Bouknight Preseason Debut

The Hornets looked horrendous. No urgency with the ball. No ability to finish. Bouk was way too hesitant in the first half on the 2nd unit. He'd run the set, and then pass the ball when he didn't have an immediate opening, and let Ish Smith drive at his guy and attempt to either pass to someone not ready or throw up a prayer.

I didn't watch the 2nd half, but looks like he took and missed a few more shots.

Bouknight was a -39 +/- in the game.

Bouk had a few nice drives in the second half. He looked ok, but the Hornets were a mess due to all the missing players. I'm not worried about Bouk at all. One the starters and Oubre return, he will look fine playing alongside them.

From my vantage point I saw the coach imploring him to take the ball to the basket each time he checked in. I’m not sure Bouk is super comfortable with contact right now though he got hurt twice again this game when he took heavy contact. Mavs have some big boys. Charlotte was without their 4 best players much of the game he should have had a better game. Mavs looked to be a much better coached team, even their routine coming out of the tunnel was very structured. Charlotte seemed to be playing much more freestyle.

Don't get down on yourself. It's preseason. You have time to learn how to hold your phone correctly for taking pics. Some of the newer phones even let you check out a pic after you take it and rotate it.

We know you have better games ahead of you.

I know this has been said in the past during his time with us but his body language on the bench is horrendous. I cringe every time I see him live.

I bet on the Hornets because it was the home opener and Indiana had a few injuries, but I did not expect the Bouk dnp and 20 point 3rd Q comeback.
 
I’m sorry how does your lottery pick not get run in game 1?!

Still weird he didn’t get any run at all with Rozier out. Not saying the sky is falling but not a great look to start the year, let’s not forget how the hornets handled the whole Malik monk situation early on.

It really wasn’t THAT weird tho. Hornets played a pretty short bench, in a game, trying to come back. Only guard they played outside their starters was Ish. Ish is a PG, creating for others hasn’t been a skill yet that Bouk has displayed. The ability to create for others will likely increase his minutes in the future.
