Last year, Booker averaged 24.9 points and 4.7 assists while shooting 42% from the field. Booker has been an essential piece in the long-term plan to rebuild the Suns and with the announcement of the two parties talking about a long-term contract, it looks like he will continue to take on that role.
Sources: Suns owner Robert Sarver and GM Ryan McDonough are meeting with star guard Devin Booker and his agent Leon Rose to present the framework of his rookie extension contract offer on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Booker is a strong candidate for a max deal.
