We've reached the very midway point of the 2011-12 season, which is kind of refreshing given that the All-Star Break usually signifies the 60-percent mark of the year. As such, we'll be running midseason evaluation threads for each player on the team over the next several days. Next up: Trevor Booker.

SYNOPSIS: Trevor Booker's development has been one of the positives from a really tough first half. He began the year getting little playing time, but worked his way up to the point where he seized the starting power forward job. While he clearly has areas he must improve (jump-shooting, pick and roll defense), his hustle and deferential attitude are the kinds of things this Wizards team needs.
