With the 13th pick in the 2015 NBA draft, the Phoenix Suns selected Devin Booker out of Kentucky. In an era where star players are regularly traded, Booker has remained loyal to the Suns. All 10 of his professional seasons have been with Phoenix. He is a four-time all-star and has two All-NBA selections. Devin Booker has been a consistent offensive weapon throughout his career with the Suns. Over 10 seasons, Booker averages (24.4) points per game.
In 2024-25, he is averaging (26.1) points, (4.0) rebounds, (6.1) assists, and (1.1) steals per game. It took Devin Booker 642 career games to become Phoenix’s all-time leading scorer. Walter Davis’ previous franchise record was set in 766 games and 359 starts from 1977 to 1988. Devin Booker now owns that piece of franchise history and will continue to add to that number.

After the game on Monday night, Devin Booker thanked the Suns for drafting him and never giving up.
