Bouknight is something special

[Yup!]

Ever since he’s been back this team has elevated their game to another level. I enjoy watching James take command of this team. His team. This kid is a star.

Yup!

The absolute steal of that college recruiting class!

I hope he finally found his stroke from 3. Been tough on him with the injuries and COVID layoffs to get it in rhythm. I hate the phrase “he can score from three levels” but if his 3 is on I don’t know how a college player can defend him.

Bouknight’s currently at 20.2 points per game on the season.

The only other UConn sophomores to average 20+ points per game (since 1986):

Ray Allen (1994-95) - 21.1 ppg​

Richard Hamilton (1997-98) - 21.5 ppg​

Caron Butler (2001-02) - 20.3 ppg​

Yeah, I’d say he’s pretty special.

I think you mentioned this in regards to Gaff but it applies to Bouk(amongst others) too: Between Covid and injuries James hasn’t had a normal season to develop. Granted, he doesn’t really need to ‘develop’ but imagine what he would be doing without all the stoppages. Kid’s a baller to the highest degree.

If he didn't get hurt, he would be in the First Team All-American conversation IMO.

Bouk up to 29 minutes yesterday. In crunch time tourney games I think he plays 35.

He's ok

I think it's closer to 32- two separate two minute breaks. One around 14 minutes and bring him back in after the under 12 min TO.

Take him out around 5-6 min mark and bring him in at the under 4.
