[@blondeucus8121]

the comparison to the girl w good taste in movies and music hit me

[@Blairskirock]

Why was that girlfriend analogy so accurate and oddly vivid?

[@lochlainnoleary8978]

That shit hurt man

[@noahraymond244]

Currently going back and rewatching every single player breakdown from last year and the year before. I’ve watched each probably at least 5 times. You’re the best channel on KZbin. I NEED new breakdowns ASAP the lamelo one was amazing.

[@thedimedrop8153]

Check the ringers youtube

[@theusk1237]

3 years later and you were absolutely correct my mann

[@CowbellkingdomTV]

Another dope video😎🔥 Hottest basketball channel on YT right now💯

[@JoshuaFrick3]

+Cowbell Kingdom No Lie

[@theextermina6677]

What happened to him

[@TunezCottage]

wow that is one sweaty coach, I bet he's sweating more than some of his players.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

TunezCottage lol. Get off my coach.

[@iamthekulture3822]

Coming back to this it’s nice to see how everything he said his true, the issues with Ayton are that he isn’t luka, his defense, and his lack of touches… very insightful

[@pimpnamedslickback7780]

His lack of drive is the biggest problem

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

Was literally hitting a bong when that shot of a guy hitting a bong came up. It was weird. Even weirder because well, I was high.

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

Ha! Great work. Love your content. Really high level analysis. I've shot/cut sports for almost 20 years for CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, & MLB and love to help out if you ever need some. Again great work. Go Knicks!

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

Ha, did I just apply for a job after admitting to drug abuse?? LMAO.

[@the1reef.243]

Much better than what ESPN’s DraftExpress had to offer. You really go into depth with the analysis with these draft prospects. Marvin Bagley III is the one I believe who have the best career in this draft class.

[@mitchellellicott1787]

In the modern NBA the essentials I want out of my C is rim protection, defence and rebounding. I think the "need" to have a shooting centre is overstated today. Its nice to have but not necessary for a winning team. When was the last time there was a shooting centre in the NBA finals? The closest you have to this is all Horford and Embiid. Both can shoot from deep but more importantly both are terrific defenders. The reason that the jazz are better than the Twolves is because Gobert's D is more important to winning than Towns' shooting. Also I think it's a big reason why Demarcus Cousins has never played in a post season.

[@ssholla92]

Isn't Towns 3 yrs younger than Gobert and been in the league 2 years less? Give him time. There has been a trend of centers value being diminished over the past years, but it's also corresponded with the lack of quality elite centers coming into the league. There are a number of quality young centers that have recently come into the league. I wouldn't bet against them starting to take over. Jokic, Anthony Davis, KAT, Embiid, and Ayton will be with them soon as well as probably another couple from this draft. I think teams will start to punish those small ball teams with a dominate center that doesn't need to be taken out of the game in the 4th over ft shooting worries, but instead will force teams to match up with them with their 7th or 8th best player being forced into minutes and service.

[@mitchellellicott1787]

Steve Holler yeah I totally agree with you. Towns has way more upside and can become a defensive anchor in the future but I wasn't really talking about potential I was more referencing what they provide for their teams now. How a team that has its 2nd player that is a C with a tremendous offence skill set has less success than a team where their 2nd best player is a C with very limited offence capabilities. I also agree that the raise of the guards and the decline of bigs has to do with a lack of talent and the talent that is there getting injured i.e. oden, Dwight, bynum, Ming, Bogut. Doesnt take away the importance of having a rim protector and defensive anchor down low.

[@jonathanexceus9765]

Mitchell Ellicott i think the fact boogie cousins hasnt been in the playoffs is more cuz hes played on the kings his whole career up until now and then got injured cuz the kings are just awful and dont know how to draft either but i do agree with your main point

[@ej5417]

deandre is 7’1 and he‘s not even in the league yet, he’s not a rim protector not because he is not athletic (like okafor, or jokic) or because he has a short wingspan (like griffin) the lack of defensive fundamentals and instinct in a young big coming into the league are very common and usually fixed by their coaches in a couple of years after their his rookie year, so there is nothing to worry about his rim protection in the future

[@mitchellellicott1787]

jonathan exceus the kings are awful you're right.

