PHOENIX SUNS: Devin Booker now ranks second all-time in Suns history for points scored.
Devin Booker came one point shy of the club record for most points scored in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night’s victory over the Sacramento Kings.
In Suns history, Booker has now eclipsed Alvan Adams for the second-most points scored overall. Booker finished with 25 points last night, bringing his career total to 13,918. Adams, a Suns player from 1975 to 1988, finished his career with 13,910 points.
Difficult to express, particularly after losing Alvan,” Booker remarked. “I hold great regard for him; he has been involved in this organization not only as a player but also as a facility manager, constantly lending a helping hand.” Huge props to Alvan for his presence, which has been there from the start.
In the history of the team, only the legendary Walter Davis (15,666 lifetime points) has amassed more points than Booker.
With 988 games played, Adams has played in the most games in Suns history. Booker has played the tenth most, with a total of 574 games, while Davis is next with 766.
Suns coach Frank Vogel stated, “It was just a matter of time.” “Booker is the finest scorer this team has ever had, really. Before long, he will hold the record as the all-time leader. This city and this team are really fortunate to have him and to be able to witness him 41 times a night in this arena in addition to the playoffs. He has a special talent. really fortunate.
Players like Kevin Durant are drawn to Phoenix mostly because of Booker. Vogel was in agreement with Durant.
About Booker, Durant remarked, “just a savant of the game.” “The effort he puts forth is evident every night during game nights, and he motivates a whole generation of gamers.” With the effort he’s put in, he deserves to be the Suns’ all-time top scorer, so I can’t wait for the day when he reaches these milestones, which is actually what I anticipate him to achieve at this point. As a rookie, he got right into it and hasn’t looked back. And for the residents of Phoenix, Arizona, it holds immense significance.
