NBA fans 30 years from now are going to look back on this season and wonder who the heck Devin Booker was and how the heck he managed to average 20 points a game over the whole year. I mean, there will definitely be people who know who he was and remember his game, but how many of you guys know about Xavier McDaniel or Terry Cummings (Bucks legend Terry Cummings)?
Man, looking at this list of 20-point scorers from the 86-87 season is blowing my mind. Dale Ellis with 25 a game? Reggie Theus was a baller. Believe that. Joe Barry Carroll averaged 21 and probably didn’t try for even a single one of the buckets he scored. Damn. Rookie Ron Harper with 23 a game? How did I not realize he was that good once upon a time?
Anyway, if The Booker Report keeps up his scoring for the whole year, that’s gonna make for great trivia for future NBA fans. Last year it was Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe somehow scoring 20 for the Suns, this year it’s Bledsoe and Booker while Knight has been so garbage it’s almost sad.
