Every winner has a star, a focal point. Someone has to score the basketball. In Storrs, Connecticut, that role is filled by a 6-foot-5 guard from Brooklyn, New York – James Bouknight.
“This may be more of a team where obviously James has a chance to be a dynamic player,” UConn men’s basketball head coach Dan Hurley said after the team’s first practice of the season Friday.
Now that Christian Vital has graduated and signed overseas, the sophomore figures to be the leading scorer on the team. He is a projected first rounder in the 2021 NBA Draft, according to ESPN.
