Devin Booker’s Career

Devin Booker demonstrated his exceptional athletic ability while in high school. In August 2011, Devin scored 17 points in the fifth game of the season against ‘Gulfport High School.’ His total score was higher than that of the rest of his team. Devin’s play improved over time, and his father soon announced that he had been contacted by a few “NBA” teams interested in acquiring Devin.

His college basketball experience would shape the NBA star’s future as a star basketball player. Devin announced his acceptance to the ‘University of Kentucky’ during a ‘Moss Point High School ceremony in October 2013. His first season at the university ended with an average of ten points, and he was confident of earning a respectable spot in the upcoming ‘NBA draft. Devin decided to forego his remaining college years in April 2015 and enter the ‘NBA draft.

The ‘Phoenix Suns selected him as the 13th overall pick in June 2015. Devin averaged more than 15 points per game in his first seven ‘Summer League games, proving his worth. He made his professional ‘NBA’ debut against the ‘Dallas Mavericks two days before his 19th birthday. 

The point guard has remained a one-team player to this point, as he continues to play for the Phoenix Suns, the team that drafted him in 2015. Booker entered the league as the 13th overall pick and quickly established himself as a star. After a string of 30-point games, Booker finished fourth in the Rookie of the Year voting. Booker made significant strides during his sophomore season, and several legends in the game praised his scoring ability.

When he did so against the Boston Celtics in 2017, at the age of 20, Booker became the NBA’s youngest player to score 60 and 70 points in a game. His record-breaking ability was immense, and in July 2018, the Suns strengthened their relationship by offering him a five-year, $158 million contract.

During the 2018-19 regular season, Devin averaged 26.6 points per game, but it wasn’t enough to get the Suns into the playoffs. In the following season, he had a similar scoring performance. Still, this time was different because the 2019/20 regular season was halted and restarted in a closed bubble due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Devin Booker’s Early Life

The couple did not marry, but they remained friends.

The player was born and raised in Grandville, Michigan, a suburb of Grand Rapids. He spent his summer vacations in Moss Point, Mississippi, with his father, a town with a large black population. For young Devin, this was a significant culture shock, but he handled it admirably. Devin’s father’s lifestyle influenced him greatly as he grew up.
