Skal Labissiere Was Supposed To Be The #1 NBA Draft Pick! What Happened? Stunted Growth

- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2024
- Today’s feature has been called one of the more interesting cases of a draft prospect by NBA scouts, who was rated as the #1 high school prospect in his class and projected to be the #1 overall pick depending on the year he’d have entering college. He was ranked ahead of multiple future NBA all stars, all NBA performers, and guys with. Real shot at one day sneaking into the hall of fame. Guys like Brandon Ingram, Dejounte Murray, Jamal Murray, Ben Simmons, Pascal Siakam, Domantas Sabonis. Even the eventual rookie of the year Malcom Brogdon. He was one solid year away from that type of NBA team investment into his talent, but wound up falling to the end of the first round, received limited opportunity because of his draft spot, and was out the league all together at just 23 years old. He’s 28 now and honestly the likelihood of him returning to the NBA and improving his bust status looks to be a window closed forever. Skal Labissiere Was Supposed To Be The #1 NBA Draft Pick!

Would you choose the bigger name school, that if you play decent there you can have an easier chance getting the the NBA. Or a smaller school you know you could dominate, but the spotlight is dimmer and the chance you're underrated is higher?
If you’re a 5 star recruit, you can go anywhere, so go where you’ll get the best development. If you’re a small guard that can shoot, Kentucky is probably a good fit, cause you can count on players like DJ Wagner underperforming.
then again i don’t think the school is the problem it’s the player
@@grapplerkedj wagner was giving a lot of opportunities to help his game he jus didn’t use it well
Smaller school at least I'll be better there rather than a top school & bright lights
If you can ball you can ball anywhere you'll eventually get exposed if you don't belong a lot of 5 stars got exposed in the league and a lot of underrated players have thrived
I used to get this mf on my team on 2k and train him to full potential 😂
Me too but i didn't train him to full potential because i liked him being our stretch 4
bro I forgot about him u know ball fr!
He gets requests from others but yeah he still has ball knowledge.
You don't see many Haitian ball players in the nba. Mario Elie, Olden Polynice, Samuel Dalambert, Nerlens Noel, Skai Labrossiere, Benedict Mathurin and Lou Dort.
all great players all got screwed over by the system
@@michael922 Mathurin is a key develop piece for the Pacers rn wym
Mario Elie won three championships. Probably the most successful Haitian ball player.
@@silversoulkenhe’s still early in his career, and the pacers are using him as a 6th man instead of molding him to be the #2 by Haliburton which shows he’s not a priority
That’s a decent amount bro, it’s not like Haiti is a basketball country
You can literally do one on about 90% of this class
Basically every player that didn’t make the HOF
Me and my brother stopped at a crosswalk to let pedestrians cross at the golden 1 center one time after a game. We saw Skal walking with his dad and yelled over “Hey Skal! Good game.” (He had just gotten whooped by an up and coming Giannis). He just looked at us like we were stupid and walked off. 😂 I’ll never forget that.
I thought he was gonna be part of the kings future with Fox, Hield, and Willie
Yet another testament to Cal's inability to coach and develop his players. He doesn't make time to see a player reach their potential
I’ve been saying this forever and people called me a hater. Cal holds players back but hypes up the players that don’t make it past the cracks because they’re just so talented. For every John Wall, there’s 10 Tyler Ulis, Isaiah Briscoe, and Archie Goodwin. Cal gets credit for Devin Booker who became who he is through his own work but yet we can’t blame him for the Harrison twins.
Every player that turns out to be a stud, it’s Coach Cal who developed them. Everyone who fails or has their potential stunted, it’s their fault and Cal has nothing to do with that.
Right and now he jumping ship
Before there was Isaiah Thomas, there was this man. A dominant PG from Cleveland State, a mid-major, that got them to the Big Dance. Back in the day, if you performed well in the tourney you got drafted. Period. He had good stats across the board but wasn't selected. Unfortunately, it was the first year the NBA reduced the draft to 2 rounds. Listed at 6'1" he was reportedly closer to 5'9". Maybe that's what scared teams away. They nicknamed him "Mouse" due to his diminutive size. But I still think this guy should've been in the league. What happened? JT, I need a video on this guy. Up next on Stunted Growth: Ken "Mouse" McFadden.
