Key takeaways from the Sixers’ 131-124 loss Sunday night in New Orleans.
Trevor Booker making immediate impact
Last night, I wrote that Booker’s debut was exquisite considering his lack of knowledge of the schemes and plays that the Sixers run. He picked up right where he left off and put in another great performance on the second night of a back-to-back. When he compared himself to T.J. McConnell, just a little bit bigger, he wasn’t wrong. He pushes the ball and is a tough guy who will do anything to keep the ball alive. He finished his second game with the Sixers with 16 points, nine rebounds, one steal, and one block in 24 minutes off the bench.
