is that the preferred offense of Shrews? I kind of thought we were playing that way because we had to -- Shrews didn't have a choice considering our personnel last season. I think if Booth had stuck it out, that could have changed with portal additions and the incoming freshman.

He also says he is a "shooter." I'm not sure I saw that in his game last year.

If you watch the highlight video, more than 80% of the time

he is on the court with Zona or Njie. Maybe Shrewsberry wanted to play 4 guards more often, but Booth was usually on the court with a post player. The highlight video is also an excellent example of how misleading a highlight video can be. Yes it shows Booth's high ceiling, but not his current floor. I wish him well on his journey.

He shots 29.7% from three & 39.1 fgp. It did seem like his

three point shooting improved as the year progressed.

He shot 25% for threes in conference games...

I just looked it up. He is really going to have to work on that part of his game if he is going to be successful at any of the transfer schools he listed.

He will definitely need to work on it. *
