[...] guard Kenny Boynton has 1,927 points in a Florida uniform, but he has had to work very hard for every point lately. “Guys project how a guy is playing or not playing based on whether or not the ball is going in [...]

@ Joel Roth, Young is getting 7.1 shots a game; it’s extremely hard to score 15-20 points with just that many shots in high school, college or the NBA. The guy is very unselfish always passing the ball to our 5 or 6, 3 point shooters. Mike and Kenny are very aggressive in shooting the ball; Murphy has tons of trouble getting him the ball in the post. Sometimes my fav player Scottie dribbles a little too much.

The only games the other teams D let him go one on one and cover our perimeter guys instead. He went 7-10 from the field in one of those games. Some………………A LOT of you people really don’t know the game of basketball. I understand giving an opinion but to say something as a blanket answer for everything is absolutely ignorant.

Pat Young doesn’t get the shots to score that many points, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

Now that is a true blanket statement.

if UF lets boynton take late 3′s–big mistake. He can’t play in the clutch

Sometimes shots fall, sometimes they don’t. Honestly, I can’t remember any Gator who has shot particularly well at Knoxville. Maybe Alex Tyus a couple of years ago in our only win up there. I agree that KB should attack the basket with more ferocity. He seems to be a little shaky lately but he has been making good passes to set up teammates. It is frustrating to be so close and then lose in the final minutes.

That was funny but I Goggled the law of probability and there sure were a lot of results addressing it. I’m just saying. He is not in truth a good NBA prospect but he seems to play better in the tournament – hopefully that will happen again this year because we need him.

Since Dec., I’ve been thinking Boyton is a repeat Nelson in the back of my mind. After the UT game, it’s now in the front of my mind. This blog validates my thoughts. KB’s future in hoops wil be predicated on his ability to finish out this season as The MAN on UF’s team. All the other Boys have been consistent, if not injured, even the oft times erratic Rosario, while KB has been almost unpredictable. I wish KB the best, win or lose, hit or miss. The dude has given a ton of effort to our basketball program, and no matter what happens from here on out, he should be remembered as a great edition to Florida Basketball. Props to you, Kenny! ’84

I am worried about everything else, but Boynton’s scoring. The inability to score inside late in games, free throws, rebounding, and staying healthy are bigger issues to me. Shooters have slumps, always have, always will. This team has the ability to do good, maybe great things if we become more consistent in all areas of the game. You will likely not see a Gator player average 15-20 per game under Donovan, and that is a very good thing. We are close to having all 5 starters averaging in double figures, which is magical. The last time that happened, we were cutting down the nets, twice… Go Gators!

From last year to this year Boynton’s scoring is down, his shooting percentages are down. His assists, assist/turnover ratio and rebounding are all up. He’s trying (maybe too hard) to become a more rounded player for the NBA draft.

Kenny only scored 2 points more the I did against Tennessee.

I think Kenny has a confidence problem right now. Yes, his form is not good, and is probably gonna keep him from being drafted by the NBA. But he’s had better shooting seasons with similar form. He is a very streaky shooter, and it’s not falling right now. We need him to get his shot back in March if we’re to go deep into the tourney.
