Kylan Boswell - Real Talk

[Jdmarti]

It fills like bam has taken so much criticism lately, I think people  are
  Panicking a bit, I think he will be fine, he got off to a great start, than his shooting has cooled.

I belive he will bounce back, I  do believe  Lloyd  should play bradley more minutes  with Boswell, I really like Bradley's defense.

His jump shot is so damn polished. He creates space and stops on a dime. Seems like he will leave after this year and take his chances

I think Bam Bam has a very soft touch to his shot. I don't think it is a great shot mechanically. I think he is slow at getting shots up. Very slow. NBA players will not have issues defending him. He doesn't play inside the arc to the rim so I can't speak to his strength in finishing. The NBA is not the right place for him if he thinks he will waltz in there and try to be like a DeRozen and take 2 dribbles inside the arc and pull up for a jumper. He will be riding the pine so fast if he tries that. I'm hoping he ends up staying, but if he wants to be drafted in the 1st round he should stop listening to Tommy Lloyd immediately and play to the rim. NBA scouts are not interested in a kid who doesn't take it upon himself to dominate his defender and get himself Free Throws

I think he is getting a realistic amount of fair criticism. He isn't perfect and far from a finished product, but he was here last year and he allowed 2 transfers Love and Keshad to come in and take over the leadership of this team. Maybe 3 if you consider Bradley too.

That is unacceptable to me if he is playing PG. If he is going to play off the ball then I don't mind him being a beta that much. However right now he is resembling Kerr Krissa out there with 9 shots per game and going 2-8 from 3.

Either Boswell picked up some very bad habits from Kerr or this is on Tommy Lloyd. We are going to find out as time goes on, but I have pinpointed a recurring theme for now. Tommy will not let any of his ball handlers take the ball to the rim and try to finish.

Caleb Love is simply defying Tommy Lloyd because he has nothing to lose and Tommy can't bench Love because the rest of the team has regressed overall and he has no choice, but to stay with the guy who is carrying us AS WELL AS play Bradley who is trying his best to get to the rim and play a proactive style of basketball while he gets minutes and finally also KJ Lewis is out there more because he also has been "Hungrier" than Pelle who I believe is just hurt and playing through it personally, but still KJ is much hungrier than Pelle innately.

Boswell is just not playing like he is hungry. He is not playing like a Leader. He is playing a slow brand of basketball. Not enough Assists overall and it doesn't matter what his Assist to Turnover Ratio is. The whole team is pretty sloppy, but a True PG will get his 7 to 10 assists per game and turn the ball over a few times trying to make a play. It is 100% the nature of the job. Look at any/all NBA Superstars let alone Superstar PG's and you will see tons of turnovers, but you will also see tons of production. Look no further than names like Lebron, Westbrook, Harden, Curry etc and find out just how acceptable their turnovers are or have been in their primes (Russ, King of the Triple Double)

The biggest complaint I have about Boswell this season is that he does not get to the FT line. And he has the bag and the burst to get a step on his defenders, unlike Kerr. You can manufacture trips to the line when you've got that. I would love to see Boswell and Love both averaging 5+ FTA per game apiece. Wear the defenses out. Make defenders defend.

Unfortunately Tommy doesn't allow it. This is not permitted in his system. Sadly.

If I am wrong, then Boswell is incapable of it. Love does whatever he wants because he is done after this year. Boswell is acting like he has mentally checked out and doesn't care how this team finished out sadly.

Beta Boswell might be my new nickname for him. He allowed Caleb Love to come in and take over this team. Very crestfallen to see this.

Tommy needs to seriously consider benching Boswell for at least 1 game. I am not seeing a player who cares anymore.

Then if Bam Bam gets his act together, maybe I would consider him playing off the bench as the 6th man the rest of the way.

[arxpert]

And again another piss poor showing from what is now the biggest liability Kylan Krissa.

Tommy needs to do the right thing and pull the plug.

If he won't bench Boswell for 1 game, then he must bring Boswell off the bench. This team has flatlined with Boswell at PG.

This thread was created with the hope that a fire would be lit under Boswell's ass and Tommy to understand what is happening, but this is no longer a slump.

Tommy may actually be selfish enough to be tanking Boswell's value, but he still needs to coach a Winning team.

Last year, you constantly bitched about Pelle moving to the bench and now you have a new worthless rant.

No mention of KJ Lewis, who didn't play as well as Boswell?  Bam Bam shot poorly but had 5 assists with 2 turnovers and only 1 foul.

When your opponent breaks their school record for 3-pointers, you likely won't win.

Check other posts for what you are seeking. It is there. This thread is about Boswell.

Will Lloyd start Bradley and Lewis instead of Boswell and Larson , to send a message? Stand by

[arxpert]

I'm going to try something different tonight.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU --->

Kylan Boswell is a 90% Free Throw Shooter.

We are in Game 14 Tonight. Through 13 Games, our POINT GUARD and "LEADER" has 10 total Free Throw Attempts and Made 9 of them.

I am actually starting to think this is an outlier. Boswell may be a 70% FT Shooter for all we really know in VOLUME.

10 Free Throw Attempts in 13 Games? That is just isn't Arizona Material from a "PGU" standpoint.

If this doesn't change tonight, Bench the kid Tommy. I hope Tommy will call himself and his system out. It's despicable.

Now for the Magic...

Calling it out PREFLOP Tonight.... I am predicting no less than 6 to 8 Free Throw Attempts from Boswell in a 20pt+ Scoring Effort.

Tommy lives in fear. Scared to do anything his Dad Mark Few wouldn't do.

Scared if he benches Boswell that he will transfer out for NIL because he isn't a Power 5 level PG?
Scared Boswell will go Pro?? That can't be a valid fear.

Let's see if I can reverse this curse as I put this once storied program that has completely fallen off the wagon over the last few weeks on my back.
