That's encouraging, in a way.

He's obviously got the length and athleticism to guard if he puts the effort and focus in.

On some level I don't really worry about him being a lazy malcontent, because Goode, Rodgers and Harris will just swallow up all his playing time with ease.
I was thinking something similar and agree 100%. Those guys provide a level of accountability. I'd maybe even throw Amani in that group if he stays healthy, and probably Morez if he can live up to the EDG hype.

Carey Booth - #64 (as of 4/5/24)​

Former Team
Notre Dame
Years Remaining -3
Position - Center
Ht: 6-10 Wt: 203

"Booth, a four-star recruit coming out of high school and the son of 10-year NBA veteran and current Denver Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth, averaged 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season while making 19 starts.

The younger Booth preferred to hang around the perimeter at Notre Dame, taking more 3s (118) than 2s (74). The problem was he wasn’t very efficient, making only 29.7 percent of his triples. Run him off the line, and he was even worse, struggling to make pull-up jumpers. I don’t love his shot mechanics; he brings the ball close to his face as he starts his shooting motion and has a low release, which negates the perks of being a big man who can shoot.

But there is reason to be optimistic about the player he could become. While he played as a stretch four for the Fighting Irish, his best college position is probably as a center in a five-out offense, especially if he’s ever able to consistently make his jumper. He’ll need to get stronger to play that spot, but he has a good frame for a young player and was a solid team defender who was usually in the right spot.

He’s still 18 and doesn’t turn 19 until July."
