I think you guys are too tough on Bourgault. Last year was the worst possible situation for him. We have a team with only one other threat from the outside, no inside scoring threat, horrible ball movement, no true PG, a below average team bball IQ, etc.
You could tell he has a high basketball IQ and wants to take good shots. He was reluctant in the beginning but I got the sense that all he heard all week was "when you get it shoot it you...you need to be more aggressive." Nobody else can make them at all, so him shooting hurried shots was probably the best shot we could have hoped for.
Minutes are going to be enough toughe to find this year, but I expect him to come back as a much better player with a year of film, conditioning, and knowing what to work on.
