Facts hate to say it cause a lot of these dudes seem like cool guys but the reality is mixtapes and highlight tapes made these guys look better than they actually were in most cases
100% correct. A lot of guys benefited from this, and he was definitely one of them. All his clips are high flying dunks often over inferior competition. You can't do that once you hit the league.
@@khad9675he averaged 14 and 6 as a sophomore at ucla and got drafted. Definitely didn’t disappear he’s playing in Europe now and probably found his niche out there
Nah. Watch that Lamelo vs Jaylen high school game. Lamelo was a sophomore and the talent level wasn’t even close. Jaylen had good size and was athletic but he can’t break anyone down and was a subpar playmaker.
@@thestylemind4922 But, Melo had the better team, so that plays a factor. Hands was basically the only D1 player on his team. So, they keyed in on him!
@@BjtheLawyer_exactly, I saw hands play army navy academy in San Diego, and he was the only good player on his team after his big man left the year before to ucla
@@dukestandard4743 ur dumb if u don’t think he was projected to be a first round pick going in to his freshman year, but he underperformed and came back for a second year and that’s when he dropped simply cuz he wasn’t a one and done and didn’t put up the 18,5,6 expected instead he averaged 14,3,4
I was one of the ones. Never truly a fan, but couldn't stop hearing the name and seeing the highlights. I seen the fall slowly come. Weirdly after tue sexton game, he never bounced back
Please do Michael Dickerson! Dude was a beast at Arizona and even had a couple good years in the league with the Rockets and Grizzlies and then literally DISAPPEARED only playing like 5 games his last year in the league.
Jaylen Hand was an IDOL for kids. He was a STAR in high school. He was all over those basketball pages. The NCAA screwed him over and a lot of other high school players. These young guys could've capitalized off their hype in HS. Now a lot of them are struggling to service. When ever i hear NIL, I always think of JAYLEN HANDS. Though he hasn't made it in the NBA, he should've been making bread in high school. Smh NCAA
Would like to see one on Shelden Williams...terrific player at Duke, then nothing in the NBA...He got drafted fifth overall, & his duke teammate JJ Redick got drafted 11th in the 2006 draft, most people thought he would be better than JJ, and then he was out of the league fairly quickly while JJ had a very long, very good, very productive NBA career.
@@cheddaman5169dudes be so thirsty to just try and run to the NBA as opposed to stayin in school workin on their weaknesses roundin out their game NS MAYBE waitin for a draft class more favorable to get drafted same thing happens to sharife cooper
One player I know all the hoopers on here would love to see one be done on is Marcus Lovett Jr. Still an elite player but injuries kept him from getting to the league
I was big on Jaylen, gave me somewhat of a raw Penny Hardaway feel with his game. He’s still got time, I believe he could be back in the league contributing.
Do Ed Gray my Guy!! He went to my high school j w north(Malcolm Lee McDonald’s all American and Me lol). Ed Gray was drafted in the NBA first round. Our rivals were riverside poly (Reggie and Cheryl miller) also riverside MLKing (Kawhi and Tony snell) .
UCLA ruined his career, they failed to put him in a spot where he could flourish and didn't even try to help him develop his game. And I knew it would happen if he had come up in the Baron Davis era he would have been a lotto pick based on athleticism alone
Even with the little tape you showed on him. It's obvious he's a 2 not a 1 and high school teams tend to run every thing through their best player especially their best guard so hes getting the point guard label just because he handles the rock more than everybody else. Guarantee his tape is nothing but iso ball
Jaylen doesn’t have good size, contrary to what this video is saying. I went to UCLA while Jaylen was playing there, and I’d see him at a lot of parties. He’s 6’2 at best, maybe 6’1. Also his frame is quite small when you see him in-person, he doesn’t have that type of nba ready body.
He played 3 months this season on the team of my city in spain (Palencia on ACB which is the first spanish league) really irregular, had like 5 good games rest were really mid
He’s Frank Ntilikina 2.0. A tantalizing prospect on first look but utterly average at the NBA level. His handle isn’t very tight , not great at creating separation, not a great shooter, and an average defender.
In Greece, he played strictly SG from the git go. Never at PG. We know him as a slasher at SG that comes off the bench and contributes in scoring. This year in Peristeri, has a chance to improve under coach Spanoulis at SG, he seems that he got better in his off ball movement and having a better shot selection.
It's NOT OVER... Go look through the annals of NBA History. Look and see how many Americans played in Europe and have NBA Championships. Mario Elie and Churck Brown come to mind immediately. Bill Laimbeer (yuck) and others. Look at Jaylen's Body NOW compared to when he left UCLA. That is a GROWN MAN.
2:40 When do we hear anything besides OLD NEWS and YOUR OPINIONS? Oh... We won't hear anything. 3:25 Mater Dei (San Diego) ain't got no Pub before or since! You're thinking Mater Dei (Orange County). 4:04 THESE DAYS going past the mid 2nd Round is a real problem 30 years ago a guy might come out as a "Sleeper" in the 3rd or the 4th. Different Era 5:50 Wrong... He was getting run with Kyrie all the time.
I remember hearing about him, but when I seen him I wasn't sure what the hype surrounding him was about. He didn't seem impressive to me in his HS highlights & he didn't show anything noteworthy in college either
But yet Dudes want me to believe Bronny James better than this guy !?? I mean he could one day! But imagine if Jaylen was Lebron son shit you wouldn’t hear anything trust me ! Wishing Bronny good luck tho
Everyone is not made for the nba smh 🤦🏿♂️…that’s y it means “No boys allowed “ just because you’re not a superstar in the nba it means your growth was stunted…I see you do videos on guys that played over 7 years in the league and u said they were stunted not everyone is gonna be a superstar in the nba like they were in college or high school
I remember his tapes when I was in high school and he exploded on the seen. Honestly shocked that he’s not even on a roster

