Alan Williams might as well put on the Gorilla costume and spend time as team mascot... he's so animated every game.

Really want to confuse the front office and all the fans. Are we a bad team? We lose to the Nets at home by double figures. Are we a good team? We are within 2 points in the 4th quarter against the Warriors. :lol:

Our numbers have gone down as the games have progressed.

Does it really matter at his age? No.
Am I a little worried that we're overhyping his ceiling? Yes.

He is too good and willing of a playmaker to be limited to just being called a chucker

He can intiate as a secondary ballhandler but still has tunnel vision as you would expect any gun ho youngin

I was contemplating making an effort post on why we should trade Book. Crazy I know.

But I feel like the league-wide perception of him is way above what he can actually be. Just listening to the Dubs commentary tonight.

Offensively he could be incredible, but the complete and utter lack of defensive awareness is not something that you can learn quickly.

I think I may be jumping ship onto the Bender hype train, and riding it till it comes off the rails. Rookies that can play D have a soft spot in my heart.

Booker is no Kobe... just doesnt have the athleticism.

I'm just hoping he doesnt top-out as a Michael Redd or Kevin Martin clone down the line... Suns need him to be better.

B.Roy was one of my fave players, reminded me more of a hybrid Kobe/Penny, but from what I've seen Roy is a better ball handler than Booker but Booker is the better shooter... well supposedly.

Bender not a good rebounder yet.

Anyways, this game is awesome. Apparently we love playing on B2Bs?

Chancellor's 18 rebounds in a bunch of games hurts to be missing.

Same, I was gladly eating crow as I hated him as a prospect coming out college but he's still a net negative by any metric and the eye tape also corroborates that. Of course I'd had have him taking Knightmare's minute but its time to slow the hypetrain

Bender heard my post

Defensively, he needs to anticipate rather than react... its a common trait for good defensive players. Booker reacts to his opponents which means crafty and fast players will just burn him every time. He lacks explosion and athleticism to contest shots from a couple of feet away. But if he could improve his Defensive IQ... he might improve. I hope he can become Manu Ginobili level as a defender who defends very well because of IQ.

Regarding trading him... Booker and package for Anthony Davis!!!

Bender gets No love. I've seen him get the ball passed to him 1 time this whole game. What gives?
