It's good to finally see u bro! I usually listen to your videos while driving, never seen you before! Keep up the great work!

[@nigel2648]

Thats hiw he looks 😂, i thought he was a nerdy dude with blond hair and glasses 😂

[@melvinjradornogalay]

This whole time I thought he was a 15 years old kid

[@TheHamburglarHelpster]

Me too 😂

Bra wtf😭

[@SinaSoh]

Pause

[@farrdawgjoker7087]

This class is rare because its defensive top heavy with only a few pure shooters and guys that can do it all themselves to be a stand out star from the start so we will just have to wait and see who turns out to be the hidden gems and total bust even though I don't think the pressure of being a top pick in this class will weigh down guys like in other years with star players on the board but since its drafting on potential maybe we get another Greek freak type of steal.

[@CJDeadeye777]

Great Vid Like Always!

[@brandonb.1386]

Rob Dillingham compares more favorably to Brandon Jennings than Lou Williams. He and Jennings share identical height and weight (6'1 164 lbs) and have very similar playing styles. Only difference is Jennings was a lefty.

[@johnhamilton2914]

Rob reminds me more of Sexton.

[@EDTheOneable]

​@@johnhamilton2914hell no.. Sexton is a much more physical guard and Dillingham is almost all finesse.

[@oluwatunmisebakare4565]

this draft feels like it will have a lot of 2nd or 3rd option players on winning teams. Not necessarily the highest ceiling for a lot of guys but definitely gonna be an interesting draft to look back on in the next five years. Also, looking good bro!

[@strawhatstep93]

Elite role player draft

[@Bangpaulxu]

Love all your videos. ❤❤❤❤

[@thenextlevelplay3519]

Most are saying that this class is weak, they're a monster defensively plus most are 3 and d. This class has potential, All 20 first picks deserves be on the top 10. A lot of steals and mindblowing moves by teams during this draft.

[@nigelchoruma1609]

Don’t believe that

My current big board 2024 NBA Draft 1a = Star potential and relatively safe high level role player floor 🤑 1b = Borderline Star potential and decent role player floor 🤩 1c = (A=np if they go as high as 3) Elite role player potential/some star outcomes and various floors 😤 1d = Elite role player potential shakey floor🥺 2a= Should stick in NBA and decent to good upside 🥳 2b= Flawed players but clear path to an NBA rotation 😎 2c= Backups/Boom or bust flyers 🤤 2d=A bench role very possible 🥱 3a= Who?

[@moezoun]

I love your content. If you are going to show your face more regularly, have you ever considered getting a teleprompter?

[@sapasaja1640]

im still not used to with the face tbh

[@pg13pacernation30]

Alex Sarr Ceiling: Borderline all-star level impact with the versatility and rim protection to make a couple of all-defense teams.

[@justincollera3010]

The face reveal intros are refreshing. It's not just a VO now. Keep it up brother

[@ram1483]

A shallow draft class based on paper , but don't forget about possibilities.

[@aaronpeters6209]

Probably better to preface these are comparisons if a certain realistic ideal is met. As both know more than half of these may do little other than be reserves at the next level. Idk about the sheppard/White comparison. But, I haven't Sheppard play. But is Sheppard defense that great + a bit smaller, correct? Maybe VanVleet instead?

[@GOATplayzYT-670]

This year’s NBA draft is gonna SUCK😂

[@vokenfinnesin9197]

wrong

[@therealneal3034]

is it because there's one player living rent free in your head because you don't like his dad?

[@anthonysalvato6537]

Ok sure it doesn’t have much blue chip talent. But it’s gonna have good role players that come out of it and some all stars. Yes it is weaker than the last draft, but that doesn’t mean there will be no good players.

[@nitoshadow]

You don’t know that until a few years laters You never know until you see how the players pan out

[@lulbaby_1626]

your mother and this draft class have something in common 🥹

[@bedstuy4_l895]

Only one comparison here that has been an All-Star, and only one other comparison that even has a chance of ever making an All-Star. Damn.

[@Gkok]

Dalton Knecht is the most safe bet in this year's draft.

[@InkIsPink]

i like all of these, but i think castles shooting is definitely worse than bruce browns lol he definitely has a low floor if he can manage his talent well

[@leoldjames4741]

Stephon Castle IS GOING TO BE A SUPERSTAR

[@fromisgunner]

Clingan is like pre-shooter Marc Gasol

[@icelovefireice]

Some mock drafts and other spurs fans wants Castle at 4 but compares to bruce brown lol. No hate to bruce brown, he is good but picking at 4 is ridiculous.

[@Saylesshawt]

rob dillingham = ish smith

[@casualgamer177]

Comparing reed to Derick white says all I need to know about your basketball evaluation abilities. Reed is Jimmer Ferdette 2.0 and will eventually be playing in china

[@rapdota07]

Damn looks like a draft of role players.

[@bedstuy4_l895]

Reed Sheppard is an underrated defender but not to the point where he should be getting Derrick White comps, I honestly see him as more of like a Tyrese Haliburton. Devin Carter is more like Derrick White

[@TheFocuslja]

Reed Sheppard = Malachi Flynn = Jameer Nelson

[@almostwoke2152]

This draft class is ash

[@EdGarcia01]

It’s always so funny to me how white players always get compared to other white players😂😂😂😂

[@Foulanguagetv]

I thought the homie was Asian for years now

[@thecoolrich]

Jump scare

[@EEazyM0neySniper35]

Rob Dillingham reminds me more of a Tyrese Maxey, but maybe it's cause they both went to Kentucky.

[@EDTheOneable]

Yeah not even close outside of shooting the ball. Maxey is about 2 inches taller with a longer wingspan, has another level of downhill speed, athleticism, and physicality. Legit a 40lbs weight difference with these two guys. Rob is more like a Lou Will type.

[@groceries4865]

you look like if bajancanadian had a silky smooth jump shot

[@michael_d.jordan]

You forgot Bronny - FlightReact

[@gifffrancisgocon1994]

wheres tidjane salaun comparison ?

Reed is like Mark Price

[@chrislewis5069]

Stephon castle was not surrounded by any guards that were special or had more scoring consideration than him.

L Take Liverpool is better

[@scootover7]

1) Sarr- JJJ 2) Risacher- MPJ 3) Clingan- Steven Adams 4) Sheppard- Derrick White 5) Castle- bigger Marcus Smart 6) Dillingham- Brandon Jennings or Lou Williams

[@Greg3G1G3]

No way that's yo voice show the real you

[@homerthompson416]

Risacher seems like North Carolina Harrison Barnes but with less defense and yet he's probably going #1. LOL what a disappointing draft. Everyone who was supposed to be good early on from Holland to Collier to Topic to Cody Williams has fallen off hard.

[@cedricmurph]

Rob Dillingham = Collin Sexton

[@jonsin7697]

Rob Dillingham plays like Brandon Jennings. He plays nothing like Lou Williams.

[@kevindevlieger300]

Ofcourse Knecht is going to be a 6th man. It's in his name. 🤣 Ps. Translate his name from dutch. 😉
