Is there a future for these two as the Suns backcourt? I mean we know that Booker is a scorer and looks to be very good one at that so I’m not really questioning his ability at the 2-spot, more is Goodwin capable of playing PG along with him?

Goodwin to me is a combo guard which pairing with a SG in the backcourt can be hit or miss. I mean we have Lillard/McCollum who are both score first with an ability to pass and it seems to work all right, Bledsoe/Knight seemed to be getting it.

I hope it can work for them, I look at the Curry/Thompson combo, not saying either Suns playing is as good but Booker is very capable off ball allowing Goddwim to control the tempo like Curry does with Thompson off screens etc.

Booker is a solid off the ball scorer and deadly three point shooter. He also can create a bit for himself. I want to see him improve on defense as metrics have him as the third worst defender in the league. He’s the youngest guy in the nba so he has all the time in the world and is already a good player for his age.

 Only difference is Booker isn’t much of a ball handler at this point so I don’t know if it’s the best idea to have Archie who’s suspect at running the point next to a non-ball handler. I think Archie is better served as coming off the bench as a 6th man energy guard. Though the Suns have Bledsoe and Knight under contract for a while I would like to see them get Dunn if they can’t get a Simmons or Ingram.  Trade Bledsoe and bring Dunn off the bench for a couple of years and develop him.  I think Dunn and Booker would be a good starting back court of the future with Archie off the bench and you could even run a versitile 3 guard set with them.

 Is Goodwin capable of being a high-level backup type guy? Seems like the ideal energy type guy off a bench that can fill it up in a hurry. 

Don’t watch much Suns basketball, so I don’t know if he’s any good defensively and at running an offense. Seems like he’s got the capability to put points up…does he do a lot of things well?

I would venture the Suns would trade Bledsoe and Knight for a few picks/players to put around Booker and Len, Goodwin looks like a player being highlighted to boost his trade value, he looks very solid at times but still too raw to really impact a winning team consistently, so he’s either being shopped or he’ll be a 6th man for the Sun’s going forward…

The Suns will need a PG ironically to groom next to Booker, CJ McCollum would be ideal if the Blazers took a package around Knight and Morris, the Blazers would likely want a little more back because of CJ’s success this season

To think that Bledsoe and Knight who are there starting backcourt along with Booker and Goodwin who are their backups, ALL went to Kentucky is mind boggling. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that on one team.That’s recruiting on a whole other level.

 Both Goodwin and Booker have great potential, but I do not see them paired together. Goodwin ability as a passer and ball handler is the icing on the cake as a combo guard. Eventually the Suns with choose one to be their starting sg, probably more likely Booker because the emphasis on shooting nowadays. As for picking Dunn, why? You already have two very good pgs and either one will be great alongside either sg. Their lottery pick should be used to address the frontcourt as questions are there regarding Len (too early to consider a bust) and Morris. They have options moving forward on building this team.

 Goodwin *could* have a future as a reserve 2guard, coming in and getting to the linea lot but with suspect Outside shooting a la Alec Burks, with better defense. But despite his good game vs Toronto, he is NOT a good PG at all, and would need a drastic improvement in areas that really aren’t realistic to become one.

Booker is just a stud and the sky is the limit.

I have watched a lot of Suns games and as much as I love Archie and all the hard work he done to improve his game, I don’t see him as a piece on a championship team. Doesn’t have the pg skills to run a team, weak defender, not a shooter. Unfortunately he will probably be the guy who puts up big numbers on losing teams. It would be smart to trade him right now while teams are seeing him put up numbers.  Booker is a star in the making and should be the starting 2 moving forward. As a Suns fan I am all for trading Knight and/or Bledsoe for some future assets. 

[KHAM83Participant]

 Now that they have a legit future sg, I think trading one of their pgs is obvious. Both are on great contracts as well considering the cap rise. Am I right to assume Bledsoe is the much better pg? I think he and Booker is a good mesh. Maybe they can combine Knight with Chandler to get rid of his contract.

No there’s no future for that backcourt…

Archie is an nba 3rd string SG, (i think he could be a good one, still 21yo) an anonymous back up in a losing team, or a 2nd combo guard in a 5 guards rotation.

Booker is a starting SG for the next 15 years, top 10 all time three point shooter, he’ll develop his all around game in time, no doubt about it..

There’s absolutely no facilitators, no versatility in that team, + by far the worst starting frontcourt in the league.

Ideally the suns should build around a bledsoe-booker backcourt, Warren and Knight as big time benchers instant offense(25+ pts)…still a huge hole at the 3 and 4 spots, size, IQ, D, playmaking, shooting.

I don’t know for who, but trading bledsoe for a quality PF and drafting dunn could be an option.

Or keep the young core, draft Rabb, a PG with the late 1st rounder and a SF with the early 2nd rounder, bring in bogdanovic.

Bledsoe-Knight lead guard-rookie PG-archie combo guard

Booker-Knight 6th men-Bogdanovic/archie 3rd stringers.

X-warren-rookie(give me prince/hayes/williams)

Rabb- X- Leuer or X-Rabb-Leuer.

Len/chandler, Len produces when he plays more than 25 mins in a game, 12+ pts 8+ rebs 1,5+ block on average, he’ll be even better with a PG, a true PG in the starting 5 or at least a true back up PG off the bench….

 Honestly I love the combo booker is a good shooter on his way to elite definite floor spreader which goes hand and hand with goodwin a slashing combo guard that can pass the ball not too many of those around plus he’s got great height for the pg spot gd wrk earl watson never thought i would say those words lol smh

 Goodwin is not a starting PG his ceiling is Lou Williams.

Booker however is a ridiculous talent who was overlooked but can become a  become a top 5 SG.  He might even have a higher upside then a guy like Brad Beal
