i am in for the continuation of this series! 😀
You weren't lying about Nerlens Noel. Wow.
Most of your points about Jabari are irrelevant. Sure he may be the best on Duke as far as defensive rating goes, but the knock on him isn't that he "won't be able to defend at the NBA level," it's that he doesn't show any defensive prowess whatsoever. Carmelo Anthony was the best defender on his Syracuse team, similar to Jabari in both body size and strength, yet he turned out to be one of the worst defenders in the NBA.
DID YOU KNOW
McDermott's bad athleticism comes from his slow feet and lateral movement.That's why many think he won't be able to guard NBA forwards well, along with his size and strength.
coach did you know that your work is good ???
khem birch smh went undrafted
_Pros and mega fans can analyze all they want but the truth you just never know when a good college player is going to be a good NBA player
did u know?
Are Embiid and Nerlens going to be the next Twin Towers? Sampson & Olajuwon didn't work out, but then there's Duncan & Robinson- but hell, you can have a Triple Towers snail-pace in transition team and Duncan will still get you a title.
There is no basketball god.there's only one God and it's God himself!!!!!
you gonna make a breakdown of this year's Draft? my thoughts so far is…
best passer(Kyle Anderson) on a best passing team(Spurs)? like wow!
Also maybe I'm not an NBA scout but there's no way nerlens noel is better than the top 5 players in this Draft. Extremely limited offensively and as thin as a rain. Would get destroyed in the post by most above average pfs and centers
I think when analyzing jabari parkers defensive ability you should analyze film as your main measure of how good he is. A stat like defensive rating in this situation is useless, there's so many ways that statistic can be skewed
i DID NOT KNOW a lot of that stuff…!!
Just a question coach, with all the data coming in, how does the psychological profile of each player figure in? Do teams take that into account too?
Also, that's one cool soundtrack running beneath your voice-over. What's the title of the song?
Awesome. That was completely pointless
Hey Coach, Elfrid is from the Sun Belt Conference not Big Sky.
The problem with Doug is he seems like a tweener and he has average length. Of course if he had that vertical leap to go with above average length, he can get away playing his tweener spot and punishing defenders from beyond the arc.
I'm iffy on Kyle Anderson but his metrics are real interesting. I think he's a real project. If he gets stuck on a bad team for the next 2-3 years, good bye to whatever potential he can break.
Interestingly enough, people kept making soft comparisons to Jabari Parker to be like Melo, Gay, etc. I think his most ideal comp is glenn robinson in his prime.
Doug Mcdermott having the same vertical leap as westbrook; clearly that stat of mc dermott shouldn't impress me because westbrook is shorter by 2-4 inches.
Probably the most overrated draft class ever.
The response id like to have seen would be "Ill use this to improve in that area" they're just immature
خنىلنىرءىةىظوووو
nba sucks
most of those guys look like 40 year olds
Constructive criticism? I kinda agree with some of those
Aaron Gordon clanked that shot at the end…
Who tf told Tyler Ennis to enter the NBA Draft? smh
