Wiggins should be on this list instead of Klay. Wiggins should’ve been leading the young players and making the older guys job easier.

Dame doesn't even get killed on defense, nobody actually watches the games. He has a defended fg% of 45%. Low is so contradictory lmao, literally in his last video about wemby he said, "Wemby having 46% defended fg% is 'VERY VERY impressive' then he goes on to say that “the other defensive stats like D-win/shares and D-rating are more so about team defense then your own.” But sure for dame tho its horrible, but to make the case for wemby being dpoy it's "VERY VERY impressive". Dame is also 3rd in the NBA in clutch scoring and has some of the most efficient clutch time pts in the NBA which is exactly what they need him for.

Defensive FG% is not a good stat to compare how good two players are defensively (I’d argue it’s not a good stat at all honestly). It counts who is the closest defender on a shot, not who’s actively or supposed to be guarding the shot. Especially for a player guarding a lot of pick n rolls and other perimeter plays where there’s a lot of switch action, the number you get out of that for a player like Dame is just not going to be useful. Maybe if it was the 80s or 90s when you’re supposed to defend your man and only your man but nowadays throw that stat out. Defense is just way too team oriented for it to matter
Why is everyone disrespecting Dame? Idk why people still expected him put up the same numbers he used to Portland when his role is slightly different this year.

@@bryanfoster326 honestly I wasn't being hard on either. I think neither wants to step on each other's toes. But its obvious how much better the team in general look when their are shooters on the court. It flows fast and they move the ball. If I was being harsh. It's just because all I'm hearing is this was the worst trade ever how they want Holliday back. As if they aren't all playing fundamentally bad defense. I just don't see or get its all dames fault especially when they win and play better without Giannis of course they need him moving forward. I dont know to me that says more about Giannis then dame and I like Giannis.
I honestly think people need to revise their viewpoint on PGs who are fringe players like Jordan Poole. I honestly do not understand who thought he’d be a star point guard. At the very least, to win a championship, you need to play some sort of defence as the best player. If your best player is not a net-positive or average defender than you cannot win a championship. That goes and trickles down to players as well. If your player can only score and not play make/defend… TRADE THEM cause you will never win with them. This goes with players like Julias Randle as well
By that standard Trae Young isn’t a star. Lillard isn’t a star. Luka isn’t a star. There’s tons of one way players that are stars who don’t play defense. The league isn’t the same as 5 years ago. Hell, there’s entire starting lineups who don’t play defense and still make the playoffs like the Kings
@@Romanus- You misunderstood my point. I did not mean to say Trae Young isn’t a star but I will guarantee you by saying he’s never going to be your best player on a championship winning team. And honestly, if your GM can identify that your best player as he is cannot lead you to a championship, you either need to trade or sign a player better than him so he then becomes the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team or trade him. Tough life but that’s how I see it
@@andrewbradley3305 Ya he always was bad at turnovers. You're right about the stats but off of Golden State he looks so much worse. That's why they say Stats don't tell it all. Ya he may have just fell of a one story building but it looks like he fell off a 20 story building. Just looks so damn bad. sheesh
Averaging 24pts 7ast & 4reb on league avg. shooting splits for his position all while dealing with a new system two new coaches and not to mention personal issues off the court but all that being labeled as “Bad Stats” just doesn’t make any fucking sense at all to me like AT ALL lmfao smh it’s one thing to say he regressed and statistically that’s true but to call it “Bad stats or Bad basketball” just doesn’t make any sense fr regardless of expectations
he was expected to come in and be the offensive man for the bucks and he’s been inefficient for his standards and very inconsistent. it’s disappointing for dame standards
Plus he is getting paid the same if not more than Giannis while being one of the worst defenders in the league, so yea, stats might not be trash, but in context, they are very underwhelming
It just shows you haven’t watch the bucks at all, generally he plays pretty bad but he’s stats look good because how much he shoots and gets to the line. When you shoot around 20 times a game and make 8 shots thats pretty awful for the expectations. Also he’s been playing better lately if you go pre all star game it’s even worse he has just made the bucks a worse team with a higher ceiling. The nights he shoots 35% from the field while getting killed on defense doesn’t help the bucks and it’s happen so often he is killing them a lot of nights. Still he’s been doing pretty good this month and if he keeps playing like this with khris coming back they honestly have a good chance at winning it all assuming khris comes back avg 15 with good defense and dame starting to heat up it’s gonna be hard to beat
Poole’s drop was predictable if you watched a lot of GSW’s games last season. His tendency to take low% shots and had less coverage as the team still had Steph and Klay. Even then, his playmaking and defence were still below par severely limiting his game. I understand why then went with trying to build around an upcoming star but he seems to had already hit his peak. The only way I see him improving is if he fixes his shot IQ and develops some sort of playmaking ability in using PnR’s and play calling to get his team involved as the primary ball handler on either the 1st and 2nd unit.
