Suns News Week 16: 2/8-2/14

Isn't Shabazz a SF anyway? He's 6' 6" and was most successful last year when posting up other SFs

Booker's replacing Noel in the Rising Stars game. Good stuff and well deserved.

Cool!

The lone bright spot in this dreary season. I was wondering if they were going to give it to him once Noel was out.

Sportando is tweeting that we, along with the Celtics and Blazers, are eyeing Shabazz Muhammed. Not really a fan of his but maybe the Twolves have interest in Kieff? Could be a nice fit next to KAT?

Or the Wolves may want Tucker.

I'd welcome the other Shabazz. And he's more of a 3 than a 2.

Literally the pinnacle of our season. I'm going to go cry now.

Sports Illustrated did a re-do of the 2015 draft and had Booker going number 5.

5. Magic: Devin Booker

Did you know that Devin Booker is younger than Ben Simmons? It turns out, it's not an accident that he looks like he's 15 years old next to the rest of the NBA. Now, did you know that he's averaging 17 points per game over the past month and shooting 45% as a starter? He can barely buy cigarettes. Imagine what he'll do by the time he can drink.

He's handling the ball more than he ever did at Kentucky, he's running pick-and-rolls with surprising success, and while all this opportunity is partly a by-product of broader dysfunction in Phoenix, he gets credit for knocking it out of the park. All the added responsibility will make him better in the long run. The Magic would be ecstatic to add Booker here, which tells you a lot about this draft class. The 14th pick in the lottery would be a steal in the top 5.
