I'm out in Phoenix right now so I've caught a couple of Suns games, and boy I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's already the best player on that team aside from Brandon Knight and has a ceiling far higher than Bledsoe. I could easily see him turning into a solid second option on a championship level team.

I hope he grows into his face though cause he looks like a little kid lol.

I'm that high on the kid.


Would you do that had DET picked him over SJ on the 8th spot? Or you already did it when they refused to pick Winslow? :D


I have never been high on Winslow, so I need not be part of your generalization of Pistons fans. Nice attempt at trolling though. :lol:

He is a little kid. He just turned 19 and is the youngest player in the league. A true bright spot in an otherwise dark season.

At 19 he is probably the most mature player on the Suns roster.

And I don't know if it's amazing or depressing.

Booker is still half a year younger than Ben Simmons and Skal.

I can see Booker averaging 20 points this season. He will be a regular all star starting in 2018

He'll be a top 5 SG in the league atleast once in his NBA career, and he's one of the underlooked players that makes the 2014 draft class the best since 2003 and 1996.

Booker will be the best SG in the NBA in 2018-19. Book it.

No pun intended.

This season he'll average 22 ppg with 4 apg and 4rpg

Prime 27 ppg 6apg 5rpg

Could end up a lot like Brandon Roy. He'll need to get stronger though, and we'll have to see if he develops the type of leadership and culture building that can transform a team in the way Roy did. If not, he's still likely Joe Johnson level.

Given that he is 19, I wouldn't put a cap on what he can/will be, but if he ends up as good as Roy or even Joe Johnson, that's a nice pick at the end of the lottery.

Top 5 SG? He has top 5 overall potential.

Very true.. didn't mean to say that as a cap. But I think it's a "likely" scenario at this point, which is pretty awesome.

He has a very Hardenesque offensive game except that he is much better at the mid range and obviously does not make drawing fouls a major component of his game.

You mean flop? :wink:
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

That's not really like Harden at all, then. The identifying elements of his game are his extreme rim-or-three approach and his major drive to draw fouls...

I find his similarities in being able to finish around the rim despite not being extremely athletic just like Harden, obviously Harden takes drawing fouls/flopping to another level.

Top 5 overall potential? He has top 5 overall potential all-time.
