That is high praise for Booker coming from his new head coach.

The Phoenix Suns turned to an 18-year-old sharpshooter with the No. 13 pick in the NBA draft.

Devin Booker came off the bench for national champion Kentucky as something of a designated shooter.

"We just feel that he's the best shooter in the draft," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said, "and that's obviously something we need."

The 6-foot-6 Booker averaged 10 points per game. He shot 47 percent from the field in his one season at Kentucky, 41 percent from 3-point range, 83 percent from the free throw line.

Hornacek was an all-time great shooter. He knows of which he speaks. [Smile]

Good shooters like Booker are hard to find and Hornacek knows it!