The 90% of stunted growth are players drafted by Sacramento!
Or players that go to Kansas
He just didnt have the toughness nor the right mentality to be a successful NBA Big Man...I remember watching One And Done which documented John Calipari the season Jamal and Skal were playing in Lexington in a specific scene i forgot who they were playing against but Cal was laying into Skal for not showing effort rebounding in Cals words he said "He doesnt give a s@$t about winning or he would have grabbed that ball" And now it really says alot about Skals career....a dude just happy being good never wanting really to be great and that's okay
Well said. 👍🏽
Wagner was a bad comparison kid has gotten every opportunity to succeed. Including starting over Dillingham who is clearly by far the better player and still stunk it up..
Damn you be comin out the woodworks i really be forgetting about these dudes
Some guys need more than one year. Everyone assumes Kentucky one and done’s are can’t miss prospects which yes most probably are but he even knew he wasn’t going to be a lottery pick. Should’ve stayed or transferred
Kentucky fan here, plain n simple lights to bright for him.
Great video. A major part of coaching is the ability to get through to your best players to push the right buttons to get the most out of them.
I loved him in Portland, he was a great backup big and he did show some flashes. that wrist injury did him in though
Two things
Overhyping high school players by the media (professional or amateur)
Going to coaches that have a reputation to maintain and stick to a certain system
Damn no lie I forgot all about him
He should have played at Memphis. He was a local celebrity here and would have been the main focal point of the team
Maaaaaaan this a good one. Wanted my Raptors to get him at #7. Poetl didn't pan out completely but he's at least a starting center whereas dude...
This video reminded me of a player you should do next: Billy Preston. He was another athletic, skilled big man who I think had about 30 D1 offers in high school. To my knowledge, he ended up never playing in an NBA game! Would love to see a deep dive on him
Agreed. He had some eligibility issues at KU, and eventually left the program. No idea where he ended up.
Are you a Jayhawk fan?
Not a KU fan, specifically, but I'm a big fan of following prospects develop from high school to the NBA. Billy Preston was on e of those guys who seemed to have a new video made about him every other day@@luckyluciano6552
He actually did a few years back…

Skal was never a basketball player. He was a tall guy that happened to play basketball. He had his struggles due to his lack of competitive spirit. But in the end, he was able to help his family and provide a nice living for himself. I would like to think that should be the goal of all professional athletes. I hope he finds his way back into the league.
Ayton has the same mindset
Facts at the end of the day it’s just a job for him and he is still successful in his field
Ooò
If you just said all that.... knowing it's someone out there that lives and breathes basketball and wants that spot...why would you hope this guy finds his way back to the NBA just to take a spot another youngster could have....🤔
This is the NBA. This isn't City League Basketball where everybody gets a turn.🙄They don't hand out positions just to do it. If he's taking someone's spot it's because he earned it. If he works really hard, a man with those natural gifts could be a star. What a Helluva story that would be.@@cuttycut2324
There’s something to be said for self responsibility. A guy that lacks competitiveness and toughness probably wouldn’t have turned out better by transferring to a less competitive school. At most you get like an Anthony Bennett situation where he dominates mid majors but fails in nba,
Remember him. I was wondering whatever happened to him.
Gotta Do one On diamond Stone #9 Recruit in the same Class As Skal Bro Was Boogie With rim protection. Remember him on 2k17 Had like 95 Potential he was a Dawg. think he Is overseas Don’t Know though
Can you do Brian Oliver from Georgia Tech
John calipari can't keep killing these kids career
If he hasn't improved yet even playing against competition overseas at 28 it's a wash..
Kings had no clue how to use him
You gotta do Dan Dickau.
