Ryan Boatright, PG , UCONN

Height: 6′ 0″

Weight: 175 pounds

Wingspan: 6’0.5″

Vertical: 41-inches

Player Overview: After playing four seasons in Connecticut under Former-NBA player Kevin Ollie, Boatright enters into the draft as an NBA-ready guard with a great combination of reliability, versatility, and speed. As a senior at UConn, he shot 42.3 percent from the floor. He also hit 86 of 209 three-point attempts – by far the best percentage (41.6%) of his four years in Connecticut. With his size, there will always be questions as to whether he can finish from inside the paint (where he only converted 45.8% of his shots). With a combination of speed, experience, and athleticism, Boatright hopes to hear his name called on draft day despite the concerns from scouts around the league.

From the archive. The filing above went up on 15 June 2015. It ran at that length on the day — the desk posted what it had and moved on — and it has not been padded out since, because rewriting an old note to make it look substantial is the one thing an archive must not do.

The desk it belongs to is Nets — 130 pieces, oldest to newest. A single filing out of that many is a sentence out of a paragraph, and the desk is where the paragraph is.

It is one of 95 pieces the desk filed across 2014-15. The season pages in the archive put them back in order, which is the order they were written to be read in.

Why keep it at all, given the length. Because the address still receives readers — out of a search, out of a link in somebody else’s writing, out of a bookmark — and answering them with a redirect to the front page is worse than answering them with the short thing they actually asked for. Every address the old site had was kept when this one was re-set.
