#11 on the Big Board
Grade: Top 10-20 Pick
Strengths: Booker has an elite NBA skill as an 18 year old: Knockdown Shooter from distance. Whether it’s catch and shoot in spot up situations, running off of screens or attacking closeouts with a ball fake, 1 or 2 dribbles then a 15 foot jumper. He is arguably the best shooter in this year’s draft, has NBA size and tons of upside being only 18 years old. He really moves well with the ball, knows how to get open. This kid will play 12-15 years barring injury because of his shooting ability.
Weaknesses: Booker at this point isn’t a guy who can create offense in 1 on 1 situations. He doesn’t do much off of the dribble and doesn’t at a high rate at the rim when contested. He’s an average defender who could get better as he matures, gets older and stronger.
