Devin Booker likely to break insane record in 2024-25

Few players in the NBA had as good an offseason as Devin Booker. Not only did his "I'll Do It" movement while being the role player Team USA needed to win gold at the Olympic Games seriously take off, in his spare time he was also hiding pairs of his latest signature shoe around Paris.

There was some much needed time off after securing his second gold medal - Booker recently took in the New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces matchup - while former teammate Cameron Payne was in town to hang out recently. Now somehow heading into his 10th season in the league, it feels like the time is now for Booker to move into rarified air.

He can do just that when he likely breaks the Suns' all-time scoring record at some point next season.

To be even entertaining this at such a young age is a testament to the amazing scorer that Booker is, and his 14,529 points already has him second to the great Walter Davis (15,666) in Suns' history. But there is every reason to believe that sometime after the All-Star break - assuming he keeps up the pace he's set - Booker is going to stand alone in Valley history.

Booker needs to score 1,138 points next season to make the record his own - and while that number is going to come sooner rather than later anyway - the fact he'll be able to do that having played around 715 games (regular season and playoffs) is remarkable. He has also never scored less than the amount needed in his career, except for his rookie season, and even that was close (1,048).

Interestingly, in trying to take this record Booker is also going to extend another one that is already his. Unsurprisingly, he is the franchise leader in 3-pointers attempted, at 3,473. You can bet he'll be taking plenty of shots from deep as he tries closes in on the number that Davis has held for so long.

Adding to Booker's arsenal will be a pair of point guards in Tyus Jones and Monte Morris - who will want to get him the ball at every opportunity - and an incredibly supportive superstar teammate in Kevin Durant. The perfect combination for Booker to make this record his own, before blazing off into the distance with it.

Assuming he remains in Phoenix for years to come yet, it is hard to see this record been taken from Booker anytime soon either. Once he's achieved this - and if it can lead to the Suns ultimately winning a championship - then his status as the greatest player in franchise history will be secure. As things stand he's got a pretty great case as it is. Surpassing Davis will be the latest stop on that path.
