16 “It’s just all about being professional,” said Booker. “I’ve been in this league for a while, so I’ve had to learn. I look at the veterans that have been around me and learn from them. I’ve had some good veterans, I’ve had some ones. Luckily, the good definitely stuck with me and I’ve learned from them. Now I’m able to lead the younger guys and be that professional in the locker room.”

More than just a mentor, Booker profiled as a player that had upside of his own. After starting about half the games he played for the Wizards, Booker spent the last two seasons coming off the bench in Utah and putting up some strong efficiency numbers.

With the Nets, he’s playing a career-high 27.2 minutes, averaging 10.0 points and a team-leading 8.9 rebounds through January 18. Booker is bettering not just his previous overall numbers, but the per-36 minute rates he’s put up throughout his career.

“He’s everything we want to be about,” said Atkinson. “Humble. High-character guy. I think there were questions whether he could play this role, starting power forward, and that’s a heck of a challenge, right? Kind of been a backup and limited minutes guy and now here he’s stepping in and playing 25 to 30 minutes every night and rebounding and playing like a starter. It’s good for the Nets, great for him, and I’m really happy for him.”
