As longtime fringe NBA player at this point, my read on Bouyea is that he is basically a finished product as a third point guard in an NBA rotation. He has a high floor in that he knows how to play and won\u2019t negatively impact the team; however, he has a low ceiling because of his limited physical attributes. Clearly, he sits between the level of the NBA and the G League, where he has career averages of 17.7 PPG, 5.9 APG, and 5.0 RPG.<\/p>\n
As far as Jamaree\u2019s chances of getting playing time go, my thoughts are similar to what I wrote about Mark Sears: there would have to be injuries. That said, one part of Bouyea\u2019s game that, if it becomes elite, could give him a leg up is his three-ball. In the G League, he\u2019s a career 36.2% shooter on decent volume, but shot a blistering 42.1% after coming over to the Wisconsin Herd midway through last season. If he can always stay above 40% from deep, that would make him much harder to ignore.<\/p>\n
The other element that Jamaree would need to succeed as a small guard is learning how to guard 94 feet and being a bulldog at all times on defence. To be fair, I don\u2019t feel as if I\u2019ve watched him enough throughout his career to know if this is even a weakness of his, but I just wanted to mention that. Small guards who cannot impact the defensive side of the floor are basically unplayable unless they are offensive dynamos, the way Dame, for example, has been throughout his career.<\/p>\n
What do you make of Bouyea? How does he compare to a guy like Mark Sears or even some of the guards on standard contracts? Let us know in the comments and the gut check.
