SGA had a decent game tonight

SGA is far and away the best of a long line of UK guys in the league. Probably my favorite player in the league regardless of team affiliation
He's so fluid to be as big of a guard as he is plus his shooting and scoring ability A alien for sure. I would draft SGA top 3 and maybe even #1 overall of not just PG but overall if the whole NBA had a crazy fantasy draft kid is young and dominant, also having major team success.

Speaking of being young and doing well I heard on KSR yesterday that Booker took over the all time points leader for the Suns this week and is only 28 years old. I know he scores a lot of points but Phoenix has had some good players over the years like Kevin Johnson, Shawn Marion, Walter Davis, Steve Nash, Charles Barkley, Tom Chambers, Kevin Durant and Amari Stoudemire. A lot of those guys have more points overall but played several places where Booker has always been a Sun but I still found it shocking that he already has become the leading scorer.

Book has went on a few unbelievable heaters too. 70+ a few times like sheesh.
 
It's hard to believe that SGA was an after thought recruit when he came to UK. Low expectations. Looked out of place.

I remember watching him here and being like “How is it that no one can stop this guy?” He just got layup after layup. Then Kansas State brought a double team to cut off each drive and we couldn’t make an adjustment.
 
SGA was a sneaky good defender as well because he had such good instincts and length. Even if the offensive player got around him, he was a threat to poke the ball away or swat it from behind.
 
I've watched a few Thunder games and he has an excellent chance at being MVP. One summer I watched a rerun of the championship of the sec tournament where he took over the game dominated the vols. He did whatever he wanted in the game, and he's now doing it in the NBA. Amazing player.
