Does Bokie think he's RJ? 

Post#1 » by EFF » Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:11 pm

I like the guy..Bokie. He's got a decent shot. He can even finish at the rim. I commented before that I like the fact that he drives the ball too.

But he's always primarily been our shooter. That's his job and thats why he's here. Now he's passing up open looks trying to be a poor man's RJ.

I think he's trying to do a little too much and Frank's letting him.

To be honest I think he is overrated as a shooter and I think sometimes he can be good on the drive. In both situations he is inconsistent. I personally was hoping he was traded for an upgrade, but right now he is basically our only scoring threat off the bench. So it goes.

He's trying to become a more well-rounded player and open people's eyes in a contract year. So far things haven't worked out for him. It looks like Boki tried to add a midrange game to his style of play but he still needs more work on it...

Boki is playing for a contract???

Hell, with the way he's been stinking up the gym this season, you coulda fooled me!!

He needs to step his game UP. The team needs him to come off the bench, hit those wide open threes that he gets, and SCORE. The scoring pressure just can't be on Carter and Jefferson, they have enough on their plate! Time to play like a man Boki :nod:!!!

My problem with Boki last year: Stepping out of bounds trying to drive from near the 3 point line constantly.

My problem with Boki this year: Streaky shooting. Stupid fouls.

Are you sure you don't have Boki confused with Antione Wright? :laugh:

I wouldn't mind him driving if he didn't get blocked half the time he tries it.

Unfortunately, he's one of our best 3 point shooters. Last year he was pretty good from behind the arc. He shot about 43% from 3 and 46% total fg. His role was pretty well defined...he was mainly a spot up shooter who did well off penetration and kick outs. This year he's asked to do more and just not sure if he's capable of being that. As much as we would like him to be a Mike Miller type, I don't think he got that in him.

he needs to stop driving so much he comes up short half the time, and those fingerrolls he has are UGLY he needs to dunk that like last yr.

At this point the only thing Boki is good for is becoming cap space!!!!
