Boogie Fland, Projected Top 10 Pick in the 2025 NBA Draft: "There is Room for Improvement in All Aspects"

The Arkansas Razorbacks faced the Miami Hurricanes last night in the NCAA. The standout figure of the game was Boogie Fland, a kind of scoring combo guard with great 3-point percentages. He scored the last 7 points for the team to finish the game with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 of 9 from beyond the arc. After the game, the 18-year-old player gave an interview for HoopsHype. He is expected to be Top 10 in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft this summer.

7 points to close the game

I mean, they were showing a "hot hedging" defense. So just moving the ball, passing from side to side, recovering it, and then executing at the end. That's all I can do, try to secure the win for my team.

Confidence

I mean, it shows what we are capable of, what we can become. We fell out of the Top 25, but we are trying to get back in and stay focused as a team.

Changing gears during the game

Spirit, intensity, just ramp it up. When we're ahead, have that mutual love, and try to find our way. It's still early in the season, we're trying to get better every day, game by game.

The comeback

Just keep going, basketball is a game of runs. They will have runs, and they definitely did in the first half. It's just about coming back in the second half with more intensity, more spirit, and keep going throughout the whole game.

Playing in New York or Miami?

As you said, playing in New York, my hometown, coming out with a win there. I won't change anything, won't do much. Just play the game and enjoy what we do.

Efficiency and impact

I mean, that's basketball. Basketball is a team sport. You can't do it alone; it's about trusting the people on the court. Sticking with them is what we do. Staying with the team.

Lack of height disadvantage

It's a mindset thing. I've been doing this all my life. This is what I have to work with. Not planning anything special, just gotta do it for the team. It's the only thing we can do.

Offense

It's execution. Keeping form, following through with the shot. It's the little details you need to tweak to perfect the shot. Just feel like I need to keep at it.

The trio with DJ Wagner and Johnell Davis

Definitely, the season is long. We're trying to find our rhythm. This is game number eight. It's a long season, I feel like we're just scratching the surface. Staying confident out there. When shots aren't falling, what else can you do? Just keep shooting.

High-intensity situations

Of course, I feel like teams that go through these situations go far in the March Madness Tournament, and I feel that's what we want to do.

Adapting to the level and growth

Just keep moving forward. Every game is a tough game. You have to face it with the same intensity, the same spirit. You have to prepare for every game. If you have a bad game, you have to move on. It's a long season. Keep working.

Recovering from losses

Definitely, I don't get down. I feel like the loss against Illinois was like a wake-up call for us. I feel like we were a bit relaxed at the start. They came out more focused, more hungry than us. They were hungrier, and that woke us up.

Ability to improve

I feel like there's room for improvement in all aspects. Now that I'm in college, it's about making the right decisions, involving everyone, being a leader. I feel like I need to take on more of that leadership role, especially being a freshman and having the role of point guard on a big team.
