The only question some people around the team have is about his head.</p>
Boone is very self-critical, and one mistake tends to send him sideways - for the next play, for the rest of the game, for the next few games. He's working on that.</p>
Coaches have a term for these kind of young players: Mopers, they call them.</p>
"You know, if I let any kind of mistake bother me, I'm coming off the floor," Boone conceded. "That's been one of the key things that they've been telling me this year - that you've just got to play through everything, you've got to have a really short memory in this game, and if you make a mistake, just make sure it doesn't happen again.</p>
"But as far as I know, I'm not anymore. I wouldn't have considered myself a moper last year -- I'm just a little too hard on myself sometimes."</p>
"The more he plays, the more he'll outgrow that," Frank said. "It's a rite of passage with any young player. So much of this game is maintaining confidence. With Josh, he might dip his shoulders a little bit, but the more success he has, hopefully the less he does it."</p>

I found this very interesting...Boone's a Moper? Maybe that's why he could go from having 3 great games in a row to being out of the rotation. Hopefully, though, he doesn't do the same this season.</p>
