To be a good fit, any point guard playing next to Devin Booker should be able to play strong defense, make the occasional point guard-y play and generally NOT be a ball hog.

Let’s list his point guards of 2017-18 in descending order of awfulness, in terms of their plus/minus when playing next to Devin Booker.

For reference, Devin Booker

  • With Elfrid Payton, a whopping -99 in only 274 minutes and net rating of -16.3 points per 100 possessions (which is roughly the equivalent of a single NBA game)
  • With Eric Bledsoe, -51 in 118 minutes with a -31.
