He’s taken his game to a whole new level as Point Book. Blowing his career high assist per game numbers out of the water. The Suns 7 game win streak started when he returned from injury.
28.2 PER
He’s got a 129 ORTG for the season. Suns are 3-5 when he sits. They are 2-0 when Booker plays without KD or Beal.

probably the best 2nd option the NBA has ever seen. suns are just unfair on offense this year
Magic/Kareem?
Not even on the pantheon list until he wins a title.
Not even better than Kyrie. U must forget what happened in the 2016 and 2017 finals.
Hey, this guy again!
Idk Kobe 2nd option during shaq era would like a word
Magic Kareem, Kobe Shaq, KD Curry, Wade Shaq, LeBron Wade…I’m sure there are a handful more better answers than KD Booker lol
He’s the best player on the Suns
When KD and Booker are both playing the Suns have played through KD at the end of games. Mavs game last year he got the last shot and hit the game winner. Jazz game this year he got the last shot and hit the dagger. Second Jazz 2OT game they played through him drawing an instant double everytime in late 4th and both OT’s, getting open 3 after open 3. That’s a first option
He was, for awhile when Durant was still working out his rust from sitting out most of last year. Playoffs Book was far more efficient and even in the season opener against Warriors, Booker looked much sharper, scoring and dishing at high rate while KD was kind of struggling that first game. However, after Book went down, KD took over and has been on a tear since. You can tell Book is still getting back into it, but when both are healthy, I don’t think they’re that far off.
