Kelley Newton, Tim Heskett, Eric Martin type. He rarely even takes shots that are not 3's.

Always valuable to have a pure 3pt shooter to either start or come off the bench. He seems like one of those guys won't average more than 10 ppg, but will always come in and be a threat to hit 3's.

Kelley Newton averaged 9.8 points as a senior, and the most Heskett ever averaged was 9.5. Eric Martin averaged 12 as a senior.
 
Agree for the most part, but I think Frank can be "more" than those guys.

He is already driving more, and I've seen him get some rebounds and put backs. There was a play today where he drove the paint from the wing, and kicked to the off-side guard. That is no the type of play you would have seen from guys like Heskett or Neal. Booker has the size and athleticism to be more than just a 3 point shooter, though I suspect that will always be a huge part of his game.

My gut tells me you're right, but I refuse to make any predictions. ;)

I will say this. Frank has a sweet stroke! When he sets his feet and shoots in rhythm, every shot he takes looks like it's going in.
 
I think those are reasonable expectations. Players like that also make things a lot easier for other guards. It prevents defenses from sending double teams/help from the perimeter.
