I wish Len would have gotten another double double but at least he got those boards.
Booker is the real deal. Is JJ Redick still the most realistic comparison or can we pick a higher floor for Booker?

Leuer played very well with our regular starters in the first 20-30 games when we were competitive. He contributes in a lot of little ways and plays D. I also don't know if you can call a second round pick or a guy you signed for that cheap much of a bust, even if he did really suck.

And he's 8-10 tonight for 18 and 7 boards.

I dont care if he is a second round pick Or on a cheap conrtract.. All i See ist that People drive and slide to the basket when they See number 30. He lost his shot. Jokic is playing with leuer. So i think right now he should Not be playing

Props to the great one

When drafting SG all you want at the start is for them to better than OJ Mayo, then Redick, then Knight, then you get into All-Star SG territory.

He could barely run up the floor.

Booker is averaging 28 pts, 3 rbs, and 5 ast on 49% fg, 36% 3pts, and 89% ft in 40 mpg in his last five games. Those are not just all-star numbers. Those are close to MVP caliber numbers.

He is already a better ball handler than jj and his offensive game is solid with the floater and the post up, jj is like his floor lol

35pts with high efficency in a b2b (altitude).
oh boy, this kid is super legit

give this kid the reims of this team and hope for Ingram in the draft

So it's obvious Booker is the real deal. Suns have to figure out if Bledsoe is the perfect PG next to him. I don't know if he is. Warren is just right for the team. Suns future is bright man.

Where them Tucker fans at?

The next level is probably a prime Eric Gordon type season. If he does that in the next 2-3 seasons, then he's competing against the best of the best guards before he's 24.

I just posted those stats in the rookie thread on the general board. There are a bunch of rooks putting up huge numbers. Mudiay looked good tonight too.

What I can't figure out is how Len, at his size can be shooting 37% in March and 34% over his last five games. At least he's pulled down over 13 rebounds a game. If that is all he does, maybe he just should shoot much. But at least he can keep shooting this season, but I hope next year he gets better. He played much better offensively with Bledsoe, so that will probably help since they've played together a few years and have better chemistry.

Len doesn't have great motor skills, but he's 7-1.

He was shooting 50% last year, so maybe when we're a good team, he's a 13/12 type player on better effeciency where he can be the 4th option.

I'd say Ray Allen. But I wouldn't even put a limit on his ceiling. Check these out... http://bkref.com/tiny/WLCXo

And he may end up being a better passer than both of them. Maybe a little bit of Harden.

I am not going to compare Booker to anyone. I will just say I think he has MVP potential. I truly believe that.

Franchise, max player in the making. This young man is unbelievable! Booker seems like a loyal person too. He's not going anywhere. We are lucky to have him.

Len just doesnt have much post moves and we're force feeding him there. So he's taking a lot of tough shots and people now realize if you dont foul him, he's probably wont do much there.

Looking at his numbers in the post:
right now he's in 35th percentile (bad)
39 eFG% (bad)
18.7% TO rate (bad)
17.5% shooting fouls (good)

so my statement is true... he draw a lot of fouls, commit a lot of unforced turnovers and when he's guarded smartly, he cant do much there. we need to be much more smarter finding his sweet spots here (probably faceups)

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 28m28 minutes ago
Denver rookie Emmanuel Mudiay's two best scoring games of the season have come against the Suns -- 26 on Nov. 20, 27 tonight. #SunsAtNuggets


No surprise that Brandon Knight played in both of these games. Ugh the Suns point guard defense is absolutely atrocious. I hope McDonough does not hesitate to trade Knight before next season's training camp. Not only does he have no clue how to play the point guard position, his defense is awful. Even when the Suns lose, they are so much more enjoyable to watch when Knight does not play.

I'd like to see him traded, but I don't know who would want him. And I doubt McD will trade him this quickly. Hopefully he plays sixth man next year and can thrive in that role, and then we can maybe trade him later, or keep him if he's helping us win.

I would like to see Knight, and Tucker traded. Honestly, Bledsoe is my 2nd favorite Suns behind Booker, I would see what offers we can get for him. Suns need to build around Booker. Period.

With Len looking good, I still offer Len and others for Cousins. I think they'll consider it now.
