Josh Jackson over Devin Booker?

[Ickey Shuffle]

Booker is one of the more streaky shooters in the league. And he's light years away from being able to play defense. But I think this is well known.

I like Booker, but the gushing over him is getting a little out of control. Those Klay Thompson comparisons need to end too. Thompson is an elite defender. Booker is not.

There's no reason he can't play both. You ever hear Calipari talk about him? He's got the skill set to do it. Plus, you're pickings nits. There's no reason at all why Jackson and Booker can't play together.

I never said Jackson and Booker can't play together; of course they can. I don't see any point guard in Booker's game whatsoever though.

Did you catch any Suns games after they shut down Bledsoe? He shared the load with Ulis, often alternating lead guard duties and looked comfortable. The skill set is there to be a combo guard

Why would anyone watch any of those Suns intentional tank games? They certainly didn't win any of those games, whether he was comfortable or not.

Lol @ people criticizing Booker's FG%.

Yeah, 20 year olds that are the #1 scoring option as the focal point of opposing defenses night out should be shooting 50 percent from the field, right?!

No, more like 60%... From three. The ball shouldn't hit the rim either. Nothing but net!

In Booker's defense, the ball rarely hits the rim when it goes in anyway.

The 2:25 mark is the prettiest shot I've ever seen. The ball doesn't even change trajectory. Those are the Miami announcers. From his rookie season.

I would take Devin Booker over Josh Jackson!
