Bouknight Draft Watch

Not Bouk related but this is crazy. From reading the comments it sounds like he has a heart condition. Hopefully he is okay.

Dang that's rough...didn't Baylor have the same thing happen to their 7 footer a few years back? Got diagnosed with a heart condition around the combine that kept him from playing again then they did a symbolic pick for him in the draft or something
 
Moses Moody’s measurements are wild (even lankier than Jeremy Lamb was). That may give him an edge over Bouk (whose measurements were very solid & right in line with what most scouts were anticipating) GM’s.

Keon Johnson’s measurements weren’t all that great when compared to Bouk & Moody. Very interested to see how they all test in the vertical/speed events.

End of the day tho, measurements don’t mean much if you can ball out. Steph Curry is a prime example of that.

I'm not sure why we try to find comps. I don't think he has a comp. His unique combination of athleticism, spatial awareness and skills mean he should be a player that thrives in the presence of other great players. Especially unselfish players.

Fit will be key for Bouknight.

That's kind of what you do during the draft process: try to figure out to whom he compares that's currently in the league. It's the same as projecting how good he'll be, as you did in this post. It's just another way of doing so, which is easier to see and interesting to talk about.

Looks like he wasn’t officially measured

He doesn’t have much to gain by doing it, but I think most guys eventually do it at some point

And if they don't then, hard to see them passing on him again at 14

Honestly doubt GS holds on to their picks seeing how their stars talked about how difficult it is playing with rookies. Looking out for OKC at 6 for Bouk right now. Could look great in that development program next to Shai.
 
That lottery did bouk no favors

Detroit and Toronto were high on the list for bouk fits imo

The thing is the star market hasn’t been kind for them and their fits
 
Yeah not good for Bouk. Looking like a Indiana at 13. Could feasibly see him slide past the lottery to the knicks or something like that as well. Mocks def not as high on him as they were late feb.

Oh yeah I don’t think they’d be an instant contender but if they got Bouk they’d have this core to work with.

Shai
Bouk
Dort
Bazely
Brown

Id be happy seeing Bouk get his shots and grow with that kind of squad.
 
SBNation post lottery mock had him goin 10 to NO

Givony has him 14 to GSW post lotto

Okc traded brown to the Cs

Damn I forgot about that. To get ANOTHER 1st round pick. Sheesh. In my head Kemba probably gets flipped for another 1st rounder before the year starts.

I could see them taking Barnes or kuminga at 6 and then using 16 and 18 to move up if they really like a guy

Ironically enough, tankathon actually has OKC taking Barnes at 6 and Bouknight at 16.
