    Booker. Not worth a discussion here. It’s not close.

    Booker vs Tatum is a more interesting discussion than Booker vs Brown.

    Booker definitely.

    Mitchell is also better than JB

    As a completely biased Celtics fan I still go Booker.

    While I think JB is a much defender his scoring isn’t on the same level. And while some people will say JB won finals MVP and all that it’s all situation based

    I’m going back and forth on this one.

    Had book been playing next to KD how whole career he’d be looked at differently. He’s always been the first option. JB never has.

    In a vacuum I’d probably say booker but it’s closer than people think.

    About equal but for this offseason feels silly not to give it to the guy who just won ECF and Finals MVP.

    Even as a Celtics fan I don’t understand how this is a question. It’s clearly booker.

    Booker, Ant, and Mitchell all have argument as best SG. With Brown a close 4th.

    I am torn between Ant and Booker for #1 and #2.

    I have Mitchell at #3

    And Brown at #4

    Ant, Booker, and Mitchell skills are almost same level. And yes, Mitchell being significantly smaller than Booker/Ant kinda gave him minus points.

    Booker is a way better offensive creator than Brown and Brown isn’t better enough on defense to make up for that.

    Booker is better at offense in the areas that lend itself for better team involvement and team creation. Brown is better at finishing plays. I would say that Booker is also pretty good as just a play finisher off the ball and Brown is ok as someone who can create offense for the rest of his team. What Booker is good at offensively is more important and harder to develop imo.

    Brown is the better defender and it’s not even close, even though Booker has improved there and underrated.

    Overall, what Booker is better at is more important, so you 100% have to give it to Booker. However, I don’t think the gap is as big as many would probably believe due to how good Brown can be at stopping great players that can play 2-4.

      People underrate booker’s finishing because he doesnt have bounce that other guys have. But he hits ridiculous contested layups every game

    JB has been closing the gap but still gotta go with Book. His tear over the first two rounds of the 2023 playoffs was MJ esque.

    I’m with you on Book being the best SG in the league, his offensive game is too smooth, also he’s consistent as hell. Brown’s defense is amazing,but Booker’s offensive impact is top tier imo.

    Book is the much better scorer and also just demonstrated how versatile he can really be.

      realistically its booker and its not close.

      Brown is not in the same tier as booker, hes on the tier below that
