Big questions heading into the NBA Finals: Will Devin Booker rise on the biggest of stages?

Even though Devin Booker has been great for the Suns during this deep playoff run, he’s coming off a series in which he struggled with his shooting efficiency. In the Western Conference Finals against the LA Clippers, Booker shot 37 percent from the field and was held under 30 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Booker still managed to average 26 points per game in those six games but it’s certainly something to keep an eye on. Especially against a Bucks team that has the defensive stoppers to give Booker more issues.

If the Bucks are going to win this series, PJ Tucker, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton are going to have to give Booker some issues on the defensive end. If they can do that, the entire perception of this series changes.

If Booker has his way with Milwaukee’s defense, this could end up being a very long series for the Bucks. Especially if Giannis isn’t anywhere near 100 percent healthy.
