My theory: the Wembanyama thing is intentional. They’re forcing him to play to his weaknesses and shoot volume 3s and contested 3s. It’s about development and it’s about tanking. It forces Wemby to develop the KD shooting and face up skills. As an added bonus, the team (which wasn’t in contention this year anyway) learns how to play without Wemby saving them while getting a worse record and better draft pick. Over the offseason Wemby gains even more weight and strength and people forget about him a little. Now you have a monster.
@@kobblestone But that makes sense, you NEED in-game experience to develop PG skills & awareness. There is no development going on by having Wemby shoot the same shots he's going to get to take in practice.
@@CMeegs Wemby is and literally will never be a good shooter. Just because they confirmed that they gave him the green light to shoot more doesn’t mean he should
I'm convinced Wemby is allowed to shoot this much threes to improve in that department at a time where SA is not expected to challenge for the championship. I'm really not concerned with his 'disappointing' offensive performances (still 18 pts a night) when he's 20 years old and defending the way he is with 4 (!!) blocks a game
Exactly what I’ve been saying. He started very good last season, but was horrible the last few months of last season. And since then it’s been more of the same. Crazy how he got to like a 94 overall in 2k24 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@maxperek6322 not really, i like Hali as a player but since that injury last year he hasn’t been the same. He still has some good games like today’s but not at a consistent rate
I think the olympics deeply affected the NBA, the tendency for a lot of players is to make more 3p and in the olympics that was really the name of the game, USA almost lost to some sharp shooters from almost all good teams and in the end was Curry who saved everything with an insame 3p performance in the finals. So having said that... there is a guy who is adopting this style of play the best and that is Antman he is been crazy from 3p and I speculate to get even better since this kind of changes takes time.
One game doesn’t change what he said about the 3point hunting he doin I can play 82 games and shoot good 10 games isn’t that doesn’t change the fact the 3 point shooting isn’t abysmal not sayin he can’t improve over time but like he said just cuz he went 8/16 doesn’t change he’s shootin 22% from deep and sayin wemby was disappointing he’s definitely buggin cuz wenby is still getting it together

I think they are experimenting on Wemby they really force him to shoot everywhere. They don't intend win yet, they intend to improve Wemby because of how big the potential he has and for the spurs future and I think signing Paul is also an observation to know what players are capable for Wemby
As a spurs fan, we tend to make our rookies play positions they’re uncomfortable with so that later own they’re more well-rounded. We did this with Sochan last year.
For real I understood it at the time in essence even though I loved having tyus Jones on the team but mannnnn Marcus Smart just has not been in at all for us in the sample size we’ve been given
This was the right call for the video for the Grizzlies. Any time they pass him the ball for an open three, I cringe. He had a game where he finished 0-11 and missed 8 threes. We win without him.
As a okc fan it’s shai but it understandable why he struggling. He’s trying to add 3pt shooting in his game but he forcing way too much. Caruso isn’t shooting well but okc fans didn’t expect much offensively plus he been impactful defensively. Seems like this year they’re trying to make shai into more of a playmaker and decision maker which is a learning curve because he has good moments then he has frustrating turnovers.
As a Spurs fan the Thunder are still like the best in the West record wise. It doesn't hurt for the Thunder to experiment with further developing Shai. Ya'lls coach is literally taking a page out of Pop's playbook with development.
@ which is why i don’t mind it but a lot of okc fans are mad which I can understand but the fact that okc are still a top seed while experimenting shows how good they’re. If shai can actually become a better decision maker and 3pt shooter by the playoffs that only makes okc more dangerous.
