He's clearly deferring the Gilbert and Vital when it comes to shooting.  I see Akok doing the same.  Neither guy seems  to feel like they should be the one to take over a game yet.  I don't want Bouknight to play like Vital as [USER=2844]@gtcam[/USER] suggests, I want him to add a little Jalen Adams to his game.  Know when the team needs you to be the guy in key stretches.

Most impressive things I see in Bouknight are the way he reads the game.  Spend some time just watching him and it becomes obvious.  He anticipates when a shot will go up, who will take and it from where, then slides into ideal rebounding position or attacks that spot.   A fair number of guys have that, but not many with his athletic gifts as well.   A few times I watched him read the defense and go to exactly the right spot expecting the ball, which didn't come.  Once against WSU he clearly waived and called for the ball and either AG or CV didn't deliver it and in fact passed it the opposite way.
