Just How Good is Marvin Bagley? - Scouting Reel / Player Analysis

The first video where I think people might actually really disagree with me! Not that I think I'm always right, but I know a lot of people are higher on Doncic, Ayton or Jaren Jackson. I break down Marvin Bagley's game, warts and all. Here's my argument for why I think he's the safest bet in the 2018 NBA Draft.

I'm a basketball junkie and I feel like I struck gold finding your channel. Love your content, keep up the great work!

[@harshmadhok4410]

I had the exact same thought.

[@TheSportsandFilmFellowship]

same

[@Wesley296]

Vlade definitely watched this video before drafting him XD.

[@moe2360]

Underrated channel. Should easily have 100k 💯

[@yoop2012]

Totally agree

[@HandlesMcCandles]

It's coming, was at 3.7K when I subbed yesterday. Today he's at 5K, I think the KZbin algorithms have picked it up!

[@jacoby310]

Suuuper underrated. Almost 10k!

[@Turbo_Games_]

Derrick Coleman reference killed me. Subbed for that alone😂

[@OGMeatball]

Facts I had to subscribe !

[@Fleischo]

you know you found a good channel if you disagree with some of the opinions of the vidcreator and still feel like the video u just watched was worth it. great stuff dude.

[@nanoja312]

Awesome analysis. I agree 100%. Ayton probably has more potential due to his length and body. Bagley just has IT though. ask coach K about him. he lights up like a Christmas tree when he talks about Bagley.....

[@jefversavel9475]

his defense scares them

[@devvv4616]

he is like the colin sexton of big men

[@devinmccurry1160]

nano Ja i think bagey has way more potential as a player with his skill set, ayton has more potential just with his body and frame

[@alansmith888]

Can’t believe it took me this long to find a channel with such quality content. Sharing/liking everything so the world knows.

[@antinapay]

I love this channel. Videos are detailed and interesting, and the narration is clear, analytical, yet funny at the same time. You will get 100k subs in no time, and I will be proud to say that I was here before almost everyone else.

[@ralphddelacruz6233]

Just binged your whole analysis series - content is on point and dope af!

[@tycollins965]

I agree. His motor, energy and effort, with his obvious ability... He's a star.

Great script, great editing, and perfect time limit. Excited to see what other content you create

[@TheKnicks2012]

This is really high quality analysis. Keep up these type of videos!

[@itsCodman]

Loving these videos man.

[@michaelguadiana8827]

I watched this vid when he got drafted by Sac and now I came back to it right before the all star weekend. This analysis is 100% spot on. Everything that you highlighted as strengths, he’s doing well in the NBA (with the exception of shooting the 3). Everything you listed as a weakness (his weird phobia of using the right hand) is showcased each night. Nonetheless, he was a great pick by Sac and your analysis is 100% spot on. Great work.

[@icrazysk8er]

New favorite basketball channel!

[@michaelhaydenbell]

This is the one dude I've been unsold on in the top half of the lottery regarding his hype, mostly because there just aren't any good examples of franchise big men recently who can't play D. I was scared whoever took him would watch him turn into Okafor 2.0. You're the one who finally sold me on him. Now I'm just upset all over again that my Mavs got screwed in the lottery.

[@alex1sku]

The Dime Drop I know he didn’t showcase his on ball defense too much cause Duke played zone quite a bit this season

[@gabe425]

Okafor is fat and Baglys boggest trait is his athleticism, Okafors biggest gripe is hes not effective outside the paint but Bagley has shown a lot of flashes of being effective from the wing and has shown some promising ball skills. Hes goona be good

[@gators9570]

Okafor can’t defend because he’s slow footed and moving in general. The fact that bagley can run so smoothly and is able to jump 2-3 times so quickly bodes well for him especially considering how important it is now for bigs to be able to keep up on the perimeter. All that wingspan is useless if you’re completely blown by

[@spoder22]

Yeah Bagley is competent on defense and it's very unlikely that he'll be a flatout bad defender in the NBA. He might be below average, but I don't think he'll be someone that opposing teams will target and play "whoever offense". Okafor is and always has been a sieve on D.

