JT, if you were his trainer what would you have him focus on right now. I would have him focus on making threes so an NBA team will pick him up. Then he can work on his other skills during his time there to get into the rotation.
They created the team specifically for Jalen Green. If the other players was smart they would’ve seen that as a red flag. Glad It worked out for Kuminga tho
Great Video. Yeah, I watched Nix in High School and in the G-league. He always looked out of shape. I thought he would have at least improved his shooting but looks like he did not. Unfortunate.
Nix made the right choice for him. It's sounds like he would have at least got exposed on the collegiate level. At least he was able to access generation weath at before that.

I think people who went through Ignite underestimated the fact that a lot of college basketball coaches have the experience with young players to let them know what they can improve on before they go pro or when mightbeacgood timr to go. Another thing is that college basketball still has elite talent (all Americans, guys who developed to NBA caliber finding out where they need to improve, etc).
Blame your parents for conceiving you earlier than expected🤷♂️😅. A lot of the future prospects will have had an easier road to success aka financial stability/generational wealth b/c of the sacrifices made by the previous generations so that they could prosper the way they are now. If it hadn't taken this long for N.I.L deals to be put in place I doubt players like him would've bypass playing NCAA🤷♂️.
I personally believe only "generational" (or as close "generational" as possible) esque American prospect should consider going pro. The grassroots system just doesn't develop talent well enough.
@@DiorInEveryStore By default. There's literally no other loophole for American talent. AAU is where prospects display their talent to put themselves on recruiting radars. Does that mean their individual skillset are being groomed to become the best PROFESSIONAL they can be? No. Not necessarily. AAU has been hijacked for years, but besides that, the brand of ball being played in that setting requires no actual thinking of the game and no comradery with personnel, both which are necessary to win games and ultimately survive in high level professional leagues. It's comparable to NBA regular season style of play opposed to Playoff basketball where the game slows down, reads need to be made in tune in order to capitalize on defensive errors, and every single possession means that much more.
I agree with everything said , but I honestly think the lack of production at NBA level is simply lack of adequate opportunities or PT. I still think hes an intriguing prospect as more of a burly all around physical defensive point guard. I think if he gets a real shot he could be adequate all around. Give him 10 - 15 mpg consistently off the bench I could see him being decent on defense , 3-4 rpg & 3-4 Apg , along with 5 - 6 ppg. His jumper doesnt look broken to me. Overall if he keeps developing I could see him kinda developing into a guy whos not phenomenal in any one area , but rather just average in everything - just a solid bench guy. Sorta like what Aaron mckie became , except I saw Mckie more as a shooting guard / small forward as primary position who was versatile enough to play some point guard as well. Nix would be more primary PG , but down the road possibly having 3 position versatility being a bit bigger & a solid rebounder for a guard. I see him more as a playmaker. All hes really gotta do is get his outside jumpshot to go in consistently at around 35 -37 % from 3. I think that will encourage teams to keep signing him as a cheap 3rd string point guard each season , until he can gain more experience & confidence in himself on the court. He kinda has that bulk to be a kinda bully ball point guard when hes slashing. I have confidence he can live up to that as long as he keeps developing. Probably never be a star , or even a starter - but rather a versatile, solid off the bench playmaker who can body a guy up on D, grab a few rebounds, & make some good outlet passes.
@presley.25 I said he's a point guard a few time's lol. You're right though - hopefully within the next year or 2 , his best bet is developing minimal a 35 -37% 3pt jumper. If he can do that , it will buy him a 2way or end of the bench roster spot where he can continue developing the rest of his all around game. I feel like he's got the instincts to be an above avg playmaker.
YES IT WAS A BAD IDEA B/C FAMILY & FRIENDS WERE TELLING HIM THAT HE WAS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICE BREAD SKIPPED OR DID NOT STAY IN COLLEGE LONG ENGOUGH GOT TO THE NBA & GOT SLICE UP LIKE BREAD & PROBABLY OUT THE NBA & THIS YOUNG MAN IS WAY BETTER THEN BRONNY JAMES ITS GOING TO BE HORRIBLE FOR BRONNY JAMES DID NOTHING AT USC EXCEPT HAVE A FAMOUS FIRST & LAST NAME NO CAPPING
There should be no reason why the Ignite shouldn't prepare you better for the league than college. I just think these players that went to the ignite were never truly as talented as we thought they were. I also feel like guys who play for ignite think the g league game is too similar to the league and adapt like that rather than adjusting to the league like college players.
Aye man. This stunted growth is a little premature. They’re a lot of guys around his age that aren’t even in the league at all…like Amari Bailey, Josh Christopher, Isaiah Todd, etc. At least he’s still on a roster getting an NBA check.
I actually think he did the right thing. I think he would’ve been exposed in college. Even with a good program and coach, just don’t think he would’ve cut it on an athletic level.
You should do one on that Kentucky point guard. Devin was his first name I don’t remember his last name my bad. He was in the same class as Terrance Clarke & Brandon Boston
The Ignite was horrible. Personally, they should’ve just made it a development offseason program for HS seniors and college players to better prepare them in general (get college looks, nba scouts, etc). They’re playing 20+ yr old men at 17-18 with years of development ahead of them, so they won’t look as good. Idc who they are.

Ignite was really a death sentence for some guys career
The G-League Ignite is really for the unanimous top ten players. Period.
They created the team specifically for Jalen Green. If the other players was smart they would’ve seen that as a red flag. Glad It worked out for Kuminga tho
@@yrnx9334 This is true but remember if you are a rookie you don't have much say so as to where you will get drafted.
Not Jalen green
Kinda hurt J.Hardy, it DEFINITELY hurt I.Todd etc
Getting to the money is always a good idea. If bro got exposed in college he would’ve went undrafted n left with nothing
Great Video. Yeah, I watched Nix in High School and in the G-league. He always looked out of shape. I thought he would have at least improved his shooting but looks like he did not. Unfortunate.

u have a point but like you failed to say is he a point guard he need to either be fast shifty or smart and with a good jumper and he has nun rn
