Suns News: Week 14 1/14-1/20
Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/14-1/20
Those season records are brutal. Booker's never known anything here but catastrophic team failure. I hope we haven't broken his spirit. And what a cavalcade of mediocre-to-horrible coaches he's had to endure.

Looking back, was Hornacek the best Suns' coach he's had? It's pretty close between Horny, Triano, and Kokoskov and that's not saying much.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 1:33 amThose season records are brutal.

The sad thing is that Hornacek and Igor were both considered top assistants ready for the big chair. I wonder how much better they might have done in a less toxic situation. I still think that Igor might do well with a good PG.

Anthony Davis gave the Pelicans 7 years, and that was with playoff runs.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 1:33 amThose season records are brutal.

How many years does Booker give the Suns? Next year is his 5th already!

I'm not that worried about Booker. I don't think he can be the best player on a title contending team.
Sure, it would suck to have to go through some of this Butler-AD type bullshit, but the guy is a max player who hasn't really even sniffed an All-NBA team yet.

That's a hot take. I wonder myself, but then I see a guy like AD and he hasn't led them to anything other than a 1st round playoff victory. It's not about one player.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 4:04 pmI'm not that worried about Booker. I don't think he can be the best player on a title contending team.

Anthony Davis is light years ahead of Devin Booker as a player.

Also, he's got one year left on his current deal after this one. Booker has 5. Booker is 3.5 years away from having any leverage to request a trade.The Bobster wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 4:27 pmAnthony Davis is light years ahead of Devin Booker as a player.

It's probably only a hot take to Suns fans. Everyone tends to overvalue their own players, especially ones their team drafted.In2ition wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 4:12 pmThat's a hot take.

Don't get me wrong, Booker is a very good player with flashes of greatness, but he still has a lot to prove for me to believe he can be "the guy" that leads a team into title contention.

AD is 7-foot tall 2-way player who can do pretty much anything offensively. Booker is an undersized shooting guard who occasionally defends well and has mediocre playmaking skills.Shabazz wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 5:06 pmAlso, he's got one year left on his current deal after this one.

I recently stood about 5 feet from Booker. I’m just over 6’3 and while this is obviously not scientific, he felt a couple inches taller. All nba players use their height with shoes. I’d buy booker being 6’5 barefoot, which would make him 6’6 in shoes. Also, a quick check shows he measured 6’4.5 barefoot at the combine.
