Brandon Martin...I agree.Only thing him & Klay have in common is skin tone.Booker's more of an ISO/Slasher....Klay is a screen curl/catch n shoot type guy.People let the light skin fool them.And I know people hate to hear it, but Booker's game is much closer to Kobe's than it is Klay's.Him and Klays game couldn't be more opposite.One guy thrives in ISO(Booker) and the other doesn't.Klay's in the perfect situation.Gets to play with the greatest shooter of all time, a top 3 SF of all time, and not have to worry about being the sole focus of opposing defense.He can just curl & snipe all day.Booker's a Green Beret.He has to get out there in the trenches and get it himself.On top of that, he's only 21 yrs old still.Coming off a 25 5 and 5 season.I don't get why casual fans love to hate on this guy so much.He's one of the best and most exciting young stars to watch in the league.
Brandon Martin....No denying Klay's the epitome of a 3 & D guy.He certainly is.Awesome in that role.I just don't think he's a 1st option/franchise caliber player because you can't give him the ball and say "go get em!"He's an all time great role/complimentary piece.Defenses are geared to stop Steph & KD.All Klay has to do is hit his open shots & play D.No denying he's awesome at that...But if I was starting a franchise tomorrow and you gave me the option of picking Devin Booker or Klay Thompson to build around? I'm taking Booker.For the most part, I believe 1st option players MUST be able to thrive in ISO, and generate their own offense or facilitate for others.Booker's all around more skilled in that regard.
D.Book muh boy. Let's see what the Sun's do this year with Booker, this years 1st round pick Deandre Ayton and a whole bunch of new players, can't wait. I met Book last year, cool dude. #PhxFanForever
80% of his shots are from the right side or center line of the court. He hardly takes a left wing 3 point jump shot, often he drives in for a shorter distance jump shot from the left side.
If only... what a stupid assumption / expectation. If only he could be Giannis or KD or someone else? He's an average height person and that's it. wtf?
