This season, Devin Booker is averaging 28.2 points per game, ranking him 7th in the NBA. Additionally, he ranks 2nd among shooting guards.
If Booker were to stay on this pace in the 2nd half of this year’s campaign, he would average a career-high in assists and points.
Most recently, to end a successful January, Booker went on a three-game tear where he averaged just above 50 points per game. As a result, he was awarded the Western Conference Player of the Month title.
Booker will join his teammate Kevin Durant for the All-Star game on February 18th.
