[@angelzenny9740]

marvin bagley easily one of the best of the draft. Jaren jackson jr looks like he has potential and it is nuclear kind of talent/explosiveness that needs to get started/ignited by a talented coach. Jaren has alot of passion and heart.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Thank God these Draft Express scouting videos are back somehow... Hope there's more!

[@austindstephenson]

Check out The Dime Drop! Way better production quality.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Will do thanks!

[@wallstreetzoomer]

Love these

[@JMat1986]

Dang ESPN actually putting out some solid vids. I'm impressed!

[@robertmaggs4804]

More of these please!

[@tyquanwilliams4259]

Extremely coordinated 👌

[@DP_1605]

Man I would really love to see him paired with Dennis Smith Jr

[@DomoSkyy]

Paul Popoola no his defensive IQ is wayyyyyy to low we a get cooked I rather have Jarrett JR or mo bomba

[@DP_1605]

That may be true, but they just happen to be 2 of my favorite players

[@Mihau19894]

Two shit defenders on two most important positions in defense. Sounds like a good plan.

[@DP_1605]

I said I would love to see them together as they are two of my favourite players of the last 2 drafts, not that they were the next best young duo, chill

[@SHAFTMOSLEY]

I think Michael porter would be best for the mavs, he got the highest ceiling.

[@kwalex6882]

He's a star

[@OctopusEars]

Welcome to Sacramento MB3!

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

I find it very odd how these athletic guys struggle to block shots at the rim

[@tommygunnew7816]

WutTheDeuce timing, awareness, instincts.

[@tommygunnew7816]

WutTheDeuce and the most important...."desire"

[@TheIcemanthomas]

No one takes the time to teach def iq these days. Coaches dont teach these guys anymore. They just let them play naturally, only using athleticism. That works in hs. AAU, and college. It doesmt translate two the nba tho. Idk tho. Guys like AD, Joel, Kawhi all came in with great def instincts. The u got guys like drummond, wiggins, who have the tools and dont have the iq to put them to use. Its baffling to me too.

[@IMALOBSTERMAN]

Tommy Gun New And his T-Rex arms don't help either.

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

short wingspans don't mean nothing if they can bounce that quick. You don't have to be tall or long as hell to be a good shot blocker. He has the reactions and the bounce, it blows my mind.

[@ballislifejr1850]

MB35 Has Major Upside 📈 Going Into The NBA Kid Has Great Physical Gifts & Talent To Survive

[@daniellucasjr3602]

Bagley is a beast

[@shanergamer102]

Has the potential to be great

[@SE7EN1NE7ES]

So good offensively but not defensively. Also, lack high basketball IQ. That’s what I got from this video

[@Htiy]

Aged like fine wine

[@notkjjk]

3 years later, the Kings can't give him away. Too bad, really

[@336noviluminis6]

Dude, this guy was my favoutite pick. Now he plays for the Kings...sweeet

[@kembel2761]

Hey

[@oscarherrera9438]

So this is where draftexpress is at

[@shmerk12345]

FUTURE STAR

[@jillasy6762]

not in the playoffs though... just another regular season stud

[@andoniainaandrianasolorako8909]

this didn't age well my dude

[@user-cw8bl4oz2r]

sacramento

[@freddref6850]

please for the love of the kings, nooooo. we dont need a low IQ defensive liability with a suspect 3 point shot

[@user-cw8bl4oz2r]

fred dref は？どう言う事？日本語で書いて

[@freddref6850]

thanks for pointing that out buddy

[@JJWilliams910]

He’s going to be what Michael Beasley was supposed to be coming out of Washington State. A rim to rim Monster with an okay midrange jumper

[@pg13pacernation30]

Marvin Bagley or Michel Porter??

[@CowbellkingdomTV]

Check out our Bagley breakdown as well.. We have Bamba as well.. And Porter JR

[@AMA2much]

I see him as a PF just cause he'll have an easier time defending other 4's. If you take a look around the league, the power forward spot is perhaps the worst position talent wise. The best scenario would be a situation that has a stretch 5 so that the paint isn't clogged up allowing him to score easier. Memphis comes to mind.

