As the season approaches, experts begin to enter the prediction game. And according to Kevin Garnett, there is one player who will absolutely explode thanks to his experience with Team USA this summer.
In just a few days, the new season NBA was officially there at the start of the training camps. This does not mean the players are out of work, as most have found their way back to the courts. This is especially the case of LeBron James, who talks about his early sessions with Bronny.
Likewise, Guerschon Yabusele continues his adaptation to the Sixers, and every video of him published on the team’s social networks ignites the supporters. Be careful not to pull too hard on the engine, with the summer being pretty intense during the Olympic Games. For him, like everyone else in Paris, we have to be careful not to put ourselves in the red.
Devin Booker ready to explode after the Olympics?
In his show “KG: Certified,” Kevin Garnett gives a different perspective on Olympians and recovery. For the former MVP, the Olympics will be an opportunity for some talents to take a step forward and shine even more in the NBA. So he is convinced that two teammates from the Western Conference will do a great job in the first weeks of the regular season.
For me, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant will explode because of the Olympic Games. I thought Devin Booker had the same growth as Anthony Edwards after his first selection to Team USA. He played all summer against very good opponents, he is more mature… I think they will find their sailing strength earlier this season.
Phoenix has more potential now to take a leading role in the Western Conference. For me, Devin Booker is the star that we don’t talk about, but who should not be forgotten. You never forget how strong this man is, and I think this season, after the Olympics, it’s up to him to remind the world who he is.
According to Kevin Garnett, the fact that Devin Booker was able to play all summer against the best players on the planet, in a role that also requires great intelligence, will allow him to take a step forward in the NBA. For the 2004 MVP, the Suns are the team that will follow between the back and Kevin Durantas effective as the attack. It remains to be seen if their teammates can fulfill the task.
For some, the Olympic Games can be a source of fatigue at the start of the season. But for Kevin Garnett, this summer experience will help Devin Booker and the Suns make some noise in the Western Conference.
