Summary:

Xavier Booker is an athletic big man currently plays for UCLA. He was a highly touted recruit coming into college, but he’s really struggled to knock down shots or to make an impact on the offensive end during his time at Michigan State so far. His length and mobility allow him to make some plays as a shot blocker defensively, but Booker will need to spend a lot of time to improve and hone his overall game before he becomes a viable prospect for the NBA.
