James Bouknight

If he can stay healthy he’s an NBA all-star. They have to figure out how to fix the durability issues though. I really like him coming back, A LOT of first round locks would have opted out after an injury.

Scored an effortless 20 last night, had 10 boards as well against a Georgetown team that can defend. Kid is just too good. Some team in the lottery is going to take a shot on him even with the injury concerns.

Another efficient 24 today.

Good lord he is talented. Up to 47.1% from the field on the year.

Which players would be the ten ahead of him?

I think he goes in the 6-8 range right after the big 5 come off the board. I can see a team moving up for him.

Bouknight is guaranteed to go top10 unless something rare happens, I think he goes top8 also, I can see he top5+Keon and Barnes ahead of him, that's about it

maybe he will but he should not go ahead of guys like Moody, Franz and BJ

He’s far from guaranteed to go top 10. Come on now.

It was nice to see him get those consecutive 10 rebound games, because it seems like he goes through a lot of games without doing anything but score. Granted, he's really good at scoring - especially for not having a 3 yet.

Have you not watched him much? He averaged 6 boards per, hes the best offensive rebounding guard in the big east. Shot 35% from 3 last year but was around 40% for most of the year, just needs a larger sample size for this year. His deficiencies are durability and play making for others.

Relax, the comment on his scoring was meant as a compliment. He's obviously shot 3's poorly, but I said YET, because obviously that could change. And I said it was GOOD (that's like - the opposite of bad) to see him get those big rebounding games, because without them, he's averaging 4.75 rebounds a game - which is fine but nothing special. The offensive rebounding is fine, but most NBA teams don't even want their guards to try for them at the expense of potentially giving up transition buckets. I think he's a very good prospect - if that wasn't clear. Scoring is sorta important in basketball, and he's real good at it.

Honestly after the top 5 think he might be my favorite right now. Have to do a bit more digging but currently would like him at 6.

He looks like Barbosa.. prob not a starting guard on a decent team but a dude who can come in and just get shots and buckets

Bouknight against Seton Hall in what is essentially a playin game for the tournament in 15 minutes. He’s going to be used a ton.

James Bouknight continues to be an effortless scorer. He's tallied 20+ points in 4 of his last 5 games since returning from injury, has two double-doubles in that span, and just hit five 3-pointers today to lead a blowout win.

Not sure he'll be able to crack the top 5 in the draft, but he's got All-Star written all over him and should be off the board by 6.

This dude looks like a superstar scorer in some of these highlights. Like LaVine as his floor.

Ya, on offense he gives me alot of LaVine vibes.
