This kid is going to be a star. Just setting this up for the entire season, I'll keep it updated with gifs of him destroying people's ankles and draining threes from 35 feet away.
I have always liked Booker's game. I think he was severely underutilized at Kentucky and he is a future star for sure.
I am thinking more Ray Allen like production though, and probably not a true elite player. I just don't see him ever becoming a two way star. His defense will surely improve, but pretty much all of his value is coming from the offensive end.
Despite his defensive limitations, I think it possible that he is on everybod's top 5 SG list by season's end,
Rich man's Klay Thompson some dayThis kid is going to be a star. Just setting this up for the entire season, I'll keep it updated with gifs of him destroying people's ankles and draining threes from 35 feet away.

slow down.
Klay is an elite defender. Booker is really bad defensively. Booker probably will be a better offensive player, but not likely to be as good all around without a ton of improvement defensively.

Book was 18 years old playing on a real bad defensive team last year, especially with all the injuries, I think he will only get better and he's dedicated to proving people wrong on that end. He's still growing and putting on some muscle, let's remember where Klay was at this age… still at Wazzu defending college guards.
I do agree he has a ways to go defensively and like the Ray Allen comp (for now) until he proves otherwise. I think it's too early to judge a rookie in a season like last year especially (coaching change, didn't play the first couple months)
Kid's got swag.
I'm going Reggie Miller....lol
Or
Alan Houston.

I know Many will disagree with this, but here goes anyway.
Obviously Klay Thompson will need to keep playing at his current level or better for a long time to be recognized as the superior player, but, He has a greater impact on the game than either Reggie or Ray Ray ever did. His ability to space the floor along with his fantastic perimeter defense make him the ideal SG to pair with a dominant offensive player. As great as Reggie and Ray were, they did not have the same defensive impact.
Agree.
* in before anyone mentions Reggie's 8 pts in 9 seconds....
He pushed off like a mofo on that steal....lol
@tlance 's love affair for Klay without question should be able to made @Shaqdaddy11 wet.
When it comes to Booker, I think he has the potential to be better than Ray Allen once he reaches his prime...He'll be an All-Star for years to come, but I just don't see it happening this year...As tlance I believe had alluded to, he needs to impact the game in other ways beside scoring. Still will have just turned 20 on opening day.
