Is CASSIUS STANLEY Just A Dunker? Is He A BUST? Stunted Growth

[@stuntedgrowth]

One of the best 1 foot dunkers today, can Stanley be more than that?

[@zeroturn7091]

Sadly, he seems to be on the same path as Lecque.

[@memphis1038]

Now you should do one UNC player Nasir Little?

[@stuntedgrowth]

@@zeroturn7091 I thought Lecque would turn out better, but he still has low iq and doesn't do anything but drive n jump

[@stuntedgrowth]

@@memphis1038 Been thinking of him. Never saw it in him.

[@Marvilloso]

You should do Marcus Liberty

[@RonnyTheGamer]

He got held back twice. I was also born in ‘99 and graduated HS in ‘17, he did in ‘19. Bro was a college freshman at 20. He was a victim of holding kids back so they look better than they do because they are playing kids younger than them.

Honestly was never too high on Cass. Great dunker. Mediocre shooter & scorer.

[@Storyofarose]

He definitely needed another year at Duke and long list of others

[@RandyBaker87]

What I notice about guys that use their athleticism too much is that they fail to develop/use their on-court IQ. And there's something that I always say to my cousin. And that is, "Athleticism doesn't mean shit if you don't have the IQ to develop a jumpshot, defense, and passing skills." Those are critical if you lose your athleticism slowly or quickly.

[@johndavis9321]

Big facts you also see this play out a lot with athletic point guards guys like Steve Francis, Dennis smith jr. And even westbrook they tend to play a to be honest dumb brand of point guard break their man down get to the rim for a dunk or a dump off or kick it out for three their is very little nuance to how they play and that goes back to as you said not developing that iq early in their careers because they were faster and could just put jump everybody

[@TheWakeup011]

[@Mad_Intellect]

He also had a terrible knee injury in high school. That definitely stunted his development a bit.

[@bugagee3560]

Can be the Next Gerald Green he had to go overseas to learn how to play

[@zeroturn7091]

That’s a good example. Younger players that fall out of the rotation can learn a lot from him. Most are probably crushed when they can’t get minutes, and just let things play out.

[@CruddyDave]

fax Gerald Green, Jr Smith and prime Deron Williams went overseas and came back a different player.

[@Yahye481]

That year at Duke the tournament was cancelled because of Covid. They were actually a really good team, record was 25-6 and I thought they were a final four level. Duke missed the tourney the following year.

[@dannyh5937]

They were definitely a final four team. A lot of players on that Duke team failed to pan out in the NBA

[@demaszstyo9644]

Talking about a dunk only guard, please do Stunted Growth on Dennis Smith Jr

[@gpc831]

He had a lot a lot of hype going into that nba draft cuz his dunking like u said.. what happened to dude!? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔…

[@peejaythegreat1704]

Just looked thru the list of Stunted Growth videos on this channel and realized Ive watch oevery single video JC uploaded 🔥 🔥🔥

[@djsugebryant281]

I was never to big on Stanley, I just looked at him as a glorious dunker, like Dennis Smith Jr Seventh Woods and Mikey Williams in high school now.....all dunkers with very little else brought to the table!!

[@johndavis9321]

Facts I think Mikey is a lil more skilled as a scorer than those dudes tho I just wish he would develop his passing cause being 6’1 6’2 as a pure scorer is a tough sell

[@lilshaan6252]

@@johndavis9321 he’s like a Donovan Mitchell

[@johndavis9321]

@@lilshaan6252 yup I just think he has Mitchell’s girth or athleticism to play like a Donovan Mitchell

[@mo3bandz91]

no dennis smith was act really fucking good. the only reason he’s not a big name is bc the mavs coach literally hated him n traded him for luka n since has had to adjust both in play-style and mentality. we seem to forget how big confidence n havin a strong mentality plays a part in someone’s career. dennis smith was def NBA talent tho

[@cambrogden9554]

Gotta do one on Matthew Hurt his teammate , top 10 recruit to Duke avg 18 ppg his soph szn but went undrafted

[@dannyh5937]

So many kids on that team failed to do anything in the league.

[@frankernest3712]

People forget he was darn near 20 in high school

[@angelopatterson9584]

Kobe Bryant once Said in an interview with Stephen A Smith. The game It's not about speed and its not about Athleticism its about togetherness and finding a way to play maximize each others talents.

[@Dantana773]

I don't View him as a bust yet, He still 22 and still has time to develop another year In college would have helped him out a lot but when you have guys like Gilbert A telling ya pops along with others to leave and get to the league.

[@henning14]

Same situation with soccer fans these days. Too many offen younger fans watch too many highlights videos and forget about fundamentals🤷🏼‍♂️

[@michaelbonhomme3219]

I think leaping is a phenomenal attribute, but NBA players make it look obsolete when you can jump decent in comparison, but you know how to use your body, footwork, and angles to dominate a leaper. Most of our favorite players can jump higher than average, but the stop and pops, pivots, seals, and ambidextrous release points make shot blockers with vertical leaping ability look like lunch meat 85% of the time

[@sean_3306]

I love that Rob Parker ref fam! "Around long enough for a cup of coffee☕💯" No sweetroll

[@stuntedgrowth]

lol that saying has been around though. can't even remember who I heard say it first

[@cameronmcdowell8486]

Sometimes I feel like he should’ve stayed another year at Duke. I think it could’ve helped him out.

