Devin Booker has been one of the NBA’s best shooting guards for eight years.

Although he has never been among the league’s top five players, he has been extremely consistent and has appeared in four NBA All-Star Games.

Last season, Booker averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game in 68 games, shooting 49.2% of his field goals and 36.4% of his three-pointers.

Recently, NBA legend Kevin Garnett made a bold statement about Booker (via KG-certified h/t NBA Central).

Garnett: “Devin Booker can be an MVP, you know what I mean? Beal, he can be an MVP. These guys have got it, bro.”

Booker is entering his tenth season in the NBA, but is only 27 years old, so he may be in the prime of his career.

His career averages are 24.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 46.4% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range in 598 regular season games.

He has also appeared in 47 NBA playoff games and reached the 2021 finals.

In addition, Booker just finished a summer in which he won his second gold medal with the U.S. national team.

Garnett’s more surprising comment, however, is that he included Beal in this conversation.

The three-time NBA All-Star has had a great career, but given his many injuries and his 31-year-old age, his best years seem to be behind him.

Last season, the Suns were eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
