I dont think im being biass when I say he is a top if not the top young talent in the league. This guy will be top 10 in NBA scoring this year as long as he averages over 32-33mpg.

The thing that really amazes me is how slow he plays, in complete control, nothing is too big for him. He looks like a 10 year vet.

I don't mind if he's not a top scorer in the league in year two. I would just like to see some decent efficiency in the regular season this year and hopefully he's a star in 3-4 years. If Bledsoe is healthy he's the best player on the team and one of the better 2-way guards in the league.

Did you watch last night's game? Booker was the best player on the court and it wasn't close. I don't know what that means as it was just one game and a preseason one at that but it was pretty impressive nonetheless. It will be interesting to see how he deals with the defensive attention he's going to be seeing nightly. Bledsoe may still be our best player but I suspect Booker will be the one opposing coaches focus the most on.

Yes I watched all of it.

Good point ^^. Books did get a lot of attention towards the end of last year as he was he only healthy scoring threat. I think having Bledsoe or Knight next to him at all times will keep the double teams away at least.

Bled is licking his chops. Double Book and look out for Bledsoe.

Thing I like about Booker is that unlike Knight, he isn't a ball hog or ball stopper. If you double team him, he's gonna pass and find the open guy.

I've noticed at times when he isn't even looking to score, he's just looking to draw that second defender to get his teammate the open shot.
