Jarret Allen is food. Dude makes some bad reads sometimes and just gets eaten alive by other bigs
 
Only ONE of those Myrie Pre-Lebron teams were expected to make the playoffs. 2013...and Andrew Bynum was a central reason why people thought they could.

Make of that what you will.
 
Not sign that extension and leave lol

And turn down $150Ms?

This is his 4th season...he's 22 years old.

Please show me the player who HAS done what you're saying Devin Booker should be doing...in the same circumstances that he's in at 22 years old.

This is just like dude who had the criticism for KAT. We've basically gotten to the point...where we're knocking dudes who are virtually babies for not being Lebron James.

Get out of the barbershop...the "make players better" myth needs to die already. There is SOOOOO much more that goes into being a competitive basketball team. Minimizing that down to "one guy should make his teammates" better is lazy as hell.
I said earlier Book reminds me of Cleveland Kyrie. Talented but aint a #1 option. Can he grow into that role, maybe since he still a "baby". I just don't see it

I just want KAT to stop shooting step back 3’s when the paint is wide open :lol
 
Kyrie was 20 years old putting up 23/4/6 on 45/39/86 and people were calling it empty stats.

I hate to be this guy...I really do...but you'd get laughed out of any real basketball gym saying some of this stuff about empty stats. It's legit some of the dumbest **** you can say about a basketball player producing this much on the NBA level.

Like this past summer people were asking "iS DeVin BoOker gOOd" Like come on man y'all gotta stop.
 
Nah, scenario is off. Book in the league for how many years now and the Suns are where? If you are that guy, you can make your teammates better and have some type of success.

We still waiting

They shouldn't have hazed him as a rook, filled his economy car full of popcorn and all types of ish
 
It's called empty stats when you getting yours but your team isn't doing anything.

27/8/8 on 51/34/67
Guess the player and let me know if this is empty or not lol

You can't average 27 a game in the damn NBA and it be empty stats. The entire premise on that is silly. Whether it's Lebron, Devin Booker, Minnesota Kevin Love,

Empty stats doesn't apply to guys who are putting up numbers like this. Questioning some of the context behind those numbers is one thing, but saying he aint it and that his numbers are worthless literally makes no sense.

What do you define empty stats as then

I've already said he's talented. I'm saying he aint it being that guy you build around.
 
Would Booker all of a sudden be a 15 PPG scorer if he was on the Bucks?

Said it on here before

Empty stats happen for sure, but my cardinal rule w/them is always like...certain thresholds supersede the looter in a riot narrative. Like Kevin Love in minnesota. You have to be really really good to do what D Book is doing this season, period. And when you realize that guys like Donovan Mitchell is older than him (!) it kind of puts in perspective how good of a talent peak D Book may be.
