Man that sharife shot looks *funky*... I really don't care how a player's form looks up top if it's going in, but when he gets set he isn't balanced at all. The way his body moves when he shoots just looks unnatural. Not saying I'm out on him tho. Have to watch more footage.

I wouldn't use a players shooting in practice to judge how good or bad of a shooter he'll be in the NBA.

E.Kanter, M.Robinson, Melo's boy DSJ and many other non shooters could hit multiple 3 point shots in a row in practice, but it's a whole other thing to hit them in games.

His point still stands. Bouk is a better shooter flat out, there is no argument. Also, he shoots a lot of off the dribble pull ups so while he may never become an efficient outside shooter by percentages, he's still going to be plenty effective pulling up from outside. The value in his abilities is that he's a triple threat scorer, so as long as he can be effective in the mid range and getting to the basket he is going to be an offensive weapon. Similar to a Devin Booker. Now can he function as a high usage ball handler on the next level like Booker has proven to be, that remains to be seen, but his skill set suggests he should have no problem so it's up to how he understands the game and how hard he works to keep getting better that will determine how good he becomes on the next level.

No because everyone is aware he is nice. I’ve said this for weeks, and I stand by it I doubt he gets out the top 10.

Keon Johnson or Moody would be be better PG/Kawhi/Mitchell prospects because no one is talking about them in spite them having a lot of potential.

PG, Kawhi and Mitchell were all lottery picks. everyone knew they were nice too.

PG was #10 in the lottery Mitchell and Kawhi were all later. I would say Bouknight could go 7 or 8. With 8 being a real strong option because the Magic will likely draft a future SF at 5, and just be looking to get shooting at 8.

If they come away with Kuminga and Bouknight they accomplished their goal when they traded all their vets away.

I'm actually shocked Bouknight is becoming this board's consensus. He's usually the antithesis of who this board lusts after lol
