In the 20 games he has played this season, Booker has averaged a solid 23.8 points per game, shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from beyond the arc. His 35.5 percent from the 3-point line includes the deep balls he heaves from a few feet from beyond the line, making it all the more impressive.
Ever since the Suns acquired veteran guard Chris Paul from the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Suns have become a competitive team in the Western Conference. With a 16-9 record and sitting at fourth in the West, the Suns have a great chance of not only earning a spot in the playoffs but also establishing themselves as a championship contender. Paul along with Booker facilitating the offense will prevent them from having to fight to make it into the playoffs from the very start.
Booker, a player who has proven that he is one of the most dangerous offensive players in the league, will continue to put on a show for Suns fans and let it fly from all parts of the court.