[@Dill40k]

boogie nights lmao, the reference game is strong with you

[@LamparTusc]

I agree with Ayton's weakness on defense is his defensive iq, but that can 100% be improved upon with nba level coaches and I think he will figure it out in a season or two. cant wait for him and book to make us good again.

[@theory0723]

Extremely underrated channel. Hope your channel grows man, cause we all see the work you’re putting into these videos. Keep on grinding fam!

[@DougieBuckets22]

do a mock draft!

[@cameronbernardo]

Great insightful set of videos for the draft, keep it up man. It's hard to get this kinda quality basketball content without a ton of bias.

[@AR-io8fv]

It’s taken me so long to find a content creator who was not only talented at the KZbin medium, but also clearly understands the beauty and nuances of basketball. I would love to see you break down Kyrie’s mind-numbing scoring skill set at some point next season!

[@rajsb5733]

It’d be cool if you did some videos on some rookies that are already in the NBA but didn’t get a chance to show their stuff much like Fultz and Fox.

[@Lolroi19]

I’ll be proud to say I was here before 4K when this channel blows up

[@vakke]

Your videos have popped out of no where for me. Saw one, had to watch another, watchetd all of them and subscribed. Keep up the great work and enjoy every moment!

This like watching draft express with Mike Schultz all over again but with personality. You’re Gonna be working with ESPN in a few years if you keep the great work man.

[@averagejoe8590]

I would love to see more of these videos. This is really getting me hyped for the draft and learning more about these soon-to-be NBA players is getting me even more excited! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@corduroycrook]

Honestly playing soccer would help so much with alot of athletes foot work. People ask wheres the athleticism in soccer and its right there footwork, agility, low center of gravity, and overall mobility are the most important/trained aspects of soccer at any level. Just look at guys like giannis kobe Joel Embiid and Hakeem the footwork and balance on these guys are immaculate.

[@ThisNameWasTaken0]

I’ve been waiting for a video on DeAndre Ayton 💪🏻 thanks for the video!

[@robertinabinett4572]

I love seeing your channel slowly growing in subscribers. Awesome analysis on all of your videos. Keep up the good work bro.

[@andrewsharpe3934]

Once again another good video and glad to see that these videos are starting to gain some popularity👏🏿well deserved

[@scottkragerud]

Dude you make really high quality videos, how aren't you bigger??? Keep it up brother

[@hto560]

It’s interesting watching these after the players have made it to the league

[@flyesthuman]

This channel will blow up soon, super great quality videos

[@eetfree23]

Shoutout to KZbin for recommending this channel . Just watched all your other videos and subscribed. Hopefully you do one on JJJ soon!!

[@marinonop3964]

I just discovered this channel, subbed. Will be huge sooner than latet keep up the great work!

[@wavyiann9788]

2:56 funny how you showed that clip in a video about deandre ayton...

[@thedimedrop8153]

Yeah that’s a good point

[@traeyoungshair1023]

Props for the MM reference. Excellent video man, keep up the good work.

[@rajsb5733]

This is a great channel, you really know your stuff. I wish the best for this channel.

[@gshivs793]

Bagley WILL avg 20 and 10 and be solid his whole career. Ayrton COULD avg 25 and 13 and be a hall of famer. The difference is the potential/ceiling is higher with Ayton. Both are cant miss prospects

[@clarkjonathan702]

G Shivs Bagley averaged more in a tougher conference and he shoots better and more efficient in college

[@devina.baylon4453]

Idk bro bagley has hard work and has overall better skill which beat out physical tools anyday

[@joflow619]

Word Bagley is gonna be better watch

[@mistaspot1]

Ayton could very easily turn into Andre Drummond who isn't that impactful overall.

[@phoenixhelmbrecht4042]

look at bagleys per 36, the kings are not really using him

[@bilotto93]

Great analysis as always dude, keep it up! Will you do next Wendell Carter and Miles Bridges?

[@joshnyamburi]

Dude is built like the Admiral. I wonder if he’ll also put out a commercial about not drinking at prom😂

[@BigBrumGames]

Another great video! Still waiting on that Jaden McDaniels vid as well! Can’t wait to check out the podcast

[@arvidmikkers790]

Yo, love your channel. Love how you don’t get distracted by hype and very real just identifies the plusses and minuses of players. Taking time on each player. Furthermore on the giveaway, I live in The Netherlands so I don’t know if that is a problem. This summer I’ll be in the US tho so if you prefer not to ship to the Netherlands of o get selected we can make it work as well. So this year I have been an enormous fan of Donovan Mitchell, but since they only sell like jerseys of the lebron james’ en the curry’s of the world, I wasn’t able to buy one up until this point.

