When A Draft Bust Becomes A Stud

Sorry it's been a bit! Had an army training. I was freezing the whole time 🥶

[@flightweed5186]

Maybe it’s because people are too quick to call people busts😂 Y’all gotta realize that not every player is supposed to be a top 10 player in the leauge

[@UnlimitedGlockz]

People tend to forget that a players development is more than a three year process.

[@bigbangbasketball]

Also players can help a team put in more ways than scoring

[@wzg8804]

Bro cmon. Jalen Suggs was a really good defender from the start of his career. Hes only getting better. Some people write these guys off way too early

[@bigbangbasketball]

He has winning in his DNA so he’ll be good

[@williamg7138]

​@bigbangbasketball he also has receding hairline in his DNA too 😮😂

[@area11_t36]

it’s cause guys like him get so hyped up by sports media like overtime, and ballislife at such a young age that if they don’t become a star like people said they would be he becomes another hype job. meanwhile, it’s on the next for those sports outlets.

[@Htiy]

⁠@@area11_t36facts people gotta start realizing that being a top 5 pick does not guarantee you become a superstar or even star at all. Even if every top 5 pick lived ip to the hype a decade of top 5 picks but means youre a top 50 player

[@animaroku]

He was one of the worst if not the worst player in the nba, when you consider his impact. (There were probably worse players than him, but they played 3 minutes a game so their negative impact was not that dramatic).. FYI - Garland was the worst player once, and has a similar story - a little bit faster and somewhat better. I mean - potential was there, but he was extremely raw

[@roymundy4122]

I want Deni on my 76ers so bad, he’s an all star with Jojo and Maxey perfect defense, passing, can handle when needed, great bball IQ with Nurse at the helm omg

[@elijahloquias1763]

He’s so good he’s like Franz Wager!!

[@opiniononion]

This is why I laugh at anyone that's already calling Scoot a bust

[@brandongordon2392]

He’s not a bust… but currently he’s trash…

[@joshmakeitrite]

damn... bro still a rookie lmao. of course he isn't dame but let the lil homie feel out the league lol

[@bigbangbasketball]

He’a not really in the best situation and he’s still young so time is on his side

[@teamsolo2698]

Cap

[@pancho8708]

If anyone can be a bust it will be scoot for sure. But hopefully he comes around

[@sebpalacio6310]

Chauncey tooks years to breakout Lauri became a 1st time all star at year 6.

[@jekufo]

Can't wait for Deni to average 20-6-8 (source: it came to me in a dream)

[@TREESEhoops]

JESSE WHATS UP!!!

[@joshuagarcia3499]

I'm so happy obi and deni are working out. I loved those guys at the draft cause big small forwards that can handle the ball are so cool to me.

[@xum0007]

Obi Toppin lowkey been playing like a pure 4 arguably 5 he’s just strong AFFF at the rim in Indiana

[@YoItzHail]

Bruh Suggs got injured 40 minutes after this video 💀

[@hypnosisbeats]

i blame this guy

[@theinktician]

If you're on your rookie contract, you cannot be considered a bust.

[@claysimonsen7532]

so youre still holding out hope for james wiseman?

[@micahlow2975]

@@claysimonsen7532 it'd be something if he was only getting garbage time minutes, but he's still getting minutes as a role player on the pistons. Bust? Not yet, Overdrafted? Yes.

[@orielya5624]

I love the deni avdija respect 🙏🙏

[@charlesnana.]

My day was saved by this upload, thank you Treese!, I really appreciate you ❤

[@thequixoticangler3364]

I was extremely high on Obi coming out. Then the Knicks got him. Got buried on the DC and had a coach who didn't like him. Now, in Indy, he's doing what hes best at: Running. Systems make studs, not the other way around.

[@rnuke_rocket]

I've always believed in Deni. Glad that he's finally showing improvements in offense.

[@area11_t36]

he still needs to improve is shot variety but he’s definitely got better

[@deweyb22]

Wow who would’ve thought a young guy needs a few years to find his footing in the league 🤯

[@bigbangbasketball]

It just goes to show that a new team can really elevate someone’s game

[@Akilan21]

I was mad at raptors at the draft for not takinf sugs, and man o man do i love the scottie pick now haha

[@OwskiiiGaming]

Them obi toppin predraft comparisons are hilarious.