Alot of these guys were better on RUclips clips than actual basketball.
A lot benefited from the RUclips basketball content surge.
Facts hate to say it cause a lot of these dudes seem like cool guys but the reality is mixtapes and highlight tapes made these guys look better than they actually were in most cases
Exactly
93% of his highlights are dunks....it's obvious...
100% correct. A lot of guys benefited from this, and he was definitely one of them. All his clips are high flying dunks often over inferior competition. You can't do that once you hit the league.
His growth stunt began with the ballislife duel with Colin. After this his stock and confidence began to plummet. Still a good player tho.
I was just saying this. When he got locked up by sexton dude disappeared
That’s what I was thinking too I think Colin Sexton ruined him 😭

Do Omari Spellman who left after Villanova’s 2018 national championship.
He look like don Q
He was an undersized center
Spellman is playing like Curry in the KBL
He was super hyped at one point

He averaged 14 and 6 as a sophomore at ucla and got drafted to the NBA definitely didn’t fall off he just found his career overseas
@@Hoopsquad69 he was projected to be a top guard before that game I mentioned. Now he's overseas. Far from what ESPN once had em
He needs better dribbling
We need one on Frank Mason III and Mark "Shakin' & Bakin'" Macon.
Can you do Jarett Culver next? 🥺
He was garbage, Minnesota wasted so many picks on guys like him. They got luck with Edwards
@@judahchild2612I was so disappointed in him man I wanted him to be good but he’s like an evan turner build
@@mikeyg9203 That would be a really good one. Very good college player, sixth pick in the draft and he's been doody as an NBA player.
he was all around decent but he’s not elite at one skill which is what you need in the nba everyone is a specialist at something
Yea the ball is life cut clips don’t always tell the whole story Jalen Lecque is another one everybody thought would be major in the league
They were both nice in real life its not like they was catfishin
Crazy, I rmb watching him daily when I was in middle school/high
WOW!! This was an interesting episode!! I remember my son telling me about this kid. I thought he was still sitting DEEP on the bench for BK. 🙏🏼😎👍🏽
I remember him & Collin Sexton got into it at Ball is Life practice. He deserved better. I liked his game.
Please do Michael Dickerson! Dude was a beast at Arizona and even had a couple good years in the league with the Rockets and Grizzlies and then literally DISAPPEARED only playing like 5 games his last year in the league.

He already made one on him. And bro is bro playing overseas
His handles were some of the craziest I’ve ever seen. He plays overseas
They had a lil documentary about him. I thought he was next. I still think he can find his way to the league he young
lol

no he can’t at this point
He needs to work on his dribbling more collin sexton locked him up and beef up a bit
lol no

video on Von Wafer please!
Mac mcclung needs to be done now the fanboys need a reality check.
No one really thought Mac would even be close to an nba rotation piece
@@ry_an. There are people who genuinely believe he deserves be on a roster.
one of my favorite hs players
Is this an updated vid on Jaylen Hands? I think you already did one years ago on him.
Just being able to dunk good shouldn’t mean your going to be a star at the next level
Hey im in the video at 3:26 - 3:30 lmfaoooo
Damn, I love this beat
I blame overtime. Theyre always posting HS highlights like these players are the next big thing. It has to stop.
Or people say "All flash and no substance "
Can you do Mike Mercer next….He was Lou Will high school teammate…
That collin sexton beef/battle broke him.
He shoulda stayed at UCLA all 4 years. Got that college resume up. Coulda been a late 1st or 2nd round.
Do Cassius Winston Next!
Thank you because I thought I was the only one who thought 14 a game is not an elite scorer. And it’s a good scoring average but it’s not elite.
Do Moses Brown
Moses Brown was overrated Hs prospect
UCLA ruined his career, they failed to put him in a spot where he could flourish and didn't even try to help him develop his game. And I knew it would happen if he had come up in the Baron Davis era he would have been a lotto pick based on athleticism alone

Every NBA team should have 2 picks, and they should have to sign those players to the active roster of their squad.

I looked at JH the same as DeAaron Fox. I believed they would have similar careers
His #1 Stunt his last name and dad was not James.

Mitch Mcgary! Threw his nba career away because he smoked weed

You should do john petty
Do Jarrett culver
He could’ve been like Ja Morant type player
PATRICK BEVERLY PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL IN DA LEAGUE PERIOD!!!!!! DEFENSE PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
Lamelo outplayed him as a sophomore. It was already written…
Trey burke has a similar game as hand but played minimal in the nba and is out the league now .
Trey Burke was solid Backup PG he just couldnt stay healthy
Frank Kaminsky he has not lived up to any of the hype and Charlotte fucked up when D-Book was waiting patiently

I was hoping he would make it to the league! 3 different high-schools in 4 years is a red flag 🚩, I don't think he was a very good listener.
Russell Westbrook averaged 12.7 as a soph, FWIW.
Russell Westbrook is at least a whole inch taller and played in the tourney which got a lot more eyes on his game
Sexton had him on lock.
