    Okay, ignoring your first paragraph where you’ve managed to repeat back exactly what I Posted a few posts ago, I would agree with you that shooting % doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve got to run again so can’t dig into it but at first glance I should be comparing efg% not fg%...to say Ray Allen...

    Sure but it’s the best general single, levelled (adjusted for minutes and pace) indicator of a player’s output. Not perfect but definitely relevant. And the classic example of its relevance is Booker - hang around this board long enough and you’d think he’s one step away from the MVP trophy...

    He deserves the max, I’ve said that, but not without considering his glaring weakness of poor shooting %. i’d guess and say there’s probably a bunch of guys who could score as much if they played for a bad team such as the Suns and were given license to shoot as much as he does, but Booker’s...

    That would be a great price and wouldn’t rule out Doncic as a pick if bigs we want aren’t there, as the tweet implies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Weird, i searched for this thread using ‘booker’ in the title and only got the extension one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    But yes, in booker’s case we’re maxing him on potential not output. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16, 5 and 4 in his second year and built like he is? Calling him lousy is not even close to being a fair comment.

    Question is is Booker worth it? Considering the top 50 salaries (max and near max) in the nba this year + Embiid + Wiggins who are maxxed from next year, ranked by PER (if anyone wants the list I can provide it..): If we maxxed Booker today, his PER of 18.6 puts him 33rd on the list i.e. there...

    This is a good article about max contracts and why clubs are more wary of dishing them out - and explains why we hear names like Aaron Gordon being talked about as being available, even though they probably won't be. Management are ringing around to see what the actual value of their player is...

    From what I can tell, a Max contract offer for a rookie coming off his 4 year deal (2 years guaranteed plus 2 years club options exercised and no super max qualifiers - all-nba teams, mvp or dpoy awards) will be for 25% of the cap as they have < 6 years experience. 7 - 10 years with one club...

    Wiggins got 5yrs and $150m with a PER of 16.5. Sucks to be Minnesota as he’s tailed down to 13.5 PER this season... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Detroit are in a head to head playoff battle right now, and if they can’t beat a tanking team they’re toast tonight against Miami. Then again it’s the nba so yes, anything can happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm in rush so I can't filter these results but he's crudely 282nd out of 510 players to have stepped on an NBA court this season. LBJ and KD are both top 20, that's how good those two are. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2018_per_game.html (and I came across that DeAndre...

    At some point his fg% must get better otherwise he's on a path to being overrated, not least by us.

    So Booker was the third youngest ever to 4000 points behind LBJ and KD..Impressive stuff although it sounds like an over hype so I did some digging and it totally is for now, although DB's 3pt% is competitive. LBJ and KD knocked the 4k mark off very early into their third seasons, Booker nearer...
