Let’s not be foolish here: Devin Booker is All-Star caliber, the best player the Suns have had since Steve Nash, and a superstar in the making.

Booker is having a career year, yet doesn’t seem to think that he is anywhere near where he wants to be.

That is amazing.

I really don’t know what to say at this point about his season thus far. His level of consistency has improved exponentially, he is an efficient scorer, and is not just an outside shooter. This season he has even improved his post-up game.

I could literally make up a couple of negatives like “he’s not an MVP candidate,” but that’s not his fault, and I guarantee you that someday he will be.

Midseason Grade: A
