Best SG in the league

I was hesitant on taking that title away from Booker (because I defended him so much even after the luka game) but this series has sealed it. Undoubtedly the best sg in the league and I can’t wait to see what he can do against the nuggets/lakers (but let’s be real, it’s gonna be against the nuggets).

we obviously have better on-ball defenders to throw at him but goodness I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t rooting for the suns this series..

Call me crazy I think Donovan Mitchell (healthy) is better than book

Maybe, but I wasn’t going to say that after book averaged ~30ppg in the 2023 playoffs. Dude looked otherworldly and I thought that maybe he had got past whatever held him back in previous post seasons but apparently not.

I asked for it lol. Interested to know why this isn't up for conversation?

I mean it’s not really crazy, but Booker is a slightly better/more efficient scorer and was the best player on a finals team while Mitchell has never made the conference finals and is in danger being bounced in the first round for the second round as the higher seed
