The Suns star is convinced that he is a much better player than what the NBA All-Star voting tells.
Devin Booker completely acknowledges the structure of the NBA's All-Star voting.
Yet in the end, he remains fully confident that his game speaks louder than any player ranked above him.
“I see it, but at this point, it’s expected,” Booker said, via Arizona Central's Duane Rankin.
“It’s fan voting. There are some super big market teams. There are guys from different countries that have a whole country behind them. I kind of understand the process, but am I playing better than a lot of guys? For sure, but that’s not the setup.”
Garnering 232,075 votes, Booker was placed at No. 17 in the previous release of the second fan return voting for the Western Conference.
Booker has led the Suns to an unforeseen success this year. After the disappointments from the past two seasons with Kevin Durant at his side, Booker carried Phoenix to a 24-15 record heading to Tuesday's matchup against the Miami Heat.
They are currently 6th in the West and are just 3.0 games away from making it as high as the No. 2 seed.
The four-time All-Star appeared in 36 games so far this 2025-26. He is averaging 25.3 points in 45.8 percent shooting while dishing out 6.4 assists.
Regardless of what might be the final result of the All-Star voting, Booker remains focused on stacking wins with the Suns.
“I’ve also not got in on coach’s vote, too,” Booker said. “We’ll see. We just worry about taking care of wins. We’re in a good spot right now. Everybody sees the standings where a bad week or a good week for anybody can change a lot.
"We’re taking It one game at a time. We’ve got all East teams till February. We’re going to handle business over there.”
