IDK... should have went 15-0... 12-3 is just so empty. Hard to argue with the 32 posters here who think Book is empty stats leader.

You cannot have empty stats if you are scoring efficiently on high volume. That is the definition of being EFFECTIVE.

Not when you are a defensive sieve and have a lot of turnovers. Plus he jack's up a lot of shots he shouldn't, he could be even more efficient. All he cares about is his stats and then going home to that ball groupie that pretty much every player has had a turn with.

better ts% than giannis last year but that doesn't matter because he "could be even more efficient" lmfao. he's 1A/1B on the team with the 4th best record in the league rn and you're still trying to hold on to him only caring about his stats... it's embarrassing bro. ship has sailed on this one.

Do you watch Basketball? After a slow start after odd offseason Booker was #36 in turnovers in Feb.

You are comparing to him a player who can't shoot so I'm not sure how that's anything to gloat about

Ah the old do you watch basketball, I am higher than thou lol. Yes and he's finally in a position to win because he has players around him who compliment him and are more impactful on both ends. Booker is like a Kevin Martin with better passing. It's nothing to write home about. Stop gloating.

You wanna talk about empty stats? Look no further than #24 and # 40 on your team. They are masters of it.

Booker just isn’t that good. His stats aren’t even that good.

Chris Paul is better on both ends.

Guys like Saric, Bridges, Payne and Crowder are more valuable than just him easily.

Sigh. Booker is simply leading scorer so he’ll get hella overrated. I didn’t even notice this until he won WC POTM somehow. Good lord.

Booker taking that 3 point contest title. Again.

It’s so nice to see realgm back to hating Suns players. Reminds of when I joined and every day there was a thread about how terrible of a basketball player Steve Nash was.

We’re back baby! Go Suns!

Cp3 helps. Can't believe the rockets let him and harden part ways.

Also empty stats is so relative. Someone can be putting up stats on decent efficiency on a losing team, and people will call it empty. Mean while someone else puts up worse stats on worse efficiency but their team is winning, and no one bats an eye

Kings4win · Post #56 » by **Kings4win** » Wed Mar 3, 2021 5:48 am

And there we are. Booker ejected and still a comfortable win against the Lakers. Can't say I didn't tell you

GOAT timing by OP :rock:

Phx were already playing well and then played even better after his ejection.

LMFAO, two people actually come in and argue that the Suns getting the second-best record in the league is proof that Booker is an empty stats guy :lol:

Riddle me this, Booker starts the season off slow - the Suns have an 8-8 start. Booker starts beasting, wins player of the month, and the Suns explode to the second-best record in the league. Is the fact that Booker is playing his best basketball of the year coinciding with the Suns starting to win games just a mere coincidence? Man, the Suns supporting cast must really have worked extra hard trying to overcome all those additional empty stats Booker has been putting up over the last 5 weeks :lol:

The Suns were +13 with Booker on the floor, and end up winning the game by 10. What kind of advanced math did you apply to come to the conclusion that the Suns were better without Booker on the floor tonight?

Brutha, let the infants that have watched the NBA for 6 weeks and need a safe space to survive hate on Book. It’s perfect. Exactly what we as Suns fans want.

Is Devin Booker an empty stats player?
