What Makes Darius Garland So Good?

[@youtubewatcherforfun]

One of the low key qualities he has is that he knows when to attack and when to shoot from range. If the opponent has a taller rim protector you can bet the over on his 3s. If the other team is small ball you know he is cutting tot he rim. Sweet video

[@romanreigns1p4pking55]

Just be honest, he came out the womb w abilities others didn’t.

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

Darius has ALWAYS had a strong basketball foundation as far back as elementary school. I've been keeping up with him since then. His father, Winston Garland, was an NBA guard, so Darius having a strong basketball foundation early on, in my eyes, due to his basketball background. His handles has always been tight, a great shooter, a great playmaker and high basketball IQ. I believe it was more about adjustment to the pro level than inefficiency. Every player has, had to, and will continue to adjust when they enter the NBA. once he adjusted, his efficiency improved. However, he's a very fundamental player.

[@yunan9610]

He's an ideal point guard for the modern NBA

Thanks for the video! I think Darius Garland is going to blow up and become one of the best point guards in the league. Go Cavs!!

[@zac_m]

Really interesting, well made video. The Cavs are really exciting.

I agree. He reminds me of a young CP3 without the defense

Keep in mind Garland doesn't have spacing yet. His best catch and shoot three point shooters were Lauri and Cedi who both shot around 38 percent.

[@CaprisunFRFX]

W Garland video, would be cool to see a video on Desmond Bane or on Jamal Murray/Michael Porter Jr to hype up the Nuggets next season

[@spencerpremier]

Keep making the garland videos because they will blow up this year

[@EnvyTraxus]

surprised to hear his TS is league average because when you look at the 2p%, 3p%, and ft, it's at 51/38/89 which is amazing, especially for a 6-1 guard

[@yunan9610]

It's his rim finishing as the video said

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

@@yunan9610 Many guards his size are worst at the rim. His finishing at the rim is typical. This dude just has high standards for guards finishing at a high percentage at the rim but that's very difficult when you have bigs meeting you there.

[@yunan9610]

@@j-us-t_be-in-g I'm just saying that might've been the cause for his TS% being on league average even with how efficient his split stats are. The number of FT attempt could also be the cause, it might be so low that it doesn't really bump up his true shooting percentage. With that being said I don't know the actual stats and I just pointed out the rim finishing cause it's on the video, but idk if his standards are high or not unless I have the actual stats for the best guards in the league. Then again it's not really about how good he is, it's about the TS being on league average

[@yunan9610]

@@j-us-t_be-in-g okay I just checked his FT attempts is at 3.5 which is on the lower side even with 89% FT percentage. His effective field goal percentage is actually pretty good at 53.6%

[@x0x0skiller2]

He has to get to the foul line more frequently if he really wants to get it up

[@kobethelegend0824]

Love your channel bro, keep it up!

[@thedistantprinceinyouremai6345]

His game is so nice to watch, he basically built the entire cavs offense last year. I think he’ll work well with Ochai Agbaji if they end up playing a lot together as both (hopefully) present a major outside shooting threat

[@thetruthspoken1]

The Cavs run a 3 big man lineup with Lauri at the 3.

[@lucianspalla4505]

reminds me of a young Chris paul in that he scores very well by leveraging how good he is a passing. Hes also one of the better pick and roll guards in the league

[@amirigordon7230]

[@hold_that_h3at]

Young Chris Paul without the defensive and all around game of Cp3. I think Nash is a better comparison for DG

[@YodaSmokes]

I wouldn’t say quietly. He can honestly have the best career of any young guard rn

[@ballinboxer3676]

Well, since he's in Cleveland and not named Lebron then more likely than not he'll have a VERY quiet career. Multiple all-star seasons for sure but quiet nonetheless.
