@@edubvb5193 yeah coming from a cavs fan, DG had a rough first year and even took some time getting his footing his second year. usually by the 3rd year is when we really see guards come into their own
Despite being lucky with a bunch of injuries happened in Grizzlies, GG mentality to step up filling the hole in Grizzlies rooster is incredible. I believe he could be something in the future of NBA. Undoubtedly he is the biggest steal in 2023 NBA draft class.
yall talking shit on scoot as if it’s not incredibly common for rookie guards to start off slow - we’ve seen many times how a rookie season doesn’t define ur career trajectory
Right he got plenty years to get right it’s crazy you gotta start off good to not be call a bust Brandon miller start going crazy second half of the season so did scoot they was getting better
Because he was being hyped like an sga or ja morant. If you can accept praise then you should be able to accept criticism and vice versa. Simple as that.
@@pv2639 do u think shai and ja are who they are now in their rookie year? no lmao rookie guards especially specifically the athletic ones are notoriously for taking a few seasons to show up- he’s also not in the best position team wise it’s a team full of talented young guards who will probably draft another talented young guard (cus they’re stupid)
If his potential is a non efficient under size guard like Westbrook I’m not high on that all. Also for someone who was playing nba comp for 2 years with the ignite team is kinda disappointing. Me personally was never high on him I think he can be a solid 6 man
5:18 I mean there is. The first 20 games of the season he averaged 11 on 37% from the field and 25% from three. In his last 20 he averaged 16 on 40% from the field and 34% from three, and add 7 apg to that as well. I feel like people were too quick to write him off and didn’t really give him a chance after that abysmal start but after awhile he found some comfort in the league. Although his percentages still aren’t great, you can obviously see an improvement and I feel like that speaks volumes as a rookie and he’s proved himself to be a top 3 player in this draft.
@@KimAngeloCruz nah man u just don’t watch jazz game ay love keyonte but yk why he’s not on the list he was inconsistent all season the defence was bad and he led rookie gaurds in turnovers to assists n was 3rd in total turnovers for rookies he has a negative defence and offence win share on a jazz team that started hot then they started playing him n losing😭he’s got good upside but he shoots almost as bad as scoot from the field with worse averages n more minutes💀
Scoot defender here; everyone saying he is a bust and a bad pick from Portland is insane. Yes he has not been that good his rookie season, but he is a 20 year old guard who is the only rookie to have games with over 15 points and 10 assists, and he had like 4 of them. Not every player can come in and immediately dominate. Look at Shai’s, Haliburton, dj murray, Bradley Beal and many others rookie seasons. His two way ability and physical tools make his potential a lot higher than everyone makes it seem like.
He's the only rookie because the next best guard is like 15 spots down. They're all Centers, Forwards or Wings Wemby: C Miller: F Amen: F Ausar: F Black: SG Coulibaly: F Jarace: F Wallace: F Howard: F Lively: C Dick: SG Hawkins: SG Bufkin: PG.

3:57 I’m a Hornets fan that wanted the team to draft Scoot. I wasn’t against drafting Brandon. But I thought Scoot would make a good running mate, and insurance policy for LaMelo. I still think Scoot will be a really good player. But I am really excited to see Brandon Miller continue to develop in Charlotte. He’s already a solid 3 level scorer. And if he keeps working hard, he’ll be a beast sooner rather than later.
They played like usual rookies do, but when you’re compared next to Wembanyama, a once in an lifetime player, it’s easy for them to look like they flopped or ain’t doing enough. I think they’re mostly all right on track

Almost all PGs start their career slow, because PGs have more responsibilities than any other position can't really gauge them in just one year, that's why rebuilds are long because if you draft the wrong PG it's going to be another few years to train another one.
Stop spreading false information. Sengun was the first person to develop chemistry with amen and they both thrived off eachother. So don’t say amen didn’t get the opportunity till Sengun went down because that is not true. Amen was getting 20 MPG before Sengun got hurt
Portland expecting the same things from Scoot that they got from Dame is the issue. He's not a shooter, more of a Westbrook build if you ask me. Change the gameplan next year and he'll show up.
It was probably better for him to be drafted lower. Maybe late first round/early second round. That's too much pressure, the guy is a hardworker and is humble, being downplayed probably played a role into his humility. He's an underdog, he might not be an underdog if he was recognized.
