35. Devin Booker, C, Bayern Munich
Nationality/College: American (Clemson)
2017-18 stats: 12.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists per game (Bayern Munich)
Career synopsis: Undrafted in 2013, Booker jumped to France, where he played for three years, winning a French Pro A title and league MVP with Chalon in 2016. He’s been with Bayern for the past two seasons, and was All-Eurocup First Team last year. He’s played Summer League twice, most recently in 2016 with the New York Knicks.
Representative Highlight Play:
What’s his skill set?: A fantastic rim-runner, Booker is another strong pick-and-roll dive man. He’s also a strong team defender, like teammate Milan Macvan, and helps form the core of Bayern’s consistently strong defense.
What makes him special?: This isn’t the Suns phenom — it’s Trevor Booker’s brother, who has quietly become one of the more dependable big men at the Eurocup level. His calling card is his strength, as he’s able to finish through contact and battle with Europe’s much bigger centers consistently and effectively on both ends. He also rivals Gist in terms of in-game dunking prowess. In what will be his first Euroleague season, the 27-year old should assert himself as one of the most fun Euroleague centers to watch.
