"Tingus Pingus" Just had a legendary game 1 in the finals on limited minutes lmao. Injuries really destroy careers - glad to see him shake back

[@MADVILLAIN-vt3zu]

They won the title too

[@boltavoltabolt]

The fact the Booker grew up in Grand Rapids, begging for Detroit to draft him, and they still went with Stanley Johnson blew my fucking mind as a Pistons fan

[@johnmeraz7348]

Damn if I was a pistons fan I would be mad! Y’all would had been contenders by now

[@brianbadonde9251]

They were building a defensive identity back then

[@boltavoltabolt]

@@brianbadonde9251 no tf they were not lmao. They had jameer nelson as a point guard. The only justification was that they already had KCP. But hindsight is 2020 i guess

[@jumpvelocity3953]

It’s tragic

[@East-sideSavannah.G-streetboy.]

But back than not many people saw Booker as being anything more then a role player

[@EonArashi]

Fun fact: KAT is a fan of Five Nights at Freddy’s, and asked The Game Theorists to do a theory on the game at one point in 2017 (MatPat gave him an incredulous shoutout in the video).

[@LockdownK]

wowww!

What's crazy is that KD and Russ wanted OKC to take Booker if he was available, but Phoenix took him just one pick before. That trio woulda been crazy, but at least we got Russ/Cam Payne dance videos for a few seasons.

13:13 Barça fan here, we just diversified, it started with the "soccer" club and the club took in more sports as it expanded (rugby, hockey, handbol, voleibol and even esports), it isn't even the weirdest name we have, we are now renovating the "soccer" stadium. the previous one was called Camp Nou which translates to new field. It was inaugurated in 1957.

[@jimsangreal7663]

Despite having KAT and Booker, as well as Kristaps, is it safe to say that this was a lean draft? I mean, when compared to other drafts in the 2010s, only 2013 and 2019 have fewer All-Stars. However, 2013 had Giannis and Gobert; Oladipo also made one. 2019 had Zion and Ja; Garland also made one and these guys are still very young. Barrett and Herro could be All-Stars before it's all said and done.

[@spidamitchell8311]

2013 is the worst class with 1 MVP caliber player 1 boarderline hof 1 all nba caliber player 1 all star caliber player and a few solid starters

[@Killshot15]

Watching how Jalil Okafor’s career went was sad to see cause I was really sold on him coming out of college same thing with Porzingas although he’s doing well in the nba now just imagine him without injuries

Also it's been confirmed, that Danny Ainge and boston offered at least 3-4 draft picks to Charlotte for #9 to draft Winslow

[@ivanrezzy7926]

If anything this video also shows you how scouts give in so much to stereotypes. Every tall white dude is polished and can shoot. Every lanky black dude is a lob threat and defensive potential off the charts. Every light skin dude is a Klay Thompson archetype etc…I think the league does a much better job now scouting and drafting players

It’s crazy cause porzingis is going crazy on the Celtics bro is going insane over there

[@blowc1612]

Willie was never supposed to be a star NOR replaced Cousins. Kings traded for Buddy, and used the pick for Fox. Fox and Buddy was supposed to be the back court duo stars and WCS supposed to be the derensive anchor ONLY while the followinf year Bagley was supposed to be a part of the big 3. Obviously it didnt work out but Willie was never expected to replace Cousins.

[@panteraJTM]

Just like Reed Shepherd and Rob Dillingham this year, Calipari didn't play Towns and Booker as much as he should have. Cal's favoritism towards certain players cost UK a lot of wins and wasted a lot talent.

[@Nick-ek3nt]

[@RE1GN_BLOOD]

Knick fans really ate their words with Kristaps. Happy for him now that he’s flourishing in Boston. Hope he stays healthy

[@blowc1612]

Which I was surprised. As I was high on him and wished he slid for the Kings. KP and Cousins would have been a great front court tandem. Even told a friend who is a Knicks fan that they got a great pick despite he wasn't sold.

As a Croat myself Im dissapointed in what Mario done in NBA(almost nothing),but also he's playing decently in Real Madrid.If he had over 34% or more on his 3P⁰/° he would've still be in the league and maybe be a champ. I guess he was a bust...

[@Killshot15]

Do you think Kat would still go number one knowing everything we do now as a Timberwolves fan I feel like I’d still take Kat then cause I’m not sure ant and book would be a good fit plus who’s to say we’d even be able to get Ant if we had Book on the team

[@LockdownK]

Hmmm good question, it's 2015 so teams are still trying to find those Unicorn bigs that can shoot and dominate down low (KD 2.0), you already have wiggins too. so with all that being said I am taking KAT still. and even if it doesn't work out, just build him up and then trade him for someone who fits better later on

[@Killshot15]

I really thought dbook would’ve come to Minnesota when dlo was here with Kat call em delusional which I am but they stated they wanted to play together

[@LockdownK]

Depends on his mindset, Me personally i'd rather say in Arizona where I am already settled, the team is mine, the team also has my bird rights so they can go over cap to pay me, and I don't have to go live in ice cold Minnesota

[@blowc1612]

If it wasn't for the Suns getting good and Suns getting Choke Paul, there's a different reality where Kat, Dlo and Booker played together.

[@blowc1612]

​@@LockdownKyou do understand that a player traded, their Bird rights is included that's why teams who are trading for a star whose contract is up at the end of the season, risk of trading for the star at the deadline in hopes of resigning them with Bird rights and not signing them through FA. Also Booker isn't a true franchise player and cannot lead a team to a championship. He hasn't developed his ball handling unlike other SGs that transitioned into PG. He is more inconsistent than people think. He has bad attitude and temper. He is better of being a 2nd-3rd fiddle than being the focal point of the offense. Just like the Nets, the problem with the Suns is that KD is a better player nor is a leader, and the other stars aren't leaders. It worked for GSW because Steph and Green are the leaders of the team and it allowed KD to play his game. That's why in OKC it was all talent but no real leader and that's why they choked when it mattered most.

[@blowc1612]

​@@LockdownKyou also do understand that the desert gets freezing cold and the summer is blazing hot. I rather live in Minnesota in terms of weather than the scorching summers of Phoenix.

[@mrvk39]

Yeah, it was a disappointing draft despite so much promise! Softness, injuries, and lack of desire to get better characterize top draft picks. Booker was the steal but even he is kind of soft. KP, had he not been injured, would've been the best, probably. What is terrible about 2015 draft is that there were no real stars in the late 1st and 2nd rounds.... just some good rotation guys.
