Bouknight can do a little bit of everything.

I also think DJ Carton is going to be a steal. His ability to push the pace is going to helpful.

Down 21-17 after 1.

Bouknight leading the way with 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 block

Nick Richards looks like Bambi on ice. Footwork is terrible.

1st quarter is over and Blazers lead Hornets 21-17. 

A few 1st quarter observations: 

Kai Jones can push the ball up the floor as a 4, he crashes the glass, plays hard. Definitely has potential. 

James Bouknight is super athletic. Has really good vision. Shot needs some work.

Well… it’s easy to tell which team has a bunch of former NBA players on it.

[MillionDollarCam]

Bouknight and Jones are both going to be really solid.

Bouknight has some Lillard in his game. He was compared to Devin Booker a bit but he’s a much better iso player and distributor of the ball.

[MillionDollarCam]

Hornets down 42-34 at half. Kai Jones and James Bouknight leading the way.

Jones - 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block

Bouknight - 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block

Not a whole lot going on from anyone else.

1 minute ago, My Chuck Dont Matter said:

Kai looks ready to play. Do not see any rawness in his game.

Agreed. And with LaMelo he can just hang out in the paint and catch lobs.

[MillionDollarCam]

Would have to assume Thor isn’t getting minutes since he just started practicing a day ago.

Halftime. Hornets trail 42-34. Thoughts: -Bouknight great vision as a passer we didn't see much at UConn -Lewis very pesky defensively -Jones has a long way to go -Gelo plays hard. Stroke looks good too. -Riller great getting into the paint, needs to be more of a threat tho
