Gambo said he's grown to 6'7 and could play some SF.

Wingspan usually increases more than height does as the shoulders broaden and the body matures.

Booker actually has a larger wingspan than Jimmy Butler. Booker has a 6'8.5 Wingspan which isnt bad.

I couldn't tell just by looking at it. Will watch the Bulls/Suns highlights again.

So, I have seen reports that Book has grown to 6-7.5 and has added lots of strength. If he ends up at 6-8 225 he could be a 4 position player.

Paul George is 6'10 with a near 7 foot wingspan and he can barely play the small ball 4 in spurts. Your positional versatility is dictated by who you can guard. Until Booker learns to handle 2s, he shouldn't think about matching up forwards

Is it possible that he could handle threes better than he can twos?

I once saw a movie where this girl handled more than 100 guys at once.

Booker's top FiveThirtyEight’s CARMELO comps are: JR Smith, Beal, Kobe and Durant.

Hmm I dunno Booker has plus measurables for an SG now, but he won't have that size advantage against 3s. You could make a case that he would fare better vs 3s because he projects to have the lateral agility to stay in front of his man, contain penetration and seal off drives on the ball with his wide base. You could see him making hard fouls to prevent AND1s and he was willing to get rough. However his steal percentage was abysmal, he doesn't get many deflections, blocks and is a slightly below average rebounder even for a SG. His opponents shot 6.6 percent better within 10 feet and from 3-point range,they shot 6.2 percent better, He was obliterated by more perimeter oriented off guards like Middleton, was often an entire second late on rotations and would get brushed aside running square into screens. , This should be easier to improve on, just a matter of improving his off ball awareness

No, he can only play SG.

When will Booker hit 8,000 career points?
