Have only seen him play on TV one time. You guys are putting a lot on this young mans shoulders. Hope you guys are correct on him.

I've watched him play full games about 8-9 times going back to him playing against Kahlil Whitney when he was a junior and Whitney was a senior. Wasn't even in the same realm. Boston was the better player by a mile. He has a complete scoring package. Solid athleticism, great ball handling and really good shooter, plus size for his position. He should be one of the better players weve seen under Cal. Jamal Murray level scorer.

I don't think expecting a top five player to play like one of the best players in the entire country is asking too much from a young player. The kid is elite and playing for Cal and the style of play will only help with allowing the overall skillset to show so much earlier in the season than later.

His skill is amazing and he's going to be great. But he's also going to get called for carrying/palming the ball at least twice a game in the early going until he has a chance to adjust.

For those that were worried about a “shot dip” slowing his release down and making him have a hard time getting it off against a defender....this should ease those concerns.

He does not actually dribble, it's a ball fake. I thought the same thing, too, but watched a second time and noticed.

then that’s a nasty ball fake. Got me

okay I see what he did now. He grabs the ball right before it hits the ground. So he didn’t actually dribble the first time.

honestly I think that one is too good. I don’t think college officials are good enough to notice. He would probably get called for a double tbh

Ability to create a shot reminds me of Murray. Length makes him extremely dangerous

I know some may worry about the dude's lean frame, but with a player with as much talent and overall skillset such as Boston, it won't stop the kid from scoring and being the elite group of wing players coming out of the college game. I believe the kid is going to be one of the best players in college. The kid looks like a legit stud on the court.

he looks way bouncier than i remembered. we could be seeing clear-outs at a level we’ve never seen before at uk. i still think we’ll see a lot of ddo, but the threat to step back will be as strong as the threat to drive. even askew’s step back shot is pretty sweet. in this way clarke is going to be extremely hard to defend. how can you play back with guys like boston out there? you can’t. defenses will be forced to step out. even in a zone. our guys are going to collect many fouls when they put it on the floor, and the spacing should be ideal.

It’s basically shooting practice and from information like this you say you expect a kid to be one of the best players in the country.

And people wonder why videos like this are useless. The uninformed and lunatics among us leap to unsupportable crap and think something is wrong when their silly predictions and expectations turns out to be crap.
