He's taken his game to a whole new level as Point Book. Blowing his career high assist per game numbers out of the water. The Suns 7 game win streak started when he returned from injury.

28.2 PER

He's got a 129 ORTG for the season. Suns are 3-5 when he sits. They are 2-0 when Booker plays without KD or Beal.

He’s the best player on the Suns

He was, for awhile when Durant was still working out his rust from sitting out most of last year. Playoffs Book was far more efficient and even in the season opener against Warriors, Booker looked much sharper, scoring and dishing at high rate while KD was kind of struggling that first game. However, after Book went down, KD took over and has been on a tear since. You can tell Book is still getting back into it, but when both are healthy, I don't think they're that far off.

When KD and Booker are both playing the Suns have played through KD at the end of games. Mavs game last year he got the last shot and hit the game winner. Jazz game this year he got the last shot and hit the dagger. Second Jazz 2OT game they played through him drawing an instant double everytime in late 4th and both OT’s, getting open 3 after open 3. That’s a first option

Magic Kareem, Kobe Shaq, KD Curry, Wade Shaq, LeBron Wade…I’m sure there are a handful more better answers than KD Booker lol

Not even on the pantheon list until he wins a title.
