I don't think as highly of him as you do and I think he is very good.
Would I take Tatum over him? Yes. Better two way player.
But yes Booker came close to winning a title. Chris Paul was the leader of that team. Funny how when they lost guys like Bridges and Johnson that Ayton became less tough.
Anyway, my previous point was simply to point out that Booker has been good in the playoffs other than this year. He is a better player than what he showed this year. I think very highly of him. But his team was poorly constructed.
