Finished watching a decent amount of Booth footage and my main takeaway is that he is a high ceiling explosive player who is going to need some decent development to unlock that potential. These are my thoughts:
Pros:
-Extremely explosive and athletic. Seems to thrive taking it off the dribble and driving to the hole.
-Very good defense for a freshman. Disciplined rim protector that plays bigger than he is, doesn't bite on fakes and goes straight up
-Finishing under contact as a freshman is a plus
-If shot develops could become an all conference player
Cons:
-Has a slow and inconsistent shooting motion that has a small hitch in it. Will need significant work to become a more consistent shooter.
-Falls in love with the three when he really doesn't need to and sometimes makes you shake your head when he settles for those and refuses to drive
-Midrange jumper is not pretty- no consistent form
Overall, I think he has a lot of promise and could become an NBA caliber player, but to get there, I think he's almost going to need to rebuild his shot as just watching his form, it makes sense why he has struggled with consistency and why his shooting percentage is as low as it is. And as he's inevitably going to be compared to Amani, I think he does have a higher ceiling, he's more explosive and a better defender at this stage of development, though a worse shooter and will settle more for inefficient shots. Will be intriguing to see how he progresses.
