I wanted him at 35, I don't dislike him on our roster, but I think we lose value in this draft by taking him because essentially we traded the 30th pic for the 56th in my mind. W/e, its over.

He'll be a solid contributor, but I question moving up in the draft for him. Also our frontline is quite small overall, since I don't think we'll be picking up a center in this draft. And unless we're picking up a big in FA...odd draft.

As much as I love 6'6 Power Forwards, I dont think we shouldve given up half our draft for him.

I saw Booker a ton in College. Dude was a Warrior for Clemson. He had the 2nd most bench reps in the combine (22 to 23) from Harongody. Improved his range every year. Plays hard all the time. Is left-handed.

Would I have traded up for him? Nope. That doesn't mean he can't be a contributor.

Can someone start a 'Hire Kevin Pritchard as GM' thread?

Look, the NBA DRAFT from 15-30 is looking for role players. I think Booker can be a role player.

Again...I like Booker (much like Seraphin was interesting), but at 22?

Looks like a tweener. Too unskilled for SF, too small for PF. And given that he is already 22, it's hard to believe he'll ever develop the skill to be a SF. I figure his maximum upside is James Singleton. Yay.

Nate, I think this draft is GMEG's Waterloo. He needs to resign after this travishamockery of a draft.

I know nothing about Booker - can he play SF at all? I don't like his size for a PF.

He's not a tweener. He's an undersized power forward. He's like a Kenny Thomas clone.
