James Bouknight
In recent weeks, the stock of James Bouknight continues to rise ahead of the 2021 NBA Draft. The sophomore guard out of UConn put together a stellar resume in his two years in college.
In his final year at UConn, Bouknight accrued 18.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
His ability to score at all three levels of the floor is the reason why his stock is rising quickly in the pre-draft process. Teams have been impressed with his combination of explosion both athletically and in the talent department.
Bouknight could improve as a playmaker and he could bolster his efficiency from three-point range. But the pieces are definitely there for Bouknight to evolve into a talented guard at the NBA level.

The scoring ability, athleticism, and defensive prowess of Bouknight makes him an intriguing target for plenty of teams. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a team trade inside the top six to acquire Bouknight.
