Devin Booker

Devin Booker is a professional American basketball player who plays for the ‘National Basketball Association’ (NBA) team ‘Phoenix Suns.’ He was born to famous basketball player Melvin Booker. He was raised in Grand Rapids, where he lived with his half Mexican–American and half Puerto Rican mother while his father played professional basketball internationally. His parents never married and Devin visited his father only during his summer holidays. The father–son duo practiced basketball together whenever they could. This made young Devin develop a keen interest in the game. After performing brilliantly for his high-school team, he joined the ‘University of Kentucky’ and played with them for a year. In 2015, he was drafted by the ‘Phoenix Suns’ as their 13th overall pick and made his debut with them in the 2015–2016 season. After his first season with the ‘Phoenix Suns,’ he finished at the fourth spot in the race for the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award. He was honored by being included in the ‘NBA All-Rookie First Team.’ In March 2017, Devin became the youngest player ever to score 70 points in a single ‘NBA’ game. He continued to perform well for his team and sealed his place as one of the key players in the squad.