I'm one of the few who predicted Poole would not improve this season, but I expected him to somewhat match his production on lower efficiency. I didn't expect the pressure to eat him up like it has. I didn't expect growth because I couldn't imagine him getting better scoring opportunities than the 1v1 matchups with the "other" perimeter defenders he was getting in Golden State. Hopefully, this offseason they can sign an aged former all-star who can help him learn to deal with the pressure.
I don't know if I would put Wiggins in this with his rumoured family stuff and Klay playing in his mid 30s with two serious injuries is kind of a miracle. Nice thing about Josh Giddy is you don't have to feel bad about him being surprisingly bad once the Thunder actually care about winning.
no one ever thinks about the psychological effects of moving from a beautiful sunny place like california (and having the financial freedom to avoid its negatives) to a cold windy place like british columbia with nothing to do surrounded by politicians and boring people
Be awesome if you did a video on the Knicks. Went from worst team in the league, to fringe contender in 4 yrs, and they still have a bunch of picks to get better. Leon is the GOAT
I’m really the only person who didn’t expect anything from Poole huh? Lol my boy use to hype him up the year they won that chip and I noticed how he was starting to go down in the playoffs and even how he played last year just wasn’t anything special to me, for me to be like “yea , he’ll be a star somewhere else”
I don't know if I can put Ayton as a disapointment this season. I get he can do better but can we say he's a terrible screener when he's 13th in Screen Assists Per Game in the NBA while having the worst shooting NBA team and the worst finishing NBA team ? No. Does he "only" score" 15,8 PPG ? Yes but he does that in a team that gives him only 12,6 FGA Per Game. I mean Portland doesn't know where they are in terms of project, they don't even know who to play through at this point and Ayton is mostly treated as a 4th or 5th option offensively. Does he takes most of his shots outside the restricted area ? Yes. It's because his teammates strengths are mostly finishing at the rim so the team needs him to space the floor and that means getting out of the paint and taking mid-range shots, a type of shot where he has shown improvement this season. Portland may be the worst team in the NBA this season (at least one of the 3 worst team), they don't play basketball as a team, they all play basketball, Ayton included, to show they belong in the NBA, they have no hierarchy and they don't where they going yet. And he's been injured. I get that Ayton can do better and probably should do better but it's not like he went from 4th option to 1st option on the team, he's still treated the same when he's clearly at least their 2nd or 3rd best player right now. And at some point we also have to realize Ayton might never be more than a 2nd or even a very good 3rd option on a contending team at best I would gladly say he's a disapointment next season but right now I can't when he's mostly done the best he can in a situation where everything seems to be working against him..
I’d lean Klay. Say what you will about Wiggs numbers and performance, but if it’s some behavioral health stuff he’s battling, especially if it’s new, that can cause an impact for anyone especially once you factor in medications do different things to different people & sometimes those steps in progress can be backslides. Klay on the other hand, should have never been starting and Podz taking his job was more on Podz being a good player to grow, as opposed to a past his peak but acting like he’s still elite Klay.
