Yeah, very crucial to note that Bones is a noun and not a verb in this case.That's quite the thread title. Thought there was something scandalous going on for a minute.
I like bones
Bones was a composite top 100 player before he tore his meniscus last spring, he was actually the highest rated player on WeR1 at the start of the AAU season last year, ranked higher than Isaiah Wong. That injury just happened at the absolute wrong time. There would have been a lot more high major interest had he not been injured. What I like about him is that he’s a much better ball handler than our other 2 guards we’re bringing in. Also worth noting that Bouknight also had a meniscus tear, I don’t necessarily like the idea of building a team around kids who were underrecruited because of injury. Luckily we do have a phenomenal S&C coach in Sal.
I hope so - I really do because that is a need for sureHurley seems to prioritize skills a bit more than KO did. He seems to recruit guys that don’t leave you worried they can compete. Athletic guys with reasonable ball skills.
Why is this kid playing AAU right now if he is 2019?

Length and athleticism go a long way on the defensive end.He's not a great ballhandler from what I've seen. He makes decent decisions with the ball, but he's not getting to the rim much at all in the aac if he can't improve his handle.
But gaffney and bouknight aren't known for their handle either. Hurley prioritizes length and athleticism, then shooting when recruiting.

Sounds like a point guard to me.His handle is flashy, but he’s one of the few players his age who can get away with it. He has remarkable hand-eye coordination and quick hands. He even ties his shoes fast. When the ball is in his hands, it’s like it has a charge in it. The rapid pace of his dribbles is discomforting for defenders. One coach recruiting him notes that he over-dribbles on occasion, but some of that is Bones messing with his man. In WeR1’s final game of the weekend, a defender scowls as Bones works the clock near half court, repeatedly putting the ball between his legs and crossing over before finally attacking.
He excelled in Kansas City working out of ball-screen action. He can pass with either hand and was able to read the defense, hitting rollers or throwing skip passes to open shooters. “He’s one of the most terrific passers you’re ever going to see,” Griffin says. “He can score a lot of points, but boy, a lot of people make comments about how well he passes the ball and threads the needle. He can see things long before they happen on the court.”

hahaha That made me chuckle
