With 113.7 OffRtg the Suns would rank 3rd in the league and 106.1 DefRtg would be #8.

John Schuhmann:
The team continues to put up good numbers with Booker at point guard; They've now scored more than 115 points per 100 possessions in 201 total minutes with Booker on the floor without either of their nominal point guards, and their latest starting lineup (with Mikal Bridges and Trevor Ariza at the wings) has outscored its opponents in six of the seven games that it's played in.

Why would I consider the date of a post to comment on the idiocy of its contents? You look worse with every response. I don't care to argue with someone of your intellectual capacity so I'll let you enjoy the last word. I'm sure it'll be clever.

Glad to hear he's patient. Would be nice to hear him say we have some nice pieces instead of just "the big fella and myself".

When you click on the red part of the left side of the thread in the circle, it will start at your last unread post. If you like to read all of them, it's the best way to do it.

This probably needs to change, regardless of if we get a real PG or not, even though his TS% is nearly as good as last year..it's still only around league average.

A year ago, nearly 40% of Booker’s shots came after taking 0 or 1 dribbles. This year, that’s down to 30.5%.

Still, he’s remaining efficient. His true shooting percentage (TS%) is nearly as high as his career-best last year (55% vs 56%) while his assist percentage (34.5%) is higher than any Suns point guard in six years.


But the assist % is great. Pretty amazing I think he averages more assists already this year per game than I think Bledsoe, Dragic, or Knight ever did or maybe ever have.

And he hasn't even played PG most of the year.

His 3PT% on pull-ups is down 11.4% from last year on 1 more attempt per game too. I wonder if it's in part due to playing through injury and not being able to shoot for a long time leading up to the season? I'd assume he'll start to level back out as the season progresses though.

If we don’t bring in an all star caliber player by the start of next season I can see him requesting a trade.

I'm not sure I see that. He would've just started year 1 of his 5 year max extension. He has no leverage whatsoever and he knew what he was getting into when he signed that extension. Year 4 and year 5 he would have leverage but not in year 1. If you wanted that max money, you know you're in it for the long haul for better or for worse
