It showed a lack of self awareness to believe you'd be drafted with no game film for a year against actual competition. Even players like Duncan Robinson and Max Strus who were undrafted played the year prior...
Should had went to the g league from prep
It’s his fault he went against kids constantly
COVID
@@dozie5561 buddy ain’t got a 50 inch vert like sharpe
@@dozie5561 Shaedon Sharpe was 1st in his draft class
Just cuz someone plays pro somewhere else besides the nba is not a failure
Edit : lol I was just trying to say if a mf making money off of basketball that’s a w in my book fr
it does when you were hyped up as one of the top HS players and you end up playing for 30 people in a no name country instead of making the league.
@@tray3483 some guys don’t even make it to the No name countries. It’s harder than ppl think. A lot player from the us can’t even make it overseas cuz the game is so different. I just respect the grind plus we all know he was 20 in high school 🤣
Yes it is the nba is the highest level of basketball in the world
@@Hype2k23 when the goal is nba it is because his finish line was never anything but the nba
@K3von1 no it's not why you think every nba player that goes to Europe becomes a bust
It's wild seeing all the college offers he had at the time.
Ong
I know . Then he was chillin tryna be social media famous
@@juicecountydreim beginning to think thats the only thing that drives people these days. They arent getting good at things because they love it or just want to pursue it as a career. People are literally doing things just to go viral. I wholeheartedly believe there are some people grinding, playing a sport or getting good at something to get into that profession only to make that their niche to become internet famous. I feel like ben Simmons is the perfect example. Get good just to get famous and be a celebrity or a ig model.
@@AP90xI’m from his area it ant that deep niggas just really be having bad influences all around them while they tryna find they self 😂 sometimes sports don’t be everything to y’all favorite athletes especially as kids
This an example of what happens most of the time when you’re given too much of a spot light as a child. Most of them don’t reach that mountain top.
I just don't understand why he didn't go to college, bro would have definitely gotten drafted.
Facts could have called coach cal and went to Kentucky
i feel like he got too cocky and grew an ego
I honestly think he was scared of getting exposed. He never faced real completion. Even when he went to Hillcrest, he was older than the playing field and he was held back which gave him an advantage. They probably thought if he went to college and didn’t dominate, his stock would drop but this isn’t the NFL draft where you can forgoe a year and train your body after two years of film. Not only did his stock drop as a result, it tanked and people surpassed him in that one year.
Whoever or however he got in contact with that trainer is what ultimately fucked him up i don’t understand they thought he’d get drafted with no game film past 2019
Probably his grades
Being a 16yr old freshman in high school is wild.
he 1 year behind hows that "wild". dafq
@@bhoj03I was 13 as a freshman 😭
@@conveybtw3629most people are 14 turning 15
@@bhoj03nah he was like two years, bro graduated high school at like 19. Mind u he graduted in 2020, he was born in 2000. Bro was suppose to be goin league by 2020, he should have been outta high school by 2018 at the latest
His parents knew he was to old to play his senior year they should of prepared him to go to college after his junior year and if he would of played well one year in college he would of had a better chance to go pro
He wasn’t too old his bday is late and he was held back or sum so his class was 2020 and when graduated he was 19 that’s not that bad mfs was acting like he was 2grades behind he was born in late 2000 so he was just a year older than people he graduated with
@@destinedforgreatness3030 ok thanks but to the NBA he was way older than his competitors that's why he should of graduated early end of junior year at 18 then play 1 year in college NBA scouts would of respected those numbers
@@SSSMOR.I’m pretty sure his mom died so he didn’t play for a year which ruined his stock
@@destinedforgreatness3030he reclassified intentionally
@@anthonycarter4539 yeah I see
Good to meet you at Peach Jam! Keep up the good work
He should of just went to Arizona State.
You’re probably right, not sure if he had personal issues going on but college is still the best way to the league especially if you have a scholarship to a big time d1 school.
would he have been there the same time as deandre ayton
@@1Lyfe.Of.Designer Ayton went to Arizona not Arizona state.
