Bouknight Tonight

[ctchamps]

It's nearly impossible to have a better career than Bazz had in college these days because most incredibly talented guys are gone in a year or two. Bazz never projected great for the NBA so he stayed all 4 years and won two championships, by the end of his senior year he was clearly the best player in college bball....
James will be gone before then, with his abilities the only thing keeping him from being a possibly one in done or two and done is his 6'4 height which is a bit on the low side for an NBA 2 but it probably won't matter with his length and skills. I agree he has things basically none of the guys coming in have had in a long time for us.

should clarify: will be higher rated by majority of Boneyarders in the future.

This is the scorer we've been missing for awhile. That pump fake and jumper from the elbow was a thing of beauty

I was yelling for him to get in the game when we were struggling to score early in the first half. I'm glad he had a breakout party in the second half. So excited for him and Akok's development over the season. Both obviously have NBA potential.

Bouk has the freshest legs on the team, the most potential, we’re down a guard... I expect him to get a good amount of minutes tonight.

I think I know what you mean, but a little early say what he’s meant to the team so far. Coming off a pre season injury as a freshman and only 4 games in. He looks pretty solid. Some mice looking pieces and Adams as a little used Frosh is contributing nicely already.

What impressed me most about him was the way he moved. So effortless. The body control he had on the rebound putbacks was so impressive. You can tell he's really, really good.

I know he dealt with injuries in high school, but according to 247 he was the #66 recruit? This kid looks like he should be top 30, easy. He's one of those players you don't even have to know the game of basketball to know that he's gifted.

Watched Scottie Lewis on Florida (#7 5*) today up close and while he has some serious physical gifts for the next level, Bouknight was a more impressive basketball player.

Better than Bazz...take it easy

Well who was better as a sophomore Lamb or Bazz? Lamb easily. Bouk is better than Bazz. What Shabazz did was stay here four years, and be the kind of talented senior guard that rarely exists in the NCAA. His skill and experience made him what he was as a college player.

@fleudslipcon isn‘t wrong. Up close it was clear that Bouk was dialing his game back. On that fake, dribble, midrange, it was like the defender was in slow motion, and James just, ho, hum, casually removed him.
