5:37 it's the scouts job to predict that the 14th pick, who was a project, was going to turn into a 2 time MVP and champion?? Bruh nobody could've predicted that no matter who they are 🤣😂😂
@@TJ_Reactz exactly 💯 His biggest knock was how skinny and raw he was. That's like predicting that Pokusevski would become the most dominant player in the league 😂
4:25 noel’s defence absolutely did translate dude was a top 10 defender the year the knicks went to the playoffs and was amazing defensively when he got minutes your acting like he was some mediocre defensive player he wasnt he’s pretty damn good at defence
Markelle is kinda sad bc he has the jumper but elbow problems forced him to chance his shot and mess it up so who knows if it’s really would’ve translated or not
I'm sorry, but Simmons isn't even CLOSE to the worst draft day comparison in 2016... - Dragan Bender got compared to Hedo Turkoglu. - Kris Dunn got compared to Devin Harris and Jordan Clarkson. - Marquese Chriss was compared to Antonio McDyess. - Dejounte Murray was compared to Shaun Livingston and Jamal Crawford. - MALCOLM BROGDON was compared to KEITH BOGANS and JAYSON GRANGER??? (who tf even is that???)
For Luka being compared to Hedo was great since the only thing different from Hedo and Luka is the ball handling and playmaking which Luka has where Hedo barely had any situations where he could show it because he was always in spot up 3 role all the time.
I used to cover the league, and a lot of what a player becomes depends on which team drafts him. Some teams, like Golden State, San Antonio, Boston and Miami, have solid reputations for targeting and developing talent, and they have invested in a player-development system. Others, like Sacto, New York, Minnesota and Washington, usually misjudge talent and fail to develop what players they do find.
I think the best situation for Ben Simmons rn is in BKN if both Kyrie and KD stay. However a situation for him to progress more in his career long term is either Toronto or San Antonio, Chip'll whip him into a shooter.
Back then, every big center is compared to Shaq: Glen Big Baby Davis was called Baby Shaq. Desagna Diop, Ousmane Cisse, Samuel Dalmbert, and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje along with Eddy Curry are all given a comparison to Shaq. Of course, every white guy is the next Larry Bird. Those are some lazy comparison. In the 90s, every tall guard that can dribble is the next Magic Johnson: Jason Kidd, Steve Smith, Gary Payton, Penny Hardaway, and Terry DeHere. Some of these scouts need to see more older players for accurate comparison to.
I feel like the Greg oden comparison isn’t fair because we didn’t get to see. And he really was good I mean he honestly had the skills to be great it’s just the injuries killed his career
Morrison comparison to Bird wasnt bad.. he was in the league like 3 years and has 2 rings.. if he was still in the league he'd be challenging Bill Russell
They’re based off play style. Going into the draft or even in the 1st 2 years there’s no way you could’ve predicted giannis being who he is now. I only know this because my roommate in college started gassing him his rookie season and the bucks were still trash
Hakeem Olajuwon wasn't an international player. Yes, he's from Niger but he spent 4 years playing NCAA basketball before being drafted #1 pick. I think we can all agree that you don't know what you're talking about.
Bro. You act super smart but your insight is after the fact. Obviously hindsight 20/20. Stop acting like you would have done a better job at drafting NBA players.
Hold on pimp. I heard that slick “he’s not that good” about Luka. You know statistically he’s on pace to be the GOAT, and it’s not really close, right?
You are young and you don't know, Rick Smits was a very good player, and his game was similar to Yao Ming's, surely Ming was a better player, but the comparison was not wrong. In the end Ming didn't have a complete career, he stopped at 30 years old and was out two years before that, in contrast to Smits who played until he was 35!

