He's a one man show, and it's a good show, but it's not the kind of thing that wins basketball games.
Meanwhile, Brogdon is not a show. He's not flashy. Nothing he does is spectacular. But he plays hard, plays smart, moves well off-ball, is extremely efficient, plays defense, makes the right moves and plays in a way that wins basketball games. If I needed a superstar, I'd take Booker, but we don't need a superstar. We have that in Zion, and we have a second tier star in Jrue. We need an actual TEAM that can play around them, and Brogdon provides that. I'm sick of having a team with two good players on it and then just nothing. Depth and team support is important, and we need to finally get some.
