- Devin Booker doesn't fit the mold of what a superstar "should be" in the modern NBA, yet he picks apart defenses in ways not many can replicate.

He 100% is one of the best shot makers in the NBA today. Up there with Luka, Kyrie, Steph, kawhi. His game is one of the best I've ever seen, shame he doesn't get that recognition.
As the kids say "that's cap".He scored under 15 pts in game 7 vs Mavs.
@@user-tt1hx2nm4p that's just one game though. You can't use one game to justify a reasoning. That's retarded.
.@@user-tt1hx2nm4p found luka's burner
@user-tt1hx2nm4p I kinda agree. He can be pretty inconsistent that's why he's not up there with them
@@user-tt1hx2nm4pfunny how you nba fans limit devin bookers career to a few games and just completely ignore literally every positive trait about him
he has one of the prettiest game i’ve ever seen
Agreed!
Been watching book for years. Thank you for breaking down his play he has been special to watch as a suns fan
Glad you enjoyed!
Man he NEVER gets the calls others do smh
I probably said this on every dbook Analysis. His jump shot is majestic.
Easily has one of the most aesthetic shots ever.
Nobody remembers but Booker set the shuttle run record at the combine, showing his elite start stop athleticism @@HoopVenue
It's perfect
Book is so under rated. Booker is surgical - Great breakdown! 🏀🔥
Glad you enjoyed!
Book is one of those players that would have been good in any era, he has the old way of scoring, but knows how to score in the new era of the NBA, he just has the solid fundamentals for scoring in a myriad of ways.
Timeless skillset for sure.
Hate/doubt him or not, he helps a lot to save the midrange we all loved.
Facts!
DBook is my favorite player now in the nba, I like his shooting form so much.
One of the most aesthetic players I’ve ever seen, awesome game.
I think Booker is under appreciated because most of the time he doesn’t look particularly amazing as he plays his game. As a Suns fan, I’d say his weakness is his handles.
I’m in agreement there, it’s not that he *can’t* handle well, it’s just that most lead creators either have a more versatile set of moves or are more comfortable dealing with pressure.
Books mid range is so pretty. It's almost as if he floats at the top of his jump shot to get leverage over a defender. Absolutely one of the most gorgeous jump shots I've ever seen.
Imo the best midrange scorers in the NBA are Luka, embiid, d book, KD, can argue jokic, Kyrie, sga, jaleen brunson. I also noticed that if you're an elite mid range scorer, you're usually a great playoff scorer.
Edit: remove Luka and jaleen brunson. The rest are actually truly elite from mid range.
Dont forget kawhi
Kawhi erasure!
Midrange scoring is resillient scoring since playoff defenses often organically give up that shot. And even if they don't, efficient midrange scorers usually are comfortable with shots with a higher degree of difficulty without having a huge dip to their efficiency.
Nah it’s Book Demar Kd embid sga kd..
@@RicoGotcheese I see some people are genuinely unaware that Jokic averaged more than 50% from midrange last season and is around 49% this season on a diet of awkward one footers, floaters and turnarounds
Great vid. Honestly the biggest part of his game is the intensity he plays with. He can lock in and pour in 30 in a quarter
Facts!
@@HoopVenue plus he plays HARD 100% of the time!
what a nice and detailed video, a recognition for my boy. People forget he carried that suns team that went on to the finals and scored b2b 40 points but overshadowed of that Game 7 Dallas series where everybody in the team is off.
You DO NOT want to see DB in a play off series. He's the kind of player that makes the fans of the other team lose faith in their own team. He is a true Kobe disciple.
Facts!
What did I just read? All of this was disproven by Luka a few seasons ago? Shit suns had to apologize to their fans…where was DB then?
@@TheOnlyKontrol Even greats can have a bad game or series. Last year and the finals run were Exhibit A on how good Book is in the playoffs.
@@TheOnlyKontrol”few seasons ago”😂😂😂😂 and he was playing injured btw.
Devin Booker is my favorite player and you showed how elite he is at scoring the ball. Great work! Subscribed
I appreciate this breakdown fr, the book hate is at an all time high he’s a hall of fame shot maker & he’s still only 27
This was incredible breakdown from your own analysis to the actual numbers. Awesome work. Had to sub
He gon win a ring 2024
Yeah, a wedding ring to be gifted by Luka.
Only time will tell!
@@wolfgangamadeus2873 Luka is already one of the least likeable characters in the NBA, no wonder his fans are like this.