[@halfbaked2406]

Quality content and insightful commentary, keep it up man!

[@maxmeier532]

I feel kinda flattered and dissed. I have been that exact same sweaty button down shirt guy and the guy with the way too big bong. On different occasions. Anyway, I think one of the biggest factors in deciding who you pick in the draft is their injury history respectively their risk of future injury, perhaps even just calculated on the base of their physiognomy. In the history of the draft there were some major failed picks who crushed the teams because they were injured so often, yet were a top 10 pick first round. That becomes misery for years to come when you waste a pick on De'glassknee Spinal Injury the third.

[@florianzurfluh8767]

Clint Capela played soccer to😳

[@tristanandrechavez]

Man, this is fun and informative at the same time 👌 keep it up

[@gbrl433]

That beat is crazy

[@ihearyoupierce]

I understood that reference...

[@glenkaelin8347]

And I understood that reference

[@ConnorWilson-gx1rg]

A 7 Footer with a 43 inch vertical? What are kids eating these days?

[@ahbabaziz]

...

[@kevins2813]

other kids probably. It's the only logical explanation.

[@richardanthonypangilinan9331]

I don't normally post comments, but I just feel Like I have to. Dude, you're really good at what you're doing. Keep at it!

[@MookelDookel5623]

I love your work, dude. Congrats on the Ringer spot.

[@BRYCEMAN45654]

What softwares do you use to create these videos? Also I love your channel and I'm glad I have found it!

[@alexrobinson7127]

his defense is a killer. the reason embiid and ad are so much more dominate than kat/jokic is their defense ability. hell capela and horford are more playable than kat b/c of how well they plays defense.

[@nmarbletoe8210]

i think he's just mentally lost sometimes like this guy said, so when he figures out the game more, he'll be better on D. he started bball late in life, like only 5-6 years ago and he's only 20. people forget he's that young because of his mature appearance and cut.

[@nmarbletoe8210]

oh yeah also the coach at UA may not be that great at developing players among other things, though he is a great recruiter

[@orionl1769]

I feel like Ayton can steadily improve his defensive potential while utilizing his gifts in the most effective way possible by watching more and more film. I feel like he can fully explore what he is capable of while deepening his Basketball IQ if he has the hoped passion for the game and continues to "sharpen his tools" the most he can.

[@anothrdude]

The production on these videos is great

[@zPvQi]

I’d love to watch you do some breakdowns of some of the Greats before they were drafted, and maybe some busts too. Just like something to compare these breakdowns to

[@nicholasgentry5075]

Insightful as always. Are you planning to start these profiles earlier next year so you can cover more of the class?

[@djandres6847]

Your Vids are 💯🔥 Unlike today’s game.. Keep postin’!!

[@tjschneider8681]

Killing it bro!

[@Bc232klm]

Love the RawOG420 cameo!

[@TheBlueDevilDuke]

Had me weak

[@jamesjuarez7032]

I love your content and your so knowledgeable you’re gonna be big soon

[@TheFilmSpace1]

Great video! Ayton has many skills. The Suns are going to have to use him right but I think he will be good.

[@funzy1999]

Also this channel is VERY good and I want you to continue. Thank you.

[@wesswll1]

Shout out for the Modest Mouse reference

[@MsMrapplepie]

Underrated channel. Totally subscribing.

[@williamjackson5421]

defense is troubling. always fear the modern star center need for "touches". potential the perfect modern big. rolls/sets screens like Clint/DJ/prime Howard finishes like them as well. also spot up three.

[@finnsawyer2239]

that beat claps

[@jojokabo78]

The Ringer should write you a blank cheque my man. Top notch videos

[@kevinyunbro]

He lands dangerously like drose before injury!!

[@Barncore]

I was thinking the same thing. His legs are stiff when he lands

[@carlj4794]

remember greg oden

[@Brandon-gz5en]

Your blowing up, I love it. Could you break down Jerome Robinson? I know his brother so it would be cool.

