Chris Boucher Finding Success In The NBA G-League
Chris Boucher is working his way back from a knee injury he suffered as an Oregon Duck and is gaining valuable experience as a Professional.
Over the last three months, Chris Boucher has been in the Headlines for the Golden State Warriors. He did manage to get to the NBA and play in a game for one minute when the Warriors were injury-depleted last month, but Boucher used the most of the opportunity. The former Oregon Duck was not drafted but signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors following last season’s Final Four run.
Chris Boucher made his G-League Debut in January and has had several noteworthy performances. Earlier this month Boucher had a double-double in his second straight game. He is playing as a two-way forward and scored in double digits in four consecutive games. On March 2nd, against Northern Arizona, he had 24 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
He started the season averaging 10 points per game. Over the last month, his average is up to 12 points and 7 rebounds per game. He is also an assist on Defense averaging 2 blocks per game.
With the NBA G-League entering their Playoff season, there is a chance that Boucher could be called up before the NBA Regular season comes to an end. Boucher was a force in his Senior season with the Oregon Ducks before an injury during the Pac-12 Tournament ended his college career.
