Trevor Booker = DeMarre Carroll?

As someone who watched Booker a lot in college, I can assure you he is a much different player than he was 4 years ago.

He shoots them when the moment calls for it.

He often hesitates, and he passes on more wide open threes than he takes. He only attempts 1 three a game, even though he is typically left open that far out.

Like I said, it's his first year taking them. He takes them when he feels comfortable. It's all about rhythm for Booker.
 
They're similar in the sense that neither had 3PT range before working with Quin. But yeah, different positions.

I really like the bigs we have: Gobert, Favors, Kanter and Booker all have different skill sets. Utah can go big with Gobert or use a smaller, faster combo with Favors and Booker. The Sacramento game was a perfect example of Snyder going with matchups. Cousins/Thompson is a big 4/5 lineup and Snyder sat Booker until garbage time. The others neutralized Thompson and Cousins still got his numbers, but really didn't take over the game.

I like Booker. And I think he re-signs with Utah, even though he isn't getting the minutes he might want. It's tough to go from starter to backup, but I think he'll do it. Call it my belief in the Snyder effect: I see players developing a loyalty to him.
 
Demarre is a lockdown defender, Booker has some energic defensive plays with no consistency on the defensive end.