He already got paid decently for a late second rounder so it don’t matter now definitely gonna make 3x+ the money back he would of made as a top pick after his extension
Honestly,Amen was playing better defense at the end of the year he probably had a real case to to make a defensive team and with the Rockettes he’s an excellent Swiss Army knife player and he was playing more like a four they use them kind of like Aaron Gordon
Amen is a better defender than Ausar. The reason you did not know that is because you watched Thinking Basketball's video back in November. At that time, AMEN WAS INJURED!!!!! If Amen was healthy back in November, Amen would have been in the video INSTEAD of Ausar.
Ummm. Ausar had to deal with an injury, not to mention dealing with monte Williams all season. Pretty sure monte had no real belief in ausar from what i remember early in the season. Same with most of detroits team, lots of injuries and had monte as coach.
Coulibaly is pretty understandable, Hawkins is way more questionable, Bilal's stats don't jump off the page but his ceiling is still much higher than George's. He is a much better defender than Keyonte and has a lot more physical tools.
@@kalebnaylor4928 did you watch any games go look at his game logs he would have stretches of over 4 to and he would constantly try to play iso ball when he had players open
I don't get Jimmer's concerns... Scoot is still the right pick at 3 easily because of his upside. Sure players like Amen, Lively, and Jaquez outplayed him this year in terms of value, but Scoot is playing on a rebuilding team with injuries and tons of lineup changes. Even still, he led all rookies in APG even having a game with 14. His shooting was abhorrent but his free throw percentage was elite showing that his shooting numbers 'should' turn around with coaching and experience. I'd still prefer Scoot over all the other players after him just based on his upside. The only rookie PG that actually had a better season overall was Amen and his FT and 3pt shooting is even worse....
thing is, amen has as high of an upside, if not higher. he just needs to get his shot down and he could be in all nba convos. amen is a better defender, taller and could be a better shooter down the line
@@yvi7k I agree that he also has a really high upside but the thing with shooting is this: Free throw shooting is a really good predictor of how "fixable" your shot can be. Since Scoot's is way better already, I see his shot improving faster and to a higher degree especially when Scoot isn't asked to be such a high level playmaker this early in his career i.e., they get players to surround him with like Amen currently has with Sengun and Green.
No real reason to think Raptors would pick someone else at this point. I had honestly given up on Dick but he did well enough in second half of the season and he always did display high IQ even when he was struggling with his confidence that at #13, he's still the guy.
Victor, Miller, Jaime, Lively. Lmao Lively plays better and is a pivotal part of the Mavs compare to the likes of Amen, Whitmore, etc. Having him 1b instead and with guys like Scott being 1a is atrocious.
@@leonarronquillo593 This is for long long term and I really don’t think you know what you are talking about no offense. Amen and Whitmore have All-Star potential they are freak athletes and Scoot still does. I like Lively but long term he’s likely to just a be a quality starting center and Jaquez is 23 already and wasn’t that good the 2nd half of the season and has lower upside he’s just a good role player don’t get fooled by bad takes from some media ppl
@@bkelly625 Amen and Whitmore has all-star potential??? Based on what?? They are literally not getting any playing time. Meanwhile, Lively has proven from the get go he can be a good complementary player despite being a rookie. If the likes of Jason Kidd, Kyrie Irving, and Tyson Chandler trusts Lively to perform well, how the heck would he be less of a player than the likes of Whitmore, etc. They were given playing time by their respective teams but wasn't able to do jack shit despite their respective teams on a rebuilding mode. Meanwhile, Lively showed from his first game he can be a quality center moving forward. 2nd half Jaime, I can give you that. He regressed a bit in the latter part of the season but he still better than the likes of Whitmore. lmao.
The stupidity. He was looking like he was putting it together at the end when he didnt have to play with simons. Plus the first games dont count. He didnt have glasses.
Yeah I'll be just fine staying hating on the Blazers and their trash ass team. won't be no need to switch up because they ain't doin shit with that team
I wonder how many players age 25+ who are in the nba got picked in the 1st round. It would be interesting to know wich pick is in the long run most valuable.