[@meeksman2488]

I love your videos dude keep it up

[@HelgeStrichen]

You kinda made fun of your oen obseravtion, but i've been convinced for years that soccer, and other sports are a huge advantag in these guys development. I'm also pretty sure jokic played (european) handball by the looks of his passes

[@Maxg2311]

I think whatever it is that he lacks either effort or a basketball instinct is almost jaw-dropping. If you watch him in high school even you see him make the same mistakes shown here whatever the issue is I hope the Suns or the Kings can figure it out, but that being said if its not figured out he will be on shaqtin a fool weekly for just having his big ass standing in the paint.

[@dewightflinch7709]

Love your videos!! Why didn’t you do one on JJJ?

[@venod3134]

In the running for best NBA KZbin. Excellent content. And 43 1/2' vert at 7' 1" is comparable to who in NBA history?

[@TheBlueDevilDuke]

Bong rip got me weak lmao

[@gta4life112]

Really glad I found this channel!@

[@nasholston5112]

Those defensive highlights are scary

[@JoshuaFrick3]

+The Dime Drop The Boogie Nights reference was Top Notch my friend.

[@bookert9533]

Watched this one twice! Good stuff. I like Luka like many others, but the Suns just can't pass over Ayton.

[@Veggamattic]

Another great job! Another great video!

[@ThePinoyBoss]

looking at the comp cloud, you see how good Ayton is b/c the worst player there is Andrew Bynum, decent center who rivaled Dwight Howard for best center for a second. bynum had attitude problems, but it was mostly injuries that held him back the most. so, given that, Ayton seems like he'll be alright

[@KJ-yn8pr]

Brandon Martin woaaahh calm down my guy

[@sulley119]

Been waiting for this one!

[@ishaanbal919]

Ceiling- Joel Embiid Floor- Jahlil Okafor

[@josephpellegrene9701]

I love your channel bro!

[@dunkonomics]

In this modern NBA I want guards and wings with long wingspan, shoot, good handles, play makers with draymond green defensive instincts.

[@jnest5547]

He's super skilled and great potential, but I've got that weird feeling too. I feel like he doesn't have that grit to be a leader. Like the way people clown Andrew Bynum and Dwight Howard for not demanding the ball and dominating every single possession. I hope he has that killer in him and a great coaching staff around him

[@kevins2813]

Didn't shoot as much as he could have at Arizona for a few reasons. 1. Guards were terrible at entry passes. 2. Trier can score but he's a ballhog. 3. Got double teamed all the time. 4. Played next to a center that clogged the paint a bit. Could definitely put some blame on Miller for that too.

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

you re analysis is great

[@GREG_GXRY]

He’s like Embiid on offense and Jahlil Okafor on defense

[@youngvalentino43]

Greg noooooo he’s not that bad

[@nicholas72611]

stupid asf jah is way worse on D

[@jefversavel9475]

at least deandre has the physical tools

[@devina.baylon4453]

Jef Versavel so did Okafor

[@nicholas72611]

Devin A. Baylon jah didn't have the lateral quickness or the 40+ inch vertical and athleticism Ayton has

[@DFWMKTFO]

he reminds me of David Robinson

[@aarontan2197]

reek tha don yea. The offense and looks minus the defense

[@cobra7282]

Reminds me a little of Ewing.

[@joeyvast]

Robinson and Ewing were defensive monsters though. I'm not sold on Ayton because he seems to be a defensive liability.

[@Lewis.Alcindor]

reek tha don The Admiral is the first comparison I thought of. Both of them have that somewhat disinterested look to them, whether on offense or defense. And both possess a strong face-up game and a sweet mid-range stroke. The difference, though, is that Ayton is less polished right now (he's just about to turn 20, so there's time) and he seems to be lacking the extra awareness and gear on defense. Robinson wasn't exactly a shutdown guy on defense - he always seemed a bit passive in allowing his man to get deep into the paint. But he made up for that with his quick hands and quick leaping ability, which allowed him to get blocks and steals. Ayton is similarly passive, but doesn't have the awareness nor quickness to make up for it right now. Based on what I'm seeing here, he mostly needs to increase his situational awareness via tape reviews and practice defensive drills.

What do you think of the kawhi situation? That would be a good video

[@richardnelson26]

Love your vids. But in the Bagley video you said you’d pick him over Ayton for Suns 🤨.

[@kalebbradford2607]

Ayton will be dominant one day
