his role in the team's offensive structure isn't conducive to his skillset. Only touches the ball as a spot up shooter

Very rarely, if ever. I don't think it's in our play book. I see it a lot with Utah and Boston. And I think the Raps.

there we go. Bender DHO, immediately get a backdoor cut from Booker for a dunk attempt

that should be a staple of this team's offensive attack

If Booker could really play PG, that would solve a lot of our lineup problems. And there he goes down.

Lakers announcers trying to say its not a foul at all. "But his arm was at his waist when the contact with Booker occurred!!" Yeah, and? Just admitted there was CONTACT! lol
