Different type of players

He hasnt been that impressive when Embiid has been out. I like him no doubt but people sleep on Booker
Simmons gonna have a decent right handed jumper next year, will change everything

1st szn - 14/2/3 on 42/34/84 , 53 TS%

2nd szn - 22/3/3 on 42/36/83 , 53 TS%

3rd szn - 24/5/4 on 45/38/87 , 57 TS%

Great improvement from season 2 to season 3 and kid JUST turned 21

All i see is James Harden before Dantoni. Shit, Harden wasnt even that good until his 4th season. Booker will be right there
Harden had to compete with Russ, and KD for shots. Booker has no one like that

Current hornets jerseys are not bad at all

But they should have just went pure retro honestly





The good news is they will be wearing the white throwbacks in 2018. Not sure if this season or next though. Probably next

Booker is a killer, he wont disappear in the playoffs like Harden. Just wait until he has a team around him and gets to the playoffs

Harden was nothing but a volume scorer before Dantoni lol so its weird that youd sleep on booker this much

You’re also dismissing the fact that he just turned 21

No one is going to take you seriously if you continue to compare booker to harden

Thats fine, im patient. Will be sipping my tea in a year or two when yall realize that Booker is the real deal

Offensively, Booker will be able to do everything that Harden does, he already has no flaws in his offensive game. Just give him time and youll see

We will never be able to forget Hardens disappearing acts in the playoffs, so you’re right i shouldnt compare him to someone who cant show up when his team needs him the most

Booker is a killer in moments like that and he will prove it once he has a squad around him

The job of a star is to elevate his team

Phoenix has some guys. They just suck even with booker

Hardens first year in houston had who? And in a deeper western conference

Parsons..who has sucked away from james
Lin..im sure you make fun of him
Asik..I know you hate asik
Patterson, marcus morris, delfino

So keep playing the "wait til he gets a team" card you love. Just like with westbrook last year. Its about the job of stars to make their teammates better

18 shots a game for 24 points on 57 TS%

How much different is he at the age of 21 than Harden was at 21?

Before Dantoni, Harden was “just a volume scorer”

People forget the kid just turned 21 two months ago

Has everything on offense. 3 ball, midrange, post game, turnaround from the left and right shoulder, attacks and finishes around the rim

Sky is the limit. Hes improved accross the board every single season. Each year has gotten better and not just at scoring
idk about that. his assist numbers have always been good. even as a full time shooting guard.
