How Devin Booker scores, creates and defends for the Phoenix Suns, with the All-Star and All-NBA honours behind his role.
Overview
Devin Booker scores from the mid-range off footwork rather than straight-line speed, using shot fakes and jab steps to create separation before rising into a pull-up. At 1.98 m he shoots over smaller guards, and his passing out of pick-and-roll pressure now carries much of the Suns' half-court creation. He defends both backcourt positions without needing to be hidden on that end.
Devin Booker runs the Phoenix Suns' half-court offence as the starting shooting guard, and in the 2025/26 season the ball is in his hands when games tighten. A five-time NBA All-Star, he was named to the All-NBA First Team in 2021 and has been with Phoenix since his rookie year.
