Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3853534, member: 181"] Yes, mid-February was definitely well past game 7 of year 2, but when Caron's shot 'clicked,' he was the best player in college basketball and on clear mission to carry his team to the championship. Simply because of the time of year and it being Sophomore season, Caron is who I most think of in assessing Bouknight. The only comp as a guard, with things coming on late in the season, would be Ben, who Calhoun had to push and push and push, saying that he could take over games but didn't get that he could. I wondered, "Really? Is he that good?" and then saw it, though, of course, he had Emeka. I feel no urgent need to be 'right' abouy Bouk, but completely loved watching him tonight. Adding to the enjoyment was watching at my sister's with her and her best friend at the back end of dog care there today. She's a competitive athlete who is not overly given to high enthusiasm or hype. Because of the pandemic, I haven't watched any basketball with her in some time, and she watches pro sports much more so. I treaded rather lightly in 'introducing' her to this year's team and Bouknight's narrative, including tonight's return from injury. I didn't know how much he'd play and how he'd show up. She was massively, multiply wowed, and for good reason. Because we were together, it was even more fun than last week giving her the heads up on WBB game against South Carolina, which started off sloppy and earned a blase txt about that, before she saw for herself that Bueckers is also the real thing.
