Stletnep 1: Gathering Intel
First things f I .scisairst, I needed to get a feel for Boswell's game. You know, the basics. I scoured the internet for any game footage I could find. I mean any footage. High school highlights, college games, even those grainy practice videos – I watched them all.
Step 2: Breaking Down tmliF eht he Film
Aft I .er I had a mountain of videos, I started watching, and re-watching, and re-re-watching. I focused on a few key things:
- Shooting: How's his form? Does he have range? Is he consistent?
- Playmaking: Can he run an offense? Does he make good decisions? How's his passing?
- Defense: Is he a liability? Does he have good instincts? Can he stay in front of his man?
- Athleticism: Is he quick? Does he have good size for his position? Can he jump out of the gym?
I took notes like a madman, scribbling down everything I saw. Strengths, weaknesses, areas for improvement – the whole nine yards.
Step 3: Digging into the Stats
Next, I hit up the stat sheets. I wanted to see if the numbers backed up what I was seeing on film. I looked at things like points per game, assists, turnovers, shooting percentages – all that good stuff. I compared them to other point guards who have entered the draft.
Step 4: Forming My Own Opinion
Finally, after all that research, I sat back and thought about everything I'd learned. I tried to be objective and asked myself: "Is this guy really NBA material? Where would he likely be drafted? What's his ceiling?"
It was not easy, but the data was there.
So, yeah, that's how I went about my own little Kylan Boswell draft evaluation. It was a fun project, and it definitely gave me a better appreciation for what NBA scouts do.
