Booker is bound to be a superstar. On the offensive end at least. Thats all that really matters though right? Booker will most likely never be an above average defender, but that is not the role that he needs to fill on this team. If Booker can be a 25 points per game scorer and above average facilitator then Phoenix will be in the business of being a competitive playoff team every year throughout his entire (hopefully lengthy) prime. Any improvement on the defensive side of the ball is strictly a bonus at this point, and would place him in the upper-echelon of NBA stars.
