Devin Booker has had a really nice start to his career but doesn't get a ton of attention because he isn't in a big media market and the Phoenix Suns just aren't a very good team.
But via research done by /u/MambaOut8 on Reddit he has been one of the most efficient young players ever.
Only 4 players (Durant, Jordan, LeBron, Shaq) have scored more and more efficiently than Devin Booker at 21 years old or younger.
One thing to note about these stats is that he is only averaging 34.5 minutes per game which is lower then what any of those other four guys averaged, but his stats have still been impressive.
So far in his young career, he is averaging 19.8 points, 3.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game. This year those numbers have really improved putting up 25.2 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game.
He has also been putting his name in the record books. Just a couple of games back he became the third youngest player in NBA history to reach 4,000 career points.
The one disappointing thing for Booker though is that the Suns are just too young and the results on the court haven't resulted in wins. They are currently sitting with a 19-47 record which is the second-worst record in the Western Conference.
Although the results haven't been there with wins and losses, it's pretty clear that Devin Booker is going to be good, and if the Suns surround him with good and the right talent not only will his game improve, so will the Suns, and they could start to be a contender in the Western Conference.
