10. Can Devin Booker average ten three’s attempted per game? Knowing that Steph Curry averaged over eleven per game last year, is ten even that crazy a number to contemplate anymore?
The short answer is yes: Book can average ten three’s attempted per game. However, the greater question is: is it likely?
The answer to that is whether the Suns’ new motion offense allows it, and how big of a scoring threat Coach Watson is planning on making Booker.
Last year, in 51 games started, Book attempted more than 10 three’s three times in a single game. However, he shot 8+ nine additional times and in those 51 starts, averaged just under 5 three’s attempted per game.
Now, it is safe money that Booker will be the focal point of the offense and will very likely lead the team in scoring this season. If so, and if he is expected to generally stay around the perimeter, his three-point shooting could rise considerably, and the chance, and opportunity to average at or near ten three’s attempted per game, is not out of the realm of possibility.
