Lonzo Ball turned out to be Curry with a 40 inch vert after all 😂
Seth Curry yeah, but Steph hell no! not even close!
Yeah Mike you gotta hold dat one homie…
Please stop. The meme should be dead. Just let it die...
Mike didn't see when I tagged him in a post on Instagram saying this EXACT thing 😂
It’s true! !!KorzemGOD!!
So my dad works with someone who had a husband that worked for the wolves at the time in the front office. This was when they got the #1 pick. The reason she said that they took KAT was the individual workouts. Okafor came in with an entire group of 20+ of his friends and didn’t take it too seriously while KAT showed up with his Dad, was very quiet, asked questions about Minnesota and wanted to just work on basketball. This made Saunders fall in love with him and it’s what made the decision.
Best decision they ever made
This is actually why I find LeBron impressive. He had more fame in high school than Okafor did his entire career, yet he never let it impact his game. And on the other end I find shaq impressive for the opposite, he never gave his 100 to perfecting all aspects of the game, never tried to pass or shoot yet hes one of the greatest. I can only imagine he'd be the goat if he did.
Okafor should've realised he's not shaq, but I guess the reports and articles got to his head.
@@dallastx3322 i dont like kat as a wolves fan but thank FUCK it wasnt a steph 2.0
@@charliehubbell7371 how do you not like kat as a wolves fan? great determined guy who works hard, an elite modern center who’s perfected most aspects of his game
Imagine thinking that Thon Maker was going to be a future MVP 😭😜
His metric stats were ahead of Giannis’ during the same years in their careers, plus Giannis said he was the only person who was in the gym as much as him, and he was taller and had a better 3pt shot than Giannis. If coach Sweeny never left for Detroit, maybe they get more potential out of him, but no one thought he was definitely going to be an MVP just that he had the possible potential maybe to be a 2nd Giannis with a little more height and better 3pt shot.
Thenias lasted longer than Thon
Aa
what are you talking about thon maker is the goat.
Honestly had me fooled
There are many “stars” in the NBA right now but we don’t even know it because basketball, even starting all the way from high school is based solely off of opportunity, politics, and coaching. These players just haven’t been on the right teams and haven’t been given the opportunity to prove themselves. It sucks to think about because it happens all the time and only so many players can be given the spotlight.
True, prime Draymond Green was a star and DPOY, but If he was drafted by someone else I don't think they would use 100% of his potential. I think same goes for Jokic. Different team wouldnt see his potential and wouldnt use 100% of his skill.
This is a bit of a long story so I’ll shorten it:
I had the same coach for about 5 years. Just because I was bigger than everyone else, I was put in the paint. It was dumb. We were ALL taught how to shoot, and even if I was out-shooting some of the smaller guys, they would be out on the perimeter and I was put in the paint just because I was bigger and they were smaller. Eventually that coach decided to change up his practice style, so I was barely taught how to shoot and defend the perimeter. For the last 2-3 years, I’ve basically had to teach myself how to shoot, pass, and defend the perimeter.
@@AM-dl7ot excellent point‼️‼️
ELITE comment
@@Anthony01538 right same thing here I was the best shooter on the team in high school but I was in the paint since I was 6’2🙄 didn’t help that everyone on the team played hero ball and would put up some stupid shots anyone who has an incompetent coach is set up for failure
I don't know why, but the mental and "will" aspect of the game is so damn underrated. Look at Giannis. We knew he had raw talent, but NO ONE thought he'd be one of the greatest players of all time. But he has elite work ethics and pure determination to get better each and every day. A lot of players have the physical tools to be great but it doesn't happen because they don't have the mentality or work ethic to get there and it's just sad. Mentality can go a LOOOOONG in aiding a player to go from good to great
« Where there is a will there is a way »… You’re exactly right ! In the league and in life in general !!!
Hard work beats talent when talent isn’t working hard
Completely agree!....when Talent is willing to work hard....watch out. Lol (you get MJ or the Greek Freak)
Call me crazy, but after watching giannis in the 2015 playoffs, I knew he was gonna be great it was just a matter of when. You seen it in his early years. Hard working and a hustler and that’s why when he took off in 2017, I knew it was over.