[@FencingGold]

Great video bud. Thanks. It was entertaining and informative

[@theinktician]

If its not Fultz idc. Suggs was drafted 2 years ago. He couldn't be a bust if he WANTED to. He JUST finished his second year😂

[@yoAventus]

Deni will become a 20/10/8 guy inshallah it will be true

[@Dubaroo_]

Gotta add a pt 2 with guys like Coby white

[@JohnnyYeet123-sr8xk]

Darius Garland is a great example

[@trevormay101]

HELL YEA!!! Upload time🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ste4323]

Dante Exum has also bounced back after being out of the league

[@Buddha_Approved]

Pacers with the Pace control who da thunk it ❤😂:)

[@Amb252]

Jalen Suggs has always had potential he just needed to find his groove he wasnt a bad player especially not in college he was a beast in college his main flaw was his inconsistent jump shot he could do everything else including slash to the basket play defense and and setup his teammates for easy buckets his shot was kind of suspect I knew if he'd worked on his jumper I'd get better as player happy the magic didnt give up on him

[@malcomvulayon1990]

Coby White also making statement

[@Andrew-yc7cm]

Cade Cunningham still got time

[@maryortiz5806]

HE WAS NEVER A BUST 😭 i believed since the beginning. Im happy he's blossoming now

[@ckq]

Suggs started being good around March 2023 or so.

[@mulanomula]

tbh never considered Obi Toppin as a bust, the guy just never got any playing time but when he did he scored and played with very high efficiency.

[@Ghxst728]

i had told my cousins that he would be one of the best picks and it took some development but i am right

[@75aces97]

Was Suggs already considered a bust? His first 2 seasons were rough but he was still only 22 and his team didn’t give up on him. It’s one thing to write off Wiseman or Primo, but Suggs?

[@joshmakeitrite]

wiseman is only 22 and primo is only 20. those dudes could be lance stephenson-ish.

[@75aces97]

@@joshmakeitrite I don’t want to make too much of them because you never know a guy’s resolve or determination to bounce back, but the flag on Wiseman is that he washed out with GS, where almost everyone works. What these guys do in a game is the part of their career that we see, but it’s a sliver of what they do in a week. If you’re a 19 year old rookie you might not play much, but you still practice, work out, watch video, work with trainer. Primo was a reach. He has the off court stuff, but didn’t show much on the floor to make you overlook that. I’ve seen guys salvage careers after early disasters, so none of this is set in stone yet, but it’s as hard as it’s ever been to get a seat at the table in this league.

[@joshmakeitrite]

@75aces97 in defense of the other Joshes (Primo and Giddey)--you tend to do goofball ish when you're 20. Effort is a whole another thing. These guys have the natural body for it but we can only hope they are putting in the work. But it's true--we aren't seeing the practices and we don't know ish about their development until we see their games. These guys need to find mentors and use a part of their salary to hire their own development coaches and trainers.

[@Amb252]

Suggs had injuries

[@jejaian1841]

Well the Knicks didn't get rid off of Toppin it just happen that his agent requested a trade.

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

When a giraffe becomes a stud…

[@stevenmiller1203]

He was never a bust. He just never found a rhythm because of injuries

[@lee9617]

Honestly don’t think poole even really in the way of avdija he can also work off the ball and has been limiting shot attempts as of late

[@yunsukoh8602]

Hope Suggs’s ankle injury isn’t too serious

[@Now_To_Infinity]

It’s all about fit

[@That1GuyUNo]

Dam yall calling everyone a bust lol

[@mmldtop6005]

Before this draftclass gets drafted. My prediction was Mobley and suggs will become a superstar Cade,green,barnes would be multiple allstars. I didnt even know sengun or wagner at the time So far. I think sengun would become a superstar and wagner a multiple allstar

[@benjamin-kh1zz]

Dante exum as well

[@OwskiiiGaming]

How are you a bust after 2 years….

[@Wootensportscards]

I never understood how nba cant learn to play defense ..Its sad how they have a gift to play in the nba and throw it away because your soft and dont want to play D.

[@cursivewriting9315]

45 Fg from toppin unacceptable? He takes 2-3 three pointers a game how is that unacceptable?
