Can someone tell me why Devin Booker's ceiling is higher than PJ's?

Because Booker isn't a knucklehead who punches high schoolers in pickup games a week after getting drafted...

c'mon bruh.  PJ went the whole season and we heard nothing bad about him, I'm not worried about that.  Forreal.  PJ hasn't been quite as consistent of a shooter as Booker shows he can be.  But PJ can put it on the deck and get to the rim and make plays that way.  We have no idea if Booker can do that or not.  PJ isn't a shabby defender either.  PJ more athletic too.

Nothing bad about him during the season? Missed practices, didn't even fit the dress code for a road trip, and that bizarre Josh Gordon incident. Not major stuff, but things that clearly show a lack of focus and professionalism he needs to have if he wants to reach that potential.

PJ fell to us in the 20s for a reason. I think he's another JR Smith. The tools are there, he just needs the right situation and the right environment to thrive, and I'm not sure that's in Charlotte, given the proximity to the places where he got in trouble.

Much like JR's move from NY to Cleveland, PJ could benefit much more from a team with an established pecking order from which he can learn and focus. Charlotte is too young and not successful enough to have that yet.

I think we would all be thrilled if PJ is as good as JR Smith

 

I'm not a PJ fanboy by any means, I just don't like the idea of spending two first round picks on guys that their main strength is shooting.  Too early to give up on PJ

 

Then again we were BAD at three pointers last year holy poo really bad actually when I think about it Booker still makes sense cause he and PJ can both play 3 too.  If only we could move Hendo/Lance preferably Lance

The truth is that we will never know what either has to offer as long as Clifford keeps up his BS youth on the bench crap style of coaching. PJ and Vonleh should have had FAR more opportunities than they did this year and more than proved themselves when given opportunities. Guys can't gain consistency though if you are so inconsistent with giving them their opportunities.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Okay, so answer this one then, since you said you can't answer something you don't think will happen...... You have said numerous times in the past that even though you want them, you don't think Deion will allow us to take his son or Hunter. You then taking Ward #1 over T-Mac just because he's the QB?

      Thanks for that sounds very interesting.   I have a scientific mind usually and don’t believe in wide spread conspiracy theories but with the NBA it’s so obvious.  The fuggin rigged draft is something only an idiot wouldn’t see.  But the NBA is 100% about big market money.  It’s not even a real league.  It’s 10 teams that have a shot.

      This response is absolutely and utterly insane, I've literally this same thing out multiple times in previous posts about mock drafts, like a bunch of times. I've never once denied it's a possibility of them going #1, I've just said that I wouldn't take them there. And YET AGAIN, you're proving that you don't believe they are elite QB prospects, you literally just said "first prospects off the board REGARDLESS OF TALENT" It's literally what I've been saying this whole time, these QB's don't have the draft grades to deserve that pick.  They're only being mocked there because mocks are trying to predict the draft, not saying who deserves to be drafted where.   Dude, this is exactly why I question your reading comprehension skills.  You keep trying to say you got me with something, but in those exact posts you're just proving my points, the literal opposite of catching me in some lie or moment of ignorance.
