I doubt Derrick is going to go tonight and with Brooks already out with a hamstring I bet we see Jimmy play some Point God tonight. Hes already said he wants to guard curry.
Suns game the other night was funny. Apparently Devin Booker was trash talking Butler. Butler predictably spanked that ass. Booker is just another Calipari groupie destined to be an NBA washout. For every Anthony Davis it seems like there are 10 marquis teagues or devin bookers.

Yes. That is actually more than I can say 75% of the time.

I think Booker will be a decent starter someday. The kid is like 19.5 years old.

The fact that he can really shoot and is athletic.

Hes been glued to the bench mostly. Only 73 minutes so far this year.

He's not even 20 years old and they have guard depth. They knew he wouldn't get to play a ton this season.

If you were just going to default to this, why'd you even ask for his reasoning?

I thought he had something more than 'shot 45% for Kentucky and is young'

I like Booker and the Suns like Booker. But part of the problem is they really need to find out if Archie Goodwin is gonna "take the next step" and whether they'll exercise the club option on him. I think they'd like to continue to see Goodwin be the first guard off the bench and let Booker "develop" a little more, but he may actually be too good to keep buried on the bench.

Butler on Suns rookie Booker: "He was talking trash to me; crazy. I was like, ‘Excuse me.’ Sometimes I think you should just play."

I'll stick with what I said about Dragic last year. Yes, he's struggling shooting right now, but he's also taking fewer shots and Miami's offense has slowed down considerably this season. I never said he would be "star", just that I enjoyed watching him play and that I thought he gave the Suns some toughness, something this pansy-ass franchise has always lacked.
