    I think anyone who actually has decent IQ knows that currently as it sits, Booker is the better hooper.

    You could argue SGA has better on-balll defence but even then this is debatable as Booker’s defence is pretty decent.

    The only difference I see is that SGA currently doesn’t have any all-star caliber teammates and this gives A LOT OF THE CASUALS the delusion that he’s single handedly carrying the team like AI did back in the days.

    This is not true where as Booker has had CP3 and despite my hatred, Deandre Ayton as a teammate (now KD and Beal) so makes it look like he’s not single handedly carrying. Again not true when you look into the context.

    Both top tier players and are in their own league but what separates them is like everyone here has already commented, shooting efficiency, playmaking, passing and proven Playoff resume.

    And because of the above elements it naturally makes Booker the better scorer (not by heaps but still better).

    In the end, I think comparing the two right now is immature and will need to wait another 3~4 seasons to properly say who was / is better player but when you’re comparing the two right now, as in what the players have shown until today, Booker is clearly a better player.

    I’ve said this before but Shamet really was unfairly treated in the Suns.

    Like the dude is not known for his defence. He shines when he comes off the bench for 13~15mins per game and does bench scoring, eg. go look up his stats in the Brooklyn Nets.

    Of course when you give him large minutes and make him defend their no.2 or 3 player he’s going to get crushed miserably and get exploited. This also ruins the guy’s confidence and rhythm.

    He’s not an amazing player but definitely a decent role player for what he does (bench scorer) and can still shoot at efficient level (more or less).
