My dad and I had a debate over this. He loves Durant ever since he bought a car off my pops 12 years ago. Now he follows the suns a lot and is a booker fan as well. He claimed booker is levels above but I disagreee. I personally said it’s close but I prefer Shai because he plays both ends of the floor. I’m sure the debate will be split within this thread. Just curious.

We’re comparing a 9yr player to a 6yr player. I find that a bit unfair on the surface. However let’s put them both on equal footing and start at their 5th season respectively. Both were considered All-Stars at this point in their careers.

These are the categories that SGA beats Booker in:

PPG, RPG, SPG, BPG, FG%, FT%, PER, TS%, and Win Shares.

Booker only bests SGA in APG and 3P%. Such is the case also at this point in their careers. So it’s safe to say that SGA is a better player than Booker.

When it comes to comparing the success in their careers however, Booker is more successful. But that’s about it.