@@1Lyfe.Of.Designerayton went to Arizona not Arizona state💀
*should have
The year off really changed his whole career
Ngl. Remember seeing him on Ball is Life all the time. Completely forgot about this dude 🤦🏾♂
He got hype because he was 30 playing junior high kids. Once everyone realized he was old as hell, his long term development prospects were properly calibrated.
yup
What do you mean? How old is he really?
@@moneyball647 22. Back in like 2016, he was 16 yo. Which is really old to be facing middle schoolers
@@keysersoze5032yup he was class of 2020 when he posed to been class of 2018😂😂
So we just not gonna mention the reason he sat out was to take care of his mother with cancer
Nope
Not gonna lie never thought he was that good
Bro? He isn't an average ball players he better then all these youtuber that is Devin the lab he played for a good Chinese league uncle skoob slim Duke Skywalker friga tjass and many others I don't like kyree walker because he's to cocky but this is just unnecessary hate
thought i was the only one thinking that. all i ever see him do is drive to the basket looking to go body to body with everybody lol never seen no actual skill to score
9 points in 14 minutes is kinda crazy 😂 shots were going up as soon as he checked in 😂
He was a ringer most of his life … the competition caught up with him …😮
People forget how important the hype and Story are
Hopefully he can accomplish his Goal!!!👍 I wonder if the school work, false hope, and ego did it. A lot of people need a real support system to be "really real" with them..
He was a great hooper but the day I knew he was too much for an owner/coach to handle was when he faced off against Jalen green like 6-7 years ago, I seen nba potential in Jalen way more than him, the way they carried themselves thru the game speaks a lot
Great video 🙏🏽
Should reclassified to graduate earlier with his proper grade nd just went pro. He hurt himself being senior at like 19, guys was gettin drafted at his age
He’s still in good position. He may likely end up in the Greek First Division league after cooking in the Greek A2 league. This is the league that has powerhouse clubs like Panathonakos and Olympiocos. He never has to touch the NBA. He can play 10 years in Greece, France, Serbia,Italy,Turkey,Spain. Which are the top countries in Europe for basketball. If he buys into the concept of hooping abroad at a high level, he’ll easily clear $5 Mil after taxes in career earning at minimum. I’m a coach/lead trainer for an EYBL team. We have 5 star and 4 star dudes every year, some make it to the league and some don’t for various. No matter the stars. You’re not guaranteed a spot in the association and it’s about more than your playing ability. I’ve worked the NBA combine myself and been around all the execs. They focus more on your fitness, your work ethic, your parents behavior, your friends and affiliations than your jumpshot.
I also think us Americans have a wrapped view on basketball overseas and how high level it is and how paid many of those guys are. I personally know overseas guys who’ve banked more than NBA guys. Your average NBA player flames out in 4 years. I personally know 3 players like that from our program who’s career was 3 years and under and they all were 1st round guys. It’s guys from their draft class who never got drafted and never made a league roster but have made 600k a year after tax multiple seasons now. So they’ve made more that 1st round flame outs.
Jamaal Franklin former San Diego state Great and 2nd round pick who had a cup of coffee in the league but has been in China more than half a Decade has made more money playing basketball than the number 1 pick in his draft class has now.
Jamaal Franklin is pushing 15 million after taxes made in career Earning in China.
Mike James makes 3.5 million in Monaco
Shane Larkin makes 3.5 million in Turkey.
Hooping abroad for good money is still a shit load of success guys. And if the Saudi’s buy the EuroLeague like it’s rumored, it’s going to really be a success 😂😂😂💰💰💰💰💸💸💸💸💸
Cool story
Not bad to be honest, he should keep it up to be in more competive scenes and be in the NBA or euroleague
The CEBL is a rlly competitive league
Whoever told him to make that decision ruined his life if he would’ve just went to college he would’ve stayed in the light enough to get drafted or get a decent shot
Bro shouldn’t have ever trusted frank lookin like that 😂
Unfortunately this era of hoops is terrible most of these young kids are super entitled spoiled and fet enabled alot so they don't work hard at all then thus happens nothing is given to u have to go out and earn it
“Most” you mean a few.
that doesn't even apply to this story. This kid worked hard, and is still working hard. He's just not good enough.
