From doubt to ninth in the West: Booker breaks doubt with offensive stability and passing

Carry the team alone! In the game against the Clippers, Booker played 37 minutes and made 8 of 19 shots, including 0 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. In the last 5 games, Booker scored 29.4 points and 8.4 assists, with a shooting percentage of 52.3% + 46.2%. So far this season, Booker is averaging 30.2 points, 7.0 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game.

This season he has become more mature and sophisticated in the use of throws.

This season he shot 50.8% from the field and 41% from three-point range. Last season he shot 46.1% from the field and 33.2% from the three-point range. Both statistics this season are career highs. He has become more stable in grasping the offense.

Booker's passing organization ability was criticized before. Before the start of this season, he was not optimistic about the Suns' good performance. One of the reasons is that Booker has not proven that he is an excellent passing organizer. But after the baptism of the first two years, his organizational ability has been greatly improved.

After breaking through to the inside line, feed the cake

After breaking through, the ball can be better found on the outside. Passing the ball to the right position at the right time

These two passes have a bit of "luka magic" feeling. When organizing an offense, vision is a very important thing. When there is a double team or someone misses the defense, it is not easy to see in time and pass the ball comfortably to the open man. Booker has improved a lot in this aspect.

Coupled with the coach's adjustments to the style of play, this season the Suns emphasize playing fast, forcing opponents on the defensive end, and putting pressure on the opponent. The Suns average 10.1 steals per game this season, ranking fourth in the league, while Booker averages 5.7 points per game on turnovers, ranking second in the league.

The offensive stability and improvement in vision and organizational skills have allowed Booker to benefit from such a good performance this season, and he can also bring the starless Suns to the 9th playoff position in the Western Conference. Isn't this a victory?

Looking forward to the Suns and Booker bringing more surprises to everyone!
