5’2 Darnell Rogers Full 20-21 UMBC Highlights

[@hollishill7945]

This is the better version of juilan newman

[@BadDad01]

Don't insult this kid like that 🤣

[@username8857]

The fact that Julian is 5’7 is even more embarrassing

[@trench13]

he's not even a version of newman, he's just better than him in everything lol

[@mightron]

he's shorter too and still much better. Julian's situation is ike someone winning the lotto ten blowing it all an ending up broke and a nobody

[@koli154]

This 😭

[@jitlxgic]

His perimeter defense is crazy he’s always pressuring the point guard and he’s lights out from 3 he’s very skillful and dangerous for his size

[@michaelbonhomme3677]

Nah…. Gilbert Arenas said it best… you want to apply that pressure? Fine! Two guard bring the ball up, pass it to me after we’re past half court and 40ppg from 1-4 Flat. Love this player’s energy though

Tips for short guards: You need a consistent three point shot And you need to know how to finish with contact

[@jdubthetruthwillbemadeknown]

Also need a fast release and a good handle

[@reneeontop39]

@@jdubthetruthwillbemadeknown yes definitely

[@jdubthetruthwillbemadeknown]

@The Utility As a small guard . You're already at a disadvantage.. The shorter you are the more SKILLED you have to be.. Shooting is one of the skills needed for a small guard

[@PyroInferno110]

@@jdubthetruthwillbemadeknown need good IQ as well, because just scoring small guards aint gonna cut it. Also gotta be a strong

[@hesh1491]

and good passing game and good court iq you pretty much need to be good at everything if you’re a short guard

[@breezebye8936]

The shit he’s doing fuck how tall he is I want him on my team every time.

Taking him over a 6’2 self proclaimed PG who can’t shoot every damn time

I would love to see him make to the NBA

He prolly won’t make it cause of his height, but there were short people in the nba like muggsy bogues

Boy only 5’2 but balling I hope he make it to the NBA give the man a shot !!!

[@kb-tm2hm]

Hes not a charity case, in what world should a 21 year old averaging 10 on 35% get a shot

[@T_Rock-3824]

Are u for real? The kid has heart but cmon man...the NBA? 9.8PPG and 1.8 assists for a PG and he's not playing at Duke or Kansas. There's 70 other D1 PGs with better numbers.

[@tristanalicea2376]

Don’t forget he made 1st team all defense!!

[@andrew-mo1hi]

@kb7 his 3pt percentage is basically the same as his field goal percentage so he pretty much shoots only threes. That’s why his FG% is so low. You can’t just blindly look at stats. And his 3P% was actually over 40% the past two years. Also has over 90% free throw percentage. So he’s a great shooter with Muggsy Bogues-like defense. Not saying he will play in the NBA necessarily, but don’t disrespect him based on misinterpreted stats

[@norfolknwhey4787]

@@andrew-mo1hi said stats are also on a college court. Zero chance he maintains numbers on an NBA court, with players having the ability to block his shots without jumping. Is he talented, yes... NBA caliber? Absolutely not. If he was good enough, he would be playing at a better school.

[@JoePapi1130]

I see a lot of Brandon Jennings in his game. Kid can ball man

[@RenaldyCalixte]

I assume you mean when Brandon Jennings was balling as a rookie in the NBA. Cause after his rookie season Jennings fell off.
