19 year old Devin Booker got 3rd place in the 3pt contest behind the splash brothers. Crazy.

I do think that Booker will become the 3rd best shooter in the NBA behind the splash brothers in the near future too.

Yup and that's why Suns fans are so happy to see Hornacek get fired because Hornacek hates rookies and sophomore players like the plague.

Booker finally getting heavy burn now under Watson.


Devin Booker was averaging around 33minutes per game after Eric Bledsoe went down under Jeff Hornacek. At that pace he would average more minutes than any other rookie. If Hornacek was still the coach there's no reason to think his minutes would have went down since your back court was hit with injuries.

In my worthless opinion, I'd say that dabbing is an upgrade over the whip/nae nae. I think that people at my school have finally gotten over that stupid dance.

Calling it a dance is being generous but no I don't. I'm in my late 20s, I'm sure if I was in high school I'd be all about it.

Just seems like dabbing looks like coughing into your arm and the other little arm movements that go along with it look like a seizure. But like I said I'm getting old so yeah.

I remember the back and forth we had on the Heat board over Kristaps. We had a very adamant fan of his who fought for his opinion every day. Most of us weren't convinced, but Porzingis has done very well in half a season so far. Glad to see him quieting all the booing NY fans on draft night.