Went to school with brandon miller, always knew he would go to the league, watching him play in middle school and high school bro was a cheat code literally!! Proud of bro thoe nobody really made it out from where we from
I know some players didn't live up to expectations but it's only year 1 and some players dont get playing time to their potential like black, Howard, whitmore
Suggs seemed like a bust in his first two years, but he's now the third-best player on the Magic roster,improved as a shooter and potentially 1st team all defensive.Similarly, Garland was like a bust too especially with Sexton averaging 20 points, but when Sexton got injured, Garland got more playing time, thrived, and became an All-Star. Portland is in a similar situation with two 20-point scorers in Simons and Grant. When they were injured, Scoot started to looking like a third overall pick player. So, let's give Scoot some time and hope Portland trading their veterans to pass the torch to Scott and Sharpe.
17-4-2 44%fg 37%3p vs 14-3-5 40%fg 32%3p but scoot gets hate for being in a worse team which explains his +\- and he’s the best playmaker of the draft class with the trash they had around him and the only person you could start to rebuild around other than wemby
Scott Henderson improved a lot towards the end of the year I think his year 2 leap is gonna be good.. plus he still just turned 20 a few months ago people said the same thing about Cade a lot of yall been spoiled from these young guards actually starting they careers very good like a Ja morant Shai Luka Trae young etc and those are all superstars all nba guys so bashing Scott Henderson and saying he should of not been a top pick is foolish
"Always draft the best available" is a lazy, subjective approach. The "best player" isn't always clearly distinguishable. The Hornets nailed their pick and the Blazers set themselves back atleast another year. I was excited to see Anfernee, Shaedon and Amen suit up together.
Scoot is not bad he just shouldn’t have been picked where he was picked at. This equivalent to drafting a running back in rd1 and you find out hes not better than your undrafted rb
Almost all PGs start their career slow, because PGs have more responsibilities than any other position cant really gauge them in just one year, that's why rebuilds are long because if you draft the wrong PG it's going to be another few years to train another one.
For those who pretend nobody said Scoot was better than Wemby, go back to pre draft videos : many people said Scoot must be #1 seed at the draft before Wemby. They were already less after the 2 games between Mets92 and GL Ignite but they were numerous amongst american posters. Many said Wemby would be too soft or he would be broken after 3 games. Sure analysts and scouts didn't say it but YT audience did.
Scoot Henderson Last 25 Games: 17ppg 6.6 assists on 41/36/88 splits Scoot Henderson Last 12 Games: 19.3ppg 8.3 assists on 42/40/83 splits Give it some time. But I'd still take Amen though. He is probably the 2nd best player in this draft in the future.
Bro there’s no way that Scoot is as booty as youre make him out to be. Im not even a Trailblazers fan and I think this isn’t fair. Sure he had a bad rookie year but there’s a world where he improves dramatically in the offseason and is a legit threat this year. Guys like him that rely on athleticism have to polish their game a lot more than more fundamentally sound players and I believe that scoot can do that. There is no way im taking BOTH amen and ausar, especially ausar since that man LITERALLY cannot shoot. Scoot deserves an offseason before all this slander is sent his way.
Portland would still take Scoot. If you look at the end of his season, he became an above average shooter, a fantastic playmaker, and he created a lot of rim pressure drawing lots of fouls.
Notice how it's the French guy, and a couple other players that are dressed in formal attire. The rest with their tacky suits and big diamond chains. This is why most teams now are focused on European players. It's a different mindset that they have. As an American, this is a bad look for us. These young men are more focused on the flamboyant of being in the NBA than to actually want to be in the NBA for the competition.
To this day I don’t understand how Cam Whitmore fell. I know his passing IQ is lacking but his athletic potential and shooting literally jumps off the screen. And those character concerns are complete BS
He has to improve immensely though. He's athletic and streaky enough to have some really good nights but is wildly inconsistent. He's not an impressive facilitator and terrible finisher. He may prove me wrong but he has so much work to do.
Remember when there was talks of trading Zion for the Blazers pick? That would’ve been a generational fumble by the Pels if they had pulled the trigger
Tbh they’re not in a good position anyways due to there best players always being injured and I understand scoot had a rough rookie season but he started to play better towards the end of the season while Zion and BI duo haven’t made any progress since being together
If you think that SH would go 8th in a re-draft you are absolutely batshit crazy. Fourth behind Amen? Sure... Ausur? That is a stretch. The rest? Laughable. Rookie point guards start out slowly and his numbers the last month of the season were much better.
Video was good until you criticized GG for having "playing opportunity most rookies don't have" well, the group you compared him to, (the top 5/10) all were in situations where they had consistent playing opps, so that negates itself.
