How many did Booker play prior to CP3?

Lol im mocking those who are saying that hence the caps and small letters

[picc]

Booker slightly better iso player. Lavine better off ball. Neither are remarkable passers. Both can play D when they want to.

Idk. Pretty much even to me.

[Infinite Llamas]

LaVine has great efficiency and he’s never had the luxury playing next to a top-5 PG in Paul.

LaVine pretty easily.

[Wagonband]

I'm also team Lavine... Though they are both really really good. But with Lavine i feel like he has unlimited potential still. Insanely athletic, great shooting mechanics. I feel like he has even higher level he can get to despite being in the league for what seems a very long time already

[Willie Colon]

Nearly identical players. Can't go wrong with either one, although Booker has shown to have better vision and is a year younger.

[bwgood77]

They are fairly close. Booker has improved quite a bit defensively the past two years and LaVine is the better 3 pt shooter with better overall efficiency. Outside of that their raw #s are almost identical across the board.

It's interesting in all star voting in the players ranking each other, LaVine came in 2nd in player voting in the east behind DeRozan for guards and Booker in 3rd behind Curry and Ja in the west for guards.

LaVine. I think he's the most underrated player in the game.

Brandon Ingram is the most underrated player in the league.

Booker has proven himself in the playoffs. He looked like a 1a scorer out there so I don't know why people are acting like what he did in the post-season was not impressive. Until Lavine proves himself in the playoffs, its easily Booker

basketball is an individual sport in the guise of the team.
you can of course use the argument of the team concept but that's rather self explanatory, correct? since basketball is played with 5players then of course "the team" becomes important. it ain't tennis or boxing i agree

but let's be real here,,,there is NO sport more dependent on the individual than in basketball an addition of one player makes all the difference and that is why teams go looking for stars. basketball is a star driven sport. look at these very phx - who were they before cp3, and btw crowder? how did the nets all of a sudden become the defacto team to beat, and how come they're not as sure a thing w/o kyrie....why did lebron go out and recruit all those players @miami and @cavs, and why he failed in his first year @lakers.

and what is it they say,,, "x team has the better chance to win in a close game if it has the best player on the floor"

Still don't see how it's "all cp3". Booker and Ayton weren't nobodies before he joined the Suns.

well, for starters phx - 19/20 = 34wins
with cp3 last year = 51wins and finals

that's just on the floor. not including the intellect/maturity impact of cp3 on how the young players think. the oldest mind on phx 2yrs ago was rubio with 8yrs. ayton plays "smarter" and booker went from "booker vs lavine" to "booker > lavine"

The Suns are still the best team in the league this year even CP3 injured. Book is the heart and soul of this team. He is a clutch time assassin.

OP what did you expect when you post a thread about Booker?

[Dominator83]

A lot has changed in the last 3 months. It went from being a "pick em" to a gap the size of the grand canyon

[PlayerUp]

Bulls really a mess right now and broken. They can't beat good or bad teams.

Zach might need knee surgery in the off season.

Zach might need knee surgery in the off season.

Clearly not the same player he once was. He hasn't had a single game this season with 37 or more in a game. He needs rest.
