Devin Booker

McDonald’s All-American Recap: 

This was my first time seeing Booker compete in person. He appears to be a 6-5 shooting guard, with a silky-smooth jump shot, particularly off the dribble. Booker nailed several mid-range jump shots, and did so while creating space against more athletic/bigger players. He repeatedly “beat his man off the dribble, went into the lane, and pulled-up through traffic.”

Again, it was a limited sample size, but it seems like Booker has very high upside. He played under control under pressure, was unselfish moving the basketball, and was effective while being economical in his shot selection. I wasn’t able to gauge Booker’s ability to finish at the basket or play defense, but he stood out with 6-5 size, a strong handle, and the confidence to take—and repeatedly make—pull-up jump shots inside the arc.