As a Hawks fan, the most disappointing player isn’t a player. It’s the front office. We don’t have a clear #2 behind Trae. Jalen Johnson just isn’t that guy (yet). Losing Murray has hurt us offensively, although we are improved defensively there. We need another scorer. Plain and simple, you hit the nail on the head, Trae is asked to be a super hero every single night.
i actually dont think we need a second star i think that we need to replace clint bcs what the team needs is a good defensive center bcs jalen is developing risacher is developing and so is dyson so wewould have a very good defense and with a better center than capelawho gets rebounds the team would improve very much
I think its funny that people are like "Wemby is disappointing" when he's having an outstanding defensive year, arguably better than last year. Yeah he hasn't hit 40% from three but like its been 10 games too. The expectations are out of this world
Cuz his rookie year was supposed to be the worst he's ever gonna be. To perform relatively worse in his sophomore season (so far) is disappointing given his natural talent and the hype surrounding him. We've seen glimpses of greatness but he has yet to deliver that consistently. Furthermore, he now have CP3 and Barnes. His supporting casts are better now, so why the slow start? I want him to dominate
@@blablablaa14 you cannot be surprised that people have high expectations you realize that he getting goat comparisons as a prospect of course he going to get criticize when he not playing well
Some of y'all really fell for the Haliburton hype off of 30 good games, not even a full season, not even a dominant playoff run. And some of y'all went so far as to say he was better than Ja and SGA, smh.
Great player. Maybe he's not SGA, but he had an injury during playoffs. Just put up a 35 and 14 game, as well. He'll be great, and he has been a great playmaker since e tering the league
Hey, I like your format to where viewers can use their cursor to scroll thru and find the team you are talking about. Did you come up with that yourself? More content providers should do that.
Kuminga had a slow 3 game start but is now looking like the player we want him to be. Looked great against the Cavs and thunder, scoring from all 3 levels.
Picking up a player like KPJ who hasn't been in the league for a season for DV not only was a poor character choice pickup for the Clippers, but we should've seen this coming
I think wemby has played the most competitive basketball of any nba player in the last year and a half besides Coulibaly they both played into their French league finals went straight into summer league into a full NBA season and in the summer playing for team France I just think Wemby is a little tired and will get back to shooting better especially with Vassell coming back healthy
As a a S fan you're basically right, the only other person I can think of is Sam Merrill because of his down shooting % but he's still been great for the team as a fill in guy and energy boost.
As a Knicks fan, I disagree. I think Mikal Bridges has been underwhelming. We gave up all those picks to get him and his scoring has been inconsistent. OG has been a better defender and a better scorer than him to start the season. Bridges can’t seem to make a 3 if it’s not in the corner. Shot has not been fixed, he went 0/6 from three against the Pacers.
I just watched Celtics vs Bucks. I’m happy my boys won but Sam just couldn’t hit a damn shot. When I saw this video, I figured out of everyone, Sam would make the most sense because Jaylen’s been injured and everyone else is playing up or better than expectations.
Glad you didn’t pick Donte, because if his shot was falling he would be fine. Jaden is def the choice. I’m hoping Randle can help McDaniels open up his offensive game, they are similar body types/size
scottie had 3 games n was coming off an injury = Most Disappointing Player. The disrespect is honestly crazy, u made this video and edited n didnt stop to think once lmaooo.
The last couple of games is evidence enough that San Antonio letting Wemby develop his outside shot during the rebuilding phase is best for both him and the team in the long run. If he can capably space the floor, it'll give him more space to develop his skills down low. Besides it's not like he doesn't score inside and from midrange at all. He exhibited a ton of really sophisticated inside scoring moves just recently against the Kings for example. Why grind him down physically by having him fruitlessly battle much stronger bigs in the low-block all night? He doesn't have the body mass of an orthodox big - and likely never will - so expecting him to play like one would only serve to cap his massive offensive potential. Even on the defensive end you rarely see him operating in the low post. He often straddles the elbow and the perimeter, collapsing on the paint when opponents drive then using his length to recover to the perimeter on kickouts. Becoming a reliable 3PT shooter - which his excellent mechanics and 90+ FT% suggest is absolutely possible - combined with his playmaking and best-in-the-league defensive prowess is what will truly elevate Wembanyama to the MVP-calibre player draft scouts knew he could be from 16-years-old.
