nothing he has shown basketball-wise would lead me to believe that. Monk showed more in his first two years, and A LOT more in year 3 and 4, just to become a 14ppg scorer this season and last.

I don't think he's long for this league if he doesn't improve by a massive amount between now and the end of next season. I never once felt that way about Monk.

Agreed. For all of his faults Monk looked twice the player of Bouknight at the same stages of their careers so far.

Bouknight does not at all look like an NBA player so far.

Bouk has the worst body language of any pro player I've ever seen. He's on par with theCollege kids on Netflix's show last chance playing for coach Mosley and East LA community college.

Funny story about that show. Season 2, one of the kids was talking to coach about how he's gotta get to D1 so he can go pro and get paid. He said "they giving contracts to anybody. They gave Kelly oubre 14 million a year." I legit LOLed.

I am watching the Swarm VS Knicks game. The knicks signed one of my sleepers in Obadiah Noel. Obadiah just hit a half court shot that might make sports center. I really wanted him bad for us when he went undrafted.

Tyshon looks uninterested out there. Kinda hard to maintain interest in the G league. Bouk looks like he doesn't want to be there lol

I think Hornets are trying to humble Bouknight not even starting him in the Gleague.

Ready for him to be the next Kevin Porter, traded for peanuts for acting out and then balling out for someone else in 6 months haha.

Our organization doesn't know how to figure him out, clearly a talented player who produced at highest level in college.

given what we've seen basketball-wise, I'm not worried about him balling out for anyone else for a couple years... he's so far away from being useful. At least Porter showed flashes in Cleveland. Bouknight has had like 2 good games in his career

I didn't see the game yesterday, but it looks like he came off the bench again, but at least this time he played 30 minutes. Looks like Simmons got hurt which opened up some playing time for him. But, he shot a horrendous 8 for 25 from the field in a blowout loss.

I'm actually watching the game again right now. I was surprised I thought I overlooked Jaylen Sims but then I realize I think he was injured and that maybe why. I am happy we have him

I wonder if we can trade G league players? If so I want to trade Bouk for either - Obadiah Noel, Jaquorie Mcglothin, London Johnson.

Obadiah Noel and London Johnson can be franchise PG's imo. Especially Obadiah. If we can move bouk and or Kai for either that would be great.

Is he shooting sub 40% for the year in the G League? He must be close. This guy is an obvious one contract out.

Woo hoo! Bouk, Kai and theo all back with swarm. Looking forward to watching the next storm game. When our young guys are playing It's more interesting than the Hornets.

Does bouk make it to starting lineup this time?

Read on Twitter


Thought I would share a thread with video analysis with both good/bad clips from last night's Swarm game which some might find useful. I focused almost entirely on Bouk/Kai, worth checking out.
