His energy, defense, rebounding, shot blocking, and quick hands were a huge boost tonight. His development will be key for the next couple of years but I don't know how anyone cannot like what we have seen from him, even if it has just been spurts.

Has been just what the doctor order for our bench!

I couldn't agree more! If he works hard in the off season and adds 15 to 20 pounds of muscle to his frame, he will be a defender/shot blocker deluxe next season. I love his hustle, and his quick hands and feet. If he develops a couple of post moves and a jump hook down low, he could be an adequate replacement for Thomas.
 
A good off-season and 20 lbs will do wonders for his game. He oozes with potential but he needs a lot of work to get refined. It's really up to him.

He's bigger than McKay
 
Like his potential. It's not his fault but our bench is pitiful. It might be the reason were checking equipment next week this time. Booker has to contribute offensively.
 
I really like his upside. Reminds me a lot of former Sooner Jabari Brown. Once he beefs up, look out.
 
I have no doubt that Lattin will be a key player next season and a very good player before he leaves Norman.
 
I said it earlier but we haven't had an inside guy with his length and athleticism in a while. By the time he's done here as long as he keeps working he really can be something especially on the defensive end.
 
I wish he would work on his inside game from an offensive perspective rather than take jumpers beyond his comfort zone. Maybe next year.
 
Really like the potential and energy but I believe he needs to be a stretch 4 on offense. That doesn't mean stay outside, it means get a 3 pt shot and some slasher moves.
 
I agree lattin looked good. If he gains some weight he will be huge in the coming years

Why would you want to try to teach him "that" game, when he doesn't even have an inside game to speak of yet?

He needs to learn Thomas' jump hook, and he needs to work on shooting the 15 footer from the elbow.
 
I bet Lattin would have dunked the **** out of that ball at the end of the game..
 
He's working out with John Lucas... Along with Tiny Gallon!

Tiny had the talent to make it in the league. Maybe a few years toiling overseas have gotten him the maturity to go along with the taelnt.
 
He's been in the D league mostly. Turned down overseas offers. Wants to stay close to NBA.
