Bouknight arrested?

[ConnHuskBask]

In the end, I don’t think anybody is rooting against Bouknight. Everyone wants the best for him. Speaking for myself, I hope he gets his stuff together. He is athletically gifted and could be a phenomenal talent. regardless, he genuinely seemed like a nice kid. I wish the best for him, whatever that may be.

Based on what? He played college basketball at UConn and not Syracuse?

He could use a call from Maurice Clarett

I hope this is not an indication of him being down on himself right now. People are sometimes drunk in their car because of depression, rather than joyriding. No way of knowing, but I'm concerned.

Usually that's what page 5-8 of threads are for.

Charlotte has front court, back court, off the court issues. Their legal team going to burn out.

Heck with basketball right now JB. Get some professional help.

 

[Umami Zen]

Hope JB gets some help soon before he hurts himself or someone else.

Almost everyone is redeemable. Everyone makes mistakes- our hopes are that our greatest ones don’t permanently impact ourselves or especially others in a horrible or irreversible manner. He’s come way too close, way too many times; and, when you burn bridges and shut out the people who are trying to help you and tell you the truth, there aren’t a lot of ways things can turn out positively.

Hinting that he shut people from UConn out?

Or what about Caron Butler?

I live in Mecklenburg County. The courts here do not mess around with traffic violations. I got ticketed for going 43 in a 35. I showed up to the court date because I didn’t want the points on my license. To no avail; got the point and incurred $200 in court costs. There’s a chance he does time.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Clearly he has a problem. Tis is his 3rd incident since February. I hope he figures it out before it is too late/.

84 mph in a 35 mph zone
92 in a 50 mph zone
107 mph in a 65 mph zone
Crash his freshman year at UConn.

And now unconscious under the influence in a parked car (with a presumably legal firearm since he wasn't cited).

This is how Henry Ruggs happened. Bouknight is extremely lucky he hasn't had a more serious incident.

I also live in Meck County. Have you ever tried iticket.law? Costs some money but they go to court for you and almost always avoid points. Extremely worth it.

I never posted about this because I put nothing to it at the time, but a kid I know works in leasing at a big company and bouknight lives in an apartment or penthouse in one of their buildings.

Apparently he’s been a gigantic cause of issues for a while. Once again could be a nothing story I figured he was just a young kid playing loud music and I never heard anymore.

I would guess he’s more than just a nuisance based on his track record. Knew the property owner of a building in Boston that Kendrick Perkins lived at along with other players. Said Perk would constantly and openly smoke weed in the hallways. Said he hated athletes as tenants cause they felt the rules didn’t apply to them. Book probably acts the same way with thinking he’s above everything. We’ve all seen it for 4+ years now

He needs to do some soul searching and figure his bs out. He’s on his way out of the league before ever being known. Complete tragedy but he has a chance for redemption

 

[alphasigko]

Truly a dumbo is he....It is very disappointing to watch him in free fall...just loaded with superb talent but without the self-discipline to succeed....SMH....I truly hope that he figures his life out sooner than later

 

[gtcam]

haven't seen an NBA franchise get smacked like this with off court issues in awhile. everyone always signs their rookie extensions but I wonder what Lamelo Ball is thinking, the Hornets are in hell

Yep that’s it It’s on the franchise. Bouk was as clean as a whistle before he arrived at Charlotte. If anything, the franchise either fails to carefully screen their draft choices or they feel they can overcome their shortfalls. Bouk had known issues before he came to UConn, displayed questionable behavior before his freshman season started, decided to go off track before and during the NBE tournament and NCAAs his sophomore year. Then he makes himself look like a high schooler drinking for the first time during a visit back to campus last season. Certain people know/knew very well what Bouk was doing to himself but turned blind eyes.
The kid is an unbelievable talent and could be experiencing the start of a good NBA career but he cannot seem to want to get himself on the right road.
Basketball aside, I truly hope that he seeks the help for whatever ails him so he can live his life with clear eyes and mind. I sincerely wish the best for Bouk. The road isn’t easy. I’ve lived it.

Bruh wtf are you rambling about lol. I'm not saying the Hornets caused Bouk to have offcourt issues

That's what it sounds like to me and it is incredibly sad.

 

[Scoe]

Wearing a hooded jacket over your head indoors with shades on is probably not a good sign btw.

 

[kbdiggity]

He was found passed out drunk in his car in a parking deck. It appears he realized he was too drunk to drive and decided to sleep it off in his car.

Unfortunately he has 3 prior arrests over the last year in Charlotte, all for reckless driving.

Never heard of it but will look into it if I get pulled over again. Cornelius, where I am, has the most aggressive police force I’ve ever seen when it comes to traffic violations.

Local news is reporting gun charges may be forthcoming.
