Bouknight Draft Watch

[Huskyforlife]

I just hope people are prepared in case the Bouknight hype was just a smoke screen, we should still be happy if he goes anywhere in the lottery.

That's terrible news, this is all so stupid.

The big ? with Bouk was the 3 point shooting. After he lit up the combine he has been flying up the draft board. I join the crew who don't want him lost in Orlando. OKC, GSW or Toronto would be much better landing spots, but I am thinking Orlando will pick him at 5 if they were smart. However, below pretty much sums up the Magic's recent draft history. I hope they continue down this path by picking Scottie Barnes so Bouk can avoid the Orlando disaster.

The Magic were major players at the NBA Draft for six long seasons starting in 2013, a stretch during which they never once extracted even average value from the slots at which they picked. It’s a result of disastrous futility for any team, let alone one that was attempting to extricate itself from a prolonged rebuild. That they were doing so with a slew of top ten picks makes the failure all the more difficult to swallow.

Yes, and the unspoken issue was whether his frame could hold up, especially the way he plays to contact. The injury he suffered would have raised some questions. When I saw he added 10 pound of muscle, I thought that was very much needed to help his stock, along with the shooting.

He doesn’t even try to hide his bias. I hate ESPN so much.

He needs to get beat up for making that list

I dislike Lebron, but he has a top 5 draft day suit of all time

Bummer. The venue can return the sheetrock that Danny woulda ran through after Bouk’s name is called.

His chest bump might’ve knocked bouk over….

ESPN changed Bouk from 6 to 7, Golden State.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Bouknight listed #7 on some ESPN guy's "best player available".

 

[Hoophound]

Evan Mobley, 7’ and shoots the 3. “The Ideal modern big man”.

 

[aburks41]

Barnes over Suggs???!??!?

 

[UofCT]

Barnes at 4? Wow

 

[RayRay]

Got a feeling Bouk going to the magic here after the slightly surprising Barnes pick at 4. Magic don’t need another pg.

 

[eebmg]

Barnes over Suggs???!??!?

I guess shooting is optional

 

[eebmg]

Barnes at 4? Wow

Suggs to Orlando at #5.

 

[Hoophound]

Glad Bouk slipped past OKC. Dream come true if he goes next to Golden State. Turn your TVs on.

 

[uchusky32]

GS please

 

[SportsFan88]

OKC just made a terrible mistake