What makes you say he didn’t work hard? 😂
Rumor has it bro graduated high school this year
happy for em, do your thing bro.
Whoever convinced him to make that descision destroyed him lol like what the hell
Wasn’t his mom sick and that’s y he left school yall blaming him for that
@@destinedforgreatness3030his mom got sick in 2018 and got better before he even stop going to HS. That’s not his excuse, it was poor decision making from him and whoever was advising him
@@destinedforgreatness3030his mom got sick the year prior clown😂way before he stopped going
@@goatinaroun1944 nah I vividly remember that being the reason he didn’t play his senior year bc y would anybody say sum before when he played good his junior year
I thought he never left HS 😂
That’s why it’s always good to have a good agent
honestly...i knew he wasn't going anywhere. he always just seemed like a Instagram hooper. All highlights, and driving. no real show of pro play.
People really bad mouthing him for leaving school to help out his mom bc I think it was like she was sick or sum but y’all act like he left for no reason it was a valid reason family comes first
Sad to say but he peaked in HS...
Professional basketball player tho
He chose not to go to school or play on a team he was doomed from the start
James wiseman did the same and was drafted #1
at least he played a couple games in college plus they projected him first pick in the draft already@@Noisyboys3336
Kyree went to deer valley high school but played at hillscrest prep I went to school with the man his softmore and junior year
Who was the genius that advised him to leave H.S and de-commit from ASU!? Smh!
Why didn’t just take the regular route smh dude wasted so many years he could of just went to college one year ball out and enter the draft those numbers he putting up would of been enough to get him drafted
Hard
We’re not going to discuss this trainer who didn’t show his face ?
What I got from this video is his biggest highlight was against Julian Newman 😭
He was never going to go pro. He just outmuscled younger kids and was older. Even if he got into Arizona state, he wasn’t going league
This yt channel have a telegram channel with nba news and video links?
The max salary in the Canadian league is $10k doubt he even makes that. Talk about fumbling the bag, the sad reality is if you can’t even make a g-league team or a well known euro team you won’t make the nba. His best option is make some good money in china
He plays in the CEBL in my city and I didn’t know till now
he shouldve stayed at hillcrest did that 1 year and he wouldve been nba
Think he said his mom or grandma got sick and basketball wasn’t his main focus either his senior year or after
He was "All HYPE!"
Why not just got to az state dominant then declare for the draft ?? Somebody was in his ear . 12 months with a trainer an no basketball program is crazy .
I think u missing a few year Ik know for a fact he was class off 2018 I played against half my aau/ high school basketball stent untill he went to Arizona for the prep school
Should’ve just went to college he would’ve been in the league rn 100%
He couldn’t his mom he had to help
he needs to go to OTE
Post Denver rain basketball please
Where is devontes cobbs does he still hoop?
He’s only 22 which is crazy
I remember playing him when I was 14. No way was he a 14 year old he had to be at least 18. During that time in 2015
He was 15
I remember commenting under his Instagram saying he won’t make it to the league & he replied w “get off my dick”
thought that was funny
he looks much better wish he wlda either went overseas or college outta high school
I knew him and Julian newman wouldn’t make it to the league off of the jump.
They both can play but new man’s too short and Kylie walker is way too unathletic and non lanky for his 6’7 size.
Both dribblers and flashy which makes good for mixtapes.
Overall kyrie walker would’ve had a decent chance like you said in the 2021 draft .
If he showed out in his one and done at a uni like a ja morant or trae young even lonzo looked good in college.
lol that’s crazy to say. He definitely athletic..
He's been tearing it up in the Mongolian League!
I really don't know how scouts be having jobs fr. The first time I seen him play I knew he was nowhere near as good as the hype claimed. It was extremely clear that he was just much bigger than the average kid his age in height and size. Didn'r have an off-hand (not that he needed it being so mich bigger and stronger than everyone), he couldn't really shoot either. Not very athletic his body shape was/is lowkey chubby so he not really working out or even hooping alot either. Young people who hoop alot or work hard don't be tend to be chubby like that. Even Zion in his teenage years had a very solid build but he didn't look chubby.
