Booker was full of praise for the 7-foot-4 centre after the game, describing him as something the NBA has never seen before.
“It’s something like we’ve never seen before. He can handle the ball, but his instincts for the game are off the charts, too. If he’s not blocking shots, he’s altering them so it’s a tough matchup.”
