The offense looks so much more potent when Booker is looking for his shot. Too bad he usually only does that in the 4th Quarter. Everyone telling him he is like Harden has gotten in his head where he is trying to make too many passes. He should be looking to score 90% of the time.

We really need to work on guys getting open coming off screens. I don't think they have completely picked up the offense yet...you can seem them passing but they are not always constantly moving like Igor's offenses usually do. Booker needs open catch and shoots. He is a much worse scorer off of iso (as good as he often is at that in big moments and end of games...but during the game, not so good..the #s reflect the more dribbles he has, the worse his % gets, and far worse after about 3).

I'd rather see him miss a shot than have no shot at all because of a turnover.
Hopefully they continue to work on the offense and the turnovers go down. I just have more faith in his ability to put the ball in the hole than anyone else on this team (except maybe Ayton and even then he doesn't like to force the issue). It seems like the same old high screens I'm used to seeing. I'll continue to hold out hope but it's frustrating watching something that so often works not be utilized until near the end of games. I also think we need to play with much more pace. I don't understand why such a young team seems to be playing so slow. I'd prefer to push the pace like we used to. It leads to easier opportunities.

Yeah, I'd rather see him miss a shot than turn it over as well, but too much when he is dribbling or trying to get iso'd, he gets trapped and turns it over.

Link? I thought I read somewhere that Booker's iso is one of the best in the NBA.
