Xavier Booker has not met the expectation that many fans had for him coming in as a McDonald's All-American. But the five-star forward isn't making excuses, and is committed to putting in the work required to earn trust and a role as a regular contributor. "It's not going to come easy, and it's not going to come all at once," Booker said. "I'm just trying to take everything day by day and not getting too hard on myself."
