Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Bouknight found success as a scorer during his first season with the Huskies, which happened to be the final year UConn was in the American conference. After a late start to the season, Bouknight came on strong to work his way into the starting lineup. While he finished with 13.0 PPG, that was bumped up to 15.8 PPG in his 16 starts, including a 23-point effort against Cincinnati. While this landed Bouknight on the AAC All-Freshman squad, he had bigger aspirations heading into his sophomore year. Unfortunately, the pandemic and an elbow injury limited Bouknight to just 15 games, but the Huskies were a different team with him on the floor. He ended up averaging 18.7 points and 5.7 rebounds, which included a 40-point effort Dec. 2 against Creighton. Despite limited action, Bouknight still finished as a first-team All Big East selection.

Bouknight generated 35 points (10-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 39 minutes in Wednesday's 113-108 G League loss to the Rip City Remix.
ANALYSIS
Bouknight emerged from a slight slump with one of his most impressive outings of the season, but it wasn't enough for his team to avoid defeat in the first round of the G League postseason. He stood out as the Capitanes' most consistent scorer for most of the season, leading the squad with an average of 20.0 points per game. Additionally, he averaged 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.6 steals per contest across 48 games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
After a sub-par rookie season, Bouknight comes into 2022-23 with something to prove. Taken with the 11th overall pick in the 2021 draft, he was arguably the most disappointing of all the lottery picks. With a new head coach now leading the way, perhaps Bouknight can get off to a fresh start, although based on what we saw last season, managers will want to wait and see before even considering him as a viable fantasy commodity.
One of the top scorers in college basketball a year ago, Bouknight joins a Hornets team that hopes he can provide instant-offense off the bench. The UConn product has the body of a true two-guard, so he'll likely compete with Kelly Oubre and Cody Martin for minutes behind entrenched starter Terry Rozier. As a relatively inefficient scorer at UConn last season, Bouknight will have to prove he can shoot the ball more efficiently -- especially from three. But he should benefit from increased spacing and more talent around him at the NBA level. Even so, Bouknight profiles as a more effective real-life player than fantasy asset, as he doesn't project to provide much outside of points and threes.
