Bouk needs another year in college

[3RingsCT]

From what we’ve seen in recent games, is Bouknight still a lottery pick?

I say no. Not even close.

Kid's not ready yet.

Shut up with these takes. You go to the league when you are guaranteed millions REGARDLESS of your ability. If he averages 25 points a game next year, he will NOT get drafted any higher because he will be too old.

They are drafting on POTENTIAL of which Bouk oozes.

Bouk needs the NBA, they will make a player out of him

 

[HuskyBoi]

He may not be ready by your eyes but he is going to be drafted somewhere in the first round and make money

 

[Chin Diesel]

No he doesn't.

Go back to the JC interview earlier this week. Bouk has NBA athleticism and skill. He will not get better playing another year in college.

It's sad to watch these guys with so much promise come and go and leave us with so little. lol. i mean, the guy was incredible, but it must be pretty deflating to go out like this. would be nice to see him come back and try to make it right but i get the economics of it.

i was wondering how you guys thought he will be remembered as a husky.

nice to see gaffney get assertive...

 

[navery12]

He's not coming back. There's no use discussing it

 

[Milo65]

He’s gone, let him go

 

[Hi-Low]

He doesn't want to be in college anymore and I don't blame him. He can improve his game while being paid.

 

[Kitaman]

Ready or not he's gone. Sure he could benefit from one more year, but the money is ready for him, and that's why he plays basketball.

He can develop with pay, no different than an apprentice leaving college to work full time in their field.

The NBA be like, "we love guys that can't hit threes". ?

 

[Tenspro2002]

What he needs isn't going to come with another year in college.

He has to get tougher, physically and mentally, and it's either innate or he's going to get it through experience in the League. College isn't doing anything for him.

What for? Hell get better coaching in nba and get $$$

 

[GHSWolverines]

During his short time here (assuming he leaves) Bouk was electric. H e has brought excitement back to the program.
Who knows maybe he will shock us and come back.

It's overlooked how much credit Bouk deserves for being the first NBA talent to commit to Uconn after the dumpster fire Kevin Ollie created.

Bouk is going G League

 

[UconnPT2007]

Bouk needs to get as far away from this team as he can.

 

[LIuconn]

Absolute stud. International Pandemic year Messed with everyone this tournament is a s-show

If he goes in the lottery, yes, the money will be there. Now we will see how far he fell. If draft night comes and he is one of the last few picks in round 1, is it still a good decision? Round 2? Yeah, I doubt that happens too but what if it did?

 

[LIuconn]

^ what he said

 

[Chin Diesel]

There is no legacy. It's the Seinfeld of UConn legacies.

No fault to the kid. He played, he didn't accomplish anything for the program. Time to move on.

 

[ScuderiaDiU]

Honest question. Why do you say that?

First thing I thought at the end of the game. For sure the talent is there, and from an economic standpoint it's a no-brainer. But this season did very little for him. Got banged up and shut down, and seems to have lost some confidence. He needs to grow physically but I wish him well. He's going.
