Booker averaged 27.1 points on 49.2/36.4/88.6 shooting splits, a career-best 6.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds across 68 games for the 49-33 Suns.
He finished sixth in the NBA in points per game and 11th in assists. Only Luka Doncic ranked better than him in both of these categories. Booker, Doncic and Jokic were the only players in the top 11 of both of these categories.
Booker, who was named to his fourth All-Star Game this season, has only made an All-NBA team one time in his career. He was named First Team All-NBA in the 2021-22 season.
We will see if he makes his second All-NBA team, which are positionless this season, given this result.
