Booker is one of the best scoring guards in the NBA, but he has done excellent job of playing a role on a deep Team USA roster.

He is coming off a year where he averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest while shooting 49.2% from the feild and 36.4% from the three-point range in 68 games.

Via Evan Sidery: "Devin Booker has been critical to Team USA’s success in group play:

11.0 points
5.5 assists
1.5 steals
71.4 3PT%
88.4 TS%

Booker also is one of their leaders in plus-minus through exhibition and group action.

A star player fully buying into his low-usage role for team success."
