If last season was any indication, Devin Booker is constantly reupping and taking his game to the next level. Still younger than Donovan Mitchell and Ben Simmons, Booker averaged nearly 25 points per game on really good efficiency last season before going down to injury.

This he did while being the focal point of opposing defenses' attention every single game on a Suns team shorn of any talent on either end of the floor - one that finished dead last in both offensive and defensive efficiency.

Booker will now play with veterans like Ariza and Ryan Anderson and No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton in the starting lineup.

The Suns' bench will be buoyed by the likes of TJ Warren and Josh Jackson, although it is unclear who will start at the point guard role.

Booker is more than capable of playing as a combo guard as he demonstrated last season. The youngest 70-point scorer in NBA history is only just getting started in this league. Expect him to be a stellar scorer before long and worthy of the max contract he has right now.
