Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker got the start in preseason action against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, scoring 19 points with 3 rebounds and 1 assist in 24 minutes of action.
The sophomore guard started next to Eric Bledsoe in the backcourt, while also occasionally serving as the primary ball-handler in a number of halfcourt sets. He appears poised to play a big role for Phoenix this season.
Booker averaged 13.8 points, 2.6 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 27.7 minutes per game as a rookie. He posted an unimpressive 11.9 player efficiency rating and a .535 true shooting percentage that ranked 9th on the Suns last season, but at only 19 years old, he has plenty of room for improvement.
