As one of the best scorers in the NBA, Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker knows he won't always be able to get all the way to the rim or have enough room to shoot a jump shot.

Any time a team is playing the Suns, the entire defensive scheme is going to be game-planned to stop Booker.

When Booker is driving to the basket, opposing centers are going to collapse on him. When he's on the perimeter working the pick-and-roll game, wing defenders are going to trap the Suns' best player to try and get the ball out of his hands.

So, Booker has had to add a wrinkle to his game that a lot of point guards have: The floater.

“That’s the shot that teams want you taking, so it’s going to be the most open shot on the floor,” Booker said, via Kelly Iko of The Athletic. “If you can master it, it’s going to be a problem for the defense.

“A lot of teams put the big back to protect home — you watch Utah, Houston keeping Capela back at the rim. They’re not coming up and not letting another big roll behind them, so you have to take that shot. If you can get that down and get a good rhythm, it’s a money shot.”

The floater is a hard shot to make, but if you can master it, it makes a scorer like Booker pretty much impossible to defend.

Booker is averaging 26.9 points per game this season for the Suns. He ranks seventh in the NBA in scoring.
