Why do they only compare players to others in the same race or skin color. I mean can’t a European player ever be compared to a black guy? Klay Thompson was compared to Marco Bellinelli, I think because of the similar skin color smh. I’m just waiting for the next Asian prospect’s comparisons. They’ll say he’s a blend of Jeremy Lin and Yao Ming.
Ranking every teams best season You choose either how far they got in the playoffs or the regular season Say the starting 5 some benching pieces the coaching staff Basically just describe the season what happened memorable moments and all that and then describe the playoff run
Typically, scout reports are meant to describe a player's play style. Some people forget that when scouts make these comparisons they don't refer to the potential. A recent example of this is Trae Young. Everybody compared him to Curry. His playstyle are similar, but his potential is another story. He might become worse, he might reach him, he might become better, no one can know for sure. The only thing we can assume is that their way of playing the game are similar
Hey Austin, grait video, but I suggest to look how Alexey shveds career turned up, he became a reel star in the euroleage, and led the league in points last year. He’s no penny hardawey, but he is very good. Any way I like your content and hope you’ll do more videos.
lol IMO scouting is only half of it.... player development is where the other half is if a player will live up to their promise... getting the right opporunity(i know this is NBA, but i'm using football as an example, with Ben Foster getting placed in IR during preseason and Steve Slaton struggling.. without those happening, Arian Foster may never have gotten the opportunity to play on a Texans team that developed a strong OL at that time.. Ben Foster, instead of Arian Fosterm could have gotten a HOF career if it wasn't for an untimely inury) can make a difference to a player's career.. now back to basketball, just look at oladipo in OKC and IND, who would have thought him to develop into an allstar when he became the primary focus of offense instead of westbrook.. if oladipo was still in OKC, he would like be just another role player while westy is still in town similar to what seems to happened to schroeder.. also playing for the right coach/system can also determine a player's growth.. if kawhi didn't got traded to the spurs on draft day, do you think he would be as great as he is right now with pop's coaching?? heck lets go back to the 80's and say if the bulls didn't fire doug collins, would pippen have developed into the HOFamer eventually??
I don't know anything about football but i agree 100% with you. Scouting is about comparing playstyles and NOT potential. Potential is a completely different story
Here is the problem with scouts. They don't want to miss the next big thing so they fall in love with highlights. Most of these guys you mentioned looked like a hall of Famers against weaker competition. But if you looked at their bad games where they played no defense, terrible work ethic, Darko hated pro basketball, and then their lack of desire to win. Scouts could basically say that 90% of rookies won't make it but then they would lose their jobs.
To be fair, Giannis was 6'9 190 lbs on Draft night. Noone couldve imagined that he will be 6'11 and 250 lbs of pure muscle just a view years later... he looked (and moved) like an even skinnier Durant, just without the jump shot.
ok its unfair to Darko that you all talk smack about him, he was drafted by pistons who didnt need him, didnt get any guidance or playing time, and was in this sick draft... his problem isnt not being good enough or having talent, its not good coach, team, not getting playing time or help. I remember watching pistons games atm , he got to play in trash time only ... ffs..
Nic batum isn’t a bad comp. in his day batum could score, create, grab rebounds, and play D. Giannis was a huge question mark as an 18 yo who played in the Greek second tier
Do a video where it’s best teams if every player with the same jersey number played together. So team 3 would be like Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, cp3, team 0 would be Westbrook, dame etc.
A team scout's job is to go and physically watch players and get as much info as possible and give it to the people in charge. These projections are from people that watch tape and aren't employed by actual teams. Their projections are ceilings for these players. Yes, they get it wrong a good amount, but it's easy to judge in hindsight lol.
Guys, scouting is about comparing playing styles and NOT potential. For example, Trae Young was heavily compared with Curry. Their playstyles are similar, almost identical, but Young's potential is another story. He might become a bust, he might reach him, he might become better. We can't really predict that. What we can predict and what scouting is all about, is comparing playstyles
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 No, you can never know a player's true potential because it is determined by multiple factors that we cannot predict or fully effect. You never know how much the player has the motivation and the work ethic to become better and better. You never know how a team will focus and develop this player, you never know how a player is gonna be effective by fatigue, pressure etc etc. There are very talented players at all levels, high school, college, NBA. But, not all of them become great. Look at Andrew Wiggins for example, this guy had the world in his feet, every advantage to become great, but it didn't happen. Its impossible and unfair to predict a player's potential, or at least when u insist that the X player will become a legend or smth. Scouting is mostly and should be about playstyle, and then we can make some assumptions about his potential. Again, I will refer to Wiggins. When he was in high school and college everyone compared his playstyle to a mix of Lebron and Kobe. That's true, he indeed was a mix of those legends, but that doesn't mean that he will reach their level
I thought the nba comparisons started before 2000 because i remember Steve Francis comparison to Gary Payton and he was drafted in the 90’s and I think I remember Shawn Marion compared to grant hill
I don't have issues with most of the comparisons. Eddy Curry out of H.S. was more polished than Shaq was after his first year in college. Beasley is a good comparison to Melo, but his off the court issues have been his biggest issue. Wade - Arenas is just odd polar opposite players Nobody expected Giannis to grow some more, put on 40lbs of muscle and focus on scoring around the basket instead of working on his shot. Any scout that called that one needs to give up their time machine
Don't blame Milicic for being picked, the Pistons blew a 2nd overall pick on him and then put him on the bench where he couldn't progress. All the pistons' fault, and milicic didn't deserve that. Bosh or Wade would've been awfully messed up if they were given no minutes and no consideration, too.
actually giannis was pretty good at shooting before he came in the league. but some shooting coach told him he was shooting wrong but he was shooting right. so now he cant shoot
Kwame Brown may have not lived up to be as number 1 pick,but he was serviceable. He played 13 seasons. Average years for a nba player is 3-4 years. A. Bennett was worst bust of all.
Some of these players were messed up by bad managment like Alexey Shved who is one of top 5 players in euroleague and he has a killer jumpshot but basketball is different in Europe and in NBA and Darko Milicic was dominating in Hemofarm but in NBA didnt show the numbers he was showing in Hemofarm

