He’s gonna get a lot more calls in the future too, his playstyle can heavily draw fouls
Emphasis on the heavy
youtube.com/@SportZone429
And unlike some cry babies he doesn’t depend just on free throws
@@yung_dagger_d1469 ignoring the cry baby part but yeah, he was finishing through a lot of contact
Heavily 😂
I actually love his style of play. heavy post work with a strong body and finishing ability
Basically Zion
Kenneth Lofton looks like a Charles Barkley throwback, proving that Chuck could have balled out in this era. Kenny is pretty much doing what he wants to in the paint and has the same midgame style as Chuck. These soft players ain't ready
@@brianbadonde9251 facts as a Memphis fan hes like our baby Zion
He is undersize for a center, cant win a play off game. Hes like harell 2.0
@@jericcastillo4286 filipino
Been rooting for him since college, this dude got real skill. Actually smiled watching him play
For anyone who doesn't know, Kenneth Lofton Jr was the G-League Rookie of the Year this season. This kid has serious potential. Grizzlies definitely got a steal.
He has potential, but he also kinda reminds me of jahlil okafor
@@perceptional1458 nah he is Zach Randolph
yeah but he slow on D
I remember him shitting on Chet. Love to see him do well
My dumbass thought this kid was related to the baseball player til today lmao. Was like damn he's not built like his pops at all 💀
Nice to see Baby ZBo in a Grizzlies jersey dropping career high right away in his early nba career.
Yea I was thinking same thing.. But dude didn't get lot of foul calls
@@Bigedub101 he young thats why
I was thinking the sam
You no your basketball thinking the same
@Erik Sutton It's about to be the playoffs. Refs weren't calling shiiiit this game, lol
He got every last point from the post too. Refreshing!
It is isn't it!!!
Mane, just like the old days. Very refreshing.
Facts. I've seem some lousy games as of late where every step of the court turns into a 3pt heave. Its nice to see someone use footwork on the inside even if the game is meaningless for the season.
Facts!!!
It's not impressive due to the modern day state of defensive basketball.
Happy to see a true big man.🔥 He's gonna be fun to watch.
Bruh... 😅
Do you call every single nba player that passes a ball a "true point guard"?
6'6 is not a "true big man"
He's heavy like Charles Barkley, though. Definitely fun to watch!
@@avidmomokayoitsumareader no but the ones that actually pass yes
@@thard9989He is big and a Man so😂😂😂 Stfu
Big man is cookin! Kinda reminds me of Sir Charles from back in the day, heavy and aggressive, true hustler.
Agreed. I said this in one of my group chats
No you didnt im in your groupchat
Got him lol😂
Natural physics and Game play
Modern players are all ripped and shoot 3's
The only thing thats similar to Sir Charles is hes size but Barkley was faaar more explosive.
The really impressive thing is that he shot 68% from the field
He’s extremely efficient every time he’s on the court
He needs his own spotlight. Griz is already packed with young talents.
@@eisernfront8549 he’s fine here for now
high percentage shots. Could excel in the playoffs
Aw could have been 69%
He's finna be something special
he's not
@@maciejguzek3442 always theres a guy like this
@@adhiatmajamy4617 the only two really special overweight players in NBA history were Barkley and Zion. Also, there were many more ow players (like Kendrick Perkins or Big Baby), but nobody among them was special and most of them outright sucked. Of course, maybe I'm wrong. Just my opinion
@@maciejguzek3442 thats the only overweight players ever tho and perkins wasnt rly overweight im not getting ur point neither was barkely really luka is fat and zion is fat pretty much
Showed out when given the opportunity 👏🏾
love to see all the talented/promising young guys getting the opportunity they deserve in the last day of games 👏🏾
Underrated, was balling in summer league and preseason thought he would get playing time this year but got played.
Yeah but when you have Brandon Clark and Jaren Jackson before you, there not much playing time left.
He should go to my bulls
Very good player, he grinded into the league no one can say he didn’t earn his spot
He has the talent just needed the opportunity
Na he is actually good
They just gave him a 7 million dollar deal for four years yesterday, thats what motivated him tonight.
The next Zach Randolph
G league player.
