Devin Booker has definitely staked his claim as one of the top shooting guards in the league. Unfortunately, he is one of the only bright spots on a very young Phoenix Suns team. Booker averaged 22.1 points per game. As a pure scorer, Booker has established his niche in the NBA.

Booker played at Kentucky during the 2014-2015 season. While at Kentucky under John Calipari, Devin was apart of the 38-1 team that made an incredible run at an undefeated National Title. The Wildcats fell short of the opportunity when Wisconsin spoiled the party in the Final Four.

Devin Booker could help this Kentucky Alumni team in the scoring column more than anything. He is able to get open looks and put the ball in the basket from long range. An athletic frame that can guard the perimeter would allow for him to be successful on this Kentucky Alumni squad on their way to an NBA Title.
