On Wednesday, the NBA released the 2023 All-NBA rosters. But, on the rosters, not a single Suns’ player appeared, not even SG Devin Booker.

Since Booker did miss a considerable number of games due to injury, it was expected that he would not be included on the All-NBA First Team. However, given Booker’s performance while healthy, his absence from the third or even second team seems pretty questionable.
Booker averaged a career-high 27.8 points per game, which would put him in the top-10 in the league. Additionally, Booker averaged 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, ranking him in the top 15 among shooting guards.
While the selections do not take playoff performances into consideration, based on what Booker has done so far this postseason, it is just hard to imagine him not on any of the NBA’s All Team rosters.
As expected, fans reacted accordingly to the “snub” after Booker wrapped up arguably the best regular season of his career.
Devin Booker not making All-NBA is wild.

Do you believe that Devin Booker deserved to be on an All-NBA roster?