What's with all the Scoot hate lol, just cause people overrate him and ignorant of the fact that early career pure PGs struggle doesn't mean he's a bust. He broke the +/- all tine record tho, but the flashes he's shown why he was picked at 3 to pair with Sharpe.
Na Amen has incredible defensive potential as a guard. Cam has loads of offensive potential but is still pretty raw in terms of shot selection, passing, and defensive IQ
@@JWNimbleyeah amen is raw in those same areas. But one of them is immensely better offensively. Give me the offensive guy. Especially looking at the playoffs this year. Luka, Kyrie, Ant, Tatum, and Hali.

There's no way Dlive falls to 10 in a re-draft lol. Man was the third best player on a team that went to the nba finals.
No real reason to think Raptors would pick someone else at this point. I had honestly given up on Dick but he did well enough in second half of the season and he always did display high IQ even when he was struggling with his confidence that at #13, he's still the guy.
That thumbnail is hella disrespectful
2023-
1. Spurs- Victor Wembanyama-1aa
2. Hornets- Brandon Miller-1a
3. Blazers- Amen Thompson-1a
4. Rockets- Cam Whitmore-1a
5. Pistons- GG Jackson-1a
6. Magic- Scoot Henderson-1a
7. Pacers- Ausar Thompson-1b
8. Wizards- Bilal Coulibaly-1b
9. Jazz- Taylor Hendricks-1b

11. Magic- Cason Wallace-1b
12. Thunder- Brandin Podziemski-1c
13. Raptors- Keyonte George-1c
14. Pelicans- Jarace Walker-1c
Victor, Miller, Jaime, Lively. Lmao
Lively plays better and is a pivotal part of the Mavs compare to the likes of Amen, Whitmore, etc. Having him 1b instead and with guys like Scott being 1a is atrocious.
@@leonarronquillo593 This is for long long term and I really don’t think you know what you are talking about no offense. Amen and Whitmore have All-Star potential they are freak athletes and Scoot still does. I like Lively but long term he’s likely to just a be a quality starting center and Jaquez is 23 already and wasn’t that good the 2nd half of the season and has lower upside he’s just a good role player don’t get fooled by bad takes from some media ppl
@@bkelly625 Amen and Whitmore has all-star potential??? Based on what?? They are literally not getting any playing time. Meanwhile, Lively has proven from the get go he can be a good complementary player despite being a rookie. If the likes of Jason Kidd, Kyrie Irving, and Tyson Chandler trusts Lively to perform well, how the heck would he be less of a player than the likes of Whitmore, etc. They were given playing time by their respective teams but wasn't able to do jack shit despite their respective teams on a rebuilding mode. Meanwhile, Lively showed from his first game he can be a quality center moving forward.
2nd half Jaime, I can give you that. He regressed a bit in the latter part of the season but he still better than the likes of Whitmore. lmao.
1. Wemby
2. Miller
3. Jaquez
4. Lively
5. Am Thompson
6. Au Thompson
7. Wallace
8. TJD
9. Jackson
10. Henderson
Scoot averaged 19,9 last 15 games of the season btw but just go off on him because he played bad at the start of the season
The stupidity. He was looking like he was putting it together at the end when he didnt have to play with simons. Plus the first games dont count. He didnt have glasses.
the disrespect for scoot is crazy ngl, stay that site.
Amen owns scoot
@@js_dude9208 dumb
Yeah I'll be just fine staying hating on the Blazers and their trash ass team. won't be no need to switch up because they ain't doin shit with that team
How is that disrespect when he is using the numbers that Scoot put up during his rookie season?
Yeah, it's a bit crazy. Scoot had a solid season. People have to let the hype go and just see him for what he is and can be.
In a redraft, I'd pick Cam Whitmore over either Thompson twin! I'm a Houston Rockets fan too and I love Amen, but Cam is an absolute BEAST!!!!
Doing a redraft after one season is stupid af
the real bust here not Scoot but Jalen Hood lmfao
Who gives a f about the laker pick. He can’t be a bust if nothing was expected buddy
He was drafted at 17
I wonder how many players age 25+ who are in the nba got picked in the 1st round. It would be interesting to know wich pick is in the long run most valuable.
Brandon Miller hasn't been involved in any more murder trials. That's a win.
