Wonder if Bouknight has some perks like keys to every gym in the city

He looks phenomenal in these work out videos he’s been posting on social media
 
It appears that there is a very good chance that Bouk will indeed be a lottery pick. Chief, you couldn't have been more wrong.

Don't underestimate the Chief :)

They listed his high school injury as one of his weaknesses. Give me a break. Would love to see him on the Knicks though.

I think NBA teams do care about that stuff. The thought process is if the kid is in college, he probably had an experienced sports surgeon doing the work who has done the same surgery to elite athletes many times..if he's in high school, maybe not. It is weird to list it as a "weakness" though.

Does anyone in the draft have more range than Bouk right now? Seen him anywhere from 7-20s

Vecenie is plugged in though. If he's saying 9, I would be surprised if Bouk goes lower than 14... gonna be all about where a team that loves him gets a spot in the lottery.

Maybe Cam Thomas?

Bouks mocks are so confusing. Jordan Schultz from ESPN made a comment saying that he would be surprised if Bouknight was on the board at 8, but then the ESPN top-100 has him around 20 (last I saw).

Good call. I wouldn't be surprised if some team decides he's the next CJ McCollum, or if everyone calls him a bust because he lacks size/hops/passing. He's polarizing (at least for fans) because of size/athleticism in the same way Bouk is polarizing for his shooting %s and TOs. Always easier to make a case for a kid that has the height and can jump out of the gym though.

I was gonna say I’ve seen Thomas mocked anywhere from the Celtics pick to the early 30s

Easily the biggest variance I’ve seen in this draft.

Thomas had a weird beal type profile.

But it sounds like he is jus awful to play with.

One article I read talked about how he was such a black hole that he would stare down open teammates and then throw up contested shots

But being able to create your offense is such a huge skill. It really depends on if a team thinks he can do a lot of it himself or if he needs to be set up.

And a team like Houston should absolutely use their two early 20s firsts to try and jump them

Bouk will last 8 games before Thibbs runs him into the ground and ruins his career. No UConn fan should want that.
 
This draft mock wise seems to be really scattered after the top 4 guys. Moody, Johnson, Springer, Cam, Kai Jones, Wagner, Cooper & Isaiah Jackson all seem to not have any consensus on where they’ll land.

I’ll be surprised if Wagner isn’t a lottery pick.

Memphis seems like a good landing spot for him though as they are more analytically inclined.

I would’ve said Boston a good fit until yesterday.

Golden state might be the place for him. Imagine putting him on the floor with Steph and klay. That’s a lot of shooting

I’m strictly just talking about where I’m seeing them on mocks, I don’t disagree with ya here.
Usually these mocks seem to have consensus top 4 guys, then top 8, then lottery, then guys that seem to slot that 15-25 range. This draft seems to be a consensus top 4, Kuminga top 8 & then about 12 guys that fan go 6-24

Exactly, I see Cam Thomas as a guy thats scoring 20ppg for most of his career if he gets the playing time. Just such a natural scorer.
