NBA Players of the Week: Devin Booker and Jannis Adetokunbo dominated the floor

In the Western Conference of the NBA, the Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker was the best this past week, scoring a fantastic 42 points per game! The Eastern Conference was dominated by Jannis Adetokunbo of the Milwaukee Bucks. He was nearly reaching double digits in the three most important stats.

In the Western Conference, Devin Booker

Last week, this award was taken by Booker’s teammate Kevin Durant. This time, the best player was again a Suns player, namely Devin Booker. This is the second time this award has been given to him this season. Booker was clearly the best scorer of the competition in the period under review.

He had a fantastic shooting average of 42 points per game, plus a respectable 5 rebounds per game. However, he also had a very high shooting percentage from the field, which was 63.9 percent.

If we take into account that he converted on average every other 3-point shooting attempt, there is no doubt about the best player in the West.

However, out of four games, the Phoenix team won only two games. His most audacious game came in his second-best shooting performance of his career, when he scored 62 points, but the Suns lost by two points to Indiana.

However, the Durant – Booker partnership is fully working again and it’s only a matter of time before the Phoenix team goes on a winning streak.
