Simmons/Booker/Bridges/Jackson/Ayton is a pretty fantastic lineup that would almost always have more talent than the opposing team. Maybe their inexperience eventually trips them up, but that's a playoff teamDemocritus wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 11:13 amAll these players would not make our beloved Suns a playoff contender by themselves.
It's not fair to compare Booker to those other stars who all have veteran teams with other top tier talent. None of those guys was the focal point of the team coming into the season, much less the most experienced player. As it stands, the only guys in the projected rotation with more NBA experience than Booker are Chandler, Knight, and Warren.
As much as we like the young guys, Booker is the one proven nba player on our roster.
