He's been in the league for 4 years and never made it the playoffs, not even close to it. The Phoenix Suns led by Devin Booker are always at the bottom of the league. He's a loser who doesn't make his team better.

I'm going to have to agree with Noah, however, a friend of mine sides with Booker saying "I agree with Booker. These practices are not trying to simulate game conditions. Each player has a unique reason to participate. During a game the goal is to win."
Where do you stand?

A bit harsh don't you think? You think the roster surrounding Booker is playoff worthy given the compe ive landscape of the West? Bad ownership, bad draft decisions, etc.
How is it harsh? Everything I said was facts. He doesn't make his teammates better. He can't carry a team to the playoffs. He doesn't play defense. He has no impact on the game, empty stats type of player. Yeah he can score the ball but look where that's got them, still at the bottom of the league every year
They shouldn’t necessarily be a playoff team, but if he is as good as he’s hyped up to be there is enough talent there to at least win 40 games imo. They shouldn’t be ing bottom feeders
Well the Suns have been playing without a PG for several years now. Josh Jackson, Marqueese Chriss, and Dragon Bender were all major busts. The Suns have some veteran pieces with Rubio, Saric, Baynes, and Kaminsky, and should win 35 games this year.
If I'm an NBA coach, I'm doubling this er every possession now.
Might as well, Booker plays NBA games like they're open gym anyway.
Yup. He's clearly enjoying his big stat nights; put pressure on him every single play.
I think teams don't though b/c it's the Suns and the players don't want to sacrifice their own stat padding by not playing an open game.
He's a oot I would have called Zaza Pachulia and told him to guard that pussy
I miss Agent Zero. He always operated on the edge and it was inevitable that he would go over it one day, but it was fun while it lasted.
i can see both sides. if it's an open gym where winner keeps the court and you know you'll have to wait awhile to play again if you lose, yeah that do whatever to win. double team, hand check, etc.
But I'm assuming since these guys are pros, the gym was closed off and they could just run it back over and over. If so, yeah then double teaming is weak. When else are you going to work on your defensive game and what better time than when you're guarding one of the best scorers in the NBA in a meaningless game? Pickup should be about getting better, not trying to win every game at the expense of working on your weaknesses. Like I said, the only exception is when there's a line out the ass and you need to hold down the court, but that's likely not the case here
