Since returning from injury a couple of weeks ago, Devin Booker has been on a tear for the Phoenix Suns and continues to enhance his reputation as one of the best young players in the league.In his last six games, the 21-year-old has scored 27 or more points in each encounter.The Suns star has scored at least 30 points in four straight games. He is the first Suns player to accomplish this since Amar’e Stoudemire in 2004.Despite a 124-116 loss, his display against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night was one of his best of the season.The shooting guard poured in 39 points on 16-of-28 shooting and added six rebounds and eight assists in the contest.He is developing into one of the best scorers in the league and he set an impressive milestone to underline this.Booker became the third-youngest player in NBA history to record 4,000 points. Only LeBron James and Kevin Durant did it younger than him.

“Just trying to reach greatness each and every day,” Booker said after the game. “Trying to get better, trying to get this team better. Whatever comes with it, comes with it.”

The former Kentucky product acknowledged his achievement but wasn't willing to pay too much attention to it as it once again came in a losing effort.

Booker carried the Suns on his back and constantly hit big shots to try and will his team to victory.

At one point in the second half, he incredibly scored 11 points in just 85 seconds as he got hot.

It also included a great move that almost sent Paul George sprawling to the ground.

With around two-and-a-half minutes remaining in the game, Booker knocked down a shot to give Phoenix a one-point lead.

But unfortunately, he was up against another relentless guard in Russell Westbrook who wouldn't let his Thunder team suffer an embarrassing loss to the lowly Suns.

The reigning MVP exploded for 43 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists in the win.

Even though Booker's efforts were ultimately in vain, his head coach hailed his impact on the team.

“Unfortunately we didn’t get a shot at the end, but he’s carrying us,” Jay Triano said. “He’s proven that he’s an elite scorer in this league.”

The hugely talented third-year man is averaging career-highs across the board with 25.2 points, 4.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game on 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 38.2 from beyond the arc.

The Arizona-based franchise once again owns one of the worst records in the league but they at least have a future superstar to build around in the years to come.