M. Bamba
The Kings are cursed. So many all star potential careers have died here. When we see a little bit of light, it never lasts lol.
Isiah Thomas

Well it’s not a curse then is it , it’s the kings being a shit organisation

Legit Pat Beverly in a nutshell
@@ZayK-WithDaDraco pat bev was a star in high school and college?
@@mbayediop1094 yeah bro averaged 30 points
@@ZayK-WithDaDraco oh shit never knew he was like that 🤣🤣
I actually went to high school with Thon, he got so much hype and attention because he was 7 feet tall. . . but guess who else was on his team at my high school, Jamal Murray who at the time was being completely overlooked hahah yikes
Canada nation!
that's a stacked highschool team damn
Jesus where did you guys go Basketball High or what?
This is interesting because of all the high school graduation year/lying about his age thing - what year did you graduate? I'm dying to know from someone who actually went to school with him how old he is haha
Orangeville prep?
i think part of what caused dsj’s downfall was like his mom died or something which really shook him mentally. i cant remember exactly but i j remember like 2 things happening that really shook his confidence.
And being sent to the Knicks
@@BabaYagaRacing he actually wanted to be on NY cuz he knew he had no chance playing in the same roster as Doncic, the Knicks were also in rebuild mode so he was not going to have a lot of pressure.
It’s New York there’s always a lot of pressure
@@alejandrobarquero1347 false: its well know Carlisle fucking despised him and wanted him gone, which Luka hated and didnt want to happen
People probably forgot that in New Orleans, Jahlil Okafor almost fulfilled his star potential with Davis not playing. Still sad to think how that didn't push through the next season. Injuries are also to blame.
marvin bagely is good in my opinion, just cant develop under luke walton... but thankfully he's gone now
He got drafted by the wrong team its not just Luke he needs to go somewhere with a winning environment some players can't thrive on losing teams period
yeah...a trash system is doomsday for a Rook...Luke was the issue...
@@godbodyrock I could see that... he couldn't develop the Lakers young guys either
@@DreDaDon16 the last time they actually developed was like a few draft classes before they drafted Kobe.
Never seen the Lakers produce a star by helping them since.
Lakers had dlo,Ingram,zo,Randle,Clarkson,Wagner and hart and when there traded all of a sudden they can shoot 3s and do what they where drafted for and more.
Same with kuzma all of a sudden he plays defense and can shoots and do post hooks again.
Trez was in the MVP race for a week kcp is doing a lil more better.
Lakers just can develop talent and soon after lebron retired and they have no cap space to sign anymore stars they are done for the next 40 years till they get that cap space back.
Same with the nets they digging they graves. Bucks are chill as they didn't waste a dime over when giannis got good.
Lakers are bums
He is Sam Bowie 2.0. He is a good but injury prone player picked between 2 superstars.
It’s crazy that in the 18-19 season the pelicans have 5 big men that could go off for 20 on any given night. I watched jahlil come off the bench behind Randle and dominate in the post alongside mirotic. It sucks that he never developed the jumpshot needed
Makes me sad as a Mavs fan knowing there was a chance we could have had Spider Mitchell and Luka
That's such an ugly lineup not a single one of them can play off the ball
@@Allensanor Mitchell plays off ball all the time when Mike Conley is on the floor with him, but with Mike being hurt he takes more of the on ball roll not really sure what you’re watching
If u got mitchell chances are u may not have gotten Luka
Definitely need at part 2 this need to be a series every 3-4 years
This video was very telling, and shows what kind of player you need to be to succeed in today's NBA. Even if those players are talented, it doesn't mean they'll pan out.
they need to know there role and stop being a primadonna
@@fiebz3835 Facts. You’d be surprised how many players can become great players in the league but it’s just because of the situation they’re in on the team.
Kevin Knox was supposed to be similar to Khris Middleton
I think he was supposed to have a KD ceiling or something crazy like thT
Never watched Knox before. Didn't know he was getting those comparisons
@@tj5180 he got them at the draft. Especially to KMidd.
Hawks sure are hoping so.
DS Jr paired with a more fitting head coach would’ve allowed him to blossom much more.
