I won't pick another team, but I will find something else to do when they play.

She recognized his mural when we went to the Mercury game (yea, I know). She picked up on me liking him and ran with it herself....so cool. Told me one day that a kid at her school looked like Devin Booker (lol).

I know the Suns read this site more than any other site on the internet because we are the smartest and most loyal posters around, so don't let my little lady down Sarver.

All the girls love DBook. He is the Justin Bieber of basketball.

True. I gotta get her a pic with him.

"Yeah I know" ??

I took my little one to back to back Mercury games and a buddy of mine gave me a hard time, so just in case someone says "ugh, a Mercury game," I get it, it might not be cool in some fans eyes.

Showing your daughter that girls can become elite athletes like their male counterparts is beyond cool, it is empowering. The Phoenix organization does a tremendous job at those games. Hope it was a good experience.

It was fantastic. The mascot picked her up during the game and placed her in another woman's lap. I caught a shirt for her, and she shot a free throw on the court after the game. She loved it.

I agree with you on the example of women empowerment. Some Dudes can be so sexist sometimes it's scary.

Booker is looking in tip top form. This year 3 jump might be something special. This was with Kyle Anderson and Danny Green guarding him.

It looks idiotic IMHO.

Anyone else bellieve that Book will lead the league in scoring at some point in his career? I'm admittedly a huge homer but I dont think it is that far off.

I definitely think he is capable of it. Offensively, he's already scary at 20, and he's only going to improve, so I think he definitely has the potential to win 1 scoring title in his prime at minimum. But I wouldn't be surprised if he wins a few.

I'd prefer he lead the league in efficiency, but I'd take both.

Thinking if Peter Jok is his backup it's going to be tempting to play Booker 35+ minutes like Lowry, Harden types.

I hope we don't burn him out at 20.

ESPN ranks Book 60th just ahead of Carmelo and just barely ahead of BBB douchenozzle's son. ESPN sucks at sports.

Just came here to mention that.......he drops 14 spots from last year's rankings. He ranks behind Brogdon and only 3 spots ahead of Lonzo Ball.

60. Devin Booker

Last year's rank: 46

2017-18 projected RPM: -1.6

Stats & Info: Only four players in NBA history -- LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Shaquille O'Neal and Kyrie Irving -- averaged more points as a 20-year-old than Booker did last season as he pumped in 22.1 points per game. Despite the historic scoring for a player his age, Booker actually slipped 14 spots in our rankings. If you're wondering why, defense is a good place to start. Booker ranked near the bottom among shooting guards in Defensive Real Plus-Minus last season.

ESPN deserves no coverage. I'm tired of their trash "reporting" and political discussions. I'll be streaming every game I want to watch to not give them ad revenue.
They're clearly making click bait level articles to manufacture controversy and news discussion.

When will Booker hit 8,000 career points?
