Breh it's so maddening because you can tell he's out to get numbers. Like you can tell he was playing to get numbers against Denver cause Malone told Dave Benz he was more worried about Wiggins and lavine than KAT.

Yep, he's clearly been coming out trying to make a point and show that he's a star/alpha dog, but it has been to the detriment of the team. He called out Dave Benz of halftime of that nuggets game which told me exactly that he was more worried about his stats and making a point than playing team ball and getting a W. The whole "who would you take to start a team" crap where alot of NBA people chose him has gone to his head.

He's a better shooter, that's for sure, but his playmaking and vision is worse than DLo's. He also ain't much as a defender either, so I don't think it means much to say Booker>Russell defensively.
Better scorer, shooter, driving to the rim, finishing at the rim, off-ball, carrying an offense etc etc. He's actually a pretty good defender in relation to his experience; can stay in front of his man, quick hands and knows how to navigate around screens, whereas D'Angelo ain't so good at any of these things.
He's a flat out better player. :manny:

Nah you just listed a bunch of things and said he's better. He's not good defensively whatsoever, our guards have regularly beaten him to the rim whenever he's on them.

Quick hands? This breh averages pretty much zero steals. Has none this game.

And for a guy tha tcan carry an offense so well, his team struggles to win many games whereas DLo's has 3, including one where we carried us over Curry and Co. :lolbron:

I'm not denying Booker's talent, but saying he's better at everything than Russell is just dumb.

That's because he is better.

Don't watch Suns games brehs.

Well if you knew what you were talking about you'd see why the Suns lose games. :francis:
