Any ex UConn players actively playing in Europe?

[Chief00]

You don't have any league sources lmao

I do.

 

[MDHuskFan]

A couple first rounders, even a high lottery pick above. Chief tried to give Bouknight’s handlers a little context and benefit from experience. Unfortunately, they just seem to make decisions based on the best case scenario and do not seem to want to be bothered by the spectrum of various possible outcomes that often happen in real life.

List is also 10 4 year college players & 3 Jr’s. Couldn’t it also indicate staying too long in college is a negative?!?

The point Chief was making is that it’s important to be ready when drafted. Because, it’s not only about being drafted but about being ready. The guys who were 4 year guys were generally not projected to go lottery or for the most part even first round.

 

[aburks41]

This must be Chief because I can't see the comments and it's so ridiculous. He's claiming to have NBA sources now? Bwahahahaha.

You got it. He’s saying that he tried to talk to bouknights people to tell them that his league sources say he will no longer be a lottery pick and he should come back to school....lol

As if Chief has better league sources than the kid who is actually talking to NBA scouts every day ?

 

[ClifSpliffy]

i don't know too much aboot the draft stuff, i just watch players and remember who i think is real good. like evan. he good, real good. yet, when i looked at some mocks, and saw that bj boston is guessed to be in the 20s or 30s, i thought 'that ain't right. he good, real good.' like, guess his spot using only my 2 hands good.
i really can't believe that some drafter won't be thinking the same thing. and jackson, also from kentucky? in the 30s? with only a handful of bigs mentioned in the first 40? i don't think so. i like him too. i bet some of those drafters do as well.

"He's a consensus lottery pick"
"No your mock drafts are wrong, my sources tell me he's a late lottery pick"

This board is really something else

This board IS something else I’m totally with you but certain people on here are like BEYOND something else 10x LOL

We should jump him ?????

 

[SportsFan88]

I think your information is dated and I am going by League sources not mock drafts. My sources say late lottery - hope they are wrong but absent a secret agreement with a team, and it’s too early for that, my sources are likely right.

What’s wrong with you man?

The couple of first rounders you reference are Josh Boone and Hasheem Thabeet. Thabeet is literally the biggest bust in NBA draft history with career averages of 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds despite being the #2 overall pick, and Boone shot himself out of the NBA by being historically bad from the free throw line (well under 40% from the line two straight years) to the point where he was unplayable. Neither of those players' experience have any relevancy whatsoever to James Bouknight who's skillset is different and infinitely better than both of them.

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Well, they are predicting Top 10 pick, I hope they are right and then they can laugh at Chief. Chief is merely repeating what I am hearing. True, some time passes between memories of MSG and the NCAA game and the draft - let’s hope that moves the needle some.

Who is this "I" you speak of?

 

[UCLJ0211]

Still surprised Jalen Adams hasn’t gotten another shot being called up by the NBA. Seems to have been killing it in the G League and France the past few years.

I think he deserves a shot. It seems in the g league he was excelling as a combo and shooting guard. Nba teams can find someone almost as good as him who is 5 years younger though in the second round.

 

[huskyfan224]

Bouk is all over the place on mock drafts, highest I’ve seen is 8 and lowest is 18..seems like he will be a late lottery or fall just out of lottery. Who knows, just hope it’s a good fit

He is 25 years old . Not exactly ancient.
How many 20 year old’s are capable of running an NBA team ?
Maybe Bazz should be in a nursing home as he is almost 30.

He is only 25 years old
Not exactly ancient and much more capable of running an NBA team than 99% of what will be available in the second round . Two years of Professional and G League experience. are huge.
Then you have guys like Bazz pushing 30 with some NBA success. The competition at guard is vicious.
Your hunger has to be huge.
Bouk had a height advantage which is an edge. Every edge you have is helpful for success.

But that's the point, if you have 2 players with equal talent the NBA team is always going to go with the one who's 5+ years younger and they have the extra time to mold. Jalen is going to get his chance eventually, but it's going to have to come at the expense of someone like Mike James signing a 10 day contract, not a good college prospect

Giffey's German team just won the championship:



Giffey's stats: 10.5p, 3.6r, 1.3a , 45.3 3p% in 20.2 mpg. Third straight season averaging double-digits.

Teammates with ex-Louisville guard Peyton Siva and Florida State big Christ Koumadje.

 

[How Sway?!]

From a week back, no idea the level of the team but they do play in the Champions League so more exposure

 

[Waquoit]

I would think now's the time in the process to cut the deadwood and the hanger's on.