Jalen johnson was hard to watch for the first of the games we played so far, but trae is also i feel is not hunting his shot enough. Ik thats crazy to say but if u watch hawks game, u might see what im seeing. He also needs to take more midrange shots. Though to be fair to trae, he always struggles a bit at the beginning of the season
Yea find it hard to pick someone on the roster who’s super disappointing at the moment. Okongwu, Roddy, and Trae are in the running for that title though
It’s been exceedingly obvious that most of these guys aren’t working out in the off-season. A ton of players look rusty and like they haven’t shot a ball in a few months. And if they just got paid, it’s even worse.
For the Raps, overall I don't think the team has been disappointing as they're performing as expected. If I had to pick player, maybe Quickley, Bruce Brown, or Olynyk only cause they haven't been able to get on/stay on the floor. I'll go with Bruce just cause he hasn't been able to play to build up his trade value.
Tbf as a Nets fan I think we’ve overachieving and been playing a lot better than expected, beat the bucks and had close games with narrow losses to the Nuggets, Celtics and Cavs, 3 of the best teams in the league. I didn’t expect us to be 4-6 at this point
I’m glad the Marcus Smart take has aged barely, he’s really turning things around recently. Edit: I would like to retract my statement, after the December 3 Mavs Grizzlies game, smart played 25 minutes and went 0-7.
spurs are misusing wemby as a result of their lack of any spacing whatsoever. Wemby sees 2 or 3 bodies anytime he goes inside to call for a post up, and the shooters keep bricking when he makes the passes
Spurs are tanking w/o showing they are tanking. Like the PG experiment with Sochan last year, VW has been told this year to jack 'em up from 3. And you saw he has three straight games of at least 6 three pointers and 50% from downtown.
As a thumder fan i think caruso has been amazing the offence isnt there yes but watching the games he passes the eye test 100% hes making a noticable diffrence om defence and i thimk chets jump is more than making up for his poor start on that end i understand you had to pick someone and i agree out of everyone its probably him but disapointing i would say is a streatch Much love though loved the video!
For Raptors I have to say Davion Mithcell has been brutal. He has terrible deciscion making and shooting. Rookie PG Jamal Shead is a much better guard for Raps imo. Gr8 video 🥸👍
Hes finally picking it up, but he still shows that he can't consistently create a shot and he's inconsistent with his aggressiveness, he turns the ball over a lot too for a guy who isn't a PG
I know it is only 10 or so games so far but if this stretch is any indicator of what's to come, then the Warriors have have dodged a bullet with Lauri. Obviously we have to wait and see. Hopefully l, he will get them number back up
Shooting under 45 percent as a center is atrocious and half his shots are from behind the line he needs to sort out his offense and become more consistent the spurs go as far as HE goes
@@olaminabryan8026the thing is he’s only 20 and people are wanting him to develop his offense overnight like it’s a quick switch, it’s something that’s going to take time & Spurs are fine with that because they know he’s the future of the franchise
@Limbo85Inside Yes your right but what's concerning isn't that he hasn't gotten better or stayed the same to last year but he's visibly regressed. And badly too. He hasn't added any post moves his already iffy shot is looking worse and instead of using his massive 7 foot frame to go into the paint he insists on shooting 7 threes a game. That's concerning. He's shooting more and making less on what was already questionable efficiency which is now worse. He just had a game where he took 15 shots. 9 of those were threes. He's too tall too big to be only taking threes its never gonna work
@@olaminabryan8026 if you looked more into it, he's purposely shooting 7 threes a game because the coaches want to try and develop that part of his game while he's still young and they're still bad, that way he'll be more of a complete player in the future, obviously he'll be worse for now, but for the sake of development, it'll make him a better player in the future, i do agree he could be working on other things, but then again, at his size those other things will come much easier.
