So Many Players Are BREAKING OUT This Season!

9 players are mentioned, and adding one more secret one would make it a top 10 list... so I'll throw an honorable mention to Ziaire Williams from the Grizzlies here in the description. -Rudy #basketball #commentary #nba

[@tas4999]

This season is definitely a transition period for the NBA, old stars get their final hurrah and new stars rise to their occasions

[@twofive9068]

Last season felt like a farewell tour for the 2010's era of NBA basketball, specially since a lot of the teams and players from that era started to show their age and definitely slowed down a bit. Now this season feels like the start of a new era for the next 10 years or so, with the guys in this video being the stars leading the way.

[@Daniel-jz9oi]

Tyler Herro is literally the most slept on player in the NBA. People forget he’s just 23 and has arguably been the best player for the Heat this season.

[@luisborges8643]

you cooked 🔥🔥🔥

[@semi6544]

Most productive doesn't mean best. If Herro is the best player on a team with Bam and Jimmy then the Heat could be the best team in the East. Playing great offense can't make you the best player on the team when the two other stars are excellent defenders as well as decent scorers.

[@dstreet4599]

It's not just the scoring increase, Herro's defense and playmaking (sans the 4th quarter against the Lakers yesterday) had noticeably improved.

[@semi6544]

@@dstreet4599 -- I'm sure they improved. I hope they improve. He had a lot of room for improvement. Bam and Jimmy have made All NBA teams. It is outrageous to say Herro is the best player on the team and the sample size is also too small. Herro got the deal he has because he had potential and he is reaching some of it now. He isn't the best player on the team and nor does he need the pressure of being the best. Smart veterans like Jimmy will let Herro shine and save his legs for later. Let Herro get the reps and take over when necessary. Let the young legs carry the team which is even less deep than it was last year.

[@nydibs]

hes not very efficient though, he just shoots a lot. 44% on 21 fga per game is not great

[@JeromeDukes]

When it comes to Scotties leap, it wasn't "people in Toronto" that lost confidence in him. That noise came from media and podcast out of the US. The Toronto market watches Scottie play all the time vs people out of the states that draw conclusion based on stats only.

[@fireshadowblade9]

Idk if this is a hot take or not, but if the Sixers manage to be a top 4 seed in the East, Nick Nurse should win COTY. Their offense is so much more fluid and changed drastically now that everyone gets touches and Doc and Harden are gone

[@davidarrington4144]

Devin Vassell. He's spent a lot of time injured and the spurs are still trying to figure out their roster (lots of players injured last year and lineups were all over the place). He will probably be the best player on the spurs this year and will be making multiple all star teams in his career, reminds me a bit of khris Middleton

For Breakout players, I feel like BI can hit that Superstardom, but idk. Tyrese seems like an obvious choice. Kat and Rudy G seems like an insane defensive duo this season. Rudy is first in defensive shares I believe and Kat is second. Dude if Kat continues like this while still doing his thing on offense? The Wolves finna be even more scary.

[@mohkamaltaha]

Scottie Barnes surprised the heck outta me, after his rookie of the year season, I thought "here we go, another promising career going down the drain" after last season , he's been average at best but credit to him, seems like he worked very hard on himself in the off season and is now fully reaping the rewards, leading the league in blocks per game too if I'm not mistaken which is insane for anyone who isn't a 7" center, genuinely happy for him.

[@Dawg476]

Tbh tho Fvv was bc a huge part of why he struggled last season. Scottie and OG were basically completely fazed out of the offence just standing around waiting for Pascal or Fvv playing hero ball. Hard to be engaged when your teammates don’t help you.

[@Killerqueen2000]

​​@@Dawg476 Siakam was since they had Dame playstyle and both couldn't shoot. Siakam rn is playing the same role Scottie was last season. When siakam had the ball.

[@verward]

@@Killerqueen2000 I had the suspicion last year, but I'm realising it is difficult to have both Siakam and Scottie at their full potential in the same line-up. Right now I think Scottie is just better, especially if he keep shooting like this, so they should experiment with benching Siakam and Gary Trent Jr out there. If they can get a package for Siakam they should.

[@verward]

Scottie is so fucking good right now I want them to flip Siakam for the highest bidder whoever that might be. I want a Scroder-trent-OG-Scottie-Poeltl line up. Get Siakam on the bench and show me what those 6 assists turn into with another shooter out there.

[@rowen4989]

Never forget people were calling scottie Barnes the next MCW💀

[@EagleLegend502]

Those Raptors fans who are doubters or haters of Our Boy Scottie are about to be traded to the Rockets where they can cheer for their lover boy the brick chucker himself. Selfish Fred. The only reason Scottie regressed was selfish Fred and Nurse created a toxic workplace environment for him. New coach good vibes and Scottie is Kawhi 2.0. It’s not just some dumb Raptors fans many in the media hate on him. Wish we could ship them to Houston too. Haters and Doubters to Barnes better keep those receipts. He is HIM and he’s about to take over the league. I also love what Maxey is doing. He’s a Sixers player but man I love his game.

Three reasons for why Scottie didn't take a step least year: 1. Nagging injuries 2. Fred VanVleet (bet on himself, not the team) 3. Nick Nurse's abysmal offense which didn't involve Scottie near enough.

Some advice from someone who considers himself a wonderful decorator (though, I never had a lesson) - take it, it is free: Add a fern on your right side and change the name of the channel name to Two Ferns and a Rusty Bucket.
