Devin Booker is the greatest player EVER in Suns history

[GatorAZ]

Well. Booker might be having the best Suns career of any other player that was a Sun, but he is certainly not the best player to ever wear a Suns uniform. Put it this way. Just ask a simple question to any NBA fan. "Who was a better player _____________________ or Devin Booker?"

Shaq
Connie Hawkins
Chris Paul
Charles Barkley
Steve Nash
Amare was probably better
Good grief, I might even consider Paul Westphal a good candidate for being an overall better player.
I might argue that as a player, Tom Chambers was better.

He hasn’t had a better career than Nash. Even if you take away the awards Nash was a more valuable player. Book has been a great scorer throughout his career and was a star when he had a great PG. Based on longevity I would put him over Barkley even though Chuck peaked higher.

Shaq was better as a Sun than Book? I don't see it, at all. Shaq was here like 2 years and was an All-star based on reputation more than his play.

Read the post again. That is SPECIFICALLY what I was NOT saying.

Good grief. If you include guys who briefly played here, you could add Grant Hill, Danny Manning, Jason Kidd, etc. Robert Horry, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal.....

I thought so but wasn't sure why you'd add that caveat to the discussion. No one here would argue Booker is a GOAT level player and opening up the debate to guys who were only here briefly to discuss what they did elsewhere shouldn't impact their chances of making the Ring of Honor or being honored in other ways by the team.

It's best to set criteria, if we are going to compare. Best NBA player and best Suns player can be two different things.