I think Klay should be on the list with Lonzo he’s coming off his first major injury after being that guy his confidence is shot and I think it’s a little unfair to call him a disappointment or at least be on this list with these other guys
Low tripping for Kael and Dame, Mikael was not supposed to be Kevin Durant or they wouldn’t have traded for him, he gives his all when he plays calling him a disappointment is nuts and Dame isn’t the disappointment it’s the Bucks altogether lol
Wiggins more impactfully ass than klay, A Dub got that one poster in the play off run that was last we seen of him, klay lost his touch but at least his form pretty…
Have you seen DeAndre Ayton's number the last few games? Coach Billups wants his guards to dominate the ball; however, the Blazers play better through Ayton.
The reporter asked ayton what was the change when he started playing better. Ayton said it’s because he was sleeping on an air mattress. Soon as he said that, I realised exactly what his problem is. Him getting snowed in, him whining like a lil baby in phoenix. He’s entitled. He’s only gonna have a good game when he’s pampered and catered to. I understand a good night sleep probably would be beneficial to your game, but for that to be a legitimate excuse that he had ready upon asking is absurd. Portland might have been on Houston level if they had a 20-10 ayton.
We're not supposed to eb on houstons level, we're supposed to be in a rebuild. Ayton has had a stretch of very solid, borderline allstar type games since the break. Then he has to sit for a few games at a time. I dont believe thats his choice. Last night we started an all rookie line up, only the second time thats happened in 50 years. We're still a tanking team, and we will be that next year too. Any "problem" in DAs game isnt coming from him (in portland anyway). Our coaching staff sucks and our front office and owner suck. They lied to and failed one of the best players in the league for 3 years in a row, they chased him out of town, and now they're going to do the same thing to Scoot, Ant and Sharpe.
@@rck1322 are you crazy? Scoot, anfaree, Sharron sharpe, jerami grant and DA with brogdon and rob Williams off the bench isn’t meant to contend? Obviously injuries and stuff will change that but there’s no way u can say Portland couldn’t have competed this year. As for DA, I dunno if your a fan account but if that’s your opinion on DA then I dunno if u been watching him. In the kindest way possible, he’s a baby. Pampered and entitled. Not saying it like his talent isn’t there because it is. Facts are facts. In a league where big men stand out, I honestly believe he can potentially be the 3rd best center in the league. When he applies himself he’s unstoppable. Portland could’ve been a play in contender if he gave a solid 20-10
@dontworry7979 Trading Dame wasn't supposed to result in being a contending team this year. Scoots not there, Sharpes not there, the 3 guard line up for the past 5 years has proven to fail. We need an actual small forward. This team is good, and it can improve. But you can't trade a top 75 player in league history to remain a play-in caliber team. We need to get Scoot toumani murray and Jabari all more time to develop, before expecting them to make a playoff run. And this front office refuses to address weak points in the team and won't go into the luxury tax. The team is good if all healthy but not a championship team, even in 2 or 3 years. We still don't have the right pieces and trading dame shouldn't result in being a mediocre team for the next 5-10 years.
@@rck1322 I hear u but my point wasn’t that they’re a championship team. They obviously ain’t. But if u look at the team and what they have, you wouldn’t anticipate them being as bad as they are. They actually have pieces, very good pieces, regardless of if they’re fully developed. When they are fully developed it becomes more of an expectation than a belief but there lineup isn’t as bad as people try to make out. For example Look at there team in comparison to Utah. Utah is considered way better than them but what does Utah have that Portland doesn’t? Lauri is good but would u put him over DA?
Well, disappointment is relative to expectation. He’s not playing bad, but I remember how people were talking about Dame and Giannis before the year started. Compared to the expectations, he’s been a little disappointing, but that’s mainly because a lot of these expectations were wildly unfair
No excuse ur job is ur job there is people that get paid 10 a hour 12 hours a day and having worse problems and still do what they have to do U telling me a man that is getting millions cant perform good cause of that Gtfoh mane
I think a lot of personal life stuff is bothering dame, he’s completely alone in Milwaukie, taking a back seat for the first time in his career, I think it’ll come when it needs to
Anyone that thought Jordan Poole was going to be a good starter needs to stop listening to Gilbert Arenas. The last year in GS the man shoot 43 FG% and 33 3PT% and was playing 2/3 of the time against the other teams bench players. He is a low IQ, carry the ball every possession, jack a lot of stupid shoots hoping it will go in type of player.
