Devin Booker ready to help Tyty Washington Jr. | NBA

Sixth man on Kentucky’s undefeated 2014/15 regular season superteam, Devin Booker has since come a long way. A talented but restrained scorer in college, the back quickly exploded in the NBA. Seven years after his Draft, in 13th position by Phoenix, he is a three-time All-Star, NBA finalist, Olympic champion and leader of a franchise that flies over the season.

Over his years in the league, Devin Booker has witnessed the arrival of other Kentucky alumni to the NBA. Very quickly friends with Tyler Herro for example, when the latter was a Wildcat during the 2018/19 season, he willingly accepts this role of mentor. ” I’m not necessarily close with all the Kentucky alums, but there’s definitely a sense of brotherhood between all of us, we all know the experience of playing there.

“He knows I’m there if he needs to ask me a question”

In recent months, it is with Tyty Washington Jr, the current “freshman” leader of Kentucky, expected in the Top 15 of the next Draft, that the rear has become friends, and it is through the social networks they contacted.

I contacted him through Instagram, two weeks ago I think explained Devin Booker earlier in January. ” Then the next game, he hurt his ankle, so I checked on him. I haven’t seen him play much, but I was briefed on his style of play and watched some highlights, so I know now. That’s a hell of a talent. I can’t wait to get to know him, he knows I’m there if he needs to ask me a question.

For Tyty Washington Jr, who still hasn’t had the opportunity to meet Devin Booker in person, it’s an honor, and one of the privileges of playing in Kentucky.

It was a big moment for me, because I saw him play in Kentucky when I was younger, and I’ve been watching him in the NBA ever since. It’s crazy. Since his year in Kentucky, then during his first years in Phoenix, I watched him, I tried to copy his shot. […] What I really like about him is his mentality. No matter who is in front of him, his mentality never changes, he wants to win.

Author of a season with 12.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists, in 25 games so far, Tyty Washington Jr. is therefore the youngest in a line of scoring backs trained in Kentucky before exploding in the NBA these last years. Like Jamal Murray, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Maxey, De’Aaron Fox, Immanuel Quickley, or even obviously Devin Booker before him, the young leader hopes to explode in broad daylight once installed in the pros.