@@olaminabryan8026 Okay, but how far were they going THIS YEAR??? So you don't like the way he's being developed? News Flash: This is a three point league now. Might as well change the game to Threeball. So of course they are letting Wemby develop that shot. His defense makes up for any deficiencies you may see in his offense right now while that gets worked out. Also give him a summer where he doesn't have to play on Team France and we're in business with some post moves.
the knicks its gotta be bridges. Brunson taking a paycut and being named team captain does put higher expectations on him but its really unfair. We got spoiled with how good brunson was last year. Hes still figuring things out but hes had some good games. Hes connected with Kat especially during the pistons game. Bridges has been more disappointing imo. We gave up mad picks for whats supposed to be an elite 3 n D guy. Well the defense has been subpar and even tho he fixed his shot, hes not as big a threat as he should be. His post middy is nice but how valuable is that to the team really? Especially with donte gone we need a VOLUME catch n shoot guy that fires without hesitation. Right now our best volume shooter is Kat, and while thats great we a have a center that can do that, that really should be bridges's role.
As a rockets Fan I kinda disagree with the Cam Pick, yes the efficiency and tunnel vision are still terrible but we all kinda Knew Cam was gonna receive the fewest minutes out of the core 7 so there wasnt that high of an expectation on him to begin with, specially with reed coming in who offered more skill wise compared to cam who was just a spark plug off the bench last year, i feel like Jabari has been the most Disappointing one so far, His 3 ball isnt falling hasnt been that good on defense and rebounding the ball, the year 3 leap hasnt really been there so far, i'm hoping he can turn it around just like jalen last year because there needs to be a serious discussion if jabari should be benched in favor of Tari Eason who's been out playing him thus far
I’m glad you didn’t say Donte for the wolves cause that would have been a foolish pick. He has been amazing for the wolves this year and needs to start over conley
For me as a Nets fan the most disappointing player is Claxton atm. I know he was injured, but you pay this guy 100million dollars and he cant even make a dam freethrow. Its a huge problem and other teams are exposing him big time. Just sending him to the line. And he has been developing this for several seasons and it seems to get even worse.
Not even top 5. 4 rings in 21 years, had to join another top 3 player in the leagues team to sniff a ring, lost 2 finals on that team getting outplayed by Jason terry in one of them and getting swept in the other. Mj won 6 rings in 13 seasons, had better stats than lebron in nearly all of them, was by far the better defensive player, by what metric is lebron the goat, tell me.
I wish the Dubs gave Podz as much leeway as Wemby gets, but the Dubs are contenders again. Kuminga struggles when starting with Curry, but since he moved to the bench his production has increased as well as his efficiency, though he does still seem lost on defense sometimes.
Kuminga off the bench has been pretty nice. He has been getting us some clutch points when we need to get something, like when we have a slow start or that rockets overtime
Brunson is not the issue, OG needs to step up his offense for the amount of money he makes. I wanna see him averaging 20pts/game and earn that 5yr/210M contract.
I am from Atlanta, whenever I think about Trae Young…I remember how we could have been blessed with Luka instead😢Trae will always be my most disappointing player for the Hawks
As a rockets fan I get you’re looking at numbers but we simply don’t have the minutes for cam to get comfortable since we have so many other young guys we gotta play- Fred has been the most disappointing by far
As a Dallas fan, it's 100% Luka. Just about everybody has been expecting this to be the season where he finally get's an mvp, instead he's had some of the worst strech of games in his career. Making a ton of bad decisions and chucking stupid shots. Grimes is a new player so it makes sense he's still trying to find his rythm, not to mention Kidd really isn't giving him that many minutes at all.
