I feel like we are getting too excited about that 70 points game. It was great performance but it's not like he became superstar after one meaningless RS game that his team lose.

Lol we don't say he became superstar or at least I don't. I know he has a long way ahead but still 70 point game is a 70 point game. Also, I shared this because I liked the artwork :D

70 points is a big deal, regardless of the circumstances.

Karl Malone still looks to be in good shape. Crazy how much shaq and Barkley ballooned while Malone kept lifting.

^Karl Malone can likely still put up 15 and 10 in this league. Show these young guns how to play in the post!

If Devin Booker keeps up his level of play for the next 15 years...Aka age 35...He will pass Shaq on the all time scoring list at number 8 :o ....That's just based on last season and I think he has better seasons to come.

Also I feel that we will make the playoffs multiple times through his career adding to his scoring total.

Just something to think about. 8-)

This is a big year for Devin Booker, who admittedly, I'm not quite as high on as some people on this forum.

He doesn't have to be a dude on defense, but he has to get better, he also needs to become a little more efficient and get a slightly better A/TO ratio.

I get that he's 20, was on a bad team, had a green light.... he's been very good and he can remain really good without significant adjustments, but can he be a superstar top-tier player? I'm not sure and for the Suns to take that next step I think he needs to be.

Yeah, he needs to take a big step this year. He may have looked better overall (numbers wise) on the season had he not had that turf toe injury, but hopefully he can eventually become a 40% 3 pt shooter and can cut down on the turnovers. Defense would be nice too of course.

I'm not concerned about it, it's pretty hard to be a 40% 3pt shooter AND the team leader in FGA.
Last season only Kyrie and Curry did it.

Booker was only 0.3/game below Ulis on assists. Heck, even on his 70 point night he had six dimes.

But he was also 1.8 more turnovers per game in turnovers. Considering their assists were 3.7 and 3.4, and their turnovers were 1.3 and 3.1, Ulis was close to a 3-1 ast/to ratio while Booker was slightly over 1:1. Booker needs to cut down on turnovers. Obviously part of that is because he takes so many shots so and has the ball in his hands so much some turnovers are inevitable, but he still needs to cut them down.

3 assists in 35 minutes isn't anything, come on now.
