But Booker is the inefficient chucker.

[Jdiddy701]

here's the onslaught of general board posters that haven't actually ever watched a Suns game posting about how Booker is the reason the Suns are bad because he's a selfish chucker. Saying the team will figure it out and turn it around if he's traded, not realizing how bad the team has looked in booker's absence, which there have been many of, due to all the tanking and weird injuries he's gotten. JOY.

Man, I feel so bad for him. His career will be a waste if he stays in Phoenix. Suns need to upgrade the team. It’s a shame.

They really are wasting Booker, but at least he's about 6 seasons from his prime, so they have some time, but they don't even have a front office or any real structure in the franchise to have any inkling of faith that they will be able to put winning players around Booker.

My hashtag all summer long is going to be ....

1. We have to get a legit point guard ... (Okobo & Melton are just not good and should be in the G league)

2. Have to resign Oubre !!! Then trade JJ and Warren

3. Send Ayton’s ass to Hakim’s camp for 2 months.... Ayton drips with talent but is too busy thinking about his fortnite character...

4. Get a legitimate power forward .... Bender is completely atrocious! For those who want to spend money (even the smallest amount) to keep him around ..... with all do respect .. get your head outta your asses !!!!


5. I’m not sure Igor is our answer as HC... our two man defense tonight was equivalent to Desert Shadows Middle School’s team ... and he doesn’t know how to properly use Ayton at all

We're getting there. I don't know if he would be where his is right now offensively if he had been on a stronger team with less opportunities to shine as an individual... you just never know..

[bwgood77]

Is Jimmer our new Mike James?

I was going to mention this before because Mike James was a top scoring guard in a much tougher league...euroleague. At least Jimmer isn't the starting PG.

He can maybe be an ok Troy Daniels type I think off the bench when we need 3s but not a good start to his shooting career as a Sun.

He was brutal tonight, like really bad... and he looked tiny out there. I bet some of the posters here would have played better.

Who in the world thought it was a good idea to sign this guy?

For all the hate that Daniels gets, he's a hella good shooter. He literally comes in after not playing for like 3 straight games and is able to get hot. If we just needed a guy who can shoot and hit 3's at the NBA level, why don't we just play more Daniels? Neither guy brings defense or really NBA level playmaking so.....

Please. Any minute given to Jimmer is a wasted minute for the team.

[Frank Lee]

and both will be gone next yr (Daniels/Jimmer)

[Kerrsed]

So much Jimmer hate, but still ended up scoring more than Bender/Bridges/Melton COMBINED. Jimmer played for 14 minutes, yet those 3 starters played anywhere from 25 to 30 minutes. Jimmer didnt even start launching up shots until there was only like 4 minutes left in the game.....aka garbage time. Funny thing was when we put Booker back in Jimmer HAD to shoot as they were double-teaming Booker at halfcourt actively trying to deny him his 60 points.

And LOL at people blaming Ayton. Didnt he just pass Alvin Addams as the rookie with the most double doubles in Suns Franchise History? Wasnt he going up against pretty much the Leagues top defender at C? 9 points on over 50% shooting, 7 rebounds, a couple steals and blocks, SMH. I even saw him dive to the floor twice tonight going after loose balls!

[Kerrsed]

Bender: 23 minutes, 4 points
Bridges: 31 minutes, 1 point (0-5FG)
Melton: 22 minutes, 0 points (Took only one shot all game and missed both his FT's)
Okobo: 27 minutes, 4 points

[sunskerr]

Lol we are down like 4 of our rotation guys against a team jockeying for position and you guys are mad? These last few games are absolutely meaningless other than showing us that book is legit **** player.

[Fo-Real]

Every player on the floor without Booker on the back of his jersey was trash tonight.

Booker proving he's a great scorer, questions about leadership still remaining.

And what system is that, in which all players except one suck so much. Take a look at Memphis vs OKC boxscore. The Grizzlies roster is full of no names and yet all of them scored in what looks like a balanced offense.

I think we really need a PF that can set screens. Im sick of watching Aytons only use being a screen setter. Ayton Should Be stuck in the paint. We are vastly under using him.

This is not exactly important, but the best scorer in Euroleague is, like every year, Alexey Shved with 23.8 points, James is second with 20.4. Shved is at the moment not on the list, because he missed too many games. But if he plays 2 more, he will win the best scorer award with an ease again. James is playing insane amount of time, 34 minutes, for Euroleague standards. For comparison, Luka was playing 26 minutes last year. James scores many points just because he's shooting nonstop. His FG% is 41. 136th place in the league.

[Revived]

Props to Booker for not asking to be sat out along with the rest of the remotely quality players.