Bro without Luka you are a play-in team at best. As much as I like Luka I still feel bad he ended up on a poverty franchise like the Mavericks that has some of worst fans in professional sports…
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay I know that with out Luka we are barely a play in team. Which is why the fact that he has, to his standards, played badly so far, is dissapointing. Because, guess what, standing wise, we are a play in team rn. Me saying that Luka has been playing badly is not hating on him, it's valid critisicm
As a Timberwolves fan, I’d say Mike Conley is worse than Jaden. Jaden is fine, but Conley looks worse shotting 30 and 30 from the field and 3pt line. If Mike’s offense is bad he just doesn’t do enough unlike Jaden who’s an elite perimeter defender and good off-ball. He just had another bad game vs the Heat scoring just 2 points
I don’t think people realize Jamal Murray had a injury during that Minnesota series which affected his play the rest of the series and he chose not to sit for the olympics so there’s a possibility he could’ve been playing with this injury this whole time
My theory: the Wembanyama thing is intentional. They’re forcing him to play to his weaknesses and shoot volume 3s and contested 3s. It’s about development and it’s about tanking. It forces Wemby to develop the KD shooting and face up skills.

I think it’s cause he was shooting more in the olympics. I think the heat are just cooked.
@GordonDRamsay but the olympics follows fiba rules which has a shorter 3pt line so its like a long midrange in the nba
@@gregloenz mnnnn, makes sense. So hes a long 2 merchant
The reason is that he can’t shoot 😂 not being able to shoot is generally considered a weakness in basketball
@@rorank the plan was to pair him next to Kel’el Ware. They want Bam to shoot so he can be moved to the 4.
I'm convinced Wemby is allowed to shoot this much threes to improve in that department at a time where SA is not expected to challenge for the championship. I'm really not concerned with his 'disappointing' offensive performances (still 18 pts a night) when he's 20 years old and defending the way he is with 4 (!!) blocks a game

I just watched Celtics vs Bucks. I’m happy my boys won but Sam just couldn’t hit a damn shot. When I saw this video, I figured out of everyone, Sam would make the most sense because Jaylen’s been injured and everyone else is playing up or better than expectations.
Thought id never hear the day colin sexton is deemed a vet
Glad you didn’t pick Donte, because if his shot was falling he would be fine. Jaden is def the choice.
I’m hoping Randle can help McDaniels open up his offensive game, they are similar body types/size
Hey SROS, I just went to a Pacers game last night and Haliburton went off!
Watching this back to back with threecones most impressive players so far is hilarious because there is is several players that are on both lists
scottie had 3 games n was coming off an injury = Most Disappointing Player. The disrespect is honestly crazy, u made this video and edited n didnt stop to think once lmaooo.
so By ur logic Currys first 3 games = warriors Most Disappointing Player. Im only using ur logic and do u see how stupid that sounds.
Who is then
Yeah ngl Scottie being here is so ludicrous
And he’s still averaging 19 on Danm near 50% from the field how is that disappointing
Disappointing doesn't mean bad, this is for players who aren't meeting expectations
The last couple of games is evidence enough that San Antonio letting Wemby develop his outside shot during the rebuilding phase is best for both him and the team in the long run.
If he can capably space the floor, it'll give him more space to develop his skills down low. Besides it's not like he doesn't score inside and from midrange at all. He exhibited a ton of really sophisticated inside scoring moves just recently against the Kings for example.
Why grind him down physically by having him fruitlessly battle much stronger bigs in the low-block all night? He doesn't have the body mass of an orthodox big - and likely never will - so expecting him to play like one would only serve to cap his massive offensive potential.
Even on the defensive end you rarely see him operating in the low post. He often straddles the elbow and the perimeter, collapsing on the paint when opponents drive then using his length to recover to the perimeter on kickouts.
Becoming a reliable 3PT shooter - which his excellent mechanics and 90+ FT% suggest is absolutely possible - combined with his playmaking and best-in-the-league defensive prowess is what will truly elevate Wembanyama to the MVP-calibre player draft scouts knew he could be from 16-years-old.
nurkic is shooting 34 percent from 3 on 3 attempts a game. thats not great but good enough for a center to space the floor.
