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?

As others have mentioned, defense is a huge factor, as well as health. Also, I am not sure of Booker's on/off numbers, but Tatum's are insane. People always talk about the talent around Tatum, but once he is off the court, the team completely crumbles. And when he is on, no matter who is out there with him, they excel.

Booker is an extremely talented player - maybe even slightly better offensively - but he doesn't quite have that heliocentrism of the league's other superstars that Tatum has seemingly developed.
