Booker s role with Suns, Jaylen Johnson s super triple-double

With today's 33 points, Booker has quietly scored 371 points this season, second in the league behind Alexander, and fourth in the league in assists.

In terms of creating points, he should be almost the same as Alexander Jokic.

50%+38%+88% season. Averaged 28 points and 7 assists per game. Jaylen Green played two games and then rested, Dillon played half a game and half didn't play, and the four small centers took turns to play.

can also lead the Suns to seventh place in the Western Conference.

The weirdest thing is that Booker is not the core ball-handler of the Suns (Cunningham, Luka). He spends less time with the ball in each game than Giannis:

30% pick-and-roll, 20% counterattack, 10% one-on-one, and then run without the ball - and Jaylen Green is not playing yet - the Suns are not currently "one person holding the ball and four people watching", but a quite balanced team.

Today, he is still the first in the Kobe Bryant Imitation Contest for today's right-hand one-step strong shot, high-hand shot, fake turn-over shot, and right-shoulder turn-over shot.

Jaylen Johnson had a super triple-double today with 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and 7 steals. My buddy Okongwu had 32 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 8 three-pointers.

In the past two games, Jayo was 2 assists away from a triple-double, and today he is 2 assists away.

Written before the season:

Before Jaylen Johnson suffered a shoulder injury last season, he was the perfect support forward of this era: versatile, no shortcomings, adaptable to any teammate, and he is approaching the first All-Star in his career. He can pass the ball, can catch and shoot, fly on the fast break, is a rebounder and can defend in multiple positions, and he has no weaknesses that are obvious enough to burden his teammates. If he has one hand to get rid of the mid-range shot and another hand to hit the back, you can simply ask the Rockets:

"Should Shen Jing be replaced?"

Since Yang's injury, Jayo has averaged 20 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game. In the past three games, he has averaged 24 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists per game: only Dyson and he can instigate the team, and Dyson also tries his best to match Yang, then, run!

Today the Jazz made the mistake of going back and forth with the Eagles. The Eagles' offense was unstable in the half, but the forward group started running, Jayo pushed the ball, and his teammates finished the game, which was refreshing.

He can predict the opponent's thoughts, intercept the ball and throw long passes; he can send deadly passes at the top of the arc; he can hit the ball with his left hand on a fast break, and he can feed the weak side corner during counterattacks. It's a bit difficult to break through dense defenses in position, but he's invincible when running.

Jayo's current style of play is a bit like the role that the Atlanta Hawks wanted Boris Diaw and Josh Smith to assume:

A forward who is just over two meters tall, can do everything, and occasionally has a triple-double - Diaw is cunning but lazy, Josh is enthusiastic but stupid; in terms of intelligence and sharpness, Jayo is in the middle of these two?

Watching Dyson Okonburisashejie dating these four swinging teenagers, I still occasionally think:

Trae Young and these young people have really different styles...
