Suns' Devin Booker Praised as Most Dominant Shooting Guard
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has pieced together quite the resume during his tenure in the NBA.
This past year saw him finish fourth in MVP voting while securing his first All-NBA first team nod. Booker also made an All-Star appearance for the third season in a row. It feels as if he is only gaining traction for what he can do.
He's climbed to the top of the ranks in terms of scoring, and has earned the respect of everyone across the league.
You can add Bleacher Report in that mix, as their recent article that ranked the most dominant NBA players at each position crowned Booker at No. 1 for shooting guards.
Devin Booker Listed as Most Dominant Shooting Guard in NBA
"Booker is almost running unopposed for the 2-guard's top spot at this point. His scoring alone puts him in pole position, while his exponential growth as a shot-creator and defender put serious distance between him and the rest of the pack," said Zach Buckley.
"While his volume has plateaued in recent years, his impact and efficiency have spiked. This past season, which saw the Suns post their highest win total in franchise history, included Booker matching his previous best with a 38.3 three-point percentage while posting a career-low 9.3 turnover percentage. His career-high 0.156 win shares per 48 minutes paced all shooting guards who logged 1,500-plus minutes.
"Booker has impressed opponents with his defensive improvement, and his passing long ago shifted from an afterthought to an asset. He might be a scorer at heart, but rounding out his game has given him sole control of this position."
Booker finished ahead of Donovan Mitchell and Paul George.