Nope. I am a Rockets fan and don't care about neither of the teams/players. Booker started it so just be ready for what's gonna happen if you're a Suns fan.@@legittaco5899
This was really fun to watch. Respect
I really enjoyed this video, great job ❤
This is a great breakdown. Very thorough.
He’s a new old head for sure. I love watching him play especially when he gets hot. Best player in the league imo
best video about Book so far. excellent
Thank you!
Dbook is a phenomenal shooter without a doubt.
Damn, this is all just pure skill. Booker is such a gifted scorer
Bro ngl I hadn’t watched in a while.
However, the research, stats and breakdowns are now top tier.
You’ve earned my subscription
Thank you!!
Love this film breakdown from dbook but also was looking forward to another kentucky wildcat video which would be Bam Adebayo.
Great video bro and its been fun watching booker progress into who he is over the past couple of years. He is one of the best scorers in the league and is ridiculously efficient despite the shots he takes and the offensive load he has to carry. Especially this season with him being the primary facilitator for the team
100% agreed, he seems to take a leap every season!
One of my favorite players honestly
This video was much needed. I been noticing book hit this new level and It’s been over looked due to the fact a lot of other players are also playing at an historic level, but the efficiency with book stands out from everybody in the league except KD, and shai (not counting bigs because of the shot selection difference)
Great video! I was laughing JJJ PLAYING LINEBACKER LMAO
Glad you enjoyed!
more like “breaking the odds,” I appreciate these Devin Booker breakdown videos as a Suns fan not many of these come by too often!!
He needs more recognition for his work he’s dominant and can definitely count on with the right players around him. 💯
I remember in 2018, Booker’s big criticism was that he couldn’t hit pull-up jumpers. The fact that he has that in his arsenal now makes him ELITE.
Loved the vid where would u rank DBook as a scorer in 2024?
Not sure, but definitely close to the top!
This dude reminds me of Kobe sometimes, recently moved to PHX and he is always on TV. Last year's playoff home games against Denver was crazy, no one could stop him, the Suns actually beat Denver into submission in their home games, only wish they would do that on the road...
That move where he puts the defender on his back isn't flashy but it's unstoppable.
Facts! He’s so good at taking away any path to recovery.
Simple moves makes the games hard to read
Definitely learned that one from cp3
@timjohnson6694 he's been doing that since his second year in the league. Maybe learned some tips on how to be better at it from cp, but that was always his go-to coming off the high pick
Crab dribble
Great video on under appreciated booker. Hes in discussion of best players without physical advantage. Meaning no giannis jokic etc but includes curry kyrie etc.
Facts!
Great assessment.
Thanks!
I love his game. Always patient, but knows when to attack hard, just great decision making, scoring and playmaking.
Good shot selection is the key
Can you do a trey young about how manipulate the defense within the pick and roll
Definitely on the list!
Devin Booker PROFESSIONAL SCORER 💯
6:05 THERE HE GOES AGAIN ;)
RIP to whoever that was at 4:00 bro got assassinated by that screen 😂😭
respect that Gonzaga legend
He got cooked lmao
BOOK HIM ;)
love the video, but I feel like there's 5 categories when it comes to finishing not four. Body control is up there and is as important as the others its def a big separator when it comes to finishing ability and many of the best interior finishers have exceptional body control even though they aren't elite in other categories like strength and length.
Shot diet of Latrell Sprewell was lowkey funny😂😂
Had to do it 😭
Why does it feel most people don't like Book.
That's human nature...when someone is rich, famous, good looking with celebrity gf.... Usually stupid and jealous people hate you. LOL
because they dont. people dont like old school non-flashy players. Book is all business all the time. KD is the same way. People love LBJ but hate people like KD and Book. How that makes sense is beyond me.
He’s Kobe on offense minus the elite athleticism , stellar handle and killer mentality…. But that still equals a pretty damn good player !
The most significant thing I notice about his shots? It never gets blocked!
The high release point and midair adjustments make it nearly impossible!
Who do u prefer Booker or Mitchell & why?
Personally Donovan because the amount of clutch in that man’s body should be studied
Tuff one
Bruh I just looked up their numbers and I tell you they are damn near identical. Even their best seasons, with the exception of Book be in the league longer, it's like Spider's got the same trajectory. Shit crazy
@@i_fuze_hostages6 why he stay getting eliminated in the first round then
Booker
Best SG in the league. His game is art.
Define "breaking all the rules"
NBA is my favorite player
i watched it developing at moss point high🤣front row seat busting ass
Proving why midrange still matters
Hes fadeaway form kinda remind me lil bit of kobe
These middys is what I want Kuminga to master. Will literally make him impossible to guard.