Yeah i agree, as an NC State fan that 2016 season with him was supposed to be special we had a top 5 recruiting class but we went 16-17 and the head coach got fired, i always hoped he would be an all-star but man he just hasn't had the best luck...
100% disagree that Jahlil Okafor could have become a HOFer in the 80s or 90s. He can't rebound, is not athletic, can't defend the rim, and doesn't have a consistent mid range jumper. Every Allstar center in the 90s could do at least one of those things. Rik Smits is the closest to him in terms of lack of all around skills, but even Smits could hit consistently hit the mid range jumper and was better at defending the rim than Jahlil. Rik Smits could probably have averaged 20+ multiple times, but his lack of rebounding, mobility and rim protection kept him from getting star minutes. Jahlil would not get enough minutes, period.
Great video as always Mike! Happy to see your Bulls killing it! Still waiting for that Pittsburgh expansion team video!🖤💛🏀✌️
I love these videos mike, we OGs know the first vids on this channel.
Appreciate you my man!
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby bro who cares lol. You're going to watch the videos anyway, so.
Yeah the fact that thon maker never improved any with his frame means the rumors of him being 25 when he was drafted have to be true
I got hope for Marvin bagley too he just need a restart on a new team Ya know
the argument of Bagley not improving much in 3 years is the same argument you can say about Ben Simmons after 4 years. I actually believe the Kings stifled Bagley's growth (not like Philly doing any and everything to help Simmons improve as a player) and in turn that hurts him now since they can't get a team that is interested.
i watched Bagley in HS and I immediately thought that he would get exposed in the league if he went. The issue with these 'elite' players playing in these private schools is that there's no real competition.....so when some of them get to the league...you can tell they are not used to playing with anyone as athletic as they are.
A lot of his colleagues from the draft class have improved significantly, like Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Collin Sexton, Mikal and Miles Bridges, etc.
Marvin Bagley and Cam Redish needs to be on the Spurs. He will do great in that system with that talented young core.
"Teams were not interested enough in a player that has stayed as the same player from his rookie year to year 3"
Someone call morey to tell him he over selling
Another great video.. been watching for awhile didn't know I wasn't subscribed... BUT I AM NOW...
Honorable mention: Frank Kaminsky even though he’s doing well this season
How dare you
Is he playing still
@@tj5180 He's out for the season with an injury
They had his draft profile as a Larry Bird meets Dirk..
On the best team in the league
Your right about Thon. The Australian team was selecting non NBA players ahead of him for the Tokyo olympics.
he withdraw from the olympics.
I wanted Thon Maker to succeed so bad. I remember watching his high school mixtape and being in awe. I figured he would end up being an average nba player. It seems like he never had any confidence and didn’t turn into the rim protector I hoped he would be. The crazy thing is that he’s not even a bad player. He has good footwork and a nice stroke but was never able to put it all together
Of course Bagley is not too 7 in redraft. Here is mine:
1 Luka Doncic, Phoenix Suns
2 Trae Young, Sacramento Kings
3 Deandre Ayton, Atlanta Hawks
4 Collin Sexton, Memphis Grizzlies
5 Shai Gilgous Alexander, Dallas Mavericks
6 Jarret Allen, Orlando Magic
7 Miles Bridges, Chicago Bulls
8 Micheal Porter jr, Cleveland Cavaliers
9 Jaren Jackson Jr, New York Knicks
10 Devonte Graham, Philedalphia 76ers
11 Gary Trent Jr, Charlotte Hornets
12 Marvin Bagley, Los Angeles Clippers
13 Anfernee Simons, Los Angeles Clippers
14 Mikal Bridges, Denver Nuggets
Mikal Bridges under Anfernee Simons?! What is this list
@@Oleary-mu3jt Simons averaging 13 PPG this yr
@@hyperhooperbasketball mikal is averaging 13.7 while anfernee is averaging 11 and mikal gets more rebounds while leading his team to more wins and playing much better defense
Thon Maker has a great karate kick. If you know, you know LOL
Ah yes, pretty gago ngl
marvin bagely iii looks like giannis with longer hair and a beard lol
Thon would have been a beast if he stayed in mil. Look how long it took to develop the freak. He needed the same time and treatment, but I’m sure giannis was tired of waiting and losing. He got Isaiah Thomased
Notice that 3 players have all been on the pistons in the last couple of years and there is talk they should trade for Bagley 🤦🏻♂️
My poor pistons 😔
As a Duke fan, I do have concerns that the top two were players that were drafted from the Duke program…
Let's not forget Justise Winslow,another bust..