[@GanDtech]

He and Wendell Carter are gonna be beasts

[@arvinabogado5390]

yeah they will

[@joesakic91]

Now, Marvin Bagley III is in his third team in his career with the Washington Wizards.

[@harrygiles7852]

SACRAMENTO

[@dylanosullivan1114]

SACRAMENTO KINGS 👑

[@dako91196]

Bustley

[@jstiles1659]

Just imagine Boston with three duke players kyrie and tatum and bagley too and boston are in prime position to win the east next year and beyond too.

[@omniscientnegro6585]

yall forgot he suppose to be a senior right

[@yoelgide4710]

z bandz nah he turned 19 in march. He’s in the right grade.

[@BossofBosses111]

He was actually a year behind in HS

[@seang2792]

Ye he looks like he bout 30

[@cubs1433]

Yoel Gide he was eligible in California for his senior year .

[@joshuaazenberg4664]

MBIII has the highest ceiling of any Duke player in the draft. Carter has established his position on a team. Good low post defender, rebounder and shot blocker. I don't think he'll need to be a 3 point shooter but if he can knock it down once a game it's just icing. Carter also shined when Bagley was hurt. So take Carter away from Bagley and that ceiling grows a little too.

[@rufaromanjalanz8219]

I just want them to get to Mo. I know Modern is about the 3, but image Mo with a 15 footer and... A SKY HOOK. Not a baby hook but a full in the air kareem sky hook with his wingspan

[@nikosuarilla5562]

Good pick

[@Lingo_116]

#MB35# This guy is Future!!!!

[@cappy2282]

He's lefty....soo he's beastin

[@christianmendoza4060]

He has the highest bust potential on this draft but at the same time one the highest upsides. He can do a bit everything but bad

[@bullykojima3232]

Well....

[@saivionshaver5043]

I got him for 15-16pts 6 boards and 2 ast pla a game

[@TheNinjahHD]

He reminds me of a more flexed KAT

[@kyleferguson5463]

Y’all on crack if y’all don’t think with his skill that he can average at least 18 and 10 in today’s NBA with the versatility he has ....

[@AdolphSaxOfficial]

18 seems high for a guy who can only score with the left, especially if he's on a low-pace half court offence.

[@369pendulum]

Kyle Ferguson he will average that his rookie year. Dude is a beast

[@irishwood3846]

But will give up 30-10😭😭😭

[@yuch1102]

I am on crack, expensive but worth it, what's you point?

[@bangbang7903]

That's a huge IF!!!

[@dreamaker1]

A C that can't defend AT ALL and lack game feeling and BBIQ on BOTH ends while don't really have any great skills? BUST COMFIRMED He can play bully ball in college and look good but in the NBA he is gonna bust hard, a early to middfle 20th pick for me

[@Reformed1]

@@dluuxx nope he was right. YOU were wrong. bagley is trash!!

[@freddref6850]

am i the only one seeing jahlil okafor 2.0?? elite offense, trash IQ and defense

[@tyshawn5983]

I compare him to Anthony Davis with his shooting ability as a big man and his freakish rebounding and just the quickness he’s gifted with at 6’11.

[@leonarronquillo593]

This didn't aged very well. Still hoping the guy can stay healthy and prove himself but it'll be more difficult since he's no longer with the usual team rotation. And with Sabonis coming to Sacs, he's only a commodity for the Kings.

[@870HogBaby]

🐐

[@quabusiness]

Who is his grandfather ?

[@wooskionehundred1788]

How could anyone knock his game? He’s 6’11 with the heart of russel Westbrook that’s scary. He’s freakishly athletic doesn’t shy from contact, easy lob target and can finish at the rim. He’s to fast for 5’s and 4’s and 3’s are to small. He will be a superstar easily. These sports analysis are terrible and somehow always miss the elite prospects.

[@AlphaDwg]

they said all that but he also has weaknesses. It's called a scouting report. Every player has strengths and weaknesses even Jordan

[@amaanreer5311]

L

[@leonarronquillo593]

Nopity nope.

[@nikosuarilla5562]

Hahahahahha

[@tonton7568]

BUST

[@TheAVShowDaily]

MB3?!

