when talking about Booker, chooses his words carefully. He's positive but non-committal and seems to allude to development and learning curves. I could be absolutely wrong here, but reading between the lines it seems that perhaps we won't be seeing too much of Booker in this his first season at UCLA - or at least not to the extent that we had hoped for.
If you pay attention, when Cronin speaks about Jamerson the words he chooses and his whole attitude are almost the opposite of how he speaks about Booker.
Maybe Cronin is holding his cards close to the vest, or using some kind of Phil Jackson motivational ploy, but it sounds to me that Jamerson right now is well ahead of Booker in terms of who's going to play and be relied upon more.
Like I said, I could be wrong here and it's still early but that's my reading of the tea leaves right now.
