NBA Summer League

Bouk played well on offense when he asserted himself. The Hornets experimented with Nick Smith Jr at point, and he clearly doesn’t have any interest in playing that role. Hoping in future games they let Bouk handle the ball more.

Agreed, Bouk wasn't dominant but he looked very solid. Brandon Miller and Nick Smith played the most minutes and both stunk it up.

Bouk looked ok.. I was hoping for a bit more hustle & effort out of a guy fighting for his NBA career. All the offensive talent in the world but it really seems like his energy just isn't one of an NBA player.

a 3rd year/former lottery pick like Bouk is supposed to be out there dominating and separating himself

Only saw highlights and every one of them had #2 standing around the 3 point line watching guys shoot and/or go to the basket. Not one of them did he even think of crashing the boards or doing anything aggressive without the ball. Sorry don’t think this one will change much.
 
Bouk actually playing defense and hitting open shots and acting like a professional is his path to a second contract. His role in the NBA will never be as an alpha - I guess he could be a second unit gunner but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him out of the league sooner than later. I think he is more immature than anything so more humbling could be good for him long term. Imagine him with Dre’s mindset and maturity level. Or realistically, the mindset of basically every other player Hurley has recruited.

i just don’t understand the Nick Smith point guard decision. He’s clearly worse at getting downhill than Bouk, but might be a better shooter. Instead they’re mostly placing Bouk in the corner as a spacer. Hope these roles get switched around.

Agree that he was listless and seemed disinterested...one has to wonder of his mental state... Why is he there if he is not giving his all to prove that he belongs playing at least as a go-to sub?

I watched a little of it. Bouk standing in the corner for most of the offensive possessions while I tuned in. The Hornets run no offense. I had to change the channel

We already know he can dominate summer league or the g league. Shooting in regular season is his ticket to the big second contract IMO.

His chance at a big second contract is laugh out loud ridiculous. What GM would consider a contract for a dude that has played barely 40 pro games? He has shown nothing. Lots of dudes can score in hte G League or the summer league - that is proven. Bouk is playing for his career not a big second year contract.

I never said it was likely. But regular season play is the only thing that will keep him in the league.

Inconsistent on court play with off court issues is not a good combo. The one thing he has going for him is everyone who leaves Charlotte seems to be productive on their next team.
 
Bouknight was looking a little better today but rolled his ankle a few minutes ago and haven't seen him since. Hopefully he gets run in the 2nd half.
 
I know Jordan Poole and Lester Quinones are very tight but it's kinda spooky how similar their play styles and mannerisms are, damn near copies of each other. I didn't think alot of Quinones at Memphis but he looks like an NBA player now, tore up the GLeague and is now killing it in SL.

Not sure why when the #2 pick was a complete no show. He has bust written all over him.

Not sure who is worse so far, Nick Smith or Miller. Both are yuck.

Really want to see Scoot play against NBA comp. I think the Hornets may have made a mistake (shocking).
