Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3373159, member: 2524"] I agree, the best thing that could happen to this team is for Bouknight to advance the way Jeremy Lamb advanced as a freshman, from a gangly talent who didn't know how to play at the college level early in the season, to a guy who could be shut down by physical defense mid-season, to an unstoppable scoring marksman late in the season. Not saying the Alterique-Bouknight pair can match Kemba-Lamb, but give a talented point guard that perimeter shooter to make outside shots and open up passing lanes, and he can make things happen. Check out some of Jeremy Lamb's games early his freshman season ([URL="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/jeremy-lamb-1/gamelog/2011/"]Jeremy Lamb 2010-11 Game Log | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com[/URL]). Early in the season he struggled: game 4, 2 points; game 5, 2 points; game 6, 2 points. As late as game 14, he scored 0 points against Texas, and game 15, 2 points against Rutgers. In late January and early February, he seemed to hit his stride and showed his scoring talent. But then teams learned how to disrupt him with physical play. He had 0 points against Louisville in mid February. Finally, in March, he turned it on for good. In the final 11 games he had double-digit points every game. [/QUOTE]
