I sent him a tweet that he should probably take some time off to prevent it from becoming more serious. I did it strictly out of concern for his health, not to try to help the tank. :wink:

Tankfully, it's not too serious - 2 months of rest should help.

Jan Vesely - get ready to play 30 minutes a game.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/wi ... ory_1.html

Kevin Seraphin, Trevor Booker, Brian Cook, James Singleton and Cartier Martin all gathered around the table as waiters walked by with knives and skewers, serving up meat until they flashed a red card to stop.


The late-season success has helped the team form better chemistry, as the locker room has been filled with jokes and laughter of late, rather than a rush to leave. A few Wizards, including Wall, Crawford, Booker and Jan Vesely, even attended the Capitals playoff game on Sunday. Nene expects more team-building activities will come next season.

“That is what good teams do, like San Antonio,” Nene said. “Everybody’s together, they have a good atmosphere. Good teams, they stick together.”

---

Booker is the name that shows up in both activities. So far, he seems to be the glue between the younger players and the older players.

Bring back Mr Booker. Trade trade addicts. Stop trying to trade Booker off the team. The guys cost them $1,385,280 next year. There is no reason to trade him. It's ok if they have depth for once. They just need to start giving James some minutes and SF. Booker even played some SF in the past.

Also, in this Wizards min with Trevor, he says he is trying to come back tonight.

Wall/Mack
Crawford, Martin, Almond
C SIngleton, J Singleton, Mo
Ves, Booker
KS, Nene

I think we will see some Almond tonight. Hopefully they get up early and rest Crawford.
They could roll out like this tonight. I guess they are still starting C Singleton so he keeps getting chances to play.

I'm with you on Booker. He may not be the guy we want starting at PF or SF and, yes, he'd probably bring the most value in a trade if the Zards draft MKG, but I think Booker is only going to get better and will be a solid PF/SF off the bench...even a starter on a team with good perimeter shooters at the PG,SG,SF positions. I'd be very relucant to trade Booker unless it was for an offer that the Zards simply couldn't refuse.

I'm not surprised to see an improved off-the-court chemistry among the Zard players. You see it on the court as well. I credit the on-court chemistry, maturity and seriousnes to the arrival of Nene, Martin and J. Singleton, the emergence of Seraphin, and the increased minutes for Mo Evans.

I enjoy Booker a great deal, but I am concerned that in two seasons he's never played a game in April due to late-season injuries. For a guy whose game is predicated on hustle and explosiveness, this might not be the greatest sign.

exactly - I said about the same thing a week or 2 ago.

it clearly should be a cause for concern. He was also injured
at the beginning of this season. He may have some Tough Juice to
his 'game'.

He has some Monte Coleman to him. To much muscle. Thing are strung to tight. He needs to do plenty of stretching.

T Book getting back on the court.

Good to hear from him. I know a lot of you have traded him off but I don't want to see that. I am a huge T Book fan and I want to see more of him here.

I've only "traded him off" if we end up drafting Robinson.

I don't know about that.

I thought the same thing by the end of last year but I wasn't anticipating Booker's dramatic improvement in shooting. His shooting percentage from 16-23 feet has improved from 18% last year to 34% this year (on triple the number of attempts per game). 34% is still somewhat mediocre, but if he continues to improve to the point where he's a deadly knock-down shooter from that range and gets to, say, 43%, then he will be a respectable starting caliber player.

I don't think it's possible for him to become an above average starter, but he can be a serviceable starter, better than merely a spark off the bench. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he can be roughly as good as Udonis Haslem or Paul Millsap.

what he said^

prognosis?

expected return?

edit - so I went back a few days on Wiz Insider and rfreshed my mem on
what his injury even was

hamstring

My thought - it's almost a 2 edge sword when a guy is a gym/work-out rat
and plays as hard as Book does. Hard to know when enough is enough.

edit 2 - Book's injuries seem to be more of the overuse variety. His physique
is high strung. That's part of what makes him a stud athlete in the realm of
professional athletes. But it's hard for people with that mindset, extremely hard worker,
to moderate enough to not be susceptible to nagging and sometimes chronic injuries.
