I've been critical of him at times. He's not a good shooter. I doubt he's around after this season. Lyles will be the back up PF in 2016.
Bookers option officially picked up

I'm not sure if I'd invest big money into him, but I'm glad he's back for this season and I hope he parlays two good years behind Favors into a big contract elsewhere (like Carroll did) next offseason.
Jazz are building a strong, deep bench unit. Pleiss, Lyles, Booker, Jingles, Burks/Hood, Millsap and Burke/Neto all have specific roles on the bench and will grow leaps and bounds under the coaching staff. DL and Snyder are building something special. So excited for the season to begin.

th Jazz are not investing in him. His option is a bit expensive, but thinking about the overall situation, the desire to see the team grow without committing money to new biggish contracts, well picking up the option for next year was the reasonable "stand pat" move. I have no doubt that he would be very available along Burke if something interesting came along. in the summer of 2016 either he becomes a vet min or close too or he is out of the picture.
A reasonable conservative move by the FO in the context of the "internal growth" they are gunning for next season.

There's no way Booker is a veteran minimum guy. He will get more on his next contract than what the Jazz have paid him for these past two years.
Thankfully, Lyles looks like a player. Hopefully he's ready to take a big step up in the rotation next year when Booker signs a nice contract somewhere else.

That's the way I see it. Lyles and Pleiss will get some minutes this year, but Booker will get the bulk of the reserve PT. Then next year, Lyles takes over as the backup PF. I think I'm going to eat crow on the Lyles pick. He looks like a very good fit for Quin's offense.
