2. Devin Booker

The best way to describe Devin Booker is to call him a pure scorer. He has a wide array of offensive moves that he uses every night to rack up buckets. At only 22 years of age, Booker became the fourth youngest player to reach 3,000 career points and he is rapidly shooting up that list.

This season, Booker is averaging 24.4 points per game on 7.5 attempts from the 3-point line a night. He has a beautiful jump shot and is one of the best shooters in the league when he gets hot. However, he is inconsistent as he shoots a very poor 31.8 percent from deep.

Despite this, he attempts the 37th most 3-pointers in the league and has had two different games this season in which he connected on 6+ from beyond the arch.

It is obvious that Booker is trying to imitate Curry’s 3-point shooting, but has failed to make it a consistent part of his game. This is likely due to the fact that Booker simply plays on a team that asks him to do everything offensively. Meaning, Booker will have a high usage rate and a lower efficiency.
