He's one of the greatest under 21 year olds of all time. That about sums it up at this point.

Didn't Derrick Rose win MVP at like 22? Booker just needs to get that next season and we're good.

30/6/5. Let's do this. Finals MVP is the cherry on top.

Thankfully Booker doesn't live and die by his athleticism. Indication of a player that will last many years.

This summer, young Devin Booker, still just 20 years old, plans to take more of a leadership role in getting guys to work together all summer rather than going their separate ways. Watson and Bledsoe are still around and still the teams overall leaders, but Booker wants to take a role as well.

And Booker means on a daily basis.

“We have a lot of gym rats, but we have to take our craft seriously this summer,” Booker said after the season ended.

“It needs to be more as a unit, all of us young guys get in the gym together. Not individual times. Being here together. I think that builds a chemistry that shows on the floor.”

“It depends on us young guys,” he said. “We can’t keep making the same mistakes. We got a lot of experience. Next year, we will be ready.”

Booker knows he’s the leader of the young guys, and that he is being positioned as the face of the franchise.

“Being the face of a franchise brings a lot of responsibility,” he said when asked about the pressure. “But I think I’m built for it. I’m on the right path, but I have a lot lot lot more to go.”

Booker was asked about his 70-point game (more than any player in 11 years), his two game-winning shots (more than any player in the league this season) and his natural scoring abilities. His resume is already stacked before being old enough to buy adult beverages. But he brushed that aside after making the obligatory “I never set a limit on my game” response.

“It’s good individual accomplishments,” he said. “But I’m here to be a winner. To turn around the franchise and turn us back into where it used to be and that’s winning a lot of games.”

How does he plan to do that?

“Coming in with a defensive mindset,” he said. “1. Leadership, 2. I need to be more vocal. Be the leader of the young group.”

Booker knows the fans are itching to see more wins. So is he.

“We are all edgy. We are all competitive,” he said. “Same thing with the fans here. We owe it to them to turn it around.

“We have some pressure on us, but it’s a good pressure. We need to get back to that fiery, competitive, want to win every game attitude.”
