Ethan Khoza argues that the primary reason Devin Booker is hard to guard is his command of space. Booker intentionally takes away space—closing distance and creating contact with defenders—so he can control when to separate and thereby create high-quality shot or passing opportunities.

One thing that hurts a lot of players is not understanding the concept of taking away space to then be able to create it. Devin Booker is great at putting himself in the driver's seat when it comes to space, meaning that a lot of times he's going to close that distance to his defender, create that contact, because then he can decide when to separate and be able to create a shot or a passing angle.
