Booker is a way, way better prospect than Jaylen.
No he's not.   Jaylen has a much higher upside.
Lol. Not even close. You obviously haven't watched Booker play offense. He averages 21 a game, has a sweet stroke, a great handle, athletic, etc. and he's only 20. He's one of the best offensive prospects in the game.

You don't go into the centre of the comparison, I guess on purpose. If Jaylen would play 30+ minutes in a bad team with freedom to attack the rim, he may be averaging those 21 points per game. And he's only 20 as well.

How many minutes would Booker be playing for us?
He would be starting next to IT.

As Jaylen is doing.
So by your logic since Brown is starting he should be putting up similar numbers (or at least in the same stratosphere) as Booker. Why isn't he though? Even though he has a way better supporting cast? Hmm I wonder...

Sounds like fake news to me. What most sports rumors are.

By using your logic, it would seem Booker would be averaging 21ppg next to Isaiah Thomas.  Your logic is laughable.  This isn't about who can put up meaningless points for a tanking team or who is starting next to IT.  The difference between Booker and Brown is simple.  Booker is strictly offensively talented.  Brown is a versatile talent.  Although Booker is currently the better player and will likely be the superior offensive player for the foreseeable future, Brown has a much higher ceiling to becoming a more impactful two-way player.  Defensively, Brown already exceeds anything Booker could achieve, and as Brown gets older his offense will begin to catch up (but unlikely to catch up).  Issue for Booker is that the league values players like Jimmy Butler and Lebron more than it does Isaiah Thomas or Demar Derozan
