Now do the same for his game 7 averages
That's just 1 game...
He's also 4th in the NBA in EPM and 3rd in O-EPM.
He's a joy to watch
Booker has looked great. If he can stay healthy, the Suns will go far.
I noticed other comments not understanding that you can use a T-test so I did. Anyway OP nice find.
Besides the fact it’s obvious Devin Booker is having a hot start to his season if you do run a T-test to see if his Points per Game where we assume his current PPG = average PPG over his seasons. Over his entire career and over the past 5 years (I think this is a better representation) both cases give you T-values inside a Rejection Region of the respective degrees of freedom with α=.05. Same goes for ASTs, and Total Rebounds. Unfortunately basketball reference doesn’t have TS% so I didn’t do that one. If you run a linear regression analysis where you take factors of, 3PA, 2PA, FTA when compared to PPG (why did I only choose these 3. I’m lazy) he his above what the predicted model should typically give him. (Yes I did also run F tests to make sure all 3 factors were significant).
TLDR: Devin Booker playing good basketball.
Too much for me, but I’ll give the upvote for the tldr lol
His net rating has been insane this season too. Top 5 in the league, his impact on the game is insane.
Booker is great, KD is great. Can we stop the toxicity.
I mean it’s 8 games
Tack on his last 10 playoff games and these numbers would actually go up
I can't believe he keeps polishing that game of his... Smoothest scorer in the leagoe
The Suns look like a legit team when he’s on the floor. And it’s not just scoring he has that leader presence
Crazy how far he has come both in playmaking and defence
Like first year dude was straight up ass at defence like so ass you assumed he would always be a bad defender, and his playmaking didn't really look that good until the rubio year.
And now he is the pg of a team playing the best defence of his career
They traded all his help for a couple cooked knees, he need to be puttin up these numbers
Man I've been watching the suns for ages and even I still get surprised how young booker is.
Feels like he's been in the league a decade at this point
Well this is his 9th year, so you basically have. It’s pretty sweet how great his careers been so far and he’s just now hitting the age we generally consider prime.
