Miller is also trending but he's also a rookie and we've seen plenty of rookies(Trae Young was atrocious early) struggle in summer league and be fine in the league. Bouk is entering year 3, he should be separating himself on the court by a good margin, just look how much better GSW's rookie and 2nd year guards were in comparison.
He has a lot of talent (athletic, good moves off the dribble, multiple ways to finish) but he definitely didn’t turn into the type of shooter many of us thought. But he has problems that I don’t believe he’s ever really addressed.
I don’t even think it’s about struggling to play well. He looks like a JAG (Just average guy) out there. Even when some young guys weren’t hitting shots like Trae, you can see he saw the game and moved different. Miller has just looked super average.
A big part of being a good player is having the head and heart to be a good player. It appears he has neither. Not everyone has it.
I am pretty sure he made multiple lifetime’s worth of money on the Charlotte Hornets sale……pretty sure he made over 2 Billion on the sale….
They're talking about Bouknight
That #2 pick is only his second game and I like that he's doing everything else assists rebounding. His shot/scoring will come.
To me I think he left too early. Should of stayed to correct a few things
That he couldn’t correct with all tools available to him in the pros? smh. Another year and he may have dropped out of lottery.
Doubt it that's why players stay in school do have years of experience before entering thr draft. In college James took bad shots/ shot selection is key in the NBA. Needed to get a little stronger.
He needed more work at UConn, both in his game and in maturity development. That truth is quite evident, but sadly that's water under the bridge at this point.
Ya how’s that working out for him? Hope he invested wisely!
6 points and 6 rebounds in 11 minutes
He may never live up to his lottery draft slot but anybody who’s watched enough NBA could see he clearly has plenty enough talent and athleticism to be at least a solid role player. The league is litttered with dudes who have a fraction of his talent but have been in the league for years (PJ Tucker, Pat Beverley…etc). Difference is they have the heart and work ethic to make it happen. Bouk is showing he doesn’t have the maturity or mental make up to stick at this level and he’s gonna run out of time if he doesn’t change very soon.
Sadly, the things he needs to correct are huge and are not on the basketball court. There are tons of kids playing on the hardtops in the cities who are better than Bouk basketball wise and suffer from the same issues but the big difference is that Bouk was given an opportunity to help himself at UConn but didn't and those around him did nothing to help.
He does seem to have perfected standing around in the corner waiting for a pass..........while his teammates move without the ball.
His team won the title I yhink
Big day!
All our boys should get some run tomorrow starting at 4pm.