Do Andris beidrens. Probably misspelt. Went from double doubles to broken
U could probably do alot of the late 90s early 2000 warriors actually
He got the Nick Anderson problem
@@lukesmith9692 lmao. Except he wasn't relied on for anything once the "we believe" warriors actually started winning. Arenas had the nick Anderson big after LeBron let him know he needed to hit both free throws
Do Sean Kilpatrick all American at Cincinnati and one of my favorite college basketball players of all time
Do Bruno Cabocolo!! Mr. “2-years away from being 2-years away”,
I used to cook with him on 2k
It wouldn't have mattered what school he went to. The small school wouldn't have enough competition on their schedule and the large school could easily "defeat" him mentally (as we saw). You answered your own question on stunt #2
Do Raef LaFrentz pls 😂
🚨Hear Me Out🚨
I know this is primarily a channel dedicated to basketball but I would love hearing your insights on Boxing athletes that didn’t quite maximized their potential.
Could you do more SG features about boxers? I’d like to suggest Zab Juda or Pernell Whitaker.
I think we could all learn from their Triumphs and Follies.
Jay Edwards please! Love the content!
New request: G League Ignite
You gotta do one on demar Johnson from cinci dude was raw with Kenyon Martin
Never mind i found it…u did it a while ago
Can you do matthew hurt?. He is considered #1 in highschool during his freshman season in h.s
You should do Amari Bailey next
I love your videos but no way any of those dudes sneak into the HOF (I hope)😂
He said Ben Simmons lol
I remember him
Looks like if hes got any desire to improve at all a team could use him as a back up big kinda in the sorta role Luke Kornet used to be used in. Strictly an outside shooter / shot blocker. Now look at Kornet , with the celtics hes actually improved his toughness, rebounding, shotblocking , efficiency and interior presence significantly. Its funny because Kornet came into the NBA skinny and mainly a 3pt shooter who was skinny & not very physical. Now he rarely shoots threes and most of his buckets are dunks or putbacks....very physical and smothering 7'2 guy. Kornet is also 28 - 29 I believe.
Do Jaylen hands next
All hat no cattle JC 😊😊
How many guys’ stock actually rose after going to Kentucky for a year? Not many. I can only think of Shai. He prob wasn’t even a Pg coming in and got plugged into that role and now he’s where he’s at but it took a long time too
Do Chris sky walker next McDonald’s all Americans and Florida player
Cal didn’t even use towns the right way and it cost him lol
Skal had some skill, you could see it. Just didn't work out
Fun Fact: I went to high school with his legal guardians. The Hamilton's, his adoptive mom and I took a few classes together. Her name is Shaneka......Olive Branch High school.
❤
Brandan Wright
He was pretty good player Team Just Never Gave him A Chance Kings didn't Give Him A chance Atlanta Hawks Never Gave Him A chance
I don't think he could've average 20 and 10 in any major college program and don't think there was much demand for 6"11 mid-range face shooters without 3 point range who weren't elite at it. Add to that he was soft both mentally and physically. So I don't think the story would've turned out much different regardless of what School he went to.
Have you done Eric Paschall yet?
I think skal should of went to another school. But he was not averaging 20 and 10 I say with his skill set more like 12 and 6 which is good but his biggest issue was he was to soft and got pushed around. Even when he was able to get into his spots for his style he was pushed around.
Pre-stunt: "How can I make money off of a basketball player?" aka Gerald Hamilton
Skal was better than we seen. He was never going to be a 20/10 guy not at a top school like Baylor or UT which are still top programs. He plays just like trey lyles with less post game. Who also went to Kentucky AND has played i think 2 stints with the kings
m.ruclips.net/video/WnpjRuXc9Ig/видео.html
Recent footage of him going to work
No disrespect but he was terrible I use to watch Kentucky games in disbelief I wasn’t surprised he wasn’t good in the nba this was when i learned nba takes players off potential instead of if they can actually play
Who?
One of the most overrated college players in recent years. I thought he was awful in college and I was correct. Being tall and having a long neck doesn't make you a basketball player.
He was never that good 😊
And sometimes it’s really that simple
Im sorry this dude was soooo ass... I cant believe he went 1st round.
This dude don’t know jack about about ball. He’s just a UK hater sounds like😂
He wasn't that good anyway, he was just tall ,it's the eye game for me he was weak !!!
He should have never been drafted
Never heard of him😳
Where is his father?
