While the sample size is somewhat small, it appears Booker has started right where he left off in last year’s playoffs. He is averaging 29.6 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game on 51/45/92 shooting splits. That’s good for 65% TS. The Suns are also 7-1 when he plays.
With all the (justified) MVP hype KD has been getting as well as games missed early in the season, it’s easy to overlook the fact that Booker is putting up legitimate superstar numbers. Reminder - he only just turned 27.
Man I’ve been watching the suns for ages and even I still get surprised how young booker is.
Feels like he’s been in the league a decade at this point
Well this is his 9th year, so you basically have. It’s pretty sweet how great his careers been so far and he’s just now hitting the age we generally consider prime.
