I don’t think spot up shooting is his strength. He came out of Kentucky with the reputation of being a dead shot but he proved (a) he wasn’t as good a shooter as everyone assumed and (b) he was much better putting the ball on the floor and driving and creating his own shot. His three point percentage is lower than I would have expected (and likely lower than most fans probably assume it is).
Agreed for the most part. I do however believe that his shooting will look better and better as he gets put into better and better positions, but he certainly is far more than just a shooter.

Booker with 2 big shots one being a 3! Bender is kind of frustrating really hope he hits more of his threes when open...

Great gm so far by Chris s and Warren!

Like the tempo of the suns with new coach see how it continues as season progresses.

Go Suns!

The Suns are responding to coaching and playing the right way. Ulis could be the Suns starting point guard again like last season.

Bender is going to be an amazing defensive player.

Suns are looking good. It's like watching a different team.


His defense is incredible right now, one of main reasons we are winning.

Man please let him get the jumper and handles, offensively we would then be seeing the same thing as his defense.

Ricky Rubio is such trash. Dude is shooting above his career average at 39% now.

The Jazz won't win anything with him.

His jumper will be fine. He is young, not used to the NBA three-point line. His form is a little flat, but that will get fixed.
