Bouknight isn't going to get another contract

I liked Bouknight out of college. I thought he had serious potential.

What he has become is disappointing to say the least.

First and foremost, I hope he gets his life together.

You know.... despite being a mod, you know Howard outranks you right? The driver of our Bouknight train?

Watching probably. I hope the whole team come and support Jett, AB, Caleb, and Kevon.

not even close,but that was already predictable tbh.

The hype he is getting is nuts and frankly unfair. He is very light kid that will prob take years to develop his strength. He also played in a lesser league that was not even a top league so the change to the NBA will be drastic and will need time. He has skill but he is a project and the hype makes it seem like he is ready to take over the league in day one and that's not realistic. I think of Giannis, it took him years in the NBA to become Giannis.

Could be wrong but I also believe he is partnering with the nba on the in season tournament which will be announced after the game.

amen Thompson looked good in this environment....1 game but that whole "ote competition" argument seems to have been overblown so far

Whole Victor thing is viewed through wrong perspective.

He is best defensive prospect since i have no clue, Wilt, but his offense is very raw and he tends to take idiotic jumpshots ( fadaway 2s ) .

People simply need to grasp reality of his hype, he IS one of best prospects ever, but his offense will come along over time, for time being, in first 2-3 years he will walk into nba and instantlly become top 10 defender. By year 4 he will probably be distant best defender in nba. But offense has to come along. If Pop is around for next year or two, i have no worries about his offensive game. Guy can easly average 15 ppg by just getting rebounds and dunking off leak in pick&roll.

Last night guy had 5 blocks, cool. But also him just existing there scared all other players from even attemping layups.

In games it's impossible to get feeling how tall Victor is. I saw Marjanovic in person and i legit was scred of that man. Victor is taller. :crazy:

I can't imagine how basketball guard standing at his 6'2-6'3 feels going at rim knowing there is 7'5 person with 15 feet wingspan lurking.
