Bouknight Draft Watch

[JimCtheGOAT]

Watching the playoffs I really like the Book(er) comp for Bouk. I love how the Suns use him
and run sets for him. I can see Bouk being used in a similar way. This is obviously a high bar but they have a very similar profile and skill set. Bouk needs to really work on his mid range game. He has the slashing and driving down but the mid range game is where Booker really separates himself from the hundred other attacking guards.

Has there been any interest from the Pelicans? Seems like the perfect landing spot for him, with them having a good shot to pick around 7-8. Having Zion, Ball, and Ingram as the main pieces, Bouk would be a nice fit here. He doesn't have much to compete with at the 2 gaurd spot with an older Eric Bledsoe in the mix, and Josh Hart and Nickeil Walker as his main competition for the spot, I think it's perfect for him to potentially land a starting spot midway through the season or earlier, and get some early career playoff experience. I love it personally.

No interest. Won’t happen.

I'd imagine the Pels are more interested in finding playmaking, though Zion's playmaking chops sure are enticing. I don't think they're keeping Lonzo. If not playmaking then shooters.

they drafted Kira Lewis last year over
A shooter.

they need shooters.

especially with their centers being big guys who can’t shoot outside of 3 feet

He looks stronger to me as well. Getting good advice it seems.

I think it started when he ignored that guy that said he needed another year.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

stoked for Bouk...now I'm gonna go throw up after watching that camera work

 

[Incursio007]

As a competitor, he must be pissed to not hit 20 in a row. Never settle! Lol

Yea, who was that guy anyway?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Love the attention but making 19 straight threes in this scenario means nothing

Love the attention but making 19 straight threes in this scenario means nothing

It kinda does when you shot 32%.

But can he do that against a chair? if he can be a threat from 3 and stay injury free Bouk will make some team very happy. The kids has so much potential

Would love Golden State to snag him with the Timberwolves first rounder. What a great landing spot for him.

OKC with our boy Mark Daigenault another strong spot. He and SGA would be fun to watch.

I don't love the Raptors for him. I feel like they are at a crossroads. They are most likely losing Lowry, Siakam took a big step back.. I think they are going in the wrong direction quickly.

Let's avoid the Kings at all costs. What a horrendous franchise.

Andre Drummond has hit like 15 straight threes in practice. It doesn’t show much

Is there video of this?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Is there video of this?

Exaggeration but there are videos of him hitting them at a high percentage. Main point is that hitting 19 in practice with no pressure doesn’t mean much and shouldn't mean much

“If the Pistons end up picking fifth, I think they go with James Bouknight, an upside scorer who was an efficient finisher at UConn.”

Cleared a 63 inch box like it was nothing.... he’s going top top 10. Competitive .