I’m a hometown bullets/wizards fan since the 90s and I have wizards gear from 2021 that I’m embarrassed to wear. This is just the same s**t as always. Jordan Poole coming to the wizards and being one of the worst players in the league. That’s just how we roll. I will say I’d rather them tank and stink then be middle of the pack with Bradley Beal. Let’s rebuild, but wow Jordan Poole is already one of the worst contracts in the NBA. Par for the course
Yeah had to leave this video as soon as he put dame up there bruh if you watch bucks games yk post all star break he’s finding his stride his been going mental , problem with yall folks yall be so thirsty wen something doesn’t mesh right a way, do you not see how much the bucks have went thru this year and they still the 2 seed lol
Wiggins has been way more disappointing than Klay. Klay has been coming back from 2 straight horrible injuries which naturally have reduced players ability afterward and he’s at an age of decline. Wiggins is supposed to be in his prime and is having by far the worst season of his career. When the warriors won the chip, he was arguably their 2nd best player…this year he's been like 6-8th best. Klay is still no doubt a top 3-4 player on the Warriors despite his age and injuries
Klay is still shooting 3s on above league average % but man gotta choose his shots…he is 4th on 3pts made ans just 9 threes away from 2nd position..but his FG% is horrible and his shot selection is even worse
Jalen Green is the best young player in this league hands down. He's proven it in the last ten games. Your list is ridiculous so I'm not surprised you brought up Jalen but his recent play should shut you up.
i actually feel bad for Poole, bro got punched in the face and everyone defended Dray when he was clearly wrong and he is always just the butt of all the jokes. i also dont think he is carefree, i think he is just desperate for something to go his way.

@@bryanfoster326 honestly I wasn't being hard on either. I think neither wants to step on each other's toes. But its obvious how much better the team in general look when their are shooters on the court. It flows fast and they move the ball. If I was being harsh. It's just because all I'm hearing is this was the worst trade ever how they want Holliday back. As if they aren't all playing fundamentally bad defense. I just don't see or get its all dames fault especially when they win and play better without Giannis of course they need him moving forward. I dont know to me that says more about Giannis then dame and I like Giannis.
I honestly think people need to revise their viewpoint on PGs who are fringe players like Jordan Poole. I honestly do not understand who thought he’d be a star point guard. At the very least, to win a championship, you need to play some sort of defence as the best player. If your best player is not a net-positive or average defender than you cannot win a championship. That goes and trickles down to players as well. If your player can only score and not play make/defend… TRADE THEM cause you will never win with them. This goes with players like Julias Randle as well
By that standard Trae Young isn’t a star. Lillard isn’t a star. Luka isn’t a star. There’s tons of one way players that are stars who don’t play defense. The league isn’t the same as 5 years ago. Hell, there’s entire starting lineups who don’t play defense and still make the playoffs like the Kings
@@Romanus- You misunderstood my point. I did not mean to say Trae Young isn’t a star but I will guarantee you by saying he’s never going to be your best player on a championship winning team. And honestly, if your GM can identify that your best player as he is cannot lead you to a championship, you either need to trade or sign a player better than him so he then becomes the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team or trade him. Tough life but that’s how I see it
Dame is barely hving a subpar year …. I personally wouldn’t put him up here but 🤷🏾♂️
Dame has a good track record / history I think he has reached a point where he is to be judged in the playoffs like Lebron not the regular season
I kinda agree
WHAT
DAME IS NOT ON AND WILL NEVER BE ON A LIST WITH THESE BUUMPS, HELL NAAHH
Draymond Green punched the talent clear out of Jordan Poole's ass. That was a hell of a punch.
