chirping I hear along with Jamerson. I'm not too high on Booker at the moment as he seems to have a shooter's mentality rather than that of an interior tough guy. Izzo couldn't get him to play defense but maybe Cronin can like he did with Adem? If he comes, I'm hoping he had his 'come to Jesus' moment and is dedicating himself to be the top ranked PF/C he was projected to be out of HS and gets with an 'in your face trainer' 10x tougher than Cronin during the summer to come out like a beast next season. BTW, Booker follows Trent and Skyy on IG although they were probably friends from HS days.

Cronin is probably now focused in on centering the offense around Dent as he's on a Lamelo/Lonzo level with his PG skills and has good 3pt shooters in Bilo, EDay, Skyy and Jamar now. And this guy knows his stuff as this clip alone shows some of Dent's talent.

Always composed in the halfcourt, Donovan Dent runs the offense like a multiyear vet, rarely overdribbling and quickly snapping passes to open teammates. Can't ever miss a rotation against him, or he'll make you pay, even if the first look (in this case the post) doesn't work pic.twitter.com/kuSZNymutz
