Scoring average

If I’ve predicted it once, I’ve predicted it a hundred times: Devin Booker may average as many as 25 points per game this coming season.

Even if he does not reach that specific number, I see no reason why he won’t break last year’s career-high of 22.1. He’s going to be counted on to carry the brunt of the offensive weight once again, and should he improve on his abysmal field goal percentage, while possible upping his average shot attempts per game, getting to a minimum of 22.1 per game and passing that, shouldn’t be a problem.
