The Brooklyn Nets star revealed in a tweet this week the participant he believes ought to win MVP this 12 months: Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker.
Booker is mostly not thought of to be within the dialogue for MVP. For now, it seems to be a three-man race with Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo vying for place. Boston’s Jayson Tatum has additionally been making a late push for consideration.
Granted, Booker is the main scorer for the 60-14 Phoenix Suns, the most effective staff within the NBA this season by a big margin. Whereas Booker’s comparatively modest numbers (26.three factors, 5.1 rebounds and 5.zero assists a sport) usually are not as spectacular as these of the aforementioned front-runners, Irving believes Booker makes a powerful case. Booker himself additionally just lately defined why he thinks he ought to be thought of.