Jalen johnson was hard to watch for the first of the games we played so far, but trae is also i feel is not hunting his shot enough. Ik thats crazy to say but if u watch hawks game, u might see what im seeing. He also needs to take more midrange shots. Though to be fair to trae, he always struggles a bit at the beginning of the season
Yea find it hard to pick someone on the roster who’s super disappointing at the moment. Okongwu, Roddy, and Trae are in the running for that title though
He needs to get back in 2022 form he was automatic from mid range that year
It’s been exceedingly obvious that most of these guys aren’t working out in the off-season. A ton of players look rusty and like they haven’t shot a ball in a few months.
And if they just got paid, it’s even worse.
Kuminga is great off the bench and has been in most closing lineups. But you can only do so much if your minutes are capped at 30
2:27 lol. Joker showing off his boat ;)
The Olympics trend might be real, I think Vasa Micic is the epitome of that😅
For the Raps, overall I don't think the team has been disappointing as they're performing as expected. If I had to pick player, maybe Quickley, Bruce Brown, or Olynyk only cause they haven't been able to get on/stay on the floor. I'll go with Bruce just cause he hasn't been able to play to build up his trade value.
For the Knicks it’s the guy we spent 5 first round picks for who isn’t defending at the level we needed and who’s offense ain’t worth 5 picks
Tbf as a Nets fan I think we’ve overachieving and been playing a lot better than expected, beat the bucks and had close games with narrow losses to the Nuggets, Celtics and Cavs, 3 of the best teams in the league. I didn’t expect us to be 4-6 at this point
I mean we have Cam Johnson and Dennis Schroeder. Dennis is a veteran player and Cam is averaging 20+ a game
I’m glad the Marcus Smart take has aged barely, he’s really turning things around recently.
Edit: I would like to retract my statement, after the December 3 Mavs Grizzlies game, smart played 25 minutes and went 0-7.
LOL
I'm just glad the jazz finally get rid of the highlighter unis and are going back to the purple next year
Love the video! Where do you get your stats?
Tyrese Halliburton let Knick fans know
Scottie's 19p 8reb 6a isnt disappointing, he has been struggling with his shots but the last preseason game he scored 5 3s... it's just streaks
Scottie is amazing but has to improve his threes I can agree with that Matt
Wemby just had 50
spurs are misusing wemby as a result of their lack of any spacing whatsoever. Wemby sees 2 or 3 bodies anytime he goes inside to call for a post up, and the shooters keep bricking when he makes the passes
As a nets fan I would go with Nic Claxton, I understand he got hurt but even before that he was pretty dissapointing on both sides of the ball
Spurs are tanking w/o showing they are tanking. Like the PG experiment with Sochan last year, VW has been told this year to jack 'em up from 3. And you saw he has three straight games of at least 6 three pointers and 50% from downtown.
Kobe most skilled, Shaq most dominant, Hakeem best defender,Steph greatest shooter, Jordan 🐐, Lebron greatest 88 year
old.
Wilt most skilled, Wilt most dominant, Wilt best defender, Larry Bird greatest shooter, Bill Russell 🐐, LeBron = LeFlop
This aged poorly lol
As a thumder fan i think caruso has been amazing the offence isnt there yes but watching the games he passes the eye test 100% hes making a noticable diffrence om defence and i thimk chets jump is more than making up for his poor start on that end i understand you had to pick someone and i agree out of everyone its probably him but disapointing i would say is a streatch
Much love though loved the video!
The timing of this video when Hali just destroyed the Knicks😭
LOL this didn't age well. Haliburton went off last night.