Trevor Duval
Amazing content
Thon Maker having that promo clip “now lets do something great”. That felt like he is a bust already.
Bagley without a doubt can revive his career. I feel he needs to reach out to someone like Andrew Wiggins on how to revive his career with the expectations on his shoulders. Dennis Smith Jr I can also see being a 6th man of the year contender or winner down the road.
The thing is Wiggins was NEVER a bust. He always averaged high 10s, low 20s in ppg. That is not a bust. But he just wasn't a superstar.
Wiggins has always been a hyper athletic version of Nick Young. At least in Golden State he has started playing defense.
@@Paulafan5 by definition he was a bust. A bust is someone who didn’t live up to there draft day comparison. People called him kobe Tmac bron all sort of great names and he never ended up being any of those let alone an Allstar. I honestly don’t think it’s his fault cause it’s ridiculous putting that on a man b4 his career even starts but you are right he isn’t as bad as people make it seem
As a hooper myself it kinda makes me mad when people say “oh he would’ve been better in a different era” because he could’ve definitely evolve his game they just have to put in the work but since forever everyone has been kissing their butt bc they are better than everyone else they think they don‘t have to put in extra work and become better
He'll never develop when all the trainers and coaches attention are with Giannis dum dum.
idk if anyone caught this but he said marvin bagley was ranked over zion, zion was in a different draft!
Thon Maker will live up to the hype of an MVP level player if you send him to the Golden State Warriors.
That would be a great fit.
*Anthony Randolph would like a word
How can they fall off if they’ve never even been on ? 🤔
because of the hype surrounding them before they fall off completely. Read between the lines.
🤣 fr
Finally, I've been waiting before I go to sleep. Lol. Btw I'm from Philippines.
Dennis Smith does play alot like Steve Francis. The issue is that guards with his playstyle aren't valuable in today's NBA.
That's it when you really think about it the thing that separates a college in high school all-star from them being an All-Star in the NBA is the playing time because if you have a good player in the game for like 30 minutes that is a big difference than playing 12 minutes the amount of good looks and shots assist that you could get in 30 minutes opposed to 12 minutes you can't expect the player to put up the same stats unless amount of time
Great Topic...thanks Mike....just what I was looking for!!!
Thanks Paul!
The fact that most of these guys at one point played for the Pistons is so funny to me as a nihilistic Pistons fan.
Just commented the same thing haha. And there is talk they trading for Bagley.
My poor pistons 🤦🏻♂️
I grew up watching the going to work Pistons, it’s a travesty what this franchise has become since that era ended. Tom Gores is a joke as an owner
@@Loganbub I really think a lot of it is more of Detroit just not being a desirable place to live. A majority of these superstars wanna go to these nice places and not freeze in this cold and rundown area. Either that or a big name market to fuel their ego and checkbooks. Would explain why Cleveland is always bad too.
@@piggybankvillan I mean yeah you are right but you are telling me they couldn’t draft good talent either? Market that aren’t desirable destinations for players have to be good in the draft if they want to succeed.
@@Nick-sr4fe Oh no, the Pistons have historically been a pretty bad drafting team and any decent players they get end up leaving or getting traded because our terrible management.
This is a good video Topic
11:31 do a video showing how many players stats improved or worsened by year 3
Mavs fan here. I loved Dennis Smith. I really want to see him succeed. Maybe he is an example of a great G-League or Chinese league baller.
you were the only one saying anything about thon maker😂😂
Thanks cuh
Dennis smith jr has been the best defending guard for a the blazers this year, not saying much but definitely is a average at least defender
You throwing wild shade
I'm thinking Thon Maker was a lot older than his draft agree.. it was rumors surrounding Thon about his agree draft night saying he was really close to 27 years old pretending to be 19.. Bagley being punished in Sac Town.. he better off leaving to get a fresh start but will have a low contract extension.