[@sebastianulloa1601]

You guys I’m not lying I just met him a hour ago

[@jstiles1659]

Bagley to Boston with big Al

[@kobyz21]

at least he's Antonio McDyess

[@GanDtech]

If Jaren Jackson gets taken before him that team smoking that cracc

[@Goldie-pk5my]

Reminds me of josh smith

[@Leufane]

I hope we pass on him at 3 doesn’t play D and struggles using his right hand. Raw but athletic as hell not a top 3 pick

[@folumb]

Marvin "in his Bag"ley III

[@footlongchen]

chris bosh?

[@princehenryposadas6395]

Beasley Comparison???

[@yuch1102]

he better than Beasley, Beasley went #2 could be argued as a bust

[@SacramentanKing]

Beasley made himself a bust. Had all the talent to be a superstar. Once he got paid he didn’t care anymore.

[@Deenijel]

Chris Bosh with a fro!

[@AlphaDwg]

I think he has one of the highest floors. I just don't see how he will be a bust. He will do something in the league. Not sure he's a super star but he is a 10+ year veteran at minimum

[@Gaaang-iq9mo]

Next AD

[@Samsonmanase]

Michael Beasley meets Derrick Williams anyone ?

[@yoelgide4710]

As a Hawks fan we have John Collins whose similar to this guy (even tho Bagley has more potential) so I’d rather select Bamba 3rd overall..

[@tjbolden9209]

Yoel Gide bagley can space the floor better with his 3 than Collins which would give Collins a chance to go one on one in the post which could help instead of clogging the lane the hawks need a floor spacing big bagley is that guy

[@Leufane]

Yoel Gide me too we need D and rebounds.

[@yoelgide4710]

TJ Bolden but our defense would be the worst in the league ... & bagley isn’t a great shooter

[@FilipCordas]

Hawks have nothing right now. It's better to take a risk with someone Bagley, Doncic or Porter for the Hawks because Bamba has zero star potential, best you can hope with him is a few DPY but he won't take the Hawks to the playoff.

[@yoelgide4710]

Filip Cordas I don’t think that’s true. Bamba reminds everyone of Rudy Gobert but he has an even longer wingspan than him. I think if he can improve on his foot work/offense he could be similar to Embiid👀

[@huygrxvhjtfv]

I see him as a Kenneth Faried/Blake Griffin-type player. Freakish athlete, GREAT at everything, will be in the league a LONG time..... but not outstanding at anything except dunking.. he needs to develop a very good jumpshot to be a superstar.

[@jkwon5975]

Left handed Ama're Stoudemire 2.0 ver

[@el3saint527]

Ayton will be a bust I'm unsure about doncic bagley will be at least a good bench player tre young mo bamba and Porter if 100% healthy will be stars

[@user-qg9dq7cw6f]

Mike did not hold back

[@godspeedninja4231]

Chris Bosh?

[@AdolphSaxOfficial]

Bosh was a solid defender coming up. Top notch IQ as well.

[@harrystacey8391]

Chris bosh did a little bit of EVERYTHING, got exposed a little on defense but not to the extent of Bagley

[@maxb8145]

AMARE

[@abdullahkaanturker4656]

Bosh was whole package. Bagley isn't legit defender. Also his jumper is not as good as Bosh's.

[@jstiles1659]

Angel Acevedo WOW, I didn't see that coming a chris bosh comparison.. That's pretty damn good

[@mustwatchlive]

He need to be cavs

[@SliteKonto]

Amar'e and Bosh. Idk bout the Simmons thing

[@ThorstenLochmann]

He’d be perfect for the hawks but we already got Collins...

[@nellyville69]

Pistons basketball 🏀

[@mrjonsey]

Amare Stoudemire is the best comparison

[@nateerre7286]

Bamba needs to be higher. He can do everything Bagley can do, and defend

[@mike2687]

Much better defender but his offensive game is years behind Bagley's.

[@streplay]

I'm not sure how you could pick this guy over luka Doncic

[@dannycamello6106]

Cause everyone is biased against Euro's because of Milicic.

[@smlbcity23]

Sassy Mammoth golden rule. Dont pick a European going top 5 regardless.

