Booker's role

[jaymOU]

I really see some improvement in Booker's game, but the results just aren't coming on the court. His 3-point percentage is hovering under 25% and he has 7 TOs to only 4 assists for the year.

Looks like he has worked hard to become a more well-rounded offensive player - as he has taken the ball to the basket a lot.

I applaud the desire for him to become more a more complete player, but I hope he can start shooting the ball like he did last year.

I wonder if he has lost his basketball identity a little?

I'd love to see him become Kelly Newton or Tim Heskett 2.0 - those guys were mostly gunners, especially Tim.

His "no conscious", let-it-fly three-pointer mentality needs to return

He had one good game in the tournament where he came in and hit a couple of 3's. He recently had a bad game ..... I forget which one. He will be OK.

I wonder if the road rash he got from falling on the scooter set him back a little?

He was awful against Missouri which was the last game!

Frank started this season about 25 pounds lighter than what he weighed last season. It looks (to me) like he's putting a little of that weight back on. I wonder if the big drop in weight had anything to do with his slow start from behind the arc?

Sophomore slump....

His shot is too pretty to keep shooting it this poorly.

He'll come around.

I'm pretty sure he came in after Mankins last game.. is he dinged up some or what?

My guess is Mankin is practicing extremely hard, is close in athletic ability and Kruger is rewarding his effort.