As a Hawks fan, Onyeka has been most disappointing imo
For Raptors I have to say Davion Mithcell has been brutal. He has terrible deciscion making and shooting. Rookie PG Jamal Shead is a much better guard for Raps imo. Gr8 video 🥸👍
Am I the only one who expected more from Jalen Johnson
Hes finally picking it up, but he still shows that he can't consistently create a shot and he's inconsistent with his aggressiveness, he turns the ball over a lot too for a guy who isn't a PG
bro really made sure we wouldn't get to see a single bucket in this video
has to be jabari on the rockets vs whitmore. the draft pick used mirrors the expectation
I know it is only 10 or so games so far but if this stretch is any indicator of what's to come, then the Warriors have have dodged a bullet with Lauri. Obviously we have to wait and see. Hopefully l, he will get them number back up
Great Content You Earned My Respect and Sub.
the jazz lost when they changed their amazing color scheme to black and yellow
Even thought he hasn't played for the Cavs in decades, I'll go with Danny Ferry. Traded Ron Harper for him.
When the 20 yr old Wemby isn’t a completely finished product 🤯
Shooting under 45 percent as a center is atrocious and half his shots are from behind the line he needs to sort out his offense and become more consistent the spurs go as far as HE goes
@@olaminabryan8026the thing is he’s only 20 and people are wanting him to develop his offense overnight like it’s a quick switch, it’s something that’s going to take time & Spurs are fine with that because they know he’s the future of the franchise
@Limbo85Inside Yes your right but what's concerning isn't that he hasn't gotten better or stayed the same to last year but he's visibly regressed. And badly too. He hasn't added any post moves his already iffy shot is looking worse and instead of using his massive 7 foot frame to go into the paint he insists on shooting 7 threes a game. That's concerning. He's shooting more and making less on what was already questionable efficiency which is now worse. He just had a game where he took 15 shots. 9 of those were threes. He's too tall too big to be only taking threes its never gonna work
@@olaminabryan8026 if you looked more into it, he's purposely shooting 7 threes a game because the coaches want to try and develop that part of his game while he's still young and they're still bad, that way he'll be more of a complete player in the future, obviously he'll be worse for now, but for the sake of development, it'll make him a better player in the future, i do agree he could be working on other things, but then again, at his size those other things will come much easier.
@@olaminabryan8026 Okay, but how far were they going THIS YEAR???
So you don't like the way he's being developed? News Flash: This is a three point league now. Might as well change the game to Threeball. So of course they are letting Wemby develop that shot.
His defense makes up for any deficiencies you may see in his offense right now while that gets worked out. Also give him a summer where he doesn't have to play on Team France and we're in business with some post moves.
where did you get that nba clock? it’s fire
As a Kings fan, Monk has NOT been disappointing at all. It HAS to be Trey Lyles. Usually a solid bench player and has been AWFUL this year
the knicks its gotta be bridges. Brunson taking a paycut and being named team captain does put higher expectations on him but its really unfair. We got spoiled with how good brunson was last year. Hes still figuring things out but hes had some good games. Hes connected with Kat especially during the pistons game. Bridges has been more disappointing imo. We gave up mad picks for whats supposed to be an elite 3 n D guy. Well the defense has been subpar and even tho he fixed his shot, hes not as big a threat as he should be. His post middy is nice but how valuable is that to the team really? Especially with donte gone we need a VOLUME catch n shoot guy that fires without hesitation. Right now our best volume shooter is Kat, and while thats great we a have a center that can do that, that really should be bridges's role.
As a rockets Fan I kinda disagree with the Cam Pick, yes the efficiency and tunnel vision are still terrible but we all kinda Knew Cam was gonna receive the fewest minutes out of the core 7 so there wasnt that high of an expectation on him to begin with, specially with reed coming in who offered more skill wise compared to cam who was just a spark plug off the bench last year, i feel like Jabari has been the most Disappointing one so far, His 3 ball isnt falling hasnt been that good on defense and rebounding the ball, the year 3 leap hasnt really been there so far, i'm hoping he can turn it around just like jalen last year because there needs to be a serious discussion if jabari should be benched in favor of Tari Eason who's been out playing him thus far
24:16 no way you said that 😂. What about D Mitch???
I’m glad you didn’t say Donte for the wolves cause that would have been a foolish pick. He has been amazing for the wolves this year and needs to start over conley
Cabs looking like the clear favorite to come out the east honestly
how do you get that nba little clock thing on the background whats that called?
