With Giannis injured and no guarantee of him playing in the first few games, Middleton is the next best scoring option. Middleton has the ability to take over a game in the later stages. Even though Middleton may have less than 10 points in the first half, he has the ability to end the game with 30+.

This was evident in Game 6 against the Hawks as he had just 5 points in the first half of the game and ended the game with 32 points. Middleton is the Bucks’ main threat from beyond the arc and they will depend on him to deliver. Moreover, come the 4th quarter, Khris Middleton is the go-to player for the Bucks. He is averaging 23.4 points and 8 rebounds in these playoffs.

If the Bucks win the Finals, Middleton will be one of the favorites to win Finals MVP in the Bucks vs Suns NBA Finals.

Another mention would be the ‘Greek Freak’, Giannis Antetokounmpo, if he is healthy. Giannis has been out since Game 4 of the Hawks series because of a knee injury. However, if Giannis returns to play in the NBA finals, it will be huge for Milwaukee in the finals and he could also be the top pick to win Finals MVP.
