Zach Lowe: Booker ideal role model for young Nets

In a compilation of things he likes and doesn’t like, ESPN’s Zach Lowe offers some praise for Trevor Booker, the Nets power forward, noting that in addition to his production, Booker is the ideal role model for the young Nets...

Booker is a bright spot in every dreary Nets loss - a sneering ruckus rampaging coast-to-coast after snagging a defensive rebound. He is fast, and he is mean, and he is not afraid to pick up his dribble, smash his shoulder into your chest, and float the ball in as you crumble to the floor.

Booker is overmatched as a starting power forward, but he's exactly type of veteran Brooklyn wants around its kiddies: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Joe Harris, Chris McCullough (I think he still exists), Isaiah Whitehead and Caris LeVert -- the latter finally cracking the rotation as a multi-positional tabula rasa.