This is comparable to the first time I saw an SDC or Jxmy video. Well put together already with passion in your scouting and good presentation. I'm a Dime Drop fan now!

[@austinkimmell6397]

Best analysis on Bagley I've seen! I agree on all accounts!

[@thiccshake]

Disgusting how you don't have more view, your vids are beautiful 👍👍💯

[@magnusopump]

I agree. I live in Phoenix and started following MBIII when he began his high school freshman season . As a Suns fan (go easy on me), I am a little disappointed that they didn't take him. Ayton is a great pick and will probably will have a quicker impact/ shorter learning curve with his freak long/athletic body. And while I think that both will be All-Stars within three-years, I believe Marvin will have had the better career when we look back on it in 12-15 years.

[@gillynova]

Very good channel dude. You're gonna blow up soon

Best new channel on youtube. Wendell Carter please

[@crieverytim]

when did this channel start? why am i watching scouting reels? why did i sub?

[@apolloorosco6852]

As a long time disappointed Kings fan, I welcome you Mr.Bagley

[@mctaco4484]

So I’m a hawks fan and I’m kinda stuck between Bagley and Jackson Jr. I think Bagley has a higher offensive ceiling and the new coach is prioritizing defense so he’ll most like improve if we draft him.

[@merlincalo6877]

He’s got such quick feet & athleticism for a big. He is really relentless on the boards, like his energy & how he attacks the basket. He has a decent jumper & like that he is a lefty shooter. He needs to work on that right hand, but maybe the most NBA ready player in the draft.

[@danda2695]

6:28 "He goes hard all the time!" had me lmao

[@deezghogh2552]

Just subscribed you're going to blow up in no time just watch, your content is really good

[@fitzhickey9959]

Old school comp for him is Dave Cowens.

[@Byronic19134]

Hey bro what mic do you use because your voice is sparkling lol

[@AndreaBaixinho]

I've watched every game of Bagley and the only thing I would say about his offensive game is that he's a bit repetitive in the post. Pass fake-hook, pass fake-dunk, basically he only does these 2 when he's in the post, he needs to expand his post moves arsenal - but he'll have the chance to do it in his rookie season. He definitely has to improve his free throws, he shoots a very bad percentage considering how often he goes to the line. Apart from that, he's my favorite player from this draft. He is always focused and never gives up. He plays well under pressure. Will be a very good PF in the NBA

[@Jmxd21]

Great video. You have a gift for this. I think Bagley should go 1 as well.

[@cau6568]

i honestly think this dude is wayyy better than Doncic, i just dont see how Doncic is considered by others as the number 1 pick

[@retna1x363]

bro he was a euroleague mvp and champ at 19 but you guys believed a fucking college kid was better?

[@BigBrumGames]

It’s obvious that you have great knowledge of the game, so may I ask you where it comes from? I’ve been watching since your first video and I’m just curious if your profession is in the basketball/sports realm.

[@BigBrumGames]

The Dime Drop Sounds very similar to myself! Haha. I’m a college student working towards a journalism degree so that I can get into sports writing, more specifically basketball recruitment and development. Best of luck to you with this channel! In a year’s time I’m certain your subscriber number will have blown up. Best of luck!!

[@gullintanni]

I do agree. This channel has loads of potential. I love the rationality, tone and lack of hyperbole. Keep it up :)

[@shazil888]

Hot Take!

[@giveitall1992]

I hope to see him drafted by the hawks 3rd overall

[@tradariusmaddox6827]

giveitall1992 hell yeah. We need a good draft pick to potentially turn the team around

[@BTate-me8wz]

Him and John Collins both need to play the 4, if the hawks drafted him there would be no rim protection. His best fit is in Sacramento where he can play the 4 with a rim protector in WCS, have a true floor general in Fox, and 2 incredible shooters in Hield and Bogdanovic. Him and Fox would be scary in transition.

[@jessesjourney5973]

@@BTate-me8wz you are a genius.

