Devin Booker has been one of the best shooting guards in the NBA for the past eight years.
He’s never been a top-five player in the league, but he’s extremely consistent and has appeared in four NBA All-Star Games.
Last season, Booker averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three-point range in 68 games.
Recently, NBA legend Kevin Garnett made a bold statement about Booker (via KG certified h/t NBACentral).
Garnett: “Devin Booker can be an MVP, you know what I mean? Beal, he can be an MVP. Those guys, they got it, man.”

Booker is entering his tenth NBA season, but he’s only 27, so he may be at the prime of his career.
His career averages are 24.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game, while shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from three-point range in 598 regular-season games.
He also appeared in 47 NBA playoff games and reached the 2021 Finals.
Additionally, Booker is returning from a summer where he won his second gold medal with Team USA.
On the other hand, Garnett’s most surprising comment is that he brought Beal into this conversation.
The three-time NBA All-Star has had a great career but appears to be on the verge of passing his prime as he has dealt with injuries and is 31 years old.
Last season, the Suns were eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
