Bouknight Draft Watch

Bouknight going high in the draft only helps us recruiting - top 10 would be great

Seems like the momentum is for Scottie Barnes at 4 to Toronto, not Bouk, Maybe a smokescreen, but l guess somewhat possible Bouk goes 5th to Orlando, although it's probably even more possible they just take Suggs and Bouk still goes 6 to OKC.

@Chief00 would you like to walk back your not a lottery pick take before the draft when everyone will come for you?

You must be new here. Whatever he turns into in the NBA, we're in for a decade of "well imagine what he could have been had he come back to school to mature a bit".

Anyone know why Kuminga’s stock seems to be slightly falling? Wondering if his pro day & workouts just weren’t as good as Barnes and Bouk.

Not sure if it’s a result of Kuminga’s performances or if people are just realizing there are better prospects than him.

Podcasts I’ve heard say he doesn’t have any natural feel for the game despite being a physical beast.

Got it. Thanks for the input

Some of his G-league highlights are impressive because of him being a physical beast, but I have heard he struggles with consistency as well.

That and he shot horrifically from all 3 levels in the G-League.

Even after the G-League season ended he was pretty high on mocks (low of 5) and now a lot of mocks have him 7ish which is the lowest i’ve seen him to date, so wasn’t sure if anything had changed since then

He clearly has the upside and the intangibles but not as polished as most of the high lottery guys.

Wasn't there some crazy post here that only the top 5 picks should actually be called lottery? Maybe this is a solid pivot for cheif.

Seems like everyone has him going 6 to OKC! I guess OKC has put that information out there. They did something similar last year, making it well known they were interested in Pokusevski before they traded up to get him. It also seems like the Thunder are trying to work their way into the Top 3 too though, so I guess we'll see what ends up happening. Would be so sick to see James go #6.

I think the Magic surprise people and take him at 5.

Hollinger thinks it’s a smokescreen because this isn’t their normal mo.

Don’t really see anything egregious with the list Bilas has. Definitely think Bouk is top 10 and obviously some guys are better than others but beyond the top 4 I don’t think there’s a lot of separation between say 5-20.

Huh? Bilas is very fair by almost every account. Don't be one of those fans that feel slighted by an analyst that doesn't feel exactly how you feel about your team and its players.

Yeah, he gave gabby Williams a ton of credit when she was slaying at UConn.

But this is an odd top 10.

Although kispert tested as a better athlete than expected.
 
Before I even started reading it I knew he was gonna have Jalen Johnson in it. I think this is a strange top 10.
