Volume scorer off bench as a starter he will take away from booker,warren and Len.


Hope so and they better play him as sixth man next year or 7th or whatever..if he starts I won't be too happy.

Look at that tape. For instance, at the 1:02 mark. Booker ends up with a wide open dunk. But as you watch the play develop, its his heady play fighting for position that shuts off his defender and leaves a wide open path to the hoop,

Kobe told him to start posting up more, so watch what happens during the very next play. Absolutely takes advantage of the mismatch in the post.

He is such as smart player. I cannot believe this kid is 19.

I got a question for y'all. WHO THE **** IS BURR? we got a bunch of banners around the arena like "Len's Lair" and "Bled Crew" and stuff like that. one says 'BURR SQUAD' (or maybe 'BURA SQUAD'?)

Maybe that's Markieff Morris and Brandon Knight's joint twitter account.

What compensates for his youth is the fact that his father played in the NBA—that factor makes a big difference.

I really liked the previous play in that video, where Booker curled in as he caught the ball off the down-screen, faked, took one dribble, and sank the mid-range jumper. In a previous generation, that play would have been fairly commonplace, but you do not see it much these days. Booker resembled Jeff Hornacek circa 1992 on that shot.

From 2:11-2:22, also see how Booker is able to get on-balance with his shooting form, which is something that I was talking about in an earlier thread.

That's what would also be good if we end up with Sabonis.

Basketball intelligence and skill are two factors that seem to be underrated today in favor of athleticism, length and youth.

... case in point: Stephen Curry being drafted after Hasheem Thabeet and Jonny Flynn.