Jabari Parker average 20+ pts in his season in Milwaukee. Just back to back Acl injuries hit him hard
Jahlil Okafor's post up game was better suited for an earlier era for sure, but I also don't know if he could have been as good as hyped even back then because he's still too much of a liability on defense to have him in late in a close game.
Different era possibly different defence mindset
@@AD-ui6sk Maybe but being slow footed wouldn't help him even if he did care more.
Yes I remember Thon this guy got some high kicks from land down under.
Dennis Smith Jr was literally the definition of a guy who could only dunk.
If Thon Maker went to a team like the Rockets right now he would flourish
Ben Simmons
Markelle Fultz
Zion Williamson
I will never fall off when I get drafted into the NBA, you can guarantee that!
Wait a sec your the top prospect for the 2023 nba draft
weirdo roleplayer
I agree Victor, your work ethic is at the level of Kobe and Butler
This isnt actually him
@@enragedbear ur a casual for not knowing who he is
I was just at one of thons game in israel right now hes injured and hes on the same team as Anthony Bennett
After reading that article about Rick Carlisle, DSJ gets a minor pass in my opinion. Coach really had it out for him and had given up on him about halfway through the season.
uhh dennis smith has always been a decent defender, hes been good on defense for portland when he plays
I thought Dennis Smith Jr. was going to be in the mold of DWade and Spider Mitchell…damn, I F’d up that one…
Not gonna lie, Dennis is still a great player. Put him on a different, and I'm sure he'll produce. He's still young and raw, but nonetheless I'm impressed with his maturity not demanding teams with what he wants and only asked to be put on the G-league just so he could play more and hone his craft even though he'll earn less there. I hope he makes a comeback, better and stronger im the future.
The Music is back!
Korzemba acts like FDIC insurance for 250k isn't normal with all banks hahaha lol
Mike throwin shade with putting Bagley at #2. That’s where he was drafted don’t gotta remind me
I think Philly was literally the worst team for Okafor. At the time there were like 4 other bigs on the team when he got drafted one of which was Embiid. Definitely stunted his growth.
Thon Maker MVP was the worst nba prediction of all time. Busttt
Thon maker out here looking like Prometheus from the Prometheus and bob sketch
You should do a draft and put them all in the 80 then, Dennis, thin, and Jalil would do better. Let’s see it!
The man who got me into nba!!!!! Goat of 2016-17
Damn all these players have played and or have been in trade talks (Marvin Bagley) with the Detroit Pistons.
Do a vídeo on Neemias Queta
Thon Maker was HYPEEEE. But probably because of his height
Mike is goateed
wassup mike
Thon Maker was Op in 2k17 lol
I would put Emanuel Mudiay in this list too , so much potential in him
Noah vonleh as well
Marvin Bagley is good imo just needs a new environment
Do a what if video
What if Luka Doncic was never traded?
Bagley can still turn things around he really got the talent compared to the other guys on this list i mean look at randle he flourishing in new york just give the man the minutes
Maybe Thon Maker is like Dennis Rodman, he can be a defensive player i guess???
Don’t act like we don’t remember your Thon Maker video Mike
You forgot Nerlens Noel
These were all stars in their nba 2k rookie year games on mygm.
Where’s the music mike??
Great vid💯
I really wonder if these poorly run franchises would benefit from a relegation/promotion system. They are gifted with the best youth players in the world and don't even develop them properly.
The Kings got Marvin Bagley locked up in Sacramento lmaoo.
Damn, 3 of these guys were eventually Detroit Pistons and there's Pistons writers who want them to trade for Bagley.
That's just it. Where such style of play were the norm and would've become stars in their own right
Yea I thought Dennis smith would be how Ja Morant Is now
Ok I got it, Westbrook, Kemba, Smith Jr., Bol Bol and Tacko Fall all get traded to the Magic in the off-season. They run a three guard, two big lineup and let's see what transpires...
I believe in Bag heavily… y’all are seeing it now that he’s getting PT after the coaching change; bro can still be really good… I’d love to see him be great 😤😤
Ben Simmons would be in the list too!
I remember that John Wall post-surgery video. To be fair, I thought he was gonna carve up too
