SI Wooden Watch: Boatright #7

[tcf15]

Boatright’s strength has always been his aggressive defense. He jams opposing guards and makes it a struggle for them to get around or over him. But the most subtle improvement in his game has been on the other end of the floor, where he’s become a much more careful ballhandler. While his usage of possessions (31.2 percent) and minutes (91.0) this season closely resemble his numbers as a sophomore (25.6 and 87.5 respectively), but his turnover rate -- a tempo-free measure of taking care of the ball -- has dropped from 19.7 as a sophomore to 15.2 now. All that the Huskies need from him now is for him to get back onto the court after he sprained his ankle on the final play of their loss to Texas on Sunday.
