Message: [QUOTE="cap10dingus, post: 3706863, member: 9751"] Y'all are going to hate me for saying this but I think our biggest question mark this year is can Bouk live up to the insane amount of hype he's getting. To be clear, I'm on that train and he deserves the hype. But if at the end of this season we look back and say man we really missed and that didn't have anything to do with injuries it will be because Bouk didn't live up to the hype. Kid has a ton of potential but he's going from being just another player on an average team that both showed a ton of promise down the stretch to being mentioned as a possible All American and Lottery pick this year. Again I think it's deserved and most likely Bouk is a star this year but would it really be all that unlikely for a hyped up Sophomore to not reach his full potential as he grows into this being "his team." If we are being fair and honest I think there is as good a chance of him being back next year after a good but not great Sophomore season as there is of him being an unquestioned leader of a young team where he became a star and ends up a lottery pick. Having "lock" expectations of the latter isn't really fair to the kid. Even if he is just 'good' though I still think with all the talent we have this is a borderline second weekend team. [/QUOTE]