[@AndreaBaixinho]

if Cassius becomes a better shooter he could be a Gerald Green type of player

[@DMalltheway]

Do one for Patrick McCaw

[@yvng_cmoney4599]

we need a killian hayes vid because he’s perfect for this segment

[@jeremiahtalkssports1832]

One thing i noticed on his first "stunt" is that you said Duke didn't make the NCAA tournament. This is the season that the Tournament was cancelled due to covid because it was 2019-2020. They went 25-6 that season so they definitely would've made it

[@brandonbee9]

He seems to have a level head. As long as he keeps that he will do fine in life.

[@greed8756]

A key to know if someone is going to be a good pro is how easy they make the game look is every bucket a try hard move or are they getting easy consistent buckets

[@watchnofacee]

This kid spent almost 8 years in high school. Kept reclassify begging for hype. Mind you high school only 4 years 😂

[@Jonathanfifer00]

U should do jalen leque, similar game to Stanley, they were calling him baby Westbrook

[@markmitchell9455]

There wasn’t even a tournament his year cause of Covid

[@antgotguap6951]

He definitely should have stayed at duke a little longer. Should have worked with coach k to fix his jumper

It's crazy to me how these guys just don't develop. James White, Desmond Mason, Hakeem Warrick like cmon

[@kingkong4763]

He should’ve mimic his style more of ray allen probably would help him more..

[@consciousobserver377]

He was a top 10 talent at one point in high school. The talent was never a question. He showed more than enough at duke to be drafted. His problem is that he doesn’t have a real transferable skill besides his athleticism in the NBA

[@eltoneoc77y]

This is just a suggestion on some players you cover on a few up an coming Stunted Growth videos. Rudy Gay, Derron Williams, Carlos Boozer, Michael Redd, Brandon Roy, Tracy McGrady, Montae Ellis, Antown Jameison, Shawn Marion, Ben Gordon, Andre Miller and Elton Brand. These are a few names that came to mind.

[@terryindachat7296]

Wasn't Cassius like 14 going on 15 in the 8th grade? I think that's what hurt his draft stock was he was a 20 almost 21 year old freshman coming into the NBA

[@konstantins1385]

He was just never highly ranked in serious NBA mock drafts, always late 1st or 2nd round. I wouldn't call him a bust either way, his performance just comes with the territory.

[@NewEarthSon]

this guy is comparable to gerald green. No march madness tournament took place in 2020 due to covidd 19.

[@unwashedPapi]

Homeboy can shoot also. He was 15 in the 8th grade tho. He graduated at 19

[@AndreaBaixinho]

Cassius shoots with good form so I think his issue might just be consistency. I've seen him hit shots so I know he probably just has to work on it. He may have relied on his athleticism a bit too long while in HS and college and now has to work on his shooting to be up to par

[@12savage68]

Form is overrated

[@gpc831]

To me he like a lot plateau’d in 8th/9th grade. I mean he has improved a lil but not grown an inch & same dunks he was doing back then.. there are a lot of cats like that that peak like in 8th/9th grade & stop growing physically also

[@gpc831]

To me he was the nicest Sierra canyon players we’ve seen since SC has became a natl powerhouse! The thing is guys like CS do need to evolve their game. In particular your right shooting.. very athletic. But saying & many probably will say he’s the best & most star studded at SC in last decade & look at the talent they’ve churned out zire Williams playing for Memphis in playoffs right now.. bagley. Maybe CS will improve with time in league. I think there are those guys in hs that we all fall in love cuz of dunking ability & that too good too early label. Must continue working like u said & evolving game. Hoping Stanley can do that!

[@robertowen3478]

Certainly needed another year at Duke but he wasn’t even a top 30 recruit and still had the option to jump to the league after 1 season. Also Duke didn’t miss the tournament that season, there was no tournament and the only team that legitimately missed the tournament was UNC.

[@stringer2295]

[@ifheavenwashuman]

I think he suffered from a bad case of Bring Yo Ass Back to School. One more year could’ve done him wonders, in hindsight. But never will I hate on a move that put him in a better situation financially, nor am I judging him. I actually think he’ll be a quality NBA role player in time.

what I don't understand is why didn't he graduate when he was supposed to. He would've been at Duke with Wendell Carter and Marvin Bagley. He probably would've been a lottery pick. also his father only has one client, his son. Also you said duke didn’t make the tournament but nobody did, it was cancelled.

[@deebrown5744]

Yo's natural fact whatever you study as a kid especially basketball or any other sport let's take basketball for instance if you come in as a dunker and got no shot from your teenage years you're not going to be Steph Curry when you get to the next level just like if you're a shooter you're not just going to get up overnight and freaking start dunking like Michael Jordan it's not going to happen so that's why the best thing to tell the youth is to balance out your game meaning do both for each the only playing history I see that that was Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant those are the only two in mind that could do both

I understand why he left early but he would have benefited more transferring another school for a year or 2 to work on his game obviously Duke is like UK at this point and they got guys coming in and out like a drive thru so him going back there wasnt a reality but more time to work on his game was his biggest stunt hes still young and raw as a player he probably wont be a key player until later down the road when hes got a more well rounded game

Not to be a hater just was never high on his potential. Especially when all you see is dunk highlights of a young player. We all know KZbin highlights are heavily edited to make a player look great but seeing him at Duke alone I wasn’t impressed. Just seem like a great athletic player that goes off at La Fitness or occasional rec center. I’m always hopeful he can pull it together with the right training but man when u get traded to Detroit it can be death sentence to a young player bc he was basically a throw away off the books. Maybe playing with a great future floor general like Cade he might can shine a bit
