Yeah. You’re probably right. But, Bouknight needs more time. He’s now our second leading scorer with limited minutes.I agree. Bouknight should start in place of CV to give AG a better option. CV would be better off the bench. BA should back up AG. That’s how I see this ending up.

Haha. Quoted the wrong post. Was actually trying to reply to your post.quoting and agreeing with yourself. nice
I didn't say bench Gilbert and Bouknight isn't a point guard but he's our best player. I'm of the opinion you always start your best player and give him as many touches as possible.He’s played two games, lol. Let’s let this play out organically. Hurley has a great understanding of basketball, not sure benching Gilbert after 5 games is the way to go about it.
The reality is for us to do big things this year Gilbert is going to have to be a major piece & most likely the starting point guard considering the only other true point guard on the roster is Gaffney.
Let it play out, the next 5-7 games should give us a better idea about of what we have for this year & where all the pieces fit.
I can’t believe there are people who have watched the first several games of the season and think AG is our best player...No, Bouknight is by far our best player. Alterique has been awful.
I can't believe there are people who watch Bouknight and think he shouldn't start, of course he should. He should touch the ball every time down the court.
And CV is actually in a slump while still rebounding and stealing. If he finds his 3 pointer again, he’s got a great weapon who does all of these. We haven’t seen a ton of these from AG. He does hit FTs which all of them should be doing.Hurley isn’t going to bench CV, CV is averaging 10 rebounds and almost 4 steals per. He’s been our best player thus far. It is far more likely Hurley goes 3 guard and starts Bouk in place of either Polley or Akok.
Maybe he's our offense off the bench? All of the guys on the starting lineup serve distinct roles that Bouknight can't really replace.
Bouknight should continue playing crunch time, but killing other teams benches in the meantime.
Bouknight is clearly our best offensive player. And should start, agreed.
But the whole anti Gilbert thing is overblown. He’s making the same mistake repeatedly and needs to be coached. He is easily the best ball handler, passer, and penetration guard on the team, and it is not close. He needs to adjust to his role, and let his shot come to him.
Ahhh...misread, my mistake. For some reason was thinking you were referring to AG. Agreed on Bouk.No, Bouknight is by far our best player. Alterique has been awful.
I can't believe there are people who watch Bouknight and think he shouldn't start, of course he should. He should touch the ball every time down the court.
I think Bouk is gonna start in Akok’s place since Akok has a gimpy knee and because he just deserves to start.I'm not sure he'd be taking CV's spot. He might take Polley's spot instead.
Can they adapt? Or can AG adapt? I think CV is really just in a shooting slump - he’s rebounding and stealing. Had a smart play at the end of Florida game that showed maturity/experience. Exactly the adaptation you’re speaking about.Holy cow a rational post on the Boneyard!
People saying to bench AG and CV are morons. They just need to adapt.
I don't mind him coming off the bench if he's subbed into the game by the first TV timeout and plays 30 minutes total.
Bench our leading scorer, leading rebounder, leading ball thief, best FT shooter (96+%) and leading assist man.
Brilliant.
Just brilliant.

His first half play was the first time we got to see what he can do for this team. Unfortunately the players did not make shots given the opportunities he set up for them.Bouknight is clearly our best offensive player. And should start, agreed.

Ray Allen was the 6th man his freshman year but he was also the leading scorer. That takes pressure off the young kid .Without a doubt he has starting skills with two college games under his belt. For myself personally I would like to see him be the 6th man for a little while before we give him the reigns to takeover. I’d like to see him adjust defensively to college ball bc he is so valuable and we don’t need him in foul trouble early on.
U still need a point guard - boukright is a shooting/scoring guard he’s not a point guard - Hurley needs to reel in AG and and make him pass more or sit. Cole next year will be the starting point guard. Boukright should start instead of Vital. Let’s see what Hurley does- we get to see what he can do with a good team- will he make the tough changes needed or play this out?
We need him for his ballhandling and we need him for his ability to break down the defense but so far this season his breaking down the defense is a net negative because he's always driving it too far/falling over/throwing up ridiculous layups from his hip.Do we have a PG tho? The most important thing for aPG is decision making. What has been AG’s greatest weakness.....
You are so wrong on Gilbert, He can't shoot or make good decisions. He has done this for the last couple of years ! He is not on a slump he just can't shoot. So lets give him 5 or 7 more games to loose to prove it is ridiculous !! We are a better team with him coming off the bench . Period .He’s played two games, lol. Let’s let this play out organically.
