Y'all pretend he's the best player in the league when he and Booker are basically the same guy but Book is appropriately rated
Because Tatum>Booker only ones who don't think so is Suns fans.
Mind altering cope. The literal only things a basketball player can do on a court that Booker was better than Tatum at last season was passing and dribbling, and only marginally better in those. Outside of that, Tatum completely blows him away. Purely in scoring, Tatum scored 2.3 ppg more on .6% better TS without playing next to one of the greatest pure point guards ever setting his table. Tatum pulled down double his rebounds a game. It only gets worse if you look to advanced or defensive stats. Tatum nearly doubled him up in all 3 of WS, WS/48, and VORP. DBPM puts Booker at -.6 and Tatum at .7 and DWS puts Booker at 1.9 to Tatum's 4.3. There isn't a single compelling argument for Booker over Tatum, there's barely even an argument at all. You can't point to stats, advanced stats, or team success.
I guess if you ignore 50% of basketball, then yeah.
Defense? Cause Booker plays good defense
