Great news if it happens. Another good athlete and shooter can’t hurt. Our five deep guard line of Dennis, Shaver, Akot, Rice and now Doutrive is easily the best and deepest in the MWC.

As much as I love what Rice has done this year, Doutrive will be an upgrade defensively, should be able to shoot just as well and can create his own shot and slash. He will be an upgrade once he gets comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going in to the season, I felt his minutes would be limited this year, but he's earned his miniutes. I hope he still gets 15-20 minutes a game.

kingpotato Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I actually think that Doutrive will cut into Milner's minutes. They've been going "small ball" when Armus is out lately... if you can even call it that. Alston, Akot, Kigab, Doutrive, and either Ray J/Shaver is likely the best 5 you could put out there, and there is plenty of size in that group. It's just crazy to me that there are guys that would have started on any other Boise State team in history that have to come off the bench on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu_alum9 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If BJ Rains is correct and Doutrive is nearly the best player on the team, this is going to be exciting. Hopefully Akot and Dennis chill a bit on the three point shooting. Four dudes should be at greater than 40% when you add DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that dude is almost averaging double figures off the bench and is doing it really efficiently. He does have some limitations defensively, but also provides some good coaches son intangibles on both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His positioning on offense and defense no matter where the ball is are excellent. He lacks quickness and hops, but gets by on anticipation and good position. Where they take advantage of him is under the hoop. Kijab is similar but taller and a better athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to make our offense a lot harder to guard because you can’t keep him in front and he’s so dynamic. He can do so many things on the floor.” “He gives you another guy who can put a ton of pressure on the defense with how he gets into creases and cracks and he can really shoot too,” Rice said. “It’s just another great offensive weapon and with his athleticism I anticipate him being another great defender.” Can't wiat to see him. He was thought by many to be the gem of all the transfers. Anyone with any level of access to the team all says the same thing. He is going to be a big time player in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
