He's doing very well as PG and he passes the eye test. He's not the best PG but he's in the top 10.

The problem isn't that he can't play PG
The problem is that he's better and we're better with Book as a SG as he was over the last few years next to CP3. But we don't have anyone that can relieve him of PG duty
I’m not impressed by numbers. I watch the games. He misses wide open guys because he’s not a good point guard.
One play for example against the Knicks. At the end of the first half he missed a wide open Little and passed it to Nurkic.
Thanks to Nurkic being a better pg than Booker he passed it to the extremely wide open Little who hit the 3 to end the half.
Not to mention Beal just standing around watching Booker that 1st game. He took only 9 shots thanks to his point guard.
Then watch KD just standing around watching Booker play alone. It’s just bad basketball.
There’s no ball movement. No 2 man gameplay with him and KD like Jokic and Murray. It’s just Booker dominating the ball and passing if he feels like it.
Booker just doesn’t have what it takes.
Do you think it’s time to trade Booker to Chicago for LaVine and Caruso? That way we have a Booker 2.0 and a pg who can find open guys while playing good defense.
Lavine is trash. I would try to get Morant, Haliburton or Fox for Booker but those are long shots.
If not it’s time to sign a real pg who isn’t looking for stats. I would take Rondo or Wall or George Hill over this Booker experiment
Or have Nurkic play the point center like Jokic. I rather that than watch another second of point Book. It’s God awful
