Booker is one of those high-scoring shooting guards that handles the ball a lot and looks like a star with highlight heroics but really hovers around being an average efficiency scorer with high turnovers. They aren't helping their team win as much as it seems, if at all, because more efficient scorers on the team aren't getting the ball shared with them and the team is getting more TO's and fewer easier shots than they should have. Players like Booker, Bradley Beal, Donovan Mitchell. You could also add this year's Paul George and Westbrook to that group (not careers, which are much better), but the latter two are good rebounders and PG gets steals, so they at least get the team possessions. Other guys should be the primary ballhandler/distributor as much as possible. You're always better off with a CP3 or Lebron setting up a play for a dunk or an open corner three than you are with Booker or Westbrook running the clock down and driving into the crowd for a contested shot or TO.

What is this stupidity? Why is Glanton's post here, but not mine?
Nuraman, you better figure out quickly when to edit and just as importantly, when not to. And you need to be consistent. My opinion - don't meddle and determine when a post is inappropriate or not or where it belongs. Hopefully, you have better things to do with your time. You should only exclude posts that are offensive to a group (i.e. racial) - otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy and you'll drive people away.

Here's a couple of big brains debating it: Hes absolutely right... but it wasn't just the knee that reduced Paul George from a mighty warrior to a social media whore

Booker is talented and in the right role can be a very useful piece. He's more of a tough shot maker than a shot creator though and Dallas game planned to expose it last night and especially with CP3 not willing (or able) to be super aggressive it worked.

Here's a couple of big brains debating it: I watched a couple more segments with Pat Bev and JJ. It is funny how both of them don't want to play the tv game and Stephen A. is protecting CP. Pat Bev really doesn't like CP.

Very talented tough shot maker. CP3 wasn't able because after the first few games, Kidd's entire strategy turned to wearing him out and shutting him down with everything he had. And it worked perfectly because nobody else was able to be a play maker and many more shots required tough shot makers.

Devin Booker playoff performance this year, vs. Paul George playoff performance last year, if any find that interesting: So I think these are better comparisons: Would you trade Paul George for Donovan Mitchell? Would you trade Paul George for Devin Booker? I think he's fairly close to both players. I think all three are top 20 but not top 10. All three are built to be the second best player on a championship-contending team. Can you update your Booker, Mitchell, and George comparisons, once Cleveland's playoffs are over? With respect to either their playoffs this year, or their cumulative playoffs careers.

With respect to either their playoffs this year, or their cumulative playoffs careers. Happy to update once all three teams are out of the playoffs. It's a total-playoffs statline and measuring it while some are still playing in the playoffs would skew 2022-2023. But sure, when they're all out I am happy to post the same comparison. Maybe this time with all three side by side so it's easier to read.

Oh yeah when I made that post, I forgot Booker was still in the playoffs.
I was only thinking of Mitchell, since Cleveland was on the brink of elimination, so their huge game today was on my mind.
And George was on my mind, since his team was just eliminated.

What's the latest on the 3 players when compared?
Did you like your keto Irish Soda Bread recipe?

I forgot about this thread. Will have to look at a comparison. I have no recollection of a Keto irish soda bread recipe. I mean, I make irish soda bread, and I sometimes eat keto, but I don't recall trying to combine the two. Maybe using Almond flour?

I just saw your browser tab had a recipe, in the left most tab. Maybe it was something you found, but didn't decide to make.

Booker has had over 60% TS% for the last two seasons. As opposed to 53-56% earlier in his career.
PG13 is having a career best 61% this year.
