Nothing like a conversation involving ray allen to bring out some trolling behaviour.

Awesome chase down block yesterday... matt barnes knows where he goes to kindergarten though..

Devin became only the second teenager in NBA history (Lebron being the other) to score back to back 30 + games. I know his team is rubbish but the ways he scores already are just amazing, for a guy who is 'just a shooter' he was unstoppable going to the basket as even Jokic couldn't really bother his drives.

Booker is much closer to Klay thompson

ben mclemore was supposed to be the next ray allen too. I like Booker but let's wait a little while on the Ray comparison.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

MILESTONE FOR BOOKER
With 16 points, Suns rookie guard Devin Booker reached 1,014 for the season, making him the fourth-youngest player to reach 1,000 in his career, following only LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant.

tp.  Shame he went a few picks before our crapshoot options at 16.

I do wonder if he'd be getting d league treatment on our roster.  It's pretty loaded with quality players.  We don't really have minutes for unproven developing talent.  It's possible booker would have spent the majority of this year on dleague without getting a significant opportunity to find a rhythm.  I have to hope that guys like rozier (and James young) still have a future and just aren't getting opportunities yet.   But it's also possible they are bums.  Hard to say.

I'd be extremely interest to known if Danny attempted to trade up for him as well or even rated Booker before the draft, I know Booker didn't workout for Boston but I'm sure he would have scouted him throughout the draft process.

Danny says he we need scorers. Seems like he fits the bill.

Try to trade the Brooklyn pick for Devin Booker?

I like Booker more than Hield or Murray.

I agree with this.  We just don't know what we have yet with our younger guys although I have to admit I've definitely soured on James Young.  Rozier has gone to the front of the class with what he's shown when given the opportunity to play.  Have to wait and see on Hunter and Mickey.  With 3 1st round picks (assuming we keep them) some of the guys I just mentioned might be gone too.  This summer is going to be a lot of fun.

Definitely depends on where we land in the draft. If #1-2 I'd say keep it (would rather have a SF - Simmons or Ingram - than another SG), but if we get #3 or lower I would deal it for Booker.

A non top-2 pick? In a heartbeat. The Suns would have to be crazy though.
