My Take
Devin Booker earned my respect the hard way. He came off the bench at Kentucky, slid to thirteenth in the 2015 draft, and then spent years scoring beautifully for Phoenix teams that gave him little back. Plenty of young stars demand trades in that situation; Booker just kept refining one of the smoothest mid-range games in modern basketball. I think of him as a throwback craftsman in an analytics era that distrusts his favorite shot, which makes his success feel almost defiant. Loyalty, patience, and an immaculate jumper: that combination is rarer in today's NBA than raw talent.
