Devin Booker was almost finished with his introductory news conference on Friday, patiently, confidently, concisely answering one question after another, a performance that belied his age.
At 18, the youngest player in his draft class, the Kentucky guard impressed the Phoenix Suns with a lot more than his sweet jump shot. And he won't turn 19 until Oct. 30.
“You just listened to him for a half-hour answering your questions,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “You think he's an 18-year-old kid? Besides the basketball, that's the stuff that we saw as a young man that could be on our team and be a part of our organization. He's got the maturity of somebody a lot older than that.”
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter's Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