😂😂😂
Went to school with brandon miller, always knew he would go to the league, watching him play in middle school and high school bro was a cheat code literally!! Proud of bro thoe nobody really made it out from where we from
I still give Scoot a chance
Why would the jazz take another forward when u need a guard like keyonte george
I know some players didn't live up to expectations but it's only year 1 and some players dont get playing time to their potential like black, Howard, whitmore
Suggs seemed like a bust in his first two years, but he's now the third-best player on the Magic roster,improved as a shooter and potentially 1st team all defensive.Similarly, Garland was like a bust too especially with Sexton averaging 20 points, but when Sexton got injured, Garland got more playing time, thrived, and became an All-Star. Portland is in a similar situation with two 20-point scorers in Simons and Grant. When they were injured, Scoot started to looking like a third overall pick player. So, let's give Scoot some time and hope Portland trading their veterans to pass the torch to Scott and Sharpe.
Keyonte and JJ missplaced for me, but the list's pretty accurate
It'd be funny if draft night the Thompson twins switched places, and that's really amen on the rockets
Amen plays for rockets
People who hate on Scoot don’t watch basketball
Thank you
He sucks my guy
They watched the 1st 10 games lol. Bunch of box score watchers lmao
Does anyone know where to get the preseason Vegas odds for scoring or assists etc? Feel like this could be useful for my fantasy league.
17-4-2 44%fg 37%3p vs 14-3-5 40%fg 32%3p but scoot gets hate for being in a worse team which explains his +\- and he’s the best playmaker of the draft class with the trash they had around him and the only person you could start to rebuild around other than wemby
I think Cason Wallace would have fitted in Utah
Scott Henderson improved a lot towards the end of the year I think his year 2 leap is gonna be good.. plus he still just turned 20 a few months ago people said the same thing about Cade a lot of yall been spoiled from these young guards actually starting they careers very good like a Ja morant Shai Luka Trae young etc and those are all superstars all nba guys so bashing Scott Henderson and saying he should of not been a top pick is foolish
Scoot>Amen
lol
12 views in 1 min, bro did not fall off chill LOL
Keyonte disrespect will not be tolerated. He’s a top 7 rookie.
Scoot is slowly meeting up to his potential , that man has been killing since high school in my opinion
Look what GG Jackson did in the G League at the beginning of the season, your argument with opportunity makes sense but also applies to GG
"Always draft the best available" is a lazy, subjective approach. The "best player" isn't always clearly distinguishable. The Hornets nailed their pick and the Blazers set themselves back atleast another year.
I was excited to see Anfernee, Shaedon and Amen suit up together.
GG Jackson came outta nowhere 🔥🔥
Scoot is not bad he just shouldn’t have been picked where he was picked at. This equivalent to drafting a running back in rd1 and you find out hes not better than your undrafted rb
Cam is top 3 for me, the biggest weakness is playmaking but he’s a rare athlete who can score on all 3 levels and is tenacious defender!
Almost all PGs start their career slow, because PGs have more responsibilities than any other position cant really gauge them in just one year, that's why rebuilds are long because if you draft the wrong PG it's going to be another few years to train another one.
For those who pretend nobody said Scoot was better than Wemby, go back to pre draft videos : many people said Scoot must be #1 seed at the draft before Wemby. They were already less after the 2 games between Mets92 and GL Ignite but they were numerous amongst american posters. Many said Wemby would be too soft or he would be broken after 3 games. Sure analysts and scouts didn't say it but YT audience did.
I hope Scoot proves all these haters wrong..I haven’t given up on him yet.
Scoot Henderson Last 25 Games: 17ppg 6.6 assists on 41/36/88 splits
Scoot Henderson Last 12 Games: 19.3ppg 8.3 assists on 42/40/83 splits
Give it some time. But I'd still take Amen though. He is probably the 2nd best player in this draft in the future.
Why does it have the Suns logo in one of the Scoot highlight videos? That's the New Zealand Breakers lol
That’s why I always say, basketball ain’t about the highest prospects
It's only been one year..... gotta let these youngsters develop i say let's wait 5 years later and see where everyone is at least
Bro there’s no way that Scoot is as booty as youre make him out to be. Im not even a Trailblazers fan and I think this isn’t fair. Sure he had a bad rookie year but there’s a world where he improves dramatically in the offseason and is a legit threat this year. Guys like him that rely on athleticism have to polish their game a lot more than more fundamentally sound players and I believe that scoot can do that. There is no way im taking BOTH amen and ausar, especially ausar since that man LITERALLY cannot shoot. Scoot deserves an offseason before all this slander is sent his way.
you cannot tell me Podziemski should be drafted before Keyonte🤡 or even in the top 10
Keyonte so far is MCW without the defense. He hasnt shown anything that would put him into the lottery in a redraft right now.
