Whom would you rather have on your team?

 

[Jplaya2023]

Mitchel is the better playmaker. Book is the more dynamic scorer. I think a healthy mitch on that suns team win the title. Booker had some no shows in the finals

 

[The God Poster]

Mitch. We’ve seen Book without CP3 & his impact didn’t amount to wins

 

[killacal]

I'll take Mitchell, he has a drive game to fall back on so he's less likely to struggle with a bad shooting night


Booker too hot and cold

 

[Everythingg]

If you’re a guard that isn’t shooting >45% you’re approaching chucker status

Rule changes make that hard

can’t call these guys checkers when they leading scorers on playoff contenders

 

[Flight]

Book

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Lavine>>>>

 

[Collateral]

Spida is better offensively

 

[MJ Truth]

Lavine>>>>

It’s possible. But they’re all grouped in there together to me. Lavine still hasn’t seen a playoff series so he’s definitely the clear third, playoff performance pending. Booker was in that same spot a year ago.

 

[Project Pooch]

Not sure But anyone else expected Mitchell to take a leap after beating the thunder in playoffs as a rookie?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I have a love/hate relationship with Booker's game.

He's incredibly skilled at what he does, and he clearly has a deep love for the game, but his infatuation of gravitating towards the midrange every time he touches the ball is nauseating. He'll be by the 3-pt line and he'll sink down to the elbow; he'll be right inside the paint and he'll pull the ball back to the elbow. It stunts the fluidity of the offense at times because what he's doing isn't a natural action. There'll be a certain tempo the Suns play at, a rhythm where they're playing to the beat, and along he comes and tries to stretch out his possessions on some Talib Kweli shyt, and they're all off-beat.

This season he's only attempted 77 shots in the paint (or 10ft in), but has taken 108 shots from the outside the paint to the three-point line.

 

[AVO]

I trust Book more to win the game

Doesn't help that Book is now a Kardashian.



The curse will thrive.



The succubae always prevail.

Mitchell came into the league as kind of a complete player for his style of play. He’s made improvements but I don’t think there was ever really this huge leap that was available to him.
