Today, Booker was interviewed after training.

Talking about the team's rookie Maluachi's performance against the Lakers yesterday, Booker said: "He played very well. Overall, he was very motivated, hit three-pointers, and communicated very actively on the court. As a 19-year-old player, his physical confrontation performance was excellent."

In the NBA preseason yesterday, the Suns defeated the Lakers 113-104. The Suns' No. 10 pick Maluac made 8 of 10 shots and 1 of 1 three-pointers. He efficiently scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