Did you even watch Keyonte George play???
4:58 bro played while injured and y’all really ready to call him a bust. Smh
Cam Whitmore will be the greatest player out of this draft
except for Wemby of course.
The Jazz wouldn't take GG Jackson in a redraft, they wanted Coulibaly originally and thats who I think they would take in the redraft now.
As a Magic fan seeing them grab Black was disappointing, but let’s see what he does.
Map is wrong for prize picks. It’s not legal in florida anymore
Tracy and lively not being at top 10 is interesting
New Jimmer
Scoot looking like Emmanuel Mudiay out there
Portland would still take Scoot. If you look at the end of his season, he became an above average shooter, a fantastic playmaker, and he created a lot of rim pressure drawing lots of fouls.
As a wizard fan, I’m good with Bilal, he’s great
Notice how it's the French guy, and a couple other players that are dressed in formal attire. The rest with their tacky suits and big diamond chains. This is why most teams now are focused on European players. It's a different mindset that they have. As an American, this is a bad look for us. These young men are more focused on the flamboyant of being in the NBA than to actually want to be in the NBA for the competition.
To this day I don’t understand how Cam Whitmore fell. I know his passing IQ is lacking but his athletic potential and shooting literally jumps off the screen. And those character concerns are complete BS
Let’s slow down, it’s still just the 1st year, I still have a lot of hope in scoot tbh
He has to improve immensely though. He's athletic and streaky enough to have some really good nights but is wildly inconsistent. He's not an impressive facilitator and terrible finisher. He may prove me wrong but he has so much work to do.
Spurs must be add some player who can help wemby, like harden, PG, SIAKAM,
Remember when there was talks of trading Zion for the Blazers pick? That would’ve been a generational fumble by the Pels if they had pulled the trigger
Tbh they’re not in a good position anyways due to there best players always being injured and I understand scoot had a rough rookie season but he started to play better towards the end of the season while Zion and BI duo haven’t made any progress since being together
I thought it was for Ingram , the Pels have not thought abt moving Zion yet , he was like 25 a game and had them 1st seed before he got hurt last yr
If you think that SH would go 8th in a re-draft you are absolutely batshit crazy. Fourth behind Amen? Sure... Ausur? That is a stretch. The rest? Laughable. Rookie point guards start out slowly and his numbers the last month of the season were much better.
Derek Lively is easily a top 3 pick in the re-draft. You guys don't watch basketball.
Video was good until you criticized GG for having "playing opportunity most rookies don't have" well, the group you compared him to, (the top 5/10) all were in situations where they had consistent playing opps, so that negates itself.
🙅♂️
Keyonte George should have been mention. Dude can play
Scoot had 18 turnovers in 2 games. Blazer fans think he played awesome. Basketball is getting really weird in Portland.
men with the simplest clothes often become the most notable superstars.
Jokic spent a year overseas before even joining Nuggets.
Bro hates the Magic. Glossed over both their picks and gave them random names lol
What's with all the Scoot hate lol, just cause people overrate him and ignorant of the fact that early career pure PGs struggle doesn't mean he's a bust. He broke the +/- all tine record tho, but the flashes he's shown why he was picked at 3 to pair with Sharpe.
Im still not giving up on keyonge and hendricks
The title says NBA draft but he only covers the lottery…
Where’s keyonte George? Lmao
4:00 was a blatant push off lmao cmon
Won’t lie I’d have Cam and Jaime in front of the Thompson twins.
Na Amen has incredible defensive potential as a guard. Cam has loads of offensive potential but is still pretty raw in terms of shot selection, passing, and defensive IQ
@@JWNimbleyeah amen is raw in those same areas. But one of them is immensely better offensively. Give me the offensive guy. Especially looking at the playoffs this year. Luka, Kyrie, Ant, Tatum, and Hali.
its crazy how we glaze wemby, his team has the won no more games than the team last year without him, wembys a monster but hes nothing more than an empty stat padder right now
GG Jackson should have stayed a year in college and he’d go number 1 this year
Dereck Lively should definitely be higher
