Chris Paul, Devin Booker Land on Top 25 NBA Guard List
There's no denying how good the Phoenix Suns' backcourt of Chris Paul and Devin Booker is.
Paul, dubbed "The Point God" for a reason, has taken over the Valley and propelled a Suns team to the next level with him at the helm. Devin Booker has transformed himself into one of the league's top scorers on a nightly basis.
On Bleacher Report's Top 25 Guards list, both players ranked highly prior to the start of the season:
Chris Paul, Devin Booker Land on Top 25 NBA Guard List
No. 13: Chris Paul
"Predicting where Paul finishes this season is tricky, given the future Hall of Famer will turn 38 in May. For now, he deserves our respect as one of the best floor generals in the league today.
"Paul led the NBA in assists per game last season (10.8) for the fifth time in his career but just the first since 2014-15 when he was a member of the Los Angeles Clippers. He's one of the league's best clutch performers and fadeaway elbow-jumper artists who can still get after it defensively. Perhaps no player understands the game more than Paul at this point, and he will continue to lean on his mental fortitude even more as he enters his 18th season.
—Greg Swartz
No. 5: Devin Booker
"Devin Booker just finished fourth on the MVP ballot, and yet, it still feels like his stardom is being somewhat repressed.
"Not enough appreciation is shown for the bankability of Booker's scoring. There is a reason the Suns unraveled in the second of the playoffs when the Mavericks reformatted their entire defense to harass him. Among 278 players to clear at least 30 touches per game last season, he placed first in points per touch. And he ranked fourth in this same category for 2019-20 and 2020-21.
"There is also an underappreciation for the passes he throws once he gets downhill. The Suns would do well to give him more floor-general reps in the half court—particularly given the state of this year's bench."
—Dan Favale