Jordan Poole is shooting 1% less on FG, 3pt, and FT this season from his career. With the same amount of assists and turnovers
@@andrewbradley3305 Ya he always was bad at turnovers. You're right about the stats but off of Golden State he looks so much worse. That's why they say Stats don't tell it all. Ya he may have just fell of a one story building but it looks like he fell off a 20 story building. Just looks so damn bad. sheesh
Averaging 24pts 7ast & 4reb on league avg. shooting splits for his position all while dealing with a new system two new coaches and not to mention personal issues off the court but all that being labeled as “Bad Stats” just doesn’t make any fucking sense at all to me like AT ALL lmfao smh it’s one thing to say he regressed and statistically that’s true but to call it “Bad stats or Bad basketball” just doesn’t make any sense fr regardless of expectations
he was expected to come in and be the offensive man for the bucks and he’s been inefficient for his standards and very inconsistent. it’s disappointing for dame standards
He’s trash stop it
Plus he is getting paid the same if not more than Giannis while being one of the worst defenders in the league, so yea, stats might not be trash, but in context, they are very underwhelming
garbage ass defender
It just shows you haven’t watch the bucks at all, generally he plays pretty bad but he’s stats look good because how much he shoots and gets to the line. When you shoot around 20 times a game and make 8 shots thats pretty awful for the expectations. Also he’s been playing better lately if you go pre all star game it’s even worse he has just made the bucks a worse team with a higher ceiling. The nights he shoots 35% from the field while getting killed on defense doesn’t help the bucks and it’s happen so often he is killing them a lot of nights. Still he’s been doing pretty good this month and if he keeps playing like this with khris coming back they honestly have a good chance at winning it all assuming khris comes back avg 15 with good defense and dame starting to heat up it’s gonna be hard to beat
Its insane to have Mikal on here. Look at him and Jaylen Browns numbers and come back to me, and im not even a nets fan.
You wild for adding dame in here
Dame is ass this year
@@MonkeyTing_he’s basically averaging his career averages. He just always been overrated
@@andrewbradley3305his efficiency fell off compared to last year
@@MonkeyTing_ you just don’t watch ball you fckn Npc
It’s crazy never thought Zion was that guy but he’s flashed and NO having a good season
Poole’s drop was predictable if you watched a lot of GSW’s games last season. His tendency to take low% shots and had less coverage as the team still had Steph and Klay. Even then, his playmaking and defence were still below par severely limiting his game. I understand why then went with trying to build around an upcoming star but he seems to had already hit his peak. The only way I see him improving is if he fixes his shot IQ and develops some sort of playmaking ability in using PnR’s and play calling to get his team involved as the primary ball handler on either the 1st and 2nd unit.
Built like a gazelle is CRAAAZY😂😂😂 I'm Dying🤣
I'm one of the few who predicted Poole would not improve this season, but I expected him to somewhat match his production on lower efficiency. I didn't expect the pressure to eat him up like it has. I didn't expect growth because I couldn't imagine him getting better scoring opportunities than the 1v1 matchups with the "other" perimeter defenders he was getting in Golden State. Hopefully, this offseason they can sign an aged former all-star who can help him learn to deal with the pressure.
Low need a show connected to the leauge true student that gets to the point 💯💪🏾

I knew ayton wasn't going to work out, especially on a blazers
He's been good recently
Jordan pool gonna be a case study for all the role player who think they can be him
Im glad to see Thanasis avoiding the Allegations 😂
Is it dissapointing if you know he’s trash?
We already knew he sucked tho
I like your content man, keep it up.
Ayton have been on a tear bruh. Even Poole been playing way better
bucks 23-1 when Dame shoots over 50% btw. Been playing much better since the all-star break, like almost every year of his career.
I don't know if I would put Wiggins in this with his rumoured family stuff and Klay playing in his mid 30s with two serious injuries is kind of a miracle.
Nice thing about Josh Giddy is you don't have to feel bad about him being surprisingly bad once the Thunder actually care about winning.
no one ever thinks about the psychological effects of moving from a beautiful sunny place like california (and having the financial freedom to avoid its negatives) to a cold windy place like british columbia with nothing to do surrounded by politicians and boring people

Poole been great post all-star break, he even came back to the starting lineup lol
Great vid Low. If the rumors are true, I feel sorry for Wiggins. Idk if I’d be in my right mind either if I were him
Bridges was looking great because he was the 4th option on other teams.
