You are seriously trying to argue here that Booker and Poole are the same level of player?not sure how it's silly. what were the Suns doing with Booker as the team's leader pre-CP3? Sure, he was putting up All Star numbers but the team was finishing in 10th-15th place. That NBA first team didn't come until '22, with CP3 playing some of his best hoop.
their development trajectories are different. Book was given the keys to the Suns' franchise by his 2nd or 3rd year, while Poole had to sit behind Steph and Klay. it's hard to earn that supermax and get onto an all nba team coming off the bench for two HoF.
Poole could very well end being the same player Book was during his first five years with the Suns.
So if the choice were both dudes at 23, you would be indifferent between the two?
So then tell us, if their trajectories are different, how more years until Poole is a top 15 player. And one of the best guards in the league?
