Markquis Nowell 2023 NCAA tournament highlights

[@SDSOverfiend]

You don’t see pinpoint passes like this no more in the NBA. Either it’s a alley or floater for most guards. This kid is putting where only his teammates can get it. Incredible

[@Shinobi33]

You really don't. They put so much emphasis on space and shooting that great point guards are few and far in between. College basketball is a lot funner to watch than the NBA right now

[@SDSOverfiend]

@@Shinobi33 Truly is. Because they haven’t been tainted by the nba game that for entertainment purposes and oddsmakers

[@dwhite-pu1ot]

Cmon bro quis is tuff asf don’t get me wrong but let’s not diminish nba players talent there playing a harder stronger and faster game let’s remember that if they guards play college ball there passes would all look like magic Johnson’s 😂

Player of the tournament for me so far 💯 bro absolute BALLED OUT

[@YellowSkarmory]

Nowell is one of the best pure point guards I have ever seen. His playmaking ability, vision and passing ability are all incredible. Give him a bunch of guys who can score and dude's gonna be averaging double digit assists per game - surprised he only averaged like 8 this year. Too bad this is his final year in college, would've loved to see him back at KSU or anywhere next year.

[@robbpowell194]

He's a magician. His passes were lasers and he totally deked out my eyes a number of times.

[@emendez8568]

This guy reminds me so much of Steve Nash the passing ability. Driving to the hoop finishes Around The hoop the shoot from anywhere. This kid is amazing LOL.

[@Iceman2890]

Welcome to the Raptors! Rooting for you to make the team

coming from a raptors fan you should probably watch more hoops. but hes nice with it

A lot of NBA scouts are watching his play throughout this tournament, and his stock has reached new highs when they look at how talented he is

I hope the NBA don’t play politics with Dude. He def know how to run a team cuz is nice with it

[@YellowSkarmory]

God, I hope he makes the NBA. Don't know if he's big enough to, 5'8" is just so small for an NBA guy, but he has the best playmaking ability and vision I've seen out of anyone this year in college. Hope a team gives him a shot, I don't know how he'll do but given a shot I think he could make some noise.

Perfect FVV replacement for the Raptors

[@OctoMatoe]

hes 5'7 and wont have that much space in the NBA. the passing lanes are gonna be even more tight and they wont double team as much as in those highlights. he shot 38% fg and 35% from three. Hes nothing compared to FVV.

[@nariy4855]

his teammates understanding where to go and how to space the floor rly helps him a lot with getting the shot off.

[@tlaw.onesix]

I agree. But it also helps them out that they have a pg with such an iq. All they need to do is know where to be able to go and be able to finish

[@garypace7697]

The man reads defenses like a quarterback and he looks for laziness or flaws in your D and he takes advantage of those defensive mistakes with pin point passing. He is Pratrick Mahomes on the basketball and i love it, pure excitement.

His size is not a factor, he has a good shot and can finish at the rim against good sized players, i was worried how he would do defensively against bigger players but he showed up. And this kids vision is just different. he def would be a steal in the draft for a team with a system that fits him

Same way Steph's run ended

[@Rosinronin]

I expected them to go to massoud I didn’t think he was gonna dribble and fumble the ball tho but quis wasn’t taking the last shot because for him to get a clean look at 5’8 you have to run some type of screen and he had issues getting a clean look on earlier possessions particularly the one before where he had to pass to tomlin with 6 seconds left

[@bobbyorr6657]

Damon Stoudamire 2.0

[@facelesscsgo4134]

He gives me confidence when I play with friends. I feel comfortable suraunded buy much taller players around me. When we play 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 is kind of hard for them to pass thru me by dribbling the ball. At the same time for me is kind of ez to go 1 on 1 and look for the continue ( if someone meets me then I have free teammate, if not I try to finish of course) The only hard point is after miss shot under basket. I try my best and I feel that sometimes players try to protect me as they don't want to fall over me. We have some very funny situations like me sitting on the back of someone or opposite wich is kind of dangerous. I weight only 67 kg and others are 90+ most of the time. Good luck to everyone. Nice video to March Madness.

He won’t be a first round pick but whatever team takes him in the second or brings him in as a undrafted free agent is getting a dog at the PG who’s not afraid of anything all he needs is a chance and team tht believes in him thts one thing genuinely I hate about the NBA. There are a lot of coaches that will not give you a chance and then there are some coaches that will give you a chance but the first screwup you do they throwing you right back on the bench after five minutes this dude right here could be better then what Isaiah Thomas was when he got drafted to the Kings and took Jimmer Fredette starting spot
