We really need to limit Bouknight's minutes..

[coachn]

We should be 6-0 right now so don't get too giddy.

Let Bouknight play within the system the way he is so unselfishly doing now. We have a 10 man team let's keep it that way

 

[jibsey]

If he plays him 40 minutes he scores 30 and bye bye. I like him off the bench.

If he plays him 40 minutes he scores 30

With about 20 boards and 7 assists.

I’m definitely in the minority, but I like seeing kids leave early for us. Shows we can recruit/develop talent like the good ‘ol days.

Bad idea if the Huskies can't replace that talent. This ain't Kentucky or UNC.

God Shamgod. Give Bouk 2 years to mature.

Btw, Jimmy Buckets is 16/22 (!!!) from the field through his first 3 games.

I remember Antric Klaiber missing his first 19 shots one year.

Didn't Kirk King hit 20 fg's in a row? And Hilton might have gotten close..

Devin Booker potential

Don't think he's quite the shooter Booker is

 

[SwingDog]

Who knows? Maybe he'll buy into what's happening at UConn and want to stick around for a few years like Kemba and pursue the collective goal of taking this program to the high stature it once had. There are some student athletes who see the college experience as not just a ticket to the NBA but as important for personal as well as athletic development. We'll see what happens.

LOL ESPN already pumping him, just received a George Gervin comparison.

I think I beat em to the punch. See "Bougknight - Jelly Fam" thread (I know spelling) posted right after his finger roll to end the half.

I told you he was going to average 15 a game and you pretty much laughed at me...he’s been doing that already and playing about half the game. He could easily get 20 per game if we needed him to.

The kid is sensational and is averaging 13.5 points per game in under 19 minutes per game. I think Hurley will use him more. Heck, he may be starting soon. If that happens, he should average even more than you said. Props to you for being ahead on seeing just how good he is.

Bouknight is a special talent. He scored his 15 points yesterday in every way possible. He had a putback, old fashioned 3 point play, reverse layup, a 3, free throws, and a dunk off a rebound of his own missed shot...just an amazing array of offensive ability. The old fashioned 3 point play and the dunk were plays that very few guys could make. Enjoy him while he's here.
