Are tSuns really younger than 15/16 Sweet Sixteen teams?

Their starting five was younger than 7/8 teams that played on Thursday night in the Sweet 16, I'm not sure where they were overall tho. Crazy nonetheless. Imagine if they started Bender (once healthy) over Len, then they'd be the YOUNGEST team in the NCAA tourney.

Under the same circumstances, Westbrook would have scored 100+

Nah.

Booker "only" took 40 shots. Westbrook would need 60 shots to score 70 points. Maybe he goes for it today.

Yeah RW has attempted over 30 shots a bunch of times this year, with 39 being the most. He actually shot very well in that game and still "only" had 58. Booker attempted 40 and got 12 more points. RW would have to attempt more mainly bc his 3 point shooting sucks and Booker is a sharp shooter. I mean if RW got really hot in one game he might be able to do it, but unlikely.

I think there are a few guys capable of scoring 70, but it would require a whole team game plan to do it. The Suns obviously did everything they could to help Booker get there in the end. He did also make 24 FTs, which helped a lot.