@@benjipaname846 *Nba player
This the NBA style I love to watch, shooting 3s all the time is boring try to get 42 points in the paint, this man bring that grit and grind culture Memphis was #ZBo
agreed
Hopefully as he grows his style will influence the next generation
he is the first rookie to drop 40 this season they just need to treat him with a right amount of minutes he is going to be something great in the future
That young man can play.
Glad he was able to slim down too really paid off for his ability and footwork
This man literally just got a contract and he out here serving a 42 piece, that’s crazyyy
@Anth Romer i mean tbf its the same thing with zion , if he leaned out he could do alot more physically
@@voodo3184 he uses his size to his advantage bullying his match up dude should keep the weight. Zion a different story he can jump out the building so that weights really hard on his knees when he lands, Kenneth plays more with his feet on the floor not too much vertical so imo losing the weight would hurt him more than benefit.
Gotta keep in mind it was against a team that played no starters and barely even the actual bench players
@@chronics3710 bruh. you crazy. 42 on any team is crazy idc it’s the 97 bulls or 2023 okc thunder. stupid comment.
@@chronics3710 gotta also keep in mind it was his first start in the nba.
he’s serious… n you can see it’s all coming natural to him 🤲🏾
He’s in a perfect situation to be able to develop. Love his work ethic and skill. When he gets in better shape…watch out for this kid in a few years.
Old school vibes 💪
Yes sir!
Gave the thunder 42 old school buckets… the hard way
💯
@@basketguy775 it's real lol
He would have atleast 88pts at the least.. you know they’re worth 2pts.. do some math
@@Abcdefghijllmnop You told him to do some math, but 42 x 2 is 84 not 88. 🤣🤦🏾♂️
@@Abcdefghijllmnop you the one who need math dumbass
Oh, I remember this guy from the pre-season. He was my favorite player from *Summer League* .
I'm glad to see him getting some regular season action. He's showing some *serious* skills. I'm seeing a lot of Derrick Coleman, Michael Beasley, and Zo Randolph in his game.
He was the best player in u19 internationl a few years back and dominated Victor Wembayana in the final game and people forget that or over look his talent, what a shame
0:46 I think the reason why Kenny is so deadly is because of how good he is at the jab step. I think people forget how powerful the jab step can be, people often overlook simple moves. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He reminds me of Zack Randolf that's sweet midrange and post moves and physique inside the paint this guy need more minutes to showcase his full potential, he deserve spot on this team I hope to see him more on the court..best of luck Kenneth the bulldozer lofton 😂
They dont call him snack randoph for nuttin
Go sixers future legend right here
Finally. Someone that plays basketball from the new school. I’m sick of these 3 point hunters.
He does everything the right way 🥳🥳🥳
He can also shoot the three efficiently as well but he realized OKC had no defense on the post so he had a buffet down there lol
@@elmulato7038💀
Struck while the iron was red-hot
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this play style has longevity written all over it since his college days. Reminds me of Tim Duncan. Hes gonna be good
I love this kid. 90s style!
This guy just made me a 100 percent fan. Damn!
Welcome to Philly, KLJ!
Once he masters his right hand he will be unstoppable
I always believed in this dude
He had such a solid preseason so good to see him shining even now.
The future bright for baby Randolph💪🔥
Dude really has some game, post up, jab with a nice first step, the mid range shot..nice package
One of my favorite players.. The Grizzlies' secret weapon.. Watch out in the playoffs
@@Deano88848 they gave him a regular contract yesterday
They gave him 1 min and 10 mins 😂
BEAST. Rooting for this kid
ive been saying this guy is special love his game
I been knew he was that !!! I’m glad he proving his point
I swear this is like a 2k game because how does he not get more PT after a performance like this??
