Are u on crack bruh? Drexler, barkley malone, robinson, hakeem. If u wanna go 80's magic, bird, thomas. Probably missing a bunch. Booker is nice but his game is basic. He's a product of the rules and playing in the easiest era ever. Talent wise He's similar to ray allen and alken Houston. Put them in this era and they're doing the same shit.

Crazy how Booker isn't even a top 15 player in today's league but would be top 5 in Jordan's era :roll:

Drexler was better so far anyway. Booker is nice but he's still young so we'll have to see. I actually like him alot but he's nothing special skill wise. He's just playing in an era that's easy as hell. The defensive rules are put in place for players like him.

Joles aside, you really think Clyde Drexler is better than Devin Booker? (Last chance at sanity).

[Bronbron23]

Joles aside, you really think Clyde Drexler is better than Devin Booker? (Last chance at sanity).

Yes. Drexler at his best was better than booker at the moment. It's 2 totally different era's. Booker is a perimeter shooter playing in an era where defenders can't hand check, body, fight through screens or contest shots. Style of play is also geared toward exposing these rules. Throw booker in the 90's and his scoring 19-22 pts a game.

[Gohan]

are we talking about just guards or big men too? if big men are added i can name about 20

He has no case over anyone on that list, whatever order you like above, and that's not including guys like Kyrie, Dame, Tatum or even some of the young bucks like Mitchell, Trae, Booker balling out these playoffs. CP3 at 36 is still a top shelf player and difference maker. I don't think anyone is taking him over Zion. I'm leaving off names too, those just come immediately to mind.

True but he's not a top 10 in 90's either. He has a very basic skill set. Only reason he's putting up the numbers he is is because of the rules and his physicality. Alot of teams are going small ball now and alot of fowards now are smaller. Randell takes advantage of smaller less physical defenders. He wouldn't have this advantage in the 90's. Fowards were big, strong and very physical. Randell wouldn't have the physicality advantage against alot of 90's teams.

Do you remember any of them? I mean throwing numbers Chris Mullin on booker's age got 26.5/6/5/2.1 season on a play off team.

I was actually going to say that Mullin is the only one that is right there. He is my favorite old school 2k guy of all time. So wet from 18-20 feet.

Book has been improving pretty vastly though. I hate comparing people at whatever age. Sometimes guys take a little longer to progress. Like, was Mullin ever any better than he was at 25? Maybe a little..?

Booker is 24 but the best has yet to come with him I think.

[Bronbron23]

Do you remember any of them? I mean throwing numbers Chris Mullin on booker's age got 26.5/6/5/2.1 season on a play off team.

This was also an era where teams were shooting 7 threes a game and good three point shooters like mullin were shooting 2 threes a game. Reverse rolls and mullin scores more now because he's shooting way more threes and booker scorez less then because he's shooting way less threes.

Lol I wasn't making that argument that he'd be top 10 in the 90's. The frontcourt spots were too loaded back then for him to even be an all-star. Malone, Barkley, Kemp, Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing, Admiral, Pippen, Hill, etc were locks.

Booker has been in the league 6 years, he's been an All-Star 2x, never been on any All-NBA team, never been All-Defense, never led the league in scoring, steals, assists, nothing. This is the first year he's been in the playoffs. He literally hasn't done anything but ok, if you want to believe in fairy tales who am I to stop you.

You'd think there'd be way more players in nearly 30 years that you could put on the level of guys from the '92 Dream Team. There's been Shaq, Kobe, LeBron and KD for sure. After that, Steph, AD, Kawhi, Duncan, Iverson, Chris Paul, Wade, Garnett, Kidd, Giannis and Kyrie.

30 years to get that many guys that you could put in the same category as the 92 Dream Team. Nuts.

Thing is, the 92 Dream Team also chose Stockton over Thomas and there's also Shaq that you could argue to be selected over Leattner... the only non-HOF guy.

At the time they wanted a college player, Laettner was way more accomplished coming out of college than Shaq was. It's easy to look back now and say Shaq, but not in 1991.

[insight]

I would take the bench player Vinnie Microwave Johnson before I took a player like Bradley Beal. He used to cook Micheal Jordan and that's no small feat, I don't think Booker or Beal could do that against Micheal Jordan.

Yeah it goes both ways both era's get exaggerated. In bookers case he's probably a top 15-20 player in any era. He's still pretty young though and he's only getting better. Could be a top ten as soon as next year.

[DevBooker'sMask]

The Shooting guard slot may be a little light but overall I would place Hakeem, Barkley, Payton, Stockton, and Magic. I just realized they are all Power Foward, Center and Point Guards but they are in the list with only 1 minute of thinking.

Your comprehension skills are low. You were already told a "meaningful" answer. I listed several names and other posters noted a handful. In the 90s, Booker wouldn't crack the top 10.

[FKAri]

Nope. Not one. Twas a terrible era. Filled with crack addicts and homosexuals. Kinda like 3ball's anus on a Friday night. But we've come a long way from Drexler trying to get a ball to bounce up in the same direction he bounced it down. So next time you see MJ on the streets, thank him and tip him a warm meal(don't give him money because he'll just buy booze).

Yeah man. This game is good example of how booker would struggle more in a more physical era. Refs letting them play and he's struggling to get get looks. I do like booker though. He goes hard and competes no matter how things are going

This is the light version of physical 90s hoops and he was pretty average. He would be a good player in the 90s, he can shoot but he wouldn't be anything special.

As I did ask you before what about the defense of Clippers? All of them are long athletic and tough nose defenders

PG13, Beverly, Batum, and Kawhi if he returns with Zubac as a rim protector. That is a tough team to score against all the time

[Bronbron23]

This is the light version of physical 90s hoops and he was pretty average. He would be a good player in the 90s, he can shoot but he wouldn't be anything special.

Yeah man. Last 2 games were relatively physical and booker shot about 30% from the field and he's 1 for 12 from 3. Physical defense clearly makes a huge difference.

They're a goid defensive team relative to this era but the rules handcuffs them like any good defensive team in this era. They aren't holding teams to 80 points in the regular season. They weren't allowed being physical like this and lesser teams would routinely hand 105-110 on them.

Booker isn't that good

He's okay, but not better than any of those guys

His handle is basic and moves ordinary - a poor man's Beal isn't that good.. Today's spacing produces a bunch of players that play the same

It's crazy because if the NBA decided tomorrow to limit threes or remove the 3-point line, you'd have a bunch of guys that would have no idea what to do.. They would completely suck - if the 3-point line was removed, any lottery team from a prior era would demolish the 17' Warriors...
