Booker isn't a star or a big scorer, but he has a skill set Brooklyn was lacking.
To say the least, this past offseason was one of change for the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Kenny Atkinson was hired away from the Atlanta Hawks, most of the front office was revamped behind Sean Marks and the roster was almost completely turned over ... 10 new players.
When they traded Thaddeus Young to the Pacers on Draft Day -- in a slightly confusing move that freed up $12.6 million in cap space and brought rookie Caris LeVert to Brooklyn -- the Nets gave up their starting power forward for an unproven college swingman who struggled to stay on the court in his time at Michigan.