Clearly the recruiters made the right decision ultimately
I think your gripe is with high school rankings
now he s playin in mongolia😢
Bro choose a non basketball boot camp over actually basketball a year before the draft. Ouch
He didn't follow the traditional route which pegged him as a "problem" and the owners won't touch him. He will languish on the basketball edges of the sport and will be considered too old in a few years and fade away😑
Forgot about this dude.
Thete are hundreds of hyped high scool players that can,'t make an NBA roster. Too much hype, not enough fundamentals.
Stay in school children
Tbh he ain’t really have that grind in him i remember back in high school seeing bro at parties with the wrong crowd around him he just thought he was Hollywood before making it that’s why ballislife and stuff like that can ruin talent i mean look at guys like Mikey Williams thinking he was too cool to catch a charge
At the end of the day y’all can’t be mad at him for betting on his self. Lamelo did it, if he never made the nba u guys would be acting like know it alls saying how he should’ve went to college too
Kyree can hoop Hella good a team needs to give that boy a holla
No lol 😂
Kyree walker in saskatoon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guy has that Paul Pierce Build
Bro was a 26 year old freshman ain’t no way 😂😂😂😂
Young Dude can ball
Hope he go Pat Bev Lane and make it to the nba
I think he was born in 2000 so he would of been 20 years old his senior year I dont think ur aloud to be in highschool that old that's why he most likely skipped his senior year he wouldn't of been aloud to play
I think the age limit is 19 and 6-8 months I believe so if he was 20 then yeah he wouldn’t have even be able to play
@@lieutenantdan6709 He aged out of HS like lenny cooke
He bin too old should have went to college
I wonder if his athleticism has anything to do with his inability to land an NBA roster.
These teams better learn from the Heat about these undrafted hoopers. I can see him having a defensive role on the Mavs.
Haven’t seen one defensive highlight for you to determine that 😂
Yeah but all those undrafted guys grinded it out in college and worked they way up. Playing in second Greek league and Canada unfortunately aren't pathways to the League.
He played against kids all his career and skipped college like a dummy
@@PrimeKobeBryant I mean, he skipped his senior year of high school, which is super unusual
@stbcurt4250 Athleticism can turn into a defensive role. If players are willing to except the "Liquor store" role. Shout-out Nick Young.
he just got too cocky. He let the early fame get to his head, lost discipline, and became a bum
Good for him. Wish him well
The thing is u make hienskty pretty good money in the CEBL
DEO Legend
Dude played him self
The next Lenny Cooke
do damon harge?
Lesson from this genius, don't ever take a year off to "WORK ON MY GAME & PREPARE FOR THE NBA"
He was like a 17 year old freshman
How he only was a grade behind so he was older a year head of his class he graduated in 20 instead of 2019
@@destinedforgreatness3030 ok
Tbh I’ll say this dude was mad cocky thought he was the greatest of all time in hs I don’t feel bad he never made it to the nba cause frankly he didn’t deserve it with how his character was
He clan play in the NBA. Worse case scenario he’s a Lance Stephenson for somebody. 6’7, strong. WILLING to play defense and do the little things. Can dribble and he can see the floor. Give him the opportunity Liangelo got and I bet an NBA team doesn’t cut him.
Lance Stephenson is way better than him 😂
He played against my highschool got clamped I knew he would never make it
Kyree may be 6’5. He definitely not 6’7!
Dunking on kids that’s 5 ‘ 5 get you nowhere
Dude never really stood out n seem like a good player. He seem older thenthe ppl he was playing
He thought he was wembanyama or some guaranteed pick 😂
He was too busy on streams with adin ross when he should’ve been in the gym 🤦🏽♂️
Who??
15 ppg in Canada is booty doo👎
What happened to Damon harge 😂
Orrr He literally took care of his mother🤷🏾♂️
Dude went to train with the Taliban for one year and we’re surprised as to why he wasn’t drafted ??? 🤨