[@streplay]

smlbcity23 according to whom? Abraham Lincoln?

[@smlbcity23]

Sassy Mammoth or should i say top 10. Base on history. 20 milic to 1 Dirk rate. Thats awful for top 10.

[@mike2687]

MB's biggest weakness is his defense... which takes nothing away from his offense and rebounding and we must consider how many NBA stars are pathetic on defense. LD's biggest weakness is going against athletic defenders and a poor long-range jumper... pretty much every NBA teams has multiples of these kind of players to throw at him and they, until he develops that three point shot, can play under the screens instead of switching to limit is playmaking ability. Of their weaknesses, I'd say that Luka's is a larger obstacle to overcome as his is about athleticism and quickness while MB has those very tools that can make him into a decent/good/competent defender if he has the desire and puts the work in... I think he's going to be a very good player but think that such a short-coming leaves the door open for an honest debate. Also, a great chance that Doncic ends up being the better pick. Time will tell. Regardless, I think both are going to be great in the open court from day one and be fun to watch.

[@mccreav]

This analysis is so contradicting when it came to defense...

[@Kerboripx]

Celtics may trade they're 1st round pick and another pick along with jaylin brown to move up and pick up Marvin Bagley

[@lomna17]

Kerbo Mixtape they want mo Bamba not Bagley. They had him come over

[@tommygunnew7816]

Anthony Randolph smh

[@billrussell4832]

Tommy Gun New lol

[@staydangerousceo5209]

Y'all Crazy if he doesn't Remind you of Chris Bosh !!!

[@TheRealParanaue]

I only have so much interest in any glory hog with little if any defensive instincts. If he can't be bothered to regularly communicate with his teammates or even cover the post or his man properly, then, he's a defective center.

[@nhojretsihksotneirrab7360]

[@tommygunnew7816]

Perry Jones part 2 Smh

CEILING(allstar): slower less talented kd w./ short hands(also NO-D)....

[@SanFranFan30]

Vlade seems to think he can play Small Forward. strange.

[@christianmalbroux8109]

Bruh don’t want to use his right hand at all... he allergic to it😂

[@PatchesOhoulihan159]

More Like Chris Bosh Than Ben Simmons

[@RJ-pk4jc]

Chris Bosh/Blake Griffin hybrid?

[@filipkonatar9972]

Bust

[@charleslee766]

So basically a more athletic less skilled Michael Beasley?

[@villainambitions]

My favorite prospect. I would take him #1 and i wouldn't be surprised if the Suns did draft him or found a way to move down for him. He's no secret here.

[@issacmcgann9918]

Overhyped Justice Winslow😴

[@ricochete5875]

You convinced Sacramento.

[@zigzag44444]

id take him number one he is special he has KD potential.

[@heruamun3690]

zach coates because he wears 35 or because he's tall & skinny? what are u smoking? He's a big who Can't shoot consistently with below average handles.. horrible comparison. KD is a 7' guard.

[@allencastro9344]

Hahahaha

[@danomaly8943]

He not gonna play much five especially early on. He gonna get buckets

[@yuch1102]

Amare didn't play defense either, so what's the big deal

[@yadayahshaabbanyasharaal]

Look more like Chris Bosh

[@juandissimo92]

Bruh if the Kings draft him ima be mad

[@gohmenghan4365]

He looks like the kat when playing

[@jacobreed93]

sac town

[@villainambitions]

Future Phoenix Sun?

[@JoseGonzalez-vj1ch]

Ayton

[@hush12hush]

How is he better than Mo Bamba?

[@40BOYZTV]

Please fall to the Hawks at 3

[@yoelgide4710]

40BOYZTV I’d rather us get Mo Bamba. I feel like Bagley is similar to Collins game. They’re both athletic bigs who don’t play defense.

[@40BOYZTV]

Yoel Gide I do agree they’re the same player but the NBA is position less basketball more than ever & it’s also caters to offensive ppl . Mamba just wasn’t great in college. My heart can’t take another potential pick . I. E Marvin Williams

[@martinblake2278]

Number 2? He won't do.

[@MichaelGBlight]

Can you please pause between sentences? I really like the insights, but it all came off as a jumbled mess.