tbf they comparison doesn't mean that's how good they're gonna be, it's just based off of play style
Exactly
Yeah man
Exactly
Exactly
Exactly
Simmons’ comparison was accurate. He just didn’t develop his game
5:37 it's the scouts job to predict that the 14th pick, who was a project, was going to turn into a 2 time MVP and champion?? Bruh nobody could've predicted that no matter who they are 🤣😂😂
If they had said that and giannis would fail, 🤡 like the boy on the video would have criticized them for wrong opinion! 💩💩💩
Not to mention he completely changed his frame, wasn’t he like 6’8 and skinny on draft day
@@TJ_Reactz exactly 💯 His biggest knock was how skinny and raw he was. That's like predicting that Pokusevski would become the most dominant player in the league 😂

Imma let sb else be the grammar police
It’s literally the only thing about him that did translate lmao what is this guy talking about
Porzingus averages 2 blocks a game
austin been consistent lately
(*marge Simpson*) mmmMMMMmmm
consistently bad?
Every player who happens to be white and shoot 3's between 6'7-6'9i Larry Bird, 6'11-7'1- Dirk
Markelle is kinda sad bc he has the jumper but elbow problems forced him to chance his shot and mess it up so who knows if it’s really would’ve translated or not
Skillset wise I ain’t mad of the Ben simmons comparison to Lebron, it’s the mentality that didn’t compare
Lost it at the Benjamin Simmons part 😂
Greg Oden couldve been like a david robinson and bill russell player if he was healthy
Exactly
Norlens Noel led the league and blocks by the way
What league is that
Lolllll dwight getting compared to kwame
And luka is basically super hedo
Just threw Chet under the bus before he has even played a game
I'm sorry, but Simmons isn't even CLOSE to the worst draft day comparison in 2016...
- Dragan Bender got compared to Hedo Turkoglu.
- Kris Dunn got compared to Devin Harris and Jordan Clarkson.
- Marquese Chriss was compared to Antonio McDyess.
- Dejounte Murray was compared to Shaun Livingston and Jamal Crawford.
- MALCOLM BROGDON was compared to KEITH BOGANS and JAYSON GRANGER??? (who tf even is that???)
Batum was really good with the Trailer Blazers.
Shade thrown at Smits? Somebody didn't watch older NBA.
Preach
4:00 for future reference, Michael Beasley went to Kansas State and not Kansas, great visor though!
a cool video would be like seeing the best nbas players draft comparisons
For Luka being compared to Hedo was great since the only thing different from Hedo and Luka is the ball handling and playmaking which Luka has where Hedo barely had any situations where he could show it because he was always in spot up 3 role all the time.
nah hedo had nice handles for his size
Yao ming compared to rik smits isn't terrible
Andre Miller was a good point guard… 10+ ast multiple seasons
LMAO Amaer Stoudemire and Ben Wallace, in terms of playstyle, might be the two least similar big men in the history of basketball.
“Mr. Benjamin Simmons” I dided😂💀
6:14 “Well well well, old Benjamin Simmons”🤣🤣🤣

you cappin. this is common knowledge
If Simmons actually played consistently and actually put in the effort he was predicted to, he’d be the undeniable GOAT of the league atm
Hey Austin! Another post, another great video
Its def mot great, he doesn't understand the meaning of draft comparisons...
Please do too 30 players SOON
“He was compared to Hakeem the only similarity is they’re both international”
*shows him in a Rockets jersey*
Hi Austin nice vid
y'all can troll deshawn stevenson all u want but he did turn into prime mj during that finals run against the heat.
I think the best situation for Ben Simmons rn is in BKN if both Kyrie and KD stay. However a situation for him to progress more in his career long term is either Toronto or San Antonio, Chip'll whip him into a shooter.
You should do best draft comparison next
My father said that both Luka and Giannis were going to be superstars.
My dad predicted the same with devin booker
I got you both beat. I predicted Jokic was going to be a mvp
Will you rank the top 100 players of all time
Simons got hit with the curse that a couple of player were hit with..
Embiid deserved mvp
Yes
Yes
cap
But this isn’t the topic of the video
No,jokic > embiid
Lists like this are always interesting! Ben Simmons is more like Ben Simmons.....
