Devin Booker has picked the Milwaukee Bucks over the Los Angeles Lakers as his rivals in a hypothetical series of seven. The Phoenix Suns young gun headlined the NBA 2K players-only tournament with his clash against Denver Nuggets rookie Michael Porter Jr. and both players had a good time, even though Book won their matchup.
At some point, Porter Jr. asked Booker which team he’d prefer to face in a best-of-seven series between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. The shooting guard went with the Bucks, saying the Lakers are ‘long’.
MPJ: "Who would you rather play in a seven game series, Lakers or Bucks?"
Booker: "Bucks. Laker boys are long."

“I’d rather play the Bucks. Them Laker boys long bruh,” he said.
Devin also said they have length when it comes to big men. Los Angeles features Anthony Davis, JaVale McGee, Dwight Howard on the roster, which is a nightmare for anybody trying to attack the rim.
Book played versus both teams over in February and the results were completely different from an opponent to the other. He first faced Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Bucks, dropping 32 points, with 7 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting for 60% from the field.
Then, against the Lakers, Devin lived a total nightmare, scoring only 10 points, shooting for 18.2% from the field.
It’s not hard to see why he would prefer going against Milwaukee in a 7-game series. Still, that’s a little possibility now given the fact that the Phoenix Suns are a wandering team, not the most competitive squad in the Western Conference.
