Nevertheless, after being named Western Conference Player of the Week, Devin Booker remained humble, crediting it as a “team award.”
Booker explained, “I’d say more importantly, we talked about this morning; it’s a team award. You know, I’ve had much better weeks, been 1-2, 0-3 in the past, and never won it. So, you know, it takes a group to do it all.”
“It’s a team award…I’m happy to be a part of it” – @DevinBook

If Booker were to stay on the pace that he is on so far this season, he would break a career high in points per game, assists per game, rebounds per game, FG%, blocks per game, and FT%.
So, just about every single category
