Booker no PT

Probably because Booker looks like he doesn't give a **** to be there.

I'll believe "matchups" for one game, but we're now at 3 straight games that he hasn't even checked in for. There is much more going on that we're not aware of.

I feel bad for him. one doesn't transfer to sit on the bench and it's obvious coach is trying to develop the under class men. If coach works with him to finish out strong we could get some valuable minutes in time for the Dance

I think it's unfortunate that Booker isn't seeing the court at least a little each game. He has the potential to go off now and then. As others have pointed out, he can hit the three and that can really mess with the other team.

Maybe if Booker didn't mope out onto the floor a full three minutes after the team at the start of the game, we'd get some consideration.

Yeah, I wonder what's happening. Percy has gotten some minutes and I'd typically take Booker over him...maybe it's a practice thing, maybe match up? Who knows

There may come a time when we need to foul someone inside.

**CRcyclone6** · 02-02-2013, 10:33 PM

There was one point tonight on TV, it looked like he had his hands folded behind his head and his legs crossed. Maybe he was thinking about getting in the CF pickup game, I'm not sure.

Noticed that he came out of the locker room much later than everyone else. Seems like he must be making some standoff with Hoiberg. He is missing out on the ride of his life. Isn't this sort of season what he transferred here for? We could use him, but not if he has an attitude. Of course, we don't really know. There may be some other reason. Perhaps CW, our favorite journalist could do some research for us.

I've heard from someone who would know that Booker has an awful attitude and doesn't care, which likely isn't surprising to anyone. You can see it all over his face during every game.

**cmjh10** · 02-02-2013, 10:45 PM

I think his confidence was at an all time low, Hoiberg might just be trying to get his confidence up before he plays him. Same thing happened to me in high school.

**Snyder21** · 02-02-2013, 11:28 PM

Book just hasn't improved much since he was a freshman at Southern Illinois. He had a ton of potential (top 50 recruit out of high school) and still does but he just doesn't seem to have the drive a player needs to get better

Bubu being back changed the rotation. Only so many mins to go around. With him and Gibson being equal, CFH is going the route of playing the young guy for the future. Booker is a good player when he wants to be, that just doesnt seem to happen very often.
