Would the Phoenix Suns swap rosters with the Philadelphia 76ers?
By Adam Maynes
Shooting Guard
Devin Booker vs Zhaire Smith
This is the easiest decision in the world: Pass.
While his overall scoring is down a little bit this season under new head coach Monty Williams‘ offense (and the fact that Ricky Rubio is in control of the offense and not Book), Devin Booker is still far and away the better shooting guard of the two and easily someone that the Phoenix Suns would not easily want to swap.
Especially with the Philadelphia 76ers.
So far Devin Booker is averaging 23.8 points per game, which is near four points lower than last season.
However, he is also shooting a blistering 47.1% from beyond the arc (16-34), and looking more and more like Klay Thompson and less like Stephen Curry every day (you know you would take either in their healthy prime).
Add in the fact that he is still averaging 5.3 assists and the question when asked if the Suns would swap positions with the 76ers is: Zhaire Smith, who?
Remember the guy who the Suns gave up to trade for Mikal Bridges?
Bridges is next, by the way.