14:08 Jalen Green fs saw this cuz he been feeling different😭
Still getting the begg ain't never disappointed about that😂
I was expecting Poole to be the best Jordan to ever touch a basketball 😔😔😔
You pop more pills than future
@@Astro-ui4os you’re right, I forgot Jordan Clarkson existed. So I expected Poole to be the second best Jordan to ever touch a basketball

Be awesome if you did a video on the Knicks. Went from worst team in the league, to fringe contender in 4 yrs, and they still have a bunch of picks to get better. Leon is the GOAT
I don’t really see how going from one of the worst to a fringe contender in 4 years is suposoed to be that impressive
Damian too might be dealing with that mental stuff. You know divorces and all that
Yo low, I’m just seeing the thumb nail but you can’t put Deondre ayton in the thumbnail and consider yourself a basketball head😂
Bro he been balling lately too😭😭😭
@@jamescastro2623 exactly 🤣🤣
Deandre Ain't-on was only about that contract. I don't think he really cares about basketball or winning.
Possibly the least amount of passion from any #1 pick to be honest
I’m really the only person who didn’t expect anything from Poole huh? Lol my boy use to hype him up the year they won that chip and I noticed how he was starting to go down in the playoffs and even how he played last year just wasn’t anything special to me, for me to be like “yea , he’ll be a star somewhere else”
Jordan Poole really was Jordan Clarkson all along 🫨
Clarkson way better wtf
@@jeremyfuller7730 you sound to sure about a toss up
@@Tsunami_Hawk You're right. Clarkson was better last year. His aura confused me
I don't know if I can put Ayton as a disapointment this season.
I get he can do better but can we say he's a terrible screener when he's 13th in Screen Assists Per Game in the NBA while having the worst shooting NBA team and the worst finishing NBA team ? No.
Does he "only" score" 15,8 PPG ? Yes but he does that in a team that gives him only 12,6 FGA Per Game. I mean Portland doesn't know where they are in terms of project, they don't even know who to play through at this point and Ayton is mostly treated as a 4th or 5th option offensively.
Does he takes most of his shots outside the restricted area ? Yes. It's because his teammates strengths are mostly finishing at the rim so the team needs him to space the floor and that means getting out of the paint and taking mid-range shots, a type of shot where he has shown improvement this season.
Portland may be the worst team in the NBA this season (at least one of the 3 worst team), they don't play basketball as a team, they all play basketball, Ayton included, to show they belong in the NBA, they have no hierarchy and they don't where they going yet.
And he's been injured.
I get that Ayton can do better and probably should do better but it's not like he went from 4th option to 1st option on the team, he's still treated the same when he's clearly at least their 2nd or 3rd best player right now. And at some point we also have to realize Ayton might never be more than a 2nd or even a very good 3rd option on a contending team at best
I would gladly say he's a disapointment next season but right now I can't when he's mostly done the best he can in a situation where everything seems to be working against him..
1st team all disappointment lmao u wild
Confidence is gone which is key in this game he has the talent to do what he was traded for but he can’t get out his own head
I’d lean Klay. Say what you will about Wiggs numbers and performance, but if it’s some behavioral health stuff he’s battling, especially if it’s new, that can cause an impact for anyone especially once you factor in medications do different things to different people & sometimes those steps in progress can be backslides.
Klay on the other hand, should have never been starting and Podz taking his job was more on Podz being a good player to grow, as opposed to a past his peak but acting like he’s still elite Klay.
No need to fear! Pool boy is here!
I think Klay should be on the list with Lonzo he’s coming off his first major injury after being that guy his confidence is shot and I think it’s a little unfair to call him a disappointment or at least be on this list with these other guys
lamelos health has been the biggest disappointment for me considering he’s a top 10-15 player when healthy
Imagine if the suns drafted Luka instead of ayton
I disagree with this list cause I believe Ben Simmons should definitely be on it
If league average ts% is 58%, a ts% of 52.3% is 9% worse.
58 - 52.3 = 5.7, dude
Addiction & Subtraction must be hard for you.
Low tripping for Kael and Dame, Mikael was not supposed to be Kevin Durant or they wouldn’t have traded for him, he gives his all when he plays calling him a disappointment is nuts and Dame isn’t the disappointment it’s the Bucks altogether lol
To Poole’s credit he has looked a lot better this past month
Tobias Harris and/or Killian Hayes gotta be in here for me.
