Anthony Booker brings old-school size, rim protection, and blue-collar production
In the 2011-12 season, Iowa State forward Anthony Booker averaged 3.5 points and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 48.9% from the field, and Sports-Reference lists him with a 2008 RSCI ranking of 83, showing he was a legitimate high-major recruit. He stood 6-foot-9 and 255 pounds, gave the Cyclones physical interior defense, and finished among the team leaders in blocks, making him the kind of tough, low-drama frontcourt piece that helps on the margins. If a roster needs size, effort, and a steady paint presence, Booker is a very workable fit.
