SportsLine's Analysis Superb athlete and shot blocker who never seemed to pick up a lick of offense during his three years in college. It's his best interest to go back to school and work on that part of his game. - Tony Mejia Scouting Report While few question Boone's potential to be an athletic force in the paint at the next level, many question his commitment to that potential. Boone's career has been up and down to say the least. After averaging 5.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22 minutes per game for the 2004 national champion Huskies, Boone improved to 12.4 and 8.4, respectively, as a sophomore. Eschewing the 2005 draft for the potential of being a top-10 pick in 2006, Boone, along with the entire Connecticut squad, finished a disappointing 2005-06 season with a regional final loss to George Mason in the NCAA tournament. Boone managed just six points and four rebounds against a severely undersized George Mason frontline. This performance capped off a roller-coaster junior campaign in which Boone recorded eight double-doubles but also had 10 games in which he scored seven or fewer. There is no questioning Boone's overall athletic ability. He is a deadly weapon in transition offense, with the ability to trail the play and finish on his own or following a teammate's miss. His long arms and frame made him a menace on the defensive end, blocking 2.2 shots per game over his career; including 22 games of four or more swats. Boone's ability to block shots and run the floor unlike any other big man reminds many of Chicago's Tyson Chandler or Samuel Dalembert of the 76ers. However, Boone lacks refined offensive skills in similar style to Chandler and Dalembert. If Boone decides to keep his name in the draft, he will likely land somewhere in the mid to late first round due to his potential. (AP) Stats
