Trevor Booker was another Brooklyn Net with a bigger role in 2016-2017. Previously, Booker carved his NBA niche as a high-energy reserve, providing toughness, rebounding and athleticism for the Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz. He was also a locker room leader – awarded the Utah Jazz Teammate of the Year award in 2015-2016.
Booker averaged career bests in several statistical categories this season. (That’s probably true for almost every Nets player.) He notched career bests in points (10.0), rebounds (8.0), assists (1.9), steals (1.1) and minutes played (1754). Booker started 43 games with Brooklyn after starting only seven in two seasons with Utah.