That’s what they thought his name was back then
Wtf my name is Sharma to
Great vid Austin keep it up
Gilbert Arenas was a Superstar so comparing Wade to him was a good comparison.
Do a rank all the coaches in 2020 season
Lol u literally said that the Michael Beasley comparison wasn’t that bad
This video is a waste of time
Lol hes not lying
okay but Beasley is literally Melo from the left.
Ok
Ranking every teams best season
You choose either how far they got in the playoffs or the regular season
Say the starting 5 some benching pieces the coaching staff
Basically just describe the season what happened memorable moments and all that and then describe the playoff run
When I was in highschool, DeShawn and his Washington Union teammates used to put on a show kicking our butts. Lol. That dude was a beast.
So to get things clear are they trying to compare play style, or level of skill mixed with play style.
Typically, scout reports are meant to describe a player's play style. Some people forget that when scouts make these comparisons they don't refer to the potential. A recent example of this is Trae Young. Everybody compared him to Curry. His playstyle are similar, but his potential is another story. He might become worse, he might reach him, he might become better, no one can know for sure. The only thing we can assume is that their way of playing the game are similar

you should make a video about the best draft day comparisons
a comparison is a player who plays a similarly to that player but it doesnt mean they will ever become that player
Made me spit my water when someone was compared to MJ😑

Hi Austin sweatt your the best basketball youtuber
Draft day comparisons are not what the player will turn into, rather who the player plays like.
Beasley could be melo level if it wasn’t for the off court issues
He's melo but ONLY from the left.
“i mean at this point what are scouts even for”💀💀😭😭
Wait, wasn't the thumbnail a picture of someone on the bobcats being compared to Larry bird at first?