[@kevinharing766]

Positional talent sounds legit to me!

[@eastur4153]

You Should Analyze Bryan Penn Johnson

[@Byronic19134]

I agree with taking Bagley over Ayton only if he shows touch on his outside shot during workouts. But I would take Mo Bamba 1st over both.

[@bballgriot4060]

D-E-E-E-TROIT BAS-KET-BALL!! MBII with NO BRAKES!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@bestlifestyle1013]

Honestly I'd love to see a team like the Rockets try to make a trade for him, trade Capela and their pick for a role player and the pick for Bagley, have Hakeem come and coach him on big man defense (one of the best defensive bigs EVER) then have the cap to sign Paul George so you have Cp3, Harden, Paul George, Bagley, and get a stand in paint protector like Bogut or someone

[@chorizo_on_milfs7386]

Welcome to SacTown

[@dreamsoda897]

Do one for Wendell Carter Jr. :D

[@thiccshakedabber9193]

you gotta do jaren jackson jr

[@101kingsfan]

Go Kings

[@tylerr3740]

I think once Ayton realizes he needs to put more effort into his game to be great he will. And If the Suns do draft him Booker will make sure Ayton works hard.

[@GettingtheTruthOut]

I've had the good fortune of seeing the best college BB over the last 40 years with season tickets to several ACC schools. Bagley is one of the best I've seen, slightly below Duncan. Offensively, he has Duncan's skills at this age. Defensively, not so much. He will definitely be better than Ayton over their careers. This guy is a baller and I agree with everything you said.

[@skarpanton]

Both Zach Randolph and Al Jefferson are famous for being very one hand dominant in their game even though you set them as examples of ambidexterous post play.

[@david-ok1oy]

Kings got him yeah baby

[@gabe425]

What I see is a great athlete whos only real thing hes figured out is rebounding. Hes basically got a hell of a ceiling but hasnt figured it out yet. I really hope he does he looks like he could be a great player one day

+The Dime Drop If Duke's defensive troubles this past season aren't attributed to Bagley, then who would you credit them to? I'm personally out on Bagley, but you made some good points in your video. I still have serious doubts. #1 Besides Wendell Carter Jr, which other likely top 10 pick benefited from playing with a fellow likely top 10 pick? Not to mention, Duval, Trent Jr, Allen. At pretty much all times, Marvin Bagley's teammates seriously out-manned their opponents and were total mismatches for the opposition. Bagley essentially hung around the rim & ate dinner. Big deal. When he goes to the Suns, Kings, Hawks, Grizzlies, or Mavs, that advantage will be history. How's he going to score then? You didn't mention is horrendous free throw shooting; although, I will agree with you that his shot mechanics do suggest he can become a good, maybe even excellent shooter. But, I really think you overplayed his college dominance. You didn't give Carter Jr, Duval, Trent Jr, or Allen near the credit they deserve for that. In addition, name the NBA body that Bagley faced where he took that guy to task. Vs Wake Forest and their twin 7 foot towers, Bagley's production dipped in the 2nd game when those 2 combined for 55 minutes. Granted that's nit-picking a little, but it's also super fair to look at his big lines vs teams like UNC and realize he beat up on a pudgy, slow 6-8 White dude in Luke Maye and 6-6 Theo Pinson. No such unathletic 6-8 & undersized 6-6 tandems to be found for Bagley to feast on in the NBA.

[@nolang1]

lol Duke had a top-10 defensive efficiency in college last year and duval, trent jr., and allen have all shown to be short of nba-caliber. with logic like that, no wonder this take aged badly

[@neweng12]

He's the best college basketball player I've seen in person.

[@jondroll]

Ugh, would you say it was injuries, coaching, poor roster construction, or all of it combined that has prevented Bagley from approaching the projections/expectations of his NBA career so far?

[@thedimedrop8153]

Those things have hurt, but the truth is that I think I just misevaluated him. I had some biases that were hard for me to see at the time. You live you learn 🤷‍♂️.
