2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio and shooting 52% from 2 point jumpers, both elite even compared to other stars.

That's really what seperates him from Beal as a top 10 player rather than top 30.

It sucks because I’m a sneaker guy and always tough to find Nike shoes in purple and orange.. the last player we had that had some nice shoes in Suns colors was Amare Stoudemire. I’m hoping the Book 2’s down the road are better than these.

So does he have these as casual shoes and a pair of basketball shoes too?

Book is mid. I'm sure this is exactly what he wanted considering he wears chuck taylors every day of his life. Lets be real, this is exactly a shoe booker would like. A meld between AF1's and Chuck T's. Nailed it.

You're most likely right here.

I'll need to see more pictues of it but looking at it from that lens, it's not bad

Devin Booker this season:

29.6 PPG (career-high)
5.5 RPG (career-high)
8.6 APG (career-high)
51.3 FG% (career-high)
45.2 3P% (career-high)
92.3 FT% (career-high)

Best version of Book we’ve ever seen.

MVP numbers.

Too bad the field is loaded this year.....and KD's numbers will "cancel" out Book for a lot of dumb media heads.

He's going to be close to Harden's PPG and AST when he won MVP in 2018, but more efficient across the board.

Yeah, those are crazy #s, mainly due to the %s, but there are a number of people putting up insane #s (at least raw #s)...I am not sure if anyone is close to him and KD in efficiency.

Jokic's #s are crazy.

Of course the #s will be harder to hold up when we face tougher competition. Over half our games have been against the bottom 5 in the west and we've also played the Pistons, Bulls, etc.

Edit: I guess it's not over half against bottom 5...I was including GS who was in bottom 5 before the Clips lost, so I guess it would be bottom 6 in west.

CP3 and Mont definitely were! Book needs to seriously start shooting more 3s though. Vogel mentioned I believe before the season started or maybe after a couple of games that Booker should be taking more pull-up 3s. Well... the last 3 games Book has only taken 3, 3, and 4 three-point attempts. And even the last 3 point attempt against the Grizzlies was a heave at the last second. :lol:

Though... it is hard to argue with the results, since the Suns are winning.

Fixed.

Where would you rank last year's Booker on the 2004-05 team?
