 | Devin Booker(#1)Height: 6-6 Weight: 206 lbs. Position: Shooting Guard Born: October 30, 1996 in Grand Rapids, Michigan Age Drafted: 19 College: University of Kentucky Source: Basketball Reference |
Strengths
Taken 13th overall Booker has already shown that he should have been a top 5 pick. Great size for a shooting guard with good strength allows him to break through screen and muscle smaller defenders. Lights out shooter, likely the best shooter to come in through the 2015 draft with range beyond the three point line. Uses good hands and strength to take care of the ball, not turnover prone. Great free throw shooter, shooting 84% in his rookie season. Had best times in 2015 combine in agility drills and shuttle runs and is able to use these skills on offense to free up for a shot or on defense to always stay ahead of his man despite his big frame. Good passer. Sneaky good athlete.
Weaknesses
No ability to steal the ball whatsoever. Despite good size will not block shots at the next level. Usually plays below the rim. Not a great rebounder. Has the tendency to settle for a jump shot rather then looking to drive to the hoop. Not aggressive going to the rim.
Notes
Took part in the 3 PT shooting contest on 2016 All Star Weekend in Toronto.
