Devin Booker has already hit many career milestones and accomplishments throughout his short NBA career, but could MVP be next for his taking? Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer labeled the young Sun a sleeper to finish atop the 2018-19 MVP race.
O’Connor began his piece touching on the improvements Booker has shown throughout his first three seasons. He has consistently improved in each of the three key statistics (points, rebounds and assists) in every year of his career.
If 2017-18 wasn’t considered Booker’s breakout season, O’Connor believes that this coming year could be.
“Last season, Booker became only the 11th player to average over 24 points before turning 22 years old,” O’Connor said.
