Which UConn guards will step up with James Bouknight declared for the NBA Draft?
This summer, rather than working with James Bouknight in person, UConns coaching staff often has been video calling the guard. The UConn standout declared for the NBA Draft this spring after a two-season career with the Huskies. Coach Dan Hurley said Bouknight is looking good as he preps for his pro future. That doesnt mean he isnt missed. James is an incredible personality, Hurley told reporters Friday, which was the coachs first in-person meeting with media since March 2020. He grew into a worker and just brought a life into the building.    Bouknight was, without a doubt, the face of the UConn mens team last season. He was the Huskies leading scorer (18.7 points per game) and added a dynamic presence to both sides of the floor with show-stopping dunks and other athletic feats.
