2015 NBA Draft: Devin Booker (SG; Fr; Kentucky)
3. Devin Booker
Latest Rumors: PHOENIX
Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Kentucky / Freshman 10.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 1.1 apg
How impressed were scouts in Booker this year? Some felt he was the Kentucky Wildcats' best long-term prospect. He had a solid freshman season and flashed a lot of upside with his outside shooting and feel for the game. He hit the freshman wall, and he's considered a prospect with better long-term than immediate potential. He has some defensive and foot speed concerns, but he's an underrated leaper. Booker had excellent measurement, proving ideal size for the shooting guard position. He projects as a prototype shooting guard, and while comparing him to a player like Klay Thompson is probably being overly optimistic, there are some parallels between their games. If he performs well shooting in front of teams in workouts, he could solidify a spot here in the late lottery range.
