I agree that he has shown a real jump in effort over the last 1/3 or so of the season. Unfortunately, you have pointed out (in multiple posts) some of his shortcomings…i.e. his lack of verticle ability and he often seems lost on D. I would add that his hands seem weak (or maybe small). He does not grab rebounds above his head well and often has them stripped or batted away. He will be a senior if he returns so he may make another big jump but IMHO we pretty much saw what we are going to get by the end of season. I, too, would like a starting C with Book spending time at the 4 and back up 5….but time will tell.
