61.5% of Booth's shots were from 3. That is insane for a 6'10" player. Comparing to the Illini players last year:
Hawkins - 50.1%
Guerrier - 43.1%
Shannon - 46.2%
Domask - 28.9%
Goode - 87.7%
Only Goode took a greater percentage of 3s than Booth did. Because Booth just lived on the perimeter, he only took 41 FTs. So it's not much of an oversimplification. And if you are going to live on the perimeter, you better shoot a heck of a lot better than 29.7%. The guy looks to be an elite athlete, which makes me say even more, what the hell are you doing on the perimeter?
The hope would be, compare Soph Hawkins (he didn't play much as a Fr) to Fr. Booth:
Hawkins - 19 mpg, 5.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 1.5 apg, 44.2% FG, 29.2% 3pt, 65.0% FT
Booth - 19.9 mpg, 6.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.5 apg, 39.1% FG, 29.7% 3pt, 63.4% FT
Full disclosure, I am not and never was a Coleman fan. He made a remarkable jump this past year. So if the staff can do the same thing with Booth they did to Coleman last year, ok. But that was an extraordinary improvement.
