Booker is being hidden a bit in UKs deep line-ups, but I also think he's getting open looks by being the 3rd option when he's on the floor. If he's a wing in the NBA and he's being guarded by guys like Ariza, Leonard, Butler, etc., I think he'll be forced to try to make difficult, contested looks. He can make some of those shots, but they're not high percentage. Also, both Klay and Steph Curry are guys who can shoot off the bounce and on the move even when their feet aren't set. Can Booker really do that? D'Angelo Russell can, and I think Hezonja and Oubre can too.
Um, I think you'll find that with Hayward (all around game) and Exum (speed and court vision) that a shooter will find plenty of open looks.
Most teams don't have multiple shut down defenders so I'm confident that Quin's offense will find the open man.
