He would have been perfect for the 2016, I think it was 2016, could have been a year before, Memphis grizzlies. Not many people remember that they were awesome that year and had Golden State down 2-1 and a game at home. This was the first year Golden State was any good. If Memphis had won that close game, It really could have changed NBA history. It would have shown the three-point shooting of the Golden State Warriors was not better than the traditional play that Memphis had, and may have altered how players played and teams drafted. The Golden State won a close series, 4-2, and everyone started throwing up threes after that. Traditional centers started becoming obsolete. Marc Gasoul was amazing, But losing that series doomed to future centers

[@JC-Utopic-Gauntlet]

GS did not have bigs shooting threes they had a traditional center in 2016.

The Series you're talking about was a year prior to 2016, the year they won the NBA championship. You also can still have a traditional big man, only if you have the system and pieces like the Heat, and Warriors have.

@@klover19 yes it was 2015 I believe. Golden State and Memphis were probably the two best teams that year and such a contrast in styles.

[@GR-bn3xj]

@@JC-Utopic-Gauntlet I was one year off. It was 2015. The year they kind of came out of nowhere and destroyed the league. While they did have a center, They were throwing up threes at a rate not seen before, I believe. Memphis was such a a traditional, 90's era team. Usually people emulate champions, so if the warriors don't win that, i have always wondered what would have happened with that style. Who knows, maybe nothing, but maybe it slows down the frequency of shooting 3's. I do believe it is an underrated moment in NBA history, one not many people think about.

Ok...getting so sick of this every year... Logic and common sense here... This has been going on for decades...with the argument "the NBA is a different game"...that "certain" college players' skills don't "translate" to the next level. I'm sorry, but if you dominate in a "lesser" league, and aren't given a chance at the next level...yet those that don't dominate in that lesser league, yet they are the ones drafted higher over you in that same next level...then maybe that "next level" is garbage and for lesser basketball players. Hence why the NBA product is horrible...and the same goes for the NFL. Seems like there's an agenda with how they shape the league. And STOP with the BS, "they don't play defense"- NO ONE does in the NBA. And real athletes know- Athleticism is NOT just straight line speed and vertical leap....it also includes timing, hand eye coordination, agility, vision, awareness, broad jump, change of direction, strength, and power.

First of all, Drew Timme will make it in the NBA. Sure he can't run or jump, but neither could Larry Bird. That's not to say that Timme is another Bird; he's not, but like Bird he knows what to do with the basketball & he's a smart passer & has great court vision: he knows where everybody is an any one time. Now, because Timme runs & jumps like he's white, he'd be lit up like a cheap pinball machine by LeBron, but Timme could take a slower, less talented LeBron inside & fish him funny. Think and 1's, assists, & smart set-ups if playing against a Cazzie Russell or a Bill Bradley or John Stallworth. I see Timme as a power forward who could start against a few teams, but can be brought in as a quality power forward later in the track meet. Without a doubt, Timme is a high contrast player who can be brought in to turn on the microwave, and then, be yanked for a faster, better jumping athlete. Don't be thinking Timme & Chet Holgrem; think someone who runs like Westbrook, Fox, or Morrant. Like you said, Matt B, Timme works for the right team, in the right circumstances.

NBA drafts on potential. What, do they have a crystal ball? The real reason is they saw Adam Morrison part II staring them in the face. Yup, another Gonzaga great and one of the biggest busts in history. I think all the guys you mentioned could have solid journeyman careers in the league or overseas, with Oscar needing the most work. Hope he finds a home and takes this wakeup call seriously. He was a BEAST at WVU. Timme has pretty quick feet on the offensive side, not so much on D.

You know Kentucky is one of the best programs (even if they haven’t done so hot lately) if people watch them just to watch them lose.

[@thundergato84]

Kentucky hasn't done squat in years.

Not shooting 3’s is the big reason. He’s mediocre at defense but so is most of the NBA.

When Luka Garza was drafted late 2nd rd was when I noticed

[@andy11ink]

The good things he said timme does is what Jokic does, back downs, spin moves, good in the pick and roll, middies, Jokic does shoot 3’s, and Timme could for sure learn that, and Jokic is also one of the slowest and un-athletic players in the league, Jokic also plays zero defense…I’m not a Timme fan either but he is just a few inches shorter than Joker, and has a lot of the same skills, minus being a good passer or 3 point shooter, a good NBA coaching staff could get him right, he will get picked up by somebody I’m sure

Exactly my thoughts listening to this vid. He’s got game that can be developed similarly to Jokic. I think warriors would be nice with him on a two way deal.

@@LGeezus_ totally agree!!

College basketball has little to do with NBA preparedness. Teams are drafting 19yr olds so they can develop them from scratch and not have to undo NCAA teaching. How many division w 1 schools turn out game ready upperclassmen? Villanova? Wichita State?

Brandon Miller plans to compete with Ja Morant for most suspensions !

[@adamzboss]

He would be dope on the magic, him and paolo can just pass it back and forth in the paint
