Trae Young says Devin Booker’s success story is the best he’s heard on an in-home visit

Devin Booker’s success story is one of the best of the John Calipari era. Back when Booker committed to Kentucky in October 2013, he was considered only a Top 25 player and the eighth best shooting guard in his class by 247 Sports Composite; however, it quickly became apparent that Booker was much, much better than that. Even though he planned on being at Kentucky for more than one season and averaged only 10 points per game in the platoon system, Booker impressed scouts so much that he left Kentucky a lottery pick, and is now considered one of the top 100 players in the NBA.
