Devin Booker

Talk about a heart throb, fans love Devin Booker and he has the heart of thousands of girls in the Big Blue Nation. Booker will likely go top 10, I’m hopeful he’ll slide to the nine spot and end up the Charlotte with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, another favorite from the Wildcats. I think the combo of the two would be solid for the Hornets. Teams who pass on him will likely regret it, he knows the role of a team player, isn’t afraid to come off the bench and isn’t afraid to shoot the ball. He has one of the best jump shots and three-point shots I have ever seen. This draft isn’t full of strong shooters, so that gives Booker an upside over some, but it’s where he played and what he learned that will give him the biggest boost. He can share time and still put up solid numbers. He’ll be a quick fan favorite, too, wherever he ends up. I also predict he’ll have a solid career in the NBA, too. Although, I do believe he would’ve stayed if he had the choice, but turning down being a top 10 pick is silly. Big Blue Nation will be behind him too, pulling for him to get drafted in the top 10.