Create a wall to stop the drive? doesnt matter. Pull up middy
One on one coverage? Doesnt matter. Too strong and quick
Playing against zone? Doesnt matter. Pull up middy
He’s been going to it a lot more, love to see his growth!
We need him to be the USA’s 6th man of the tournament. His tough shot making is just insane
He's going to start and everyone knows it.
is a beast in 2k
His feet and body control are incredible, and he's sneaky strong
The mid range is still a good tool to have but it’s crazy that even for these elite guys like Booker it’s still less efficient thanthe average shot attempt.
He got the Kobe mid range bag
He didn't have the explosive step, but his technique is real good. Not fancy but lethal. Don't understand why he got so much hate.
He set the shuttle run record at the combine, that's real stop start athleticism
That's human nature...when someone is rich, famous, good looking with celebrity gf.... Usually stupid and jealous people hate you. LOL
Agree with that for sure!
Just imagine if he got the Luka treatment when opponents bump him at the rim.😅
D Book underrated af
Soon to be champion
Only time will tell!
He’s amazing
Mobley, Garland, and a first for book. A man can dream.
Mitchell and Book joining forces after years of beef from the fans 😂
You need more than that for Book. As a Suns fan, I wouldn’t trade him for less than 4 1st Unprotected and 1 All-Star Caliber
Aljon Lacsayao 😊
Too many times 😂
Devin booker has been playing amazing
I have said this so many times when people argue and say he trash like he imo has the deepest bag of anyone in the nba he isn’t Kobe and no one will ever be Kobe but he resembles his very good he is just so hated by many people that they don’t like to talk about him that much
I agree with everything you said except the deepest bag part…. Deepest bag is definitely Kyrie Irving
Devin Booker is a strange player: His handle is good but not great and he’s not crazy athletic. Booker makes up for this with the most skilled mid range and tough shot makers inside the arch in the league. He would average 30 but he likes to pass and isn’t a foul merchant plus he doesn’t like 3s as much as hard middys
Devin Booker is the goat he is the best player in the nba his game mid beautiful and as a suns fanatic
The move at 10:31 would have a been a travel in earlier years, right?
He kept his pivot down, that’s clean!
@@HoopVenue I meant the spin at the start, not when he made the shot.
He shot after jumping off his pivot. Clean
If there is anybody resembling Kobe’s play style in todays nba, it’s Devin booker
What is the background music name? The one at the beginning?
Booker is a new age version of Kobe and ant man is the new mj
what about his defense?
I wonder what it felt like to be Booker mentally after the playoffs. To shoot over 50% from 3 and 80% true shooting, yet have a negative 37 plus minus. It's an underrated skill to be that mentally tough. He literally couldnt play better realistically, got smacked, and just has to train for the following season. Funny to really imagine.
On ball one of the best. Off ball not so good
He was fantastic next to CP3
Not fantastic off ball but he can get the job done, he is certainly more effective with the ball in his hands creating his own shot…. But that’s a testament to how good his scoring versatility is
We need a bron video asap🥰🥰🥰
Three point shots did not become exponential after 2015. Look up what exponential means. The rise was linear then plateaued. This is not exponential growth.
Exponential means increasing rapidly, that’s what happened.
Something can grow exponentially and then slow down again, it’s not infinite.
Phoenix giving everything for book, book gonna get a ring !
Not rn. Nurkic is selling
This is who Kobe wanted to see thrive the most. Not Tatum. It’s crazy but it’s true
I mean his jump shooting philosophy is kind of like Kobe's.
He’s him
So what rule that he breaks?
Just watch the video before you assume someone is "hating"
Aojon Lacsayao
Better offensive player Giannis or Booker?
Book of course but bully ball wins out in a series 8 out of 10 times.
Booker is the more skilled offensively but Giannis is the more dominant offensive player…. It’s like a prime Shaq vs Prime Kobe comparison but to a lesser degree
needs to find easier ways to score.. 3 fga at the rim per 15 drives doesnt cut it in the playoffs
Cmon man d book is just good
He's amazing
People ask me why Batman is my favorite superhero...it's because he's just a human that's just badass...Book is my Batman
Book n kyrie so similar
do a steph curry breakdown 🐐
Definitely need to!
SGA or Book?
Sga
Luka
Book
Booker
Booker. sga needs fta to be lethal. Book can score any way
Booker is carrying kd so hard
It drives me crazy with how much hate Book gets, his efficiency is as good as anybody in NBA history. Hes Kobe but more efficient. If people take time to watch him the resemblance is uncanny
Give this guy handles and he's probably top 5-10 in the current league
