re: Do you consider Devin Booker or Trae Young in your top 10 best current NBA players?

He’s not even close to that. There is tons of data that show that he is nowhere near one of the absolute best players. You are a victim of a small sample size. You prob ain’t seen but 10 games all year by PHX.

Would you rather a player perform in the regular season and shite in the playoffs or perform in the playoffs?

I know my answer and it's the playoffs. It's where real basketball is played.

Booker is torching teams.

His PER and BPM have never suggested he was elite, ever. None of his stats do.

Boom I dont understand you bud, but i respect your energy.

We have stats that remove bias and judge all players by the same standards. Booker is good, all star level player, but not close to the truly elite players in the league. He just isn’t and it’s not a knock on him. Only reason I am here is bc it is disrespectful to the great players to put someone like booker on their level.

Someone’s apparently ignoring Booker’s breakthrough’s happening right now, shame he isn’t enjoying this greatness, we knew Booker was capable of this since his 70 point game now he’s putting it all together. Must be a miserable life to hate like this, Boom.

I'm a huge Suns fan and Booker is my favorite current player in the league, but I still don't think he is a top 10 player in the NBA (yet). I think he is somewhere around 15ish. In no particular order, here are 10 players off the top of my head that I have easily ahead of Book:
KD
LeBron
Kawhi
Jokic
Curry
Giannis
Embiid
Dame
Luka
Harden

But the only player above that is younger than Book (24) is Luka (22), so if Book keeps progressing, he can easily be a top 5-10 player for years to come.

Boom looks stupider by the day in light of what BOOKER JUST DID WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE

3 turnover in the last 3 minutes. Yea he showed us. What was he 5-20 with 8 turnovers. I guess one good possession out of 4 is good enough when the bar is that low.

So booker was worse, against a worse team, and he had use of two legs not one.

Hardens first year in HOU his numbers were better than bookers this year. literally

These guys are not on the same planet.

Here ya go. Dud trying to compare the two when harden in his first year in HOU was a LOT better than booker this year. I am very thankful to not have the eye test that some of these posters around here have been cursed with.
