The franchise cornerstone and a three-level scoring savant, Booker put up 26.1 a night on 58.5% true shooting and dished 6 assists as a primary creator. He gets to the line at an elite clip and knocks down 87% once there; the catch is a rebuilt, lower-efficiency season from deep (33%) and the same indifferent defense that's always been his cost of doing business.