Wiggins more impactfully ass than klay, A Dub got that one poster in the play off run that was last we seen of him, klay lost his touch but at least his form pretty…
They sold the wizards a Lamborghini with no engine
And the wheels still falling off.
Poole cost me a fantasy championship. I actually picked him up instead of Durant in round 2. I still made it to the finals but lost.
Ben Simmons snubb
Entertainment factored in alone n the fact he’s been healthy Zion can’t be a disappointment,
Most disappointing person to look at someone who looks like they not active talking about active players
Have you seen DeAndre Ayton's number the last few games? Coach Billups wants his guards to dominate the ball; however, the Blazers play better through Ayton.
The reporter asked ayton what was the change when he started playing better. Ayton said it’s because he was sleeping on an air mattress. Soon as he said that, I realised exactly what his problem is. Him getting snowed in, him whining like a lil baby in phoenix. He’s entitled. He’s only gonna have a good game when he’s pampered and catered to. I understand a good night sleep probably would be beneficial to your game, but for that to be a legitimate excuse that he had ready upon asking is absurd. Portland might have been on Houston level if they had a 20-10 ayton.
We're not supposed to eb on houstons level, we're supposed to be in a rebuild. Ayton has had a stretch of very solid, borderline allstar type games since the break. Then he has to sit for a few games at a time. I dont believe thats his choice. Last night we started an all rookie line up, only the second time thats happened in 50 years. We're still a tanking team, and we will be that next year too. Any "problem" in DAs game isnt coming from him (in portland anyway). Our coaching staff sucks and our front office and owner suck. They lied to and failed one of the best players in the league for 3 years in a row, they chased him out of town, and now they're going to do the same thing to Scoot, Ant and Sharpe.
@@rck1322 are you crazy? Scoot, anfaree, Sharron sharpe, jerami grant and DA with brogdon and rob Williams off the bench isn’t meant to contend? Obviously injuries and stuff will change that but there’s no way u can say Portland couldn’t have competed this year. As for DA, I dunno if your a fan account but if that’s your opinion on DA then I dunno if u been watching him. In the kindest way possible, he’s a baby. Pampered and entitled. Not saying it like his talent isn’t there because it is. Facts are facts. In a league where big men stand out, I honestly believe he can potentially be the 3rd best center in the league. When he applies himself he’s unstoppable. Portland could’ve been a play in contender if he gave a solid 20-10
@dontworry7979 Trading Dame wasn't supposed to result in being a contending team this year. Scoots not there, Sharpes not there, the 3 guard line up for the past 5 years has proven to fail. We need an actual small forward. This team is good, and it can improve. But you can't trade a top 75 player in league history to remain a play-in caliber team. We need to get Scoot toumani murray and Jabari all more time to develop, before expecting them to make a playoff run. And this front office refuses to address weak points in the team and won't go into the luxury tax.
The team is good if all healthy but not a championship team, even in 2 or 3 years. We still don't have the right pieces and trading dame shouldn't result in being a mediocre team for the next 5-10 years.
@@rck1322 I hear u but my point wasn’t that they’re a championship team. They obviously ain’t. But if u look at the team and what they have, you wouldn’t anticipate them being as bad as they are. They actually have pieces, very good pieces, regardless of if they’re fully developed. When they are fully developed it becomes more of an expectation than a belief but there lineup isn’t as bad as people try to make out. For example Look at there team in comparison to Utah. Utah is considered way better than them but what does Utah have that Portland doesn’t? Lauri is good but would u put him over DA?
Bruh... i been calling out Dame since before all star break and cats think im crazy. Check out ole boys body language. He hates being in Milwaukee.
to say dame is having a disappointing season is crazy, granted he went through a shooting slump but that’s about it lol
Numbers don’t lie
Well, disappointment is relative to expectation. He’s not playing bad, but I remember how people were talking about Dame and Giannis before the year started. Compared to the expectations, he’s been a little disappointing, but that’s mainly because a lot of these expectations were wildly unfair
Granite.....lol
@@piero914 you happier now? lol

Im usualy bad at prediction but i knew pool was going to be bad. No defence not play making not efficent( even with steph) and he narcissit
Dame is going through a divorce and can't see his kids. Cut him some slack.
