Forget the very bad double-team debate.
The biggest knocks against Devin Booker being your best player is that he embodies a limited approach to the game of basketball on a big picture scale. Booker’s contributions to a basketball game are either incredibly excellent or non-existent.
Booker has clear and obvious strengths. He scores the ball and sets up teammates among the best in the entire league. Those contributions earned him a maximum contract extension worth at least $158 million over the next five years as the 22-year old approaches his prime.
But he’s not perfect.
