You don't think Book could be a #2 on a title team? In terms of a #1 there is no question he is not that player. I don't know how anybody could argue otherwise. Although my brother doesn't think so either. He said Book is a #3 that the Suns elevated to a #2 and this why the Suns won't win a title with him no matter who you put next to him.This is arguable. With KD as their 1, the Nets had reeled off like 21 of 24 wins and was either the 1 or 2 seed in the East before he got hurt.
What’s not arguable is he’s not a 1 anymore. And even sadder, Book is DEFINITELY not a 1 and to be honest, isn’t even really a championship level 2 because he’s pretty one dimensional and doesn’t play both sides of the court. And he’s absolute trash as a number 1.
