I think a light went on for him. But I wouldn't expect that over a whole season. He did that in one stretch over 3 years, so he's lost the benefit of the doubt. Expecting that production... there's not much basis for it. Additionally, he's been hampered by nagging injuries over his career, and that will affect his numbers.
I think he can be decent, something a bit below those lines. And I think people are forgetting that if this isn't a halfcourt team, we might see some better performances from some players. Boothe is still fast, is pretty fearless going to the rim. He'd be decent in the open court.
Generally I agree. Boothe's resurgence (if surgence was a word it'd be a better choice) seems to be a result of physical soundness coinciding with his finally getting it. The latter shouldn't be surprising to a SJ fan, SJ historically being a team that relied upon experience for success: Louie always had a couple of seniors and relied upon them - even over more talented underclassmen, of whom he had an abiding distrust. Admittedly under the last several coaches this has been less than true - neither Mason nor Gene Lawrence had the senior years I'd expected; OTOH although I don't even consider the Jarvae a "coach," even the hapless Donald Emanuel became competent in his senior year. Nor is this a phenomenon confined only to SJ, viz George Mason.
Regarding Boothe, I think he's going to surprise if he can stay healthy. He should flourish in a faster paced offense that doesn't rely merely on someone doing something with 10 seconds left on the shot clock. He's got a good handle, he's got good court vision, he's a good on the ball defender, he's adept - dare I say dookesque - at taking charges, and he's a surprisingly good rebounder for a midget. Hopefully he's taking 1000 jump shots a day. Eight points a game and a two to one assist ratio is Jason Buchanan territory. It's certainly not out of Boothe's reach, and it would probably be good enough for the team to be successful.
