Booker scored 32 points for the Suns in a losing cause against the Pacer last night.. Oh how I wish that Freshman class would have stayed at least two years!! B. Knight also scored 21 in that same game,.
D Booker big game

Great to hear, so glad he is having success and such a big game as that one. Really enjoyed Booker a lot while he was here even though he took some crud from some of the members on this board when he his a cold streak. Hoping for nothing but the best for him and sounds like he is doing really well lately for the Suns. Hope it continues for him.
Happy he's doing well. And although I wanted him (selfishly) to return, I thought he made the right decision. Not because I thought he was ready, honestly thought it would take a couple years, but because as a shooter (2G) I didn't think his stock would go up much more (they rarely go in top 5, and only athletic ones in top 10).
Lyles is the one (well and of course DJ) that I thought maybe should return. I thought Lyles would be an AA type player rocketing himself into top 5 pick status.

UK's 2013 recruiting class was wildly overrated.
UK's 2014 recruiting class was wildly underrated.
Not that the 2013 class lacked talent, but it wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Even Randle, who was a star, and probably still has that potential in the pros, is struggling to find his role in the NBA.
Every guy in the 2014 class, OTOH, was (at UK) and is (in the NBA, or Ulis at UK) as good or better than advertised. Towns is clearly headed to an NBA All-Star future, with MVP level not out of the question. Booker is the youngest player in the league, and he's clearly going to be around for a long time. All-Star isn't out of the question for him. Lyles probably won't ever be a star, but he shows all the signs of being a potential long-term starter.
