”I'm Watching Every Step of Kevin Durant”: Devin Booker is Still a 'Student of the Game' Learning From His Idol Closely

Fans of the Phoenix Suns have been waiting for a long time to finally see Kevin Durant in a Suns jersey. Sure, he has officially been a part of the franchise for some time now, but nothing can replace watching him on the court. And against the Hornets, it finally happened.

Durant played 27 minutes, recording 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks while shooting 66.7% from the field, and 50% from beyond the arc. A very good debut, to say the absolute least. And apparently, Devin Booker agrees with that notion completely.

After the game, Kevin Durant was asked to sit down with the media, where he was asked about his new teammate. And suffice it to say, the man couldn’t stop singing his praises.
