Bouknight Draft Watch

[ucawn]

Does OKC love him enough to trade up to 4 to get him if they think Orlando will take him at 5?

The only reason OKC would trade up is to get Mobley

I think CLE should take that if they take love’s deal

OKC fans seem to be the most sold on him.

You have to wonder if Orlando really wants him at 8, if they'll have to draft him at 5 to avoid OKC and GSW who are seemingly the most interested.

Betmgm odds for Bouknight to be picked #5 were +4000 this morning. The odds are now +750.

@Chief00 would you like to walk back your not a lottery pick take before the draft when everyone will come for you?

Wow

Bouknight going high in the draft only helps us recruiting - top 10 would be great

Seems like the momentum is for Scottie Barnes at 4 to Toronto, not Bouk, Maybe a smokescreen, but l guess somewhat possible Bouk goes 5th to Orlando, although it's probably even more possible they just take Suggs and Bouk still goes 6 to OKC.

You must be new here. Whatever he turns into in the NBA, we're in for a decade of "well imagine what he could have been had he come back to school to mature a bit".

You mean, “when I told James to leave after his sophomore year and trained and advised him leading up to the draft…”

THIS! Fears did the picture collage of our offer & the player used was Bouk…. Telling IMO

I think whats more likely is we hear about Chief having played a role in "James" getting drafted higher.

Anyone know why Kuminga’s stock seems to be slightly falling? Wondering if his pro day & workouts just weren’t as good as Barnes and Bouk.

Not sure if it’s a result of Kuminga’s performances or if people are just realizing there are better prospects than him.

Podcasts I’ve heard say he doesn’t have any natural feel for the game despite being a physical beast.

Got it. Thanks for the input

Some of his G-league highlights are impressive because of him being a physical beast, but I have heard he struggles with consistency as well.

That and he shot horrifically from all 3 levels in the G-League.

Even after the G-League season ended he was pretty high on mocks (low of 5) and now a lot of mocks have him 7ish which is the lowest i’ve seen him to date, so wasn’t sure if anything had changed since then

He clearly has the upside and the intangibles but not as polished as most of the high lottery guys.

Wasn't there some crazy post here that only the top 5 picks should actually be called lottery? Maybe this is a solid pivot for cheif.
