James Bouknight led Charlotte with 28 points (11-for-21 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and four 3-pointers in an 89-83 loss to New Orleans on Thursday.
After struggling through his first two seasons, Bouknight got off to a slow start this summer. He had a solid finish to the regular season after Charlotte pulled the plug, but this was the first good game that he’s had this summer. Perhaps it’s not time to write him off completely, but aside from this game, Bouknight hasn’t given us much reason for optimism.
