Trevor Booker- freak athlete, by the numbers...

[Julie Greengiant]

let's not abuse the word 'freak'. a good athlete, but not a freak athlete.

In his first 4 years @ Washington, Trevor Booker tried to make 3 a total number of 10 times. He made one of them. In two games in Utah so far, he has shot 5 and made 3. Based on these first two games, he`s a total steal for us with his hustle and his surprising range.

Booker's athleticism is underrated. He ran the 3/4 court sprint in 3.10 seconds, which is faster than John Wall's 3.14

He also posted a 36 inch vert and he's built like a tank.

there are about 4-5 freak athletes in NBA. booker isn't one of them.

Curious, who are they? Of course Hayward and LeBron, but who else?

I am really shocked at how good Booker is. I didn't watch him play much last year, but when I did he seemed really average. I'd like to see him get 30 minutes a night.

He is short for PF, but when he is able to jump cleanly he skys over guys. He is a functional athlete too... meaning he doesn't just test well, he uses his athleticism in the actual games.

He's still young... if the 3 falls lookout. I thought we may have overpaid for this guy, but it turns out DL is a better talent evaluator than me... who knew?

I also thought Gobert brought it last night. He locked up Howard, which I wasn't sure he had the strength to do.

Don't beat yourself up. I have exactly the same situation with you. I didn't watch him last year much but he was NOT playing like he is doing right now when I watched him before. He was only the hustle and energizer player who is doing plenty of dumb things on the court but now he clearly seems like he improved a lot of things in his game.

He still makes some silly mistakes on the court especially when he rushes the things but I'm much more positive about him now. Definitely a very good acquisition for the Jazz.

I really like Booker, he's all hustle. He isn't a freak athlete, but he's a great athlete and a real steal of a pick up. I was at the home opener and the crowd seemed to fall in love with Booker right from the get go.

Love this guy. I think it sort of helps with the pain of losing DMC. ****, even typing that stings.

I think he's proved me right in the last few games.

no he didn't.

he is a good athlete. if a freak athlete is A+, booker is B+. he is a notch below.


this is A+ athlete who i consider freak. 6ft 8 265lb guy doing this.

but obviously something happened to bron. looks like bron doesn't have a lift after the crazy diet he went through this summer.
