His A:T ratio doesn't accurately represent how he's handled the ball. Boat has done a great job getting lots of guys lots of open looks. Their shots just haven't been falling.

This is what he'll need to prove he's capable of. Everyone knows he can score but the players only get bigger when you get out of the summer league. He'll need to prove he can handle the ball and play the pick and roll.

Not sure if NBA will have highlights, but I recorded the games over the weekend and can have Boatright highlights up at some point this week if people are interested - let me know.

Can you upload the full games?

I wonder if RB will be a better pro than SN. He is a better athlete and with his improved shot he can definitely make an impact. It will be good so see how these two develop.

Wow, very nice comments. Copy the video of what he said and play it for recruits. Boat was very definite about how he was better prepared than others because of having a coach who played 13 years in the NBA and taught them only pro sets for the past 3 years. I hope Boat finds a way to stick....23 points and a solid all-around game certainly helps.

Shabazz is a better passer, and more of a pure PG. But Boat's athleticism is suited for an NBA style of play. I've also been very impressed with how he's progressed as a shooter. I think both will stick in the league and have nice careers. I don't think stardom is in their future, but they can be quality, productive NBA players.
 
Good comments by Ryan and great for guards looking to put UConn in their list out of HS. Glad to see he is performing with the lights on hope he makes it would be quite a feat.
 
Will be nice to see him shoot when people know he isn't the only option on the floor. Great highlight reel. No fear. Like his aggressiveness.

It's amazing comparing this interview with the Borges post game snippets we'd see 3 years ago in which he wouldn't make eye contact, would mumble responses and generally look somewhere between shy and disinterested. The man in this interview is confidently giving insightful answers with body language that screams confidence. Watching Ryan grow up has been as fun as any player we've had, best of luck to him.
 
When boatright can be a complimentary player instead the focal player, he plays so much better and you can really see how he can be an addition to an NBA team. I felt that he had to do too much last year and he struggled at times. When he could just concentrate on playing stellar defense on the opposing teams' point guard or contributing shots here and there, he plays a lot better. Hoping for the best.

Agreed. Unfortunately, he was thrusted into a position where his IQ was a little higher than everybody else's around him... He had to be our leader last year... And, it's just the UCONN way, if you look over our history... but the great part about this is all of our kids coming back now have a year (or more under their belt) and a better understanding of what it takes to represent UCONN basketball. We'll be pretty darn good this year because of it... and I hope that the Kentucky's, Duke's, UNC's, Kansas' of the world keep getting all the 5star one and done kids every year.. I think more often than not, it proves that you aren't focused on building a true college basketball legacy ... You're more about the brand than the sport we all grew up to know and love.
 
I thought posters were talking about an 'earl clark' like he was boatrights backup, not the ville guy. thats duck___ hilarious , i remember he came in the game and started taking ridiculous fadeaway long twos. nets fans hate him
 
Love how Boat has been playing, but did anyone notice that they didn't start the clock right away when tyler caught the ball? That alley shouldn't have counted and the nets should have won.
 
Nice game out of the Boatshow.

Did Shabazz not play in that game? Or is he still down with the hernia?

Is DeAndre playing for the Toronto team this yr? Any other UConn guys playing in the SL's?

Shabazz is playing for the Heat today in Orlando. He's in the starting lineup. Wasn't expecting to see him, so that was a nice surprise.
 
looks good. polished. if the heat think zoran or tj are better pg's they are drunk
 
I have watched four hours of Celtics summer league.

I am basically this guy (Murray, not Martin):

 
Any word how Bazz looked?

I didn't expect much from him after coming back from several months off due to surgery, but he looked great. Finished on the drive, some great passing and his sick handle on full display. Announcer once said "Napier going full Seth Curry now"...just drained two free throws to win the game.

Calling Bazz Seth Curry is an insult.
