Devin Booker said the toughest defense he has ever faced is from Kawhi Leonard and the Denver Nuggets.

In terms of individual defense, Booker named Leonard as the toughest defender, while the Nuggets have managed to guard him most effectively so far.

“In terms of overall defenses, I think some teams have better gameplans for me than others, Denver being one of those. I struggled in all my Denver games this year. Obviously, playing against Kawhi for five years now, he’s physically gifted and dominant on both sides of the ball, so he’s a tough matchup,” Booker told Liam McKeone of The Big Lead.

In 62 games this season, the superstar of the Phoenix Suns averaged 26.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists.
