Devin Booker’s rookie contract is up after next season and the 21-year-old shooting guard would look to receive a five-year deal worth around $156 million under the rookie extension scale. The numbers are around the same ballpark as players such as Philadelphia 76ers’ center Joel Embiid and Minnesota Timberwolves’ guard/forward Andrew Wiggins.
Considering the former has questions about his health and the latter has been underwhelming, the looming Booker deal is good with all things considered. Especially while factoring in his improvement over the past season. The Phoenix Suns’ investment in Booker’s high upside should pay off.
