Not even sure he leads any good statistical category in the league, he’s the most high-profile player not named CP3 on the best regular season NBA team that’s it

Embiid will win. Jokic and Giannis are the two other contenders


Easy downvote based on that. He is a very distant 3rd for me, maybe even 4th.

Book suffers from too many talented guys on his team.

But Jokic deserves it this year. So does Embiid, dealing with head cases all year guys who are supposed to be robins.


Speaking of, The Sixers should be taken to task more for fricking up the Embiid era.

Everybody is trying to overthink it when it’s obviously Nikola Jokic

His true shooting % is league average. “Points per touch” tells us he doesn’t do much play making.


27/5/5 for a SG, who will be 1st Team All-NBA. But he doesn't do a lot of playmaking

Tell me you don't watch the Suns without telling me you don't want the Suns

5 assists per game is not really playmaker ALL of the advanced stats put him 20 or worse. Not just one. All of them. We not cherry picking.

Denver is a fringe playoff team without Jokic. He’s much more deserving this year.

No one rating him as elite? He is gonna finish top 5 for MVP and all of his metrics say he isn’t even a top 20 player.

Im convinced Boom watches zero basketball, but he does look at basketball reference for hours every night

The # see every play for every player and aren’t biased for or against anyone. Booker just doesn’t come close to the top players in the league. Doesn’t stack up.

Is Booker even the most valuable player on the Suns? RPM would suggest otherwise.

Your friend doesn't think that. You don't have any friends. This was just intended to dump on Devin Booker.

Paul is, but when he missed time they kept winning so there has been a late season push for booker. He wasn’t even in the conversation really before CP got hurt.
