hawkins a better pro than bouknight?

[Ratso]

he’s coachable and great 3mediocre D guy
and bouk has been lighting it up the past few games.

thoughts?

Let’s root for them both. Bouk can still be very good.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Very different. Bouk’s slashing ability was great, and Hawk’s shooting is off the charts. Both lack(ed) where the other excelled. Hawk is a better defender though.

Bouk: higher ceiling
Hawk: higher floor

There is room on every team in the league for a low-usage elite shooter and defender.

Bouk's playstyle is very high usage. Not every team really needs a player like Bouk. Those tough iso shots are going to the superstars, not a g league star.

 

[wheelerdog]

Yes.

Nah hawk higher ceiling with athletic ability. He just has to improve his strength and handle. Bouknight will always just be a volume shooter who can drive. He will never have that killer shot that will make him great.

Let's hope Hawk is a better pro than Bouk.

Let's hope Hawk is a better pro than Bouk.

bouk is still young and has potential but i think hawkins has the 3 point shooting game that will light up the nba, I dont know who to compare him to. I have hopes he can be ray allen greatness though

Hawkins has a great attitude and is coachable. To me, Bouk always seemed like his own worst enemy- a guy that didn’t fully buy in and and commit himself to the team. Hawkins is a guy who would dive for loose balls, Bouk maybe not.

Bouk hurt his arm diving for a loose ball. How quickly we forget.

 

[Jbirdp5]

Hawk seems to embrace the grind and not take his talent for granted. Bouk has proven neither of those two things.

 

[AdamaNation]

Hawk will be seen as the mist prolific shooter in the class. May see movement for him.

 

[auror]

Love Bouk but it'll be hard not to be.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Bouk always had poor poor body language, hope he can figure it out.

 

[Ratso]

good looking 3 tho

Hey, I'll always pull for Bouk. Even so, Hawk seems to be more focused on building his game to me. Granted, I've lost track of JB since he went pro. Like others have said, it's not too late for him.

 

[CTPride]

I really thought Bouk had the potential to be a star. I still think in a perfect world, Bouk has the higher ceiling and skills to be a superstar. Hawk has the potential to be a very very good player, but maybe not the potential that Bouk has/had.

 

[noeynox]

I was just commenting on the suggestion that Bouk would may not be type to dive for loose balls when he clearly injured his elbow pretty good doing just that. @Waquoit

 

[storrsroars]

I predict Hawk will not spend a moment in G league.

 

[Kenny11]

Bouk will likely get one more chance next season in the nba. He ruined his chances with his behavior, decisions and habits his first 2 years. He can’t afford to mess up again but he might do it anyway. Hawkins is a different type of guy. He will make the best of his talent and should at least carve out an nba role

 

[HuskyHoosier]

And not only did he come back in that same game and serve as a decoy for polley going off, he finished the year out and came back even though he was a probable lotto pick at that time.

Hawk can’t create his own shot. At least Bouk could make an open 3, in theory anyway.

 

[willie99]

Hawk did a lot more in college. He can be a real scoring threat and actually plays solid D

I hope Bouk finds his footing. Pulling for the kid

how did that work out 1st round? clowned by maryland?
