His training with Sasuke clearly shows he can throw Shuriken properly and what he did with the shuriken at the exams is within his ability. He simply didn't trust his own ability and used Kote just to be safe. Everything else he uses Kote for is debatable, as i've expressed my doubt about his other supposed abilities before.

It's pointless to use Rasengan on anything other than the real Naruto, as his basic clones require only mediocre levels of Taijutsu to dispose of. Naruto can not reliably hit his Rasengan, it needs to be spammed. And once fired, Naruto would not attempt to evade Vanishing Rasengan.

So Boruto does have realistic chances of defeating Naruto. I simply think that the crucial part, finding the real naruto and using Vanishing Rasengan on him, is something Boruto cannot do with enough reliability to win reliably.
