Booker is always watching then reacting. By that time it's too late. There's an instinctual part to rebounding that Booker doesn't seem to have. In fact, there is an instinctual part to playing basketball. There's a certain amount of anticipation also. Booker seems to me to often be a split second too late. I assume he's still thinking too much as he tries to learn a new position and a new system. Perhaps things will change for him or perhaps not. Right now it appears that Cronin has either given up on Booker or is just leery to try and depend on him giving him more time to learn hence the reduction of minutes. Either way Booker right now is almost totally ineffectual out there and is certainly not giving Cronin what he needs from him. Not even close.
Watch this space.
