Suns: Booker needs to improve his shot + foul, hoping to average 30 points per game to consolidate his position as a top scorer

Suns Duane Rankin posted a message that this season may be the season for Booker to break his personal career average score record. Since he has to undertake most of the scoring tasks of the Suns, his average score per game is expected to increase significantly.

Book is the Suns' well-deserved team leader, best player and cornerstone of team building. With Durant being traded to the Rockets and Bills being bought out and then transferred to the Clippers, the Suns' "Big Three" lineup no longer exists, and Booker has lost his top teammates who can share the offensive pressure.

Last season, Booker averaged 25.6 points per game, 18.9 shots per game (including 7.3 three-point shots, a career high), and the ball rights usage rate was 28.5%.

Rankin analyzed that if he wants to achieve the goal of 30 points per game, Booker needs to make adjustments in many aspects: first, the number of shots per game must reach at least 20 times; second, more fouls must be used to increase free throw opportunities; second, more three-point shooting percentage must be improved; at the same time, in the new offensive system of new head coach Jordan Ultra, more opportunities to score easily must be created. Creative tactics such as back-cutting, running without the ball, and using covers to get out may create more opportunities for Booker to take off; the Suns currently lack a real point guard, which also means Booker needs to bear heavier dual responsibilities for organization and offense.

Rankin believes that as long as the above adjustments are made, Booker will have a chance to achieve his goal of 30 points per game, and at the same time lead the Suns, which have a brand new lineup, to advance. In the process of carrying the team's offensive banner, he will further consolidate his position as the "leading scorer in the league".