Right shit is crazy. They just wasting him. Smh
Lofton the new ZBo ❤❤❤
Sixers fans we out here doing scouting 😂😂
we all remember him from the 2k sims hes showing his potential now
ive always loved hisb game so happy to see him thrive
I really like his game
42points
0 assists
Bro was on a mission
such a great hooper, you could tell from his summer league tape, such a smart operator, really love his game, his uses heft immaculately
Bringing back the grit and grind Grizz
Entre medias de aldama y morant está illojuan
Grizzlies really took rookie of the year from this man
He got GLeague rookie of the year
@@dregamingz he means NBA ROTY
There is absolutely no way he would've come close to rookie of the year, and that's coming from a Grizzlies fan who's watched him a ton
@@BetleyIsland36 nah he’s easily rookie of the year bro is disgusting seen him in college until now Yu will find out y’all have a dogg mr Randolph 2.0
@@zKarizzma ik that. I’m just saying what he DID get
Very beautiful and unique offensive style. Love it.
Such a beast ❤ finally getting his chance
I always loved him back then and even more so now
Started watching him in the summer league
No way they waived this kid what the hell is the front office thinking
If he gets into the right shape he’ll be a beast
So happy for him man my childhood friend ❤️🤞🏾‼️
Watching him play is like listening to J dilla, you're like there's something wrong with his rythm that throws everybody off, but it's just his own beat that somehow works
He plays on Dilla time. I LOVE IT!
I like how u put that rip to the Legend
love his playstyle...
post game too hard 🔥🔥
impressive! so smooth. love his style
Well I’m only here because I wanted to see how actually good he was since I heard the grizzlies cut him, I know a lot of people are here too for the same reason
that boy cant be stoppedddddd
That boy lost some weight 🔥🔥🔥
Big boy unstoppable and if with Ja. Scary team.
Lofton jr been balling out at every oppurtunity he's been given for years
Love his bully ball playstyle, I hope he gets more opportunities like this in the future
Chet’s dad doing big things out here 😂
He’s a beauty to watch
Damn 42 🔥
I remember him from the USA junior team, I knew since then that he was a beast and I wasn't wrong
Snack Randolph showing out just before the playoffs 🔥🔥
Him and Zion will be a fun Match up to watch
Who’s here after they waived him
Thank you, may God bless you, him and everyone. ❤
He hoop just like the nice heavy niggas in NY do lmao glad he getting some time to show what he can do after being great in the college system and he meshes well with the grizzlies culture too frfr
I wanna see this man shine, a true baller with a silky smooth touch
How many have watched this after being Waived by Grizzlies?
He for sure did not disappoint Im glad he took advantage of this moment, the kids a beast!
Was wondering why he wasn’t on the roster all year honestly.. it’s extremely difficult to guard someone that size with some agility too
Another DAWG added to the Sixers.
Welcome to Philly 🔥🔔🔥
that boy jumper is straight money 🤣
Glad the sixers got him! I been watching him since NIT tourney in 2021 when he was at LA Tech this man made me a lot of money
Baby Barkley most definitely 💯 💪🏿
Barkley was athletic
He’ll be perfect on the OKC right now
He has the same profile as Zach Randolph or Marc Gasol, his hard work paid off. I think he will be on the roster for the Playoffs.
If you turn on the tv he got a contract already before this game with the grizzlies they waived Kennedy chandler and signed him to a 4 year 7mill.
Love his style of ball
Why is this kid giving me Charles Barkley vibes? 🤔👍✨
his footwork is really great hope he get some opportunity
Playing like Zach Randolph
bros is crazy with those fundamental moves😮😮
He reminds me of Barkley so much
You have no idea how Barkley plays he was way more athletic
@@catcountry0099 The post game and his midrange jumpshots are very similar to Barkley.
Lesss go Kenny woooooo!!
Shocked it took this long for the nba to give him a chance. Can’t believe he went undrafted
prolly bc of weight
NBA guys just see fat and think that means lack of talent. SMH. He's been a baller from time.
@@redherring4119 nah they think it's a lack of defense + terrible on transition
Man the Memphis Grizzlies are an incredible organization
This is what a big man is suppose to play like💪🏿completely dominate
Who’s here after he went to the sixers
I really love the way Lofton plays, he’s a bit of an old school player, but with a twist if that makes sense, and his footwork just looks so fluid, he will be a star one day
that spin move was crazy, he'll become a post menace on the future
Put you in foul trouble as well
The guy!!! Give this man some playing time! He will ball out and score 40 just like here!
Z-bo?? Is that you?! 👀
Forreal
He will be perfect with GSW. His punishing screens and rolls will be a joy to watch.