Most of these aren’t even bad. It’s about play style not ability. Almost all of these guys play like their comparison
1:45 honestly yao compared to rik smith isn’t that bad
Back then, every big center is compared to Shaq: Glen Big Baby Davis was called Baby Shaq.

Put some respect on Rik Smits' name. The Dunking Dutchman was an all star and solid center for a long time.
Would like to see best draft comp video
I feel like the Greg oden comparison isn’t fair because we didn’t get to see. And he really was good I mean he honestly had the skills to be great it’s just the injuries killed his career
when he said Luka not that good I knew this video made before 60/20/10
i thought ben simmons was compared with magic
Maybe orlando magic
Morrison comparison to Bird wasnt bad.. he was in the league like 3 years and has 2 rings.. if he was still in the league he'd be challenging Bill Russell
Ben Simmons COMPARISON were right. They not saying that he would be Lebron
Are the comparisons based of playstyle or of domination? (How well the player played or estimation of how well they are going to play by comparison)
They’re based off play style. Going into the draft or even in the 1st 2 years there’s no way you could’ve predicted giannis being who he is now. I only know this because my roommate in college started gassing him his rookie season and the bucks were still trash
Best Luka comparison would be James Harden if u have watched any games u see similaritys
I love your videos, keep it up!
Honestly Norman Powell isn't a bad player to be compared to
8:20 i think you meant 'not that good YET' 😐👍
No the playstyles just arent similar
As they're saying "A better comparison would be..." I'm thinkin hakeem with the play they're showin him shake. I mean make
@@clockworkk my point isn't the playstyle, my point is the fact that Look Luka isnt as good as Bird or LeBron YET, but will eventually surpass them
@@Minej_Mosuris as an individual player luka is miles ahead of bird
@@clockworkk love to hear that😋😂♥️
Chet holmgren to Giannis LOL
dude said chet isn't gonna be a good shot blocker lmao
Anyone else thinks Adam Morrison's Draft Day comparison should've been Pistol Pete Maravich?
Yao ming rik smits not bad. They both can shoot.
luka became the hedo from 2k19 😭
Now do best draft day comparisons
Hakeem Olajuwon wasn't an international player. Yes, he's from Niger but he spent 4 years playing NCAA basketball before being drafted #1 pick. I think we can all agree that you don't know what you're talking about.
So ? Still International !
Jeremy Lin had potential and if he was given a good chance he could be a above average player.
Comparison is base on their play style not potential or where they will be like…..
Fultz-Harden comparison isn’t bad. Fultz just got hurt
Those guys also works as movie critics and game journalists right?
Russ is the most overheated player in the nba
As a Lakers fan you are wrong. I watched about 75 games and he played like garbage
4:34 see there’s ur mistake, you should never expect the kings to know better
Micheal Beasley went to Kansas St
A lot of these comparisons are just setting up kids to fail. That just seems mean
Bro. You act super smart but your insight is after the fact. Obviously hindsight 20/20. Stop acting like you would have done a better job at drafting NBA players.
and his knocking of chet also seems wrong now bc chet’s defensive prowess and offense did translate to the SL
this video is just the defintion of hindsight is 2020 but like...whats the point lmfaooo
Why do all white players have to be compared to white players
white guy on draft = Larry Bird
Hold on pimp. I heard that slick “he’s not that good” about Luka. You know statistically he’s on pace to be the GOAT, and it’s not really close, right?
lol no
Who said Reggie miller was a superstar?
not that good” 8:30 on luka is that talking about into the draft or now, cuz rn luka on pace to get easily surpass bird all time
Bird is like top 8 all time so saying easily is a stretch.
+ why y’all comparing to him they play a totally different brand of B-Ball 🤦🏾♂️
amare compared to wallace isn’t that bad
Any white player: Larry Bird
If you’re around 6”7 and white you just get compared to Larry Bird.
Some of these are not bad at all
Love ya
Bruh hedo a buck stop hatin
Your nba top 30 is terrible
second
16th
