Why is Jayson Tatum generally rated higher than Devin Booker? (alien.top)

My brother in-law and I often argue whether Booker or Tatum is better than another. It’s not the best argument because we’re both extremely biased, him being a Celtics and Duke fan and I’m a lifelong Suns fan. I also know it’s difficult to compare the two because they play different positions and roles on their respective teams.

That’s why I wanted to ask y’all, why is Tatum or Booker better than the other?

i argue that booker is becoming not just slightly better on offense, but significantly better due to the development on playmaking since last year's playoffs which has continued so far this year. if he can keep scoring efficiently as well as run the offense, his advantage on offense can be as big or bigger than Tatum's on defense.

plus, in today's league offense just matters more anyway.
