In this United States men's basketball team's Olympic journey, many superstars have received a lot of praise. But there is one player who has been very consistent throughout his Olympic journey, but he has received very little attention. Now that his Olympic journey is over, Kerr has been upset when he talks about him, saying that he hasn't received much praise and attention. Including Curry thinks so. That player is Devin Booker.

Booker has the highest three-point shooting percentage on the United States men's basketball team this year, and he has been very consistent every game. Remember when the United States men's basketball team played the first game, Booker was the starter? At that time, many fans even questioned Booker's start. Even many fans think that Tatum should go to replace Booker as the starter. But after so many games in the Olympics, Booker used his true ability to prove that he was worthy of the starter. His projection is simply too stable.

Kerr knows very well why he asked Booker to be the starter. Because in Kerr's coaching philosophy, he must start with a player who has a consistent three-point shooting ability, and that player must have a strong ability to open up space. In this United States men's basketball team, apart from Curry, Booker is undoubtedly the most consistent player on the outside. In fact, Kerr's starting lineup is also considered in combination with the Warriors' peak lineup. Booker's role is that of Thompson at his prime.

You know, when Booker first entered the league, his template was Thompson. Booker makes good use of every open opportunity, and you'll find that opponents are firmly attached to Booker when defending him, and they won't let him go. Including in the final critical moment of the Finals, when you take a closer look at the opponent's defensive position, you will find that the player next to Booker has not left him half a step. At that time, James and Durant didn't even have defenders around them. It can be seen that the opponent is very afraid of Booker's three-point shooting ability.

In other words, the United States men's basketball team's Olympic journey will also encounter difficulties without Booker's stable outside projection and strong ability to open up space. That's why Curry and Kerr think Booker is an unsung hero.

Any team needs a player of Booker's type, and not only is Booker very good at receiving and shooting, but he also has a strong offensive ability with the ball. If Booker wants to, there's no reason why the next head coach of the United States men's basketball team shouldn't take him to the Los Angeles Olympics. Even Booker would become the leader of the United States men's basketball team at the Los Angeles Olympics.
