In Reply to: New Cronin interview posted by mh on August 19, 2026 at 09:55:28
Seems to me Cronin is pretty happy with Jovic at the 5. He was very defensive about not recruiting a post player. He also said, “Xavier Booker can play the 4.” I thought they were talking about the 5, so did he mispeak, or is he really planning to play Booker at the 4?
If you add that to his earlier comment, from the previous interview, that Booker started playing much better once they began bringing him off the bench, you really have to wonder. Maybe Cronin is thinking about starting Jovic. That would be a real surprise to me.
The other thing I hated hearing was that Freeny is coming off an injury.