Leagues need to look into New Orleans because the Pelicans and Saints are known for bad training facilities and health trainers
Adding a star can throw off a good role player's rhythm. Malik Monk will adjust for the Kings.
Spot on for the raptors! I approve your take lol
For me as a Nets fan the most disappointing player is Claxton atm. I know he was injured, but you pay this guy 100million dollars and he cant even make a dam freethrow. Its a huge problem and other teams are exposing him big time. Just sending him to the line. And he has been developing this for several seasons and it seems to get even worse.
lebon is goat
Not even top 5. 4 rings in 21 years, had to join another top 3 player in the leagues team to sniff a ring, lost 2 finals on that team getting outplayed by Jason terry in one of them and getting swept in the other. Mj won 6 rings in 13 seasons, had better stats than lebron in nearly all of them, was by far the better defensive player, by what metric is lebron the goat, tell me.
My 4 year old:
MJ>>>
@@Brickwilliams whos better than him except mj according to you
@ kobe, Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Hakeem, Bird, Duncan, I could keep going
Jamal Murray had a calf injury in the playoffs last year, and he's always taken a while to get into the rhythm of things, he'll be fine.
I wish the Dubs gave Podz as much leeway as Wemby gets, but the Dubs are contenders again. Kuminga struggles when starting with Curry, but since he moved to the bench his production has increased as well as his efficiency, though he does still seem lost on defense sometimes.
Kuminga off the bench has been pretty nice. He has been getting us some clutch points when we need to get something, like when we have a slow start or that rockets overtime
update: tyrese just went off
Against a KAT anchored defense lol
where did u get the light in the background with the records
Brunson is not the issue, OG needs to step up his offense for the amount of money he makes. I wanna see him averaging 20pts/game and earn that 5yr/210M contract.
Mark Williams like damn we need a big
Feels like Marcus smart isn’t motivated anymore
I am from Atlanta, whenever I think about Trae Young…I remember how we could have been blessed with Luka instead😢Trae will always be my most disappointing player for the Hawks
Might have to change up spurs Wemby is ballin right now
Hali just dominated your favorite team
As a rockets fan I get you’re looking at numbers but we simply don’t have the minutes for cam to get comfortable since we have so many other young guys we gotta play- Fred has been the most disappointing by far
As a Dallas fan, it's 100% Luka. Just about everybody has been expecting this to be the season where he finally get's an mvp, instead he's had some of the worst strech of games in his career. Making a ton of bad decisions and chucking stupid shots. Grimes is a new player so it makes sense he's still trying to find his rythm, not to mention Kidd really isn't giving him that many minutes at all.
It seems as though Dallas is building a team that happens to use Luka as a piece of the team and not building the team around him
Bro without Luka you are a play-in team at best. As much as I like Luka I still feel bad he ended up on a poverty franchise like the Mavericks that has some of worst fans in professional sports…
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay I know that with out Luka we are barely a play in team. Which is why the fact that he has, to his standards, played badly so far, is dissapointing. Because, guess what, standing wise, we are a play in team rn. Me saying that Luka has been playing badly is not hating on him, it's valid critisicm
Can you do every-teams most surprising player this year?
wemby is easily moved off the block and in crunch time that is crucial
As a Timberwolves fan, I’d say Mike Conley is worse than Jaden. Jaden is fine, but Conley looks worse shotting 30 and 30 from the field and 3pt line. If Mike’s offense is bad he just doesn’t do enough unlike Jaden who’s an elite perimeter defender and good off-ball. He just had another bad game vs the Heat scoring just 2 points
I don’t think people realize Jamal Murray had a injury during that Minnesota series which affected his play the rest of the series and he chose not to sit for the olympics so there’s a possibility he could’ve been playing with this injury this whole time
2 of my favorite players (wemby and haliburton) being on the thumbnail is so painful
