Devin Booker is the greatest player EVER in Suns history

[Hoop Head]

Those 25 assists by Kevin Johnson in 1994 are amazing as well.

Yeah that's always stood out considering we've had Kidd, Nash, and CP3 come here after that was done. All 3 of those guys are HOF playmakers and should be in anyone's top 5 PG GOAT lists with Magic and Stockton. Somehow KJ still holding that despite MVP level seasons though is remarkable.

 

[Yuma]

Of all those, the 31 rebounds by nurkic is the most amazing to me.

Especially since it's Nurkic.

Especially since guys having a hot night dealing dimes has to overcome all the missed shots by teammates. You need a hot team on the floor the same time you are dealing those dimes.

Especially since it's Nurkic.

Why? He averaged 11 boards per game, which was more than his scoring average, 10.9 ppg, and he had a non rebounding PF in Durant playing next to him. Not many players are good rebounders now as they often don't even try to compete for them. Nurkic actually fights for boards, unlike Ayton or Tyson Chandler did before him.

We have had some really good rebounders. Just saying since a lot of fans say he's washed. Remember Barkley was throwing up some sick rebounding games? If I had not seen that game Jokic set the record, my gut would have been to guess Barkley.

We shall see, but Harden hasn't scored over 35 in a game since the playoffs 2 years ago.

We had fallen in love way too much with the midrange game. In todays NBA it’s the three that opens up the midrange.

If Beal and/or Durant miss any significant time this year, This could be Booker's first season averaging 30+. Hopefully not because I would rather we just stay healthyish..

he figured out the cheat code

The team is more balanced and he's not having to do so much anymore on all ends of the game. Credit the FO for this.

the post shows the increase in 3s this year - book is scoring more points on less shots - the FO definitely deserves credit but they aren't hitting the 3s

Interesting, but more interested to know how they compile the "3P Shot Quality" stat. Is that related to % of open 3s vs ones where there are guys in his face? And what constitutes an "F" vs an "A"?

That was one of the most fun times I’ve ever had watching a basketball game. He was hitting from everywhere!
