Hollinger has bouk over Keon on his athletic board.

But he also gives bouk a Clarkson comp…

I can definitely see a Clarkson comp, actually.

I was trying to think of a scorer who he reminds me of, I think he's more complete a player than Clarkson but playing style and scoring ability, I can see.

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 is a lot less than 7 ft, but still manageable

Are you sure that standing reach number is accurate? His wingspan is right in line or like 1/2 inch longer than all the other great shooting guards in the league who are his size but Bouknight's standing reach puts him much less than them.

Great to hear he had a + wingspan. He's no JLamb but it isn't going to hurt him much. Maybe a neutral since it' about where other guys are, slightly longer than a few.

Standing reach is substally lower than other 6'5 guys in the league. That might hurt him in some GMs eyes that are big on measurables. How sure are you it's right? It doesn't add up next to other guys with similar wingspans.

Considering his dunking ability, you gotta think he's over 40 inches for his vertical though. That will push him to a top 10 pick.

Let me reconfirm…..does seem low.

Yeah that standing reach is the same as guys with a significantly shorter wingspan. Not sure how that would be possible.

You know when they test vertical? I'm putting my money on 43" max with a surprisingly high standing vert... he got UP for some offensive boards with no step up at all this year

Where did it even come from? I have tried searching and I don't see anything about the measurables being released for the combine, for him or anybody else.

Agreed. Looks solid, not bad at all but nothing sticks out. The athletic measurements are going to be wuere he can stick out vs some other guys... Idk about his lateral speed, but his vert has gotta be excellent
Expand ...
Yeah bunch of pistons fans (where it’s likeliest he lands if the board shapes up how it might) are encouraged. Someone mentioned they thought he could be a 6’ 10 wingspan but his isn’t bad at all. If I’m a GM I’m fine with it. If he blows away with his vert then he’s in excellent shape.
 
Interesting stats. Of the some 60 plus guys measured no one was a bare foot 7 footer. Bouk was in the lower 1/3rd height wise. A third of guys had 7 foot or more wing span. 11 guys with under 5% body fat! You don't have to jump much to touch the rim if you can reach 9 foot 4 1/2 inches.

All of this makes me wonder what AJax will measure at a combine

If that standing reach is accurate his vertical must be crazy.

That makes much more sense, right in line with Booker and the other star league guards in his height range, or a little bit better than them.

Actual legit 7 footers are extremely rare, that's why Clingan's size is so impressive.
