James Bouknight’s UConn career is officially over. The sophomore guard will declare for the NBA Draft and hire an agent, forgoing his final two years of eligibility.
With his incredible athleticism and scoring ability, Bouknight is projected to be a lottery pick (the top 14) in most mock drafts. He averaged 15.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 43 career games at UConn while shooting 45.6 percent from the floor.
“The opportunity to play at the highest level of basketball has always been a dream of mine, and it’s an opportunity that I can’t pass up right now,” Bouknight told ESPN.
