Albeit an unappealing signing, Trevor Booker was the final addition to the Pacers puzzle. The 10th man in the rotation, the backup power forward, the guy who brings them that last bit of lineup flexibility for the playoffs. Even though he probably won’t ever crack more than 15 minutes in a meaningful game, Booker’s signing is important.
Through three games, we have seen him bring to the table exactly what we expected.
As discussed right after the power forward was inked to his contract, Booker is a burlesque, ground-bound big man. Most of his skills can be found in the paint; rebounding, boxing out, post-ups, just being a big body.
