The Devin Booker hype thread

[tlance]

I wouldn't call Ingram the most talented player on the roster. He is still very green and needs more meat on them puny legs and arms of his. I don't expect him to be relevant til next year but Russell and Randle are balling. Clarkson and Lance were really nice pick ups as well.

He is definitely the most talented, but nowhere near the best. His ceiling is very high.

Yeah - The Lakers are looking really good - Just imagine how much better they will be at the end of this year when Ingram has been developed

Meh

Meh

Youngest player to ever have back to back games with 38+ points = meh?


Nahhhh

2 games is how we judge? Lol.

He can't defend, doesn't rebound or assist much and shoots low 30s from 3.

His PER is currently under 15.

Yeah, I'm not gonna blow my load yet.

He's 20 years old. And he's actually a very good passer. I'd take him over Wiggins in an instant.

I ditched the Lakers since it was really just a bandwagon deal from St. Louis. I did own a pair of Barkley's, KJ jersey and the shorts.

Going to be fun watching this young team grow.

He's an excellent passer, his defense could use some work but he's improving in that area.

Speaking of not doing much other than scoring do you not like Wiggins then? Because you basically just described him.

Welcome to the Suns bandwagon... there's plenty of room right now so hop on before it becomes a thing!

PS- I miss those 90's jerseys so much, one of the best throwbacks ever.

I moved out here two years ago and don't plan on leaving. So I'm on this ride for good!

I hate Wiggins lack of rebounding and passing.

But I also don't start threads in his honor or even really like the guy.

His PER is considerably better even without the back to back 38 pt games

Appears Wiggins had another good output tonight.

Also Lavine another I'd take over Booker right now. Better shooter.

Not that it matters, don't have any loyalty in this. Just think the Booker love is overboard.

Lol @ LaVine over Booker.


Book still nearly 2 years younger (just turned 20)

Lavine over Booker? What?

By "right now" you mean on tonight, November 9th?

What?

 

[The Derski]

Maybe you should watch Booker play instead of looking at numbers. He's a 20 year old that passes the eyeball test. "Meh" is probably the last word I would use to describe his game.

 

[Suns7]

I really enjoy watching Booker play. The Suns have been in most of their games this year even though they've only won 3 of the 9.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

If by nearly 2 years

You mean less than 1.5 years....then yes you are correct.

Why are you so butt hurt? Lmao.

I said "meh" to this thread crowing a kid with pedestrian stats

I never once said he would be a "meh" player.

By your logic I can say anyone is better than another person because I watch them and numbed are irrelevant.

What?

By "right now" i literally mean right now.

Lavine is far more efficient, turns it over less, fouls less and is the better shooter but quite a lot to this point.

O, and I ain't crowning him either

Watched him last night against my Pistons (okay, the first half) and I have to assume it was his worst game of the season. He looked completely average while the rest of his team was made to look like all stars by the Pistons.
