Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 3186340, member: 7415"] Best looking pure shooting guard I have seen in Storrs since Jeremy Lamb in 2011, 2012 (not to be confused with the more recent combination guards like Boatright or Jalen Adams). Seven years, it's been a while. He and Gaffney and Akok are really going to have a big impact here, starting this year. In the video that spin move to his right around the trainer at the 2:05 mark, keeping his dribble with the left hand, that was smooth. I saw Ben Gordon do that once while bringing the ball up the court in transition at say 3/4 speed, going right around a defender like they were standing still, and my father and I just looked at each other like "whoa", how did he hang on to that. Hurley is going to greenlight Bouknight; tell him to be aggressive, create, and look for his shot, pushing his confidence. I know CV is pencilled in as the probable starter, and deservedly so, especially early in the season, but JB is going to be pushing hard for that spot, and if he produces and can play defense it's going to be tough for Hurley to keep him out of the starting lineup. This kid is really talented and athletic and an excellent shooter. Great body control and BB skills allow him to score with versatility. I'm going to buy the hype on this one; I can see how good he is going to be. Really looking forward to watching him play. [/QUOTE]
