Family from day one. Devin Booker started to play the game of basketball because his older brother, Trevor, was very good at it. And he aspired to follow him over the same path. And now, he keeps playing for his family, his four children and a son who is watching every move he makes, every breath he takes, so to speak.<\/strong> \u201cThe passion for basketball runs in the family. Trevor played in the NBA for eight years. My mom played basketball. I started when I was very young, watching my oldest brother play and the passion that he had for the game. I kind of just followed it, followed his lead and his role. He made a great career out of it, and I try to do the same.\u201d Now that he is 34, he wants to be a great role model for his kids. \u201cI have four kids, and they look up to me every day, watch everything I do. I have three girls and one boy. And my son is looking at every step that I take along the way. And my path, my journey. And he picks up on everything. Even when I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s looking or paying attention, he does. I come home and he talks about certain things that happened, and I&#8217;m like, okay, I didn&#8217;t know he was watching that. My passion for basketball is instilled within me, but my family is what keeps me going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P5KmuohDq9c?si=qGtNrrAuEf2JOLYE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devin Booker is from South Carolina and stayed there to play at the college level, too, committing to Clemson. And guess what? He played alongside Trevor both in high school and college. \u201cIt was very special. It started in high school. He was a senior. I was a freshman. So, we got to play on the same team there. Everything started then. And then it trickled down to college. It was an experience within itself. Like I said, he led the way, and I followed in his footsteps. So just to be able to share the court with him at a certain time, certain moments, was special. Those memories, I&#8217;ll hold on to forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54797587931_cd78bb8748_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Devin Booker during a practice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Clemson, Trevor Booker was the big star on the team. He was a power forward, slightly smaller and lighter than his younger brother. During the 2009\/10 season, Clemson earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Trevor averaged 15.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game; Devin was coming off the bench. He was a promising freshman, averaging 4.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, a glimpse of things to come. He improved his numbers year after year, becoming a serious pro prospect. Over four seasons at Clemson, his teams made the NCAA Tournament three times. However, they couldn\u2019t make it out of the first round. A bittersweet accomplishment. \u201cOf course, we would have liked to make it farther than we did. But that was also an experience. I wouldn&#8217;t say I\u2019m proud of it, but a lot of teams are not able to make it to the NCAA tournament, and we were successful in making it. But of course, we would\u2019ve liked to go further. I think anybody in our shoes would and it was unfortunate that we did not. But we learn from those things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"104892\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1064342602-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In Munich in his first stint there<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" data-id=\"104891\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-1024x652.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-1536x978.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-2048x1304.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-1200x764.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1173432733-1-800x509.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">While at Khimki<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Trevor found his niche in the NBA \u2013 he was a first-round pick and spent eventually five seasons with Washington, two more with Utah and finished in 2017\/18 with Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Indiana -, Devin went overseas, in France. \u201cIt was a bit of a culture shock for me. My first year overseas in France, I was with Nancy. It didn&#8217;t really work out well and there was a mutual agreement for me to see if I could fit in another team. So, almost halfway through the season, I transferred to Bourg. And we won the Pro B championship. So, it was a little a little rough at first, but it led to me winning a championship and moving on to Pro A.

So, when I moved to Germany and the EuroLeague, playing at that level wasn&#8217;t difficult at all. I felt like I was ready before then, before I had the start in the EuroLeague. I was the MVP of the French league before I went to Munich. I always had the characteristics and the abilities to play in the EuroLeague. It just started a little later than expected.

I think a lot of people can endure the physicality of it, but it takes a strong mental capacity to last for so long overseas. Especially as an American. Being away from family members, friends, people that you used to being with every day, and now you have to leave them behind. So, it takes a strong mentality. But I have my family, my wife and kids are here with me. I think that helps tremendously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54777721082_108cbdc80f_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t like to put expectations on me or the team. But I know what I can do&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of the mentality, Booker had to develop his game. Everybody knows about his physicality but overtime he became an elite scorer as he showed last season improving tremendously as an outside shooter. \u201cI know what I can do, and I think it started in Chalon when I began shooting the three-ball a little bit. I picked it up a little bit more in Munich. And having the coaches along the way to have the confidence, instilled within me to shoot that ball. The three-ball. So, I would say just playing with the right team and the right coaches and players helped me build that confidence that I needed to actually work on that. And it shows today.\u201d Last season, he converted 38.9 percent of his threes, taking almost three of them per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;I like the combination with Josh Nebo.