No excuse ur job is ur job there is people that get paid 10 a hour 12 hours a day and having worse problems and still do what they have to do
U telling me a man that is getting millions cant perform good cause of that
Gtfoh mane
I think a lot of personal life stuff is bothering dame, he’s completely alone in Milwaukie, taking a back seat for the first time in his career, I think it’ll come when it needs to
awww da poor baby. all alone in big bad mill wawky with nothing to comfort him but his millions and millions of dollars 😢😢😢
Wiggins has been WAY more disappointing than Klay and it aint even close lmfao what are we talking about
Anyone that thought Jordan Poole was going to be a good starter needs to stop listening to Gilbert Arenas. The last year in GS the man shoot 43 FG% and 33 3PT% and was playing 2/3 of the time against the other teams bench players. He is a low IQ, carry the ball every possession, jack a lot of stupid shoots hoping it will go in type of player.
I’m a hometown bullets/wizards fan since the 90s and I have wizards gear from 2021 that I’m embarrassed to wear.
This is just the same s**t as always. Jordan Poole coming to the wizards and being one of the worst players in the league. That’s just how we roll.
I will say I’d rather them tank and stink then be middle of the pack with Bradley Beal. Let’s rebuild, but wow Jordan Poole is already one of the worst contracts in the NBA. Par for the course
Have you watched the bucks game??? Dame been putting in work lately
Jordan Poole would twist MJ ankles
Yeah had to leave this video as soon as he put dame up there bruh if you watch bucks games yk post all star break he’s finding his stride his been going mental , problem with yall folks yall be so thirsty wen something doesn’t mesh right a way, do you not see how much the bucks have went thru this year and they still the 2 seed lol
Give me a hug Bruh🥹
I gotcha my brother , I’m not even one to comment on stuff but ppl gotta stop running with false narratives
Wiggins has been way more disappointing than Klay. Klay has been coming back from 2 straight horrible injuries which naturally have reduced players ability afterward and he’s at an age of decline. Wiggins is supposed to be in his prime and is having by far the worst season of his career. When the warriors won the chip, he was arguably their 2nd best player…this year he's been like 6-8th best. Klay is still no doubt a top 3-4 player on the Warriors despite his age and injuries
Ayton is soft. I saw it before he got drafted. His shot selection shows that he’s not aggressive what so ever. At his size that’s unacceptable
Then can you go check his stats for the recent games he’s played? And when you do come back and delete your Dumbass Comment thanks
You need to worry about getting your weight in check. At this point you won't live to see 50
Klay is still shooting 3s on above league average % but man gotta choose his shots…he is 4th on 3pts made ans just 9 threes away from 2nd position..but his FG% is horrible and his shot selection is even worse
Legend of pickles
Jalen Green is the best young player in this league hands down. He's proven it in the last ten games. Your list is ridiculous so I'm not surprised you brought up Jalen but his recent play should shut you up.
Jordan Poole is shooting 1% less on FG, 3pt, and FT this season from his career. With the same amount of assists and turnovers
which shouldn’t be the case lol
Only because his rookie season was historically awful. Bringing down his averages
I never believed in Jordan Poole…that boy got ya’ll fooled
How is klay on this list.?! Injuries and accepted his roles
Tatum > kevin wayne
14:49 you should have cut to you with like a plate of food or sand or something would’ve been hilarious 😂
Look through the chapter names if you haven't lol
Darius Garland should be up there.
i actually feel bad for Poole, bro got punched in the face and everyone defended Dray when he was clearly wrong and he is always just the butt of all the jokes.
i also dont think he is carefree, i think he is just desperate for something to go his way.
Legend of coveraging
Dame just needs some time to fit in. Hes gonna be a killer next year. Bucks might win it all.
Man I betted my brother he was go average 24 😂 I lost a 100 bucks
Klay will never be a disappointment. He won chips! He played through injuries he’s not on the same level as Zion please stop
Jordan Poole wanted to stay on the warriors that’s why he plays the he does now he don’t want to be a wizard
