Devin Booker

Booker rose to a new level of offensive dominance last season, registering career highs of 27.8 points and 49.4 percent shooting. He played in just 53 games due to missing over a month of action from December to February with a groin strain, but he closed the season on a big-time hot streak, averaging 30.5 points on 54.1 percent shooting through his final 34 appearances. He topped 50 points twice, with a season-high of 58 on December 17 in a win over the Pelicans. Booker had seven double-doubles on the season, six with points and assists and one with points and rebounds, as he continued to impact the game in many ways and managed to build on his career averages of 4.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. Also notable is Booker's ability to score at the free-throw line, averaging 6.8 attempts per game with 85.5 percent shooting in 2022-23. Looking ahead, the now ninth-year guard will have to adapt to some of the biggest changes of his career, including the departure of his backcourt mate of three years, Chris Paul, and the addition of Bradley Beal, leading to what will likely be a substantially different offensive dynamic heading into 2023-24. Nonetheless, Booker will remain a top option in the offense alongside Kevin Durant, with whom he was able to thrive last season. However, the team's ability to initiate offense without a true point guard could take some time to figure out. The Suns ultimately underachieved in the 2022-23 playoffs, but after their offseason adjustments, Booker and the squad have their sights set on another trek back to the top of the West.
