Can Devin Booker play enough to maintain his recent scoring tear?
If healthy (which at the moment is a big if with his strained right wrist), the Devin Booker score watch will be one of the few absolute fun things to pay attention to.
From February 14 through March 10, Booker had averaged a blazing 31.0ppg with 5.1rpb and 3.9apg. Staggering numbers for a 21-year-old. Then he hurt his wrist and after missing a game against the Charlotte Hornets has not been the same player as before against the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors and scored a combined 29 points in those outings.
He then sat out the game against the Detroit Pistons.
What to watch for is whether or not he plays, and if he does, how many points he can score on his way out of this miserable season.
When Booker does play, be sure to check out the Valley of the Suns’ twitter page (@valleyofthesuns) after every game where I update his exact place in the all-time scorers list, including who he passed in scoring that day alone.
