Of all the things I hate about listening to Drysdale, I think my least favorite is when she says "... from threes".

There's a LOT more to being a well rounded player than scoring. Scoring is glamorized for what it is, but it's the intangibles and completeness that's where it's at. Booker isn't there yet and his inability to close consistently and fall prey to bait laid for him in a collapsing double leading to a turnover are two huge difference makers.SunsRback4Good wrote:sashaturiaf wrote:I love Book as a player, but there's just no doubt who the best player on the floor is when KD is out there.
Book is still better I don’t see Durant scoring 70 points anytime soon.

Durant's also got the body dimensions Booker will unfortunately never have. Book has to jump 3 feet in the air to get shots over defenders consistently, Durant doesn't have to jump much.

KD takes the least heat checks out of all the premier scorers so I don't think he'll challenge Booker's 70 anytime soon.
Interesting that Bookers biggest weakness is dealing with double teams since that's also Durant's. Now that they have each other on the court hopefully that can allow them to release the ball sooner if a hard double comes

Brah is someone in here really talking about whether Durant or Booker is better? Who cares we got two shot creators on the wing which is like the most desirable thing you could ever want on a roster.

Booker is great. KD is like Booker with 6 extra inches

How did Paul’s pass get to Ayton’s hands? that was an awkward pass, but Ayton still got the ball and made the basket.

We have a deep team. So many options, Monty definitely has some work to do to figure it out.

So far so good. KD being his highly efficient self, making an impact on both ends, and a team high +15.

Suns 0-0 from ft line! Don’t matter if we have KD, Giannis, Embiid on same team we never get enough ft attempts.

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

Lack of FTs is concerning.
For the Hornets not a big deal but it will be for playoff bound teams.
