I haerd this on the radio yesterday. If anyone can find the whole clip, Gambo goes on much longer than this. He's basically that Booker is not taking over games like any of the other stars do at the end of games. Gambo is like, score. We need you to score. He thinks Booker is a good number two guy. Dave Burns is like, and the Suns built around a number two guy? I do think they were right that we need 2022 Booker who can carry a team in the playoffs. I think they are wrong in that Booker was a top ten scorer in the whole league this year, and many kept saying he had a down year!

Gambo is knucklehead but he is 100% right. Book is a #2 who sometimes plays like a #1.

yes, on both counts. Booker's key problem is he has always played as if he was Kobe, but the truth is, Booker isn't even Booker

and though he could be the #2 go-to (non-3pt) scorer on a team, he's just about always the weakest defender, which is half the game. And he's not a true point guard. So, what are we paying for that we wouldn't be better off replacing with Green and a true point guard? Jersey/shoe sales?
