Jayson Tatum's Comment / August 20

Booker is coming off a season where he averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest while shooting 49.2% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point range in 68 games.

Many people took notice of his ability to play a lesser role and still have a major impact.

Via Ben Golliver of The Washington Post on August 10: "USA's Steve Kerr at the end of his press conference: "Devin Booker is an incredible basketball player. Nobody asked about him. He was our unsung MVP. I just wanted to say that.""
