Kylan Boswell

[dovecanyoncat]

18 year old sophomore which we will hear over and over again next year

I dont think so but why hate on the broadcast bring it up. It is interesting and noteworthy


Every game does not have the same audience so no harm in mentioning it every game

Since you're the forum twat I'll play grammar pedant for the nonce: every game does not = no game does. What you mean to say is: not every game does. It comes down to whether you're modifying a noun or a verb.

If you weren't such a fucking shrew it wouldn't matter, but since you're put upon by everything this should be a mouthful of mother's milk for you.

He's under 19 years of age? I never knew that...

Don’t worry, you’ll get reminded about 47 times during the season just in case you forget.

He's kind of a tank.

He's a tank.

Fixed it for you

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Hey Indy, you going to Madison next year for the game?

[IndianaZonaFan]

Hey Indy, you going to Madison next year for the game?

Probably not. Kids always have too much going on. Plus on just outside of Louisville KY, and that’s about 6 and a half to 7 hour drive for me. Nothing else near madison I care to see.

He may not!

[KaibabKat]

18 year old Boswell = 18 year old Bibby.

[84Cat]

Too bad Cody went to the Buffs. We could have had 2 players on that team and Boswell will have some of the highest minutes played this year

He may not!

Love and Bradley will need the maturity to fit in where and when they can contribute, just like last season’s transfers, or this will be a difficult season…

Yet, ESPN doesn't have him as a starter for Arizona next year...

[Beachcat97]

One gets the impression that, at ESPN, the NBA people and the college hoops people rarely interact.

[IndianaZonaFan]

Watched a little of the game against china and saw Cody Williams air ball 2 wide open 3s

[KaibabKat]

Kylan stunk up the joint against China - only USA player with a negative +/-. Was he sick?

[IndianaZonaFan]

Looked like coaching. Everyone was playing 1 on 1. Kylan got a good amount of his shots blocked inside by a help defender and nobody else moving..just standing around on perimeter.

[TucsonCat]

Looked like coaching. Everyone was playing 1 on 1. Kylan got a good amount of his shots blocked inside by a help defender and nobody else moving..just standing around on perimeter.

This US team is borderline unwatchable. Team-centric players are going to struggle in this tournament (see Boswell and Williams) because there is literally no offense being run. The players all seem to want to iso every single time down the floor. Honestly, if there have been more than a handful of possessions, in this entire tournament, that had more than 3 passes on the offensive end, I would be astounded. And to compound things, the players chosen for this team aren’t exactly snipers. The scoring droughts have been glaring! Poor shooting + poor ball movement = extremely ugly basketball. I have a very hard time seeing this team make it beyond the semifinals. Boyle has to be one of the worst offensive tacticians that I have ever seen. Awful to have such a mediocre coach representing our great country!

On the flip side, watch the Serbian team, with Borovicanin, and you see a team that is very connected. They aren’t very athletic, but they are constantly moving, and mixing drives to the basket with kick outs to the three point line. Their lack of athleticism may catch up with them at some point, but it would not shock me at all if they cut down the nets, due to their lack of scoring droughts, and their intelligent, active, team-oriented way of playing the game.

[Merkin]

Down goes USA. Boswell didn't look all that good in the 2nd half, and don't think he was even on the floor the last minute.

[EastCoastCat]

Nobody cares. It’s a meaningless tournament and at least Kylan got some good International experience.

Need him now to focus on Arizona and assimilating with his new teammates.

[KillerKlown]

USA basketball doesn't care. This is what you get when you hire a literal skin infection as your head coach.

[TheCat]

Anytime you rep your country and come up short it must hurt. Keep fighting Kylan.

[Merkin]

Only watched half of the France game, but this seems pretty brutal.

[pc in NM]

Only watched half of the France game, but this seems pretty brutal.

Good thing CTL doesn't rely on those crappy American basketball players...

[Dave]

The expectations for Boswell were getting a little out of hand. Maybe this will turn out to be a good thing.

[KaibabKat]

Cannot sugarcoat it. Very disappointing (and completely unexpected) seven game showing by Boswell. Least efficient player on the USA team. Not going to be a starter at Arizona with that kind of play.

[Merkin]

Not going to be a starter at Arizona with that kind of play.

Maybe they know something after all.

[arizonawildcats]

Tommy will figure it out. Boz got some good experience which will only help him and the team this season.

[TucsonCat]

I wouldn’t take away much of anything from this tournament. He, along with the rest of the team, was not put in much of a position to succeed. The only guys who looked semi-decent were those nearest the basket sweeping up the garbage and putting back dunks/layups, because of all the bricks that were being thrown up by the US shooters, who all seemed to decide that this was and And-1 audition. Also, Kylan suffered a slight injury at the tail end of the group stage, which I believe had a greater impact on his mobility than expected, hence his drop off defensively in the knockout stages. He got some experience going up against disciplined teams (he won’t face many teams that disciplined during the college season), and now he gets to rest a bit and get back to being healthy. Not to mention, returning to a coaching staff that understands how to utilize his skill set! Trust me, he’ll be one of the major reasons for our success this year.

[SunnyAZ]

The expectations for Boswell were getting a little out of hand. Maybe this will turn out to be a good thing.

correct. i saw a mock draft with him going 14th like where do ppl see a lottery pick in kylan? i have always thought he was a mediocre passer for a pg. i remember when i first saw we were recruiting him, kj lewis and cody williams. kylan was the highest ranked followed by kj then cody. but that was the exact opposite order i wanted them.

ppl saying stuff like it is going to be kylan's team or he is going to be the best player on the team. but to me there is very little chance he is better than ballo or pelle. and caleb is the wildcard.

[arizonawildcats]

[arizonawildcats]

[EastCoastCat]

Last night I saw this hilarious video of Kylan losing at pool at my fraternity house.

[Chicat]

[KaibabKat]

Just a hunch - it won't be his last POW award this season.

[EastCoastCat]

It won’t be the last one he wins.

[TheCat]

He went from not starting to player of the week in 3 posts. Think we should just lay back and watch a bit of the season.

[84Cat]

Haha, Bam bam having some fun

[EastCoastCat]

Funny now…not then.

[UAEebs86]

Funny now…not then.

Too soon

[dovecanyoncat]

Good to see irony and a sense of history in such a youngster. Did y'all know he's just 18?

[Merkin]

Funny now…not then.

Too soon

Way too soon. Never can beat Duke enough for that.

[Frybry02]

He needs to get his confidence back. Passed up too many shots. He has to punish teams for going under the screen.
