Leadership role. He brought a lot of fun to the fabric of being a “jazz man”

Rudy/Don’s issues aside. Rudy also had issues with Hayward. Not saying Rudy is hard to get along with, I just think he doesn’t feel the need to do extra curricular bonding.

I’m in now way diminishing Booker being the leader on the Suns (he has been for years). They just lead differently and I think the Jazz were always able to exceed expectations (and still are).

Suns have definitely started to come around in exceeding the expectations.
