Paul 2600 million renewal Suns, the upper limit is limited but the fig leaf has not been completely torn off!
When it comes to the most disappointing teams in the league this season, there are many teams that can be thought of, but when it comes to the most outrageous teams, the Suns, who have a high ceiling and a low ceiling, are definitely the best among them, and they can rely on the firepower of the Big Three to beat any team at the top of the rankings, but they will also lose to some bad teams due to the deformity of the roster. That's not all, the Suns, who had won seven in a row before the Matrix, played a very outrageous performance, after Booker scored 62 and 44 points in a row, and did so extremely efficiently, the Suns were hard to find a win, and lost two in a row on the road. 5 years 2600 million, renewing the Suns, personal ability has been proven time and again, but there is also a gap between you and the top stars.
Obviously, despite repeated defeats, despite repeated defeats, he has been repeatedly reprimanded, this is not his own problem, but Booker is indeed a relatively embarrassing star during this time, others cut a high score, usually career night, but when he scored exaggerated points in a row, the team lost more than once. Remember that in the first half of the calendar, Booker was the most questioned. At that time, due to Paul's departure, Booker took on the task of organizing the team's offense. But playmaking isn't just about assists, and it's not just about assist-to-turnover ratios. Don't say it, compared to a defensive master like Paul, once he encounters a forward defense or is blocked, Booker looks very tough even if he gets rid of it.
Coupled with the fact that the Suns had a mediocre or even bad record at the time, Booker was considered a regression after leaving Paul"Brushes"Most people believe that Paul took Booker to heights that did not belong to him. Without Paul, let alone the playoffs, Booker couldn't even get into the playoffs, and all kinds of slanders and insults followed. In the face of these negative evaluations, Booker is helpless, because he has not successfully transformed, half a season has passed, the Suns have given up, Booker has also given up, he has returned to the state of a super scorer, he has proved that he is no longer obsessed with Booker's series organization, his individual offensive efficiency is back, and he is still the most inexplicable super scorer one-on-one.
There is some truth to the claim that Paul took Booker to a height that he did not belong to, at least for now, but it is an exaggeration to say that Paul tore off Booker's fig leaf. Whether Paul is there or not, Booker will be a top scorer if he wants to. He doesn't let his surroundings lead to a decline in his individual offensive effectiveness, and he has proven that many times early in Booker's career. However, it has to be admitted that Booker is one"Pure No. 2 scorer", his ceiling has certain limitations. Because he's first and foremost a pure No. 2 scorer, he's become a failed two-way defender, and his ability to concentrate on playmaking will be limited on the one hand, and his offensive efficiency will drop dramatically on the other.
Second, to say that Booker is a pure scorer is because his ability in all aspects and his role on the defensive end are not as good as a superstar should be. That's not to say that if you can't be a two-way guard, you can't be a superstar and you can't lead a team to a championship. Historically, there have been many excellent two-way defenders who have gone down in history, with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant being prime examples. In their careers, it's been more about the ability to score when they're forced to break through defense, and they haven't shown much playmaking talent, but unlike Booker, these two super point guards have some of the best top-tier defensive abilities in history, in addition to their own offensive scoring ability.
Over the course of his career, Bryant was named to the All-Defensive Team 12 times, including nine first-team selections; Jordan was named to the All-Defensive First Team nine times and also won the DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year in the league), the award that best demonstrates a player's ability to defend. While they're not known for their two-way guards, when it comes to these top defenders,"Offensive and defensive"It's an easy word to describe, and it's a quality that a top superstar should have. But Booker, to be honest, his defensive ability, his performance, does not allow anyone to dare to praise him, let alone the best defensive team, when it comes to defense, you don't think of the name Booker at all.
The good thing about Booker though, is that he's still young and may not be a historic top superstar, with a limited ceiling, but he still has a chance to succeed. Booker is currently only 27 years old, which is the best age of his career. After the contract extension with the Suns, the contract totals 5 years and 2$600 million. To be honest, it's a bit difficult for the Suns lineup to succeed. The offense is all personal, the defense is loose and undisciplined, and for the 30-year-old Beal and the 35-year-old Durant, they want to change, it's a little difficult. But Booker is okay, he needs to find a suitable partner in the rest of his career, and then the Suns' lineup is the answer, with the playmaking master (Paul), the defensive leader on the front, this is the lineup that suits Booker.
