In Reply to: Your thoughts on Booker, Brown specifically? posted by klkl on October 28, 2025 at 20:46:01
He could be a starter or a really good 6th man, IMO. Booker is a work in progress and needs to get tougher/more aggressive in the paint if he is to be effective in conference play. Thus far, but it's still very early, he seems a little soft for a player his size. Hopefully as time passes, he will grow into that new post position and become the dominant player he was projected to be when he came out of HS as a 5 star All Star. Hopefully that improvement happens this year.
The Bruins are going to face some big, physical, and tough interior players in the Big 10 and they better be able to match them or come close to matching them physically if they are to finish conference play in that top 3 as forecast by many. Like EJ, I see Bruins primary weakness as being at the 5 position at this point in time. No doubt our 2 primary bigs will improve, but how long will it take and will it be enough of an improvement to make a difference.
