Message: [QUOTE="bendm, post: 3914528, member: 9151"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/31121397/how-top-nba-draft-prospects-fared-ncaa-men-basketball-tournament[/URL] Top 100 ranking: 18 Bouknight's college career likely ended on a disappointing note, with two of his worst games of the season coming in UConn's losses in the Big East and NCAA tournaments against Creighton and Maryland. He was 10-for-30 from the field with three turnovers and seven assists in those two games. That's particularly discouraging considering Bouknight was limited to 15 games due to an injury and finished the season shooting 29% from beyond the arc while posting a 1.8 to 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio. Nevertheless, there's a lot to like about Bouknight's talent as a shot-creator. He handles the ball on a string and has real shot-making prowess from all over the floor. His body will likely continue to fill out, which should help him on the defensive end, where he struggles at the moment, as well as when taking contact around the basket. Bucket-getters in the [URL='https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2528426/jordan-clarkson']Jordan Clarkson[/URL] mold are easy fits in today's NBA, making Bouknight a strong candidate to hear his name called somewhere in the 10-20 range, even if he'll need to have a strong pre-draft process after the uneven end to his season.
