Devin has shown growth every year in the NBA. He seems to hone in on one thing each off season and make it into a strength: shooting efficiency, passing, defense, free throw percentage...

I mentioned this last year, but I hope Monty and Chris will be in his ear this off season about his handles. He has a lot of unforced turnovers off the dribble, dribbling off his leg, losing the ball in traffic, making silly cross court passes, and getting stripped by average defenders. I'd bet he's one of the worst in the league at ball security on one on ones.

It's an easy fix though: tell Book he sucks at ball security then walk away. Next year, watch out.

Yup. Handles are next on the agenda.

Booker is a fantastic player but he is not kobe or elite......At least not yet. We will see in the playoffs. If he rises and takes the team to the finals then he'll be in the discussion, but he has yet to prove he is at that level. Until then he is just one of many good players.
