Give Booker some credit tonight

[usedtobe1]

Frank has gotten a lot of heat lately, but he had his best game of the year tonight. 14 points and 4 of 6 from behind the arc. Those back-to-back 3's in the 1st half helped dig us out of a hole. He only took 1 bad shot all night.

Kudos to Frank! I think he's out of the doghouse now.

By far his best game as a sooner. And it couldn't have come at a better time!

He took more than one bad shot, but they went in which is all that really matters!

At about four minutes left he made his best play. He had a somewhat open three passed it back to run clock and then had that shot fake for a three. That was great basketball and showed maturity by Booker. Look out next year because Booker is going to turn it on.

Huge game. If he can do half that game in game/out ou can make a deep run.

It was nice to see him assert himself tonight.

He played really well tonight.....and in a game when we needed him the most. I'm happy for the kid. I hope this kickstarts a good 2nd half of the conference for him.

 

[MercedeSooner]

We really need Frank to be the guy he was tonight, hopefully his health is getting better cause he sure as hell looked good today.

Kid played LIGHTS OUT! I hope this is what he needed now that he's over injury.

He's definitely out of my doghouse! He gave us the kind of spark off of the bench we have been hoping for since the season started. Fourteen points in only 16 minutes while going 4 of 6 from three is one heck of a performance. He played hard on defense, too.

If Frank's stroke from deep in tonight's game is any indication, he's back!

I was so happy to see him drain his first shot. That really helped his confidence.

It helped mine too that we could make a comeback!

He is SO much quicker than he was last year. I'm not a huge fan of trying to turn pure shooters into more rounded scorers, as I think at times you lose the effectiveness of what they are truly good at. But Booker appears to be making that transition. How many times did he get to the rim/paint last night? 3-4 that I remember. Gotta finish better, but he is more than capable. Love his shot. It's easily the technically sound shooting form on the team.

I wonder how much his back set him "back" this year. Can't be easy to shoot a lot of jumpers with lower back problems. I think he was sort of playing his way back into shape.

I agree the shot fake and side-step 3 was a thing of beauty. He also had some drives to the basket. He really reminds me of Kelly Newton, before his knee injury. I think he has a pretty high ceiling at this level.

He puts up some bad shots but he is a shooter and they rarely turn down open looks.

Good to see him starting to contribute. Has slowly been rounding into form.

He had one that he threw up as a heat check last night. It was a bad shot but I was ok with it because he was hot.

No, no ,no. When booker sets his feet and shoots in rhythm he is a great shooter. When he forces thing he is below average. Play smart basketball or sit on the bench. Frank playe smart basketball last night. Especially on the play I reference earlier. He followed a good decision with a great play where his feet were set and he shot in rhythm. It was beautiful.
