Bouknight Draft Watch

[nomar]

Shades of Cliff.

We got a loooooong way to go!

I remember that like it was yesterday. Poor guy. He showed em all though!

 

[eebmg]

Let him go to SA at 12. Probably best for career.

Let him go to SA at 12. Probably best for career.

They got a highly paid sg in white and just took one at 12 last year in vessel.

indy and gs are fine, or let him be balls running mate.

Shades of Aaron Rodgers when he kept falling...all this does is just create more motivation.

I get it ur a giddey fan, I said let’s agree to disagree, and that’s not the reason he slipped, but you got it

It is why he slipped, Bouk had flaws this year and those were the flaws. Fragile, loose handle. He’ll be a good pro, but that’s what hurt him. Many knew it, fanboys didn’t.

I’m not a Giddey fan. I just know 6’9” guards are rare and he played very well as a young player in a very good Australian league.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Lamelo and Bouk please.

 

[How Sway?!]

James to Charlotte

 

[aceboon]

Melo & Bouk is gonna be fun

 

[nomar]

Schmitz keeps pushing Bouk

CHA is a good fit!

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

So excited to watch the Big Baller and Bouknight play together for years to come. As a big fan of both this couldn't be any better.

 

[Kitaman]

Bouk needs to smile, its ok. Dream came true!

 

[CTMike]

11 is a great spot, congrats to Book. Way higher than Chief predicted, who owes Book an apology.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

My god not the hornets again for a star UConn player

 

[UConnMike04]

Damn he looks miserable.

 

[Hoophound]

Highlight of the the night. The UConn list of ballers.

Read he has his head down on the table after the 9th pick. Obv right move was to go but I think he thought he’d have gone top 10. If he knew he’d be out of the top 10 I really wonder if he would’ve come back one more year.

Absolutely not. He wasn't projected to go top 10 when he left.

 

[HooperScooper]

Going into the draft I think everyone would have been happy with 11th. It's just everyone's expectations changed when we saw everyone talking about him in the 6-8 range. More motivation for him. Maybe Caron can talk to him.

 

[Hoophound]

Why? Charlotte has a franchise player now and a fun young team, this isn't the Kemba era Hornets.

Damn he looks miserable.

Ha. He always looks miserable! Yes, I hope Charlotte has it figured out.

This take is so bad. Original mocks had him going anywhere between 11-20. He made his decision long before anyone thought he could go as high as 6.

How many college JRs have been selected so far? Just 1, and he won the national title. If Bouknight stayed he was likely going later in the draft next year than he would be going tonight. Being a year older is just another hurdle to you being drafted highly.

 

[RichCTBB]

Damn he looks miserable.

I’m not able to watch….does he look miserable or…..HUNGRY?

 

[nomar]

My god not the hornets again for a star UConn player

The Bobcats drafted them

 

[NowInStorrs]

Just don’t slip to Charlotte.

Narrator voice: But he would slip to Charlotte.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Chip on his shoulder. Gonna get a lot of good looks from LaMelo. Good situation for him.

I was just going off what Borges said in his tweet after the 9th pick. I always personally thought 10-15.

 

[navery12]

I wouldn't even say Bouk looked miserable, that's just his demeanor. He looked like that the entire 2 years he was here and the entire time we recruited him too. And so many people criticized him for it the entire time
