I cant agree with your Jaren Jackson and Bagley take. Jaren Jackson cant be really disappointing if he was a big part in the Grizzlies going to the playoffs. Also in the early part of the year, he was a DPOY candidate. Now he made all defense 1st team. That isn’t disappointing. Marvin Bagley is by far the most disappointing
I was baffled by him considering JJJ, as JJJ was clearly one of the most important pieces in Grizz run, even without Ja on the floor, he was an on-court leader, with amazing defensive skills, got out of foul trouble he had his whole life, played pretty much every game this season... He kinda just matured and got a role. With 2 aggresive players on Bane and Ja, he doesn't even need to be the heavy scorer anymore.
Marvin Bagley got on so many off-court problems and never lived up to his expectations even in the Kings.
I think back then, he was supposed to be this unicorn and do it all. Sure, he's not the main option right now, but his defense (which was his biggest strength) translated well plus he could still punish people in the low post at times and shoot from three (if only he stops having a toxic relationship with fouling). If anything, it should be Bagley here as he hasn't made significant progress (yes injuries suck and was drafted to a team where talent is wasted but still)
Exactly that was the only bad one
He doesnt watch full sports games . Or cares about memphis basketball 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah seriously, that was a horrible take
JJJ is a DPOY candidate all defensive, played pretty 78 games this season, a big man that can is capable of hitting the three and ain't afraid of trying in the clutch, improved a lot with the foul trouble, leader in blocks and blocks+steals in NBA, with great chemistry with the Grizz squad. He got his role. His offensive production did went down as he is still finding a rythm back as a stretch 4/5, but he doesn't need to carry the offensive load, even without Ja on the floor, Bane is now "the guy". He should not be compared with Bagley, who was a higher pick and couldn't stay out of trouble and be a reference even for a bad team like the Kings.
Somehow Darko Milicic would still make this list
Big facts
Took the words right outta my mouth
😅i
it's honestly baffling that you considered putting jaren jackson for 2018. he has his inconsistencies on offense, but what he brings to the table defensively can't be ignored. offense isn't everything, and he brings SO MUCH MORE to that team.
Anyone who makes the all-nba defensive team can never be thought of as a bust. This boy a casual.
@@flash012234 you can tell Andy never played organized ball before
The video is most disappointing. JJJ isn't a bust but he is disappointing. He has yet to become the dominate two way guy they hoped he be. He also is still having foul trouble. It's hard to be high on a guy that fouls out so often
@@laceup62 as a grizz fan I can tell u that JJJ isn’t a two way guy, because he doesn’t need to be. His role is to be the defensive anchor
@@sportstrap4285 they lost in the second round and should of lost in the first if timberwolves didn't blow multiple 20 point leads. But your the grizz fan so if you're alright with that then that's fine
Just because you aren’t a perennial all star or all nba team player doesn’t mean you’re not a great pick in the top 5. Jaren Jackson Jr. is the perfect example of this.
Ayyy it's Showtyme!!! Love ur channel. I agree 100% I'm confident that it should have been clearly Bagely for 2018
@@Dimer_SZN Thank you I love to hear that. I 100% agree I wish the best for Bagley with the Pistons because we all know he wasn’t doing great with the Kings, potential is still there and he still has time to develop but hopefully the change of scenery suits him well. Sacramento is a wasteland of ruining perfectly good players with high upside and talent.
Jaren is a phenomenal defender and a great floor spacer. He’s like the best role player you could possibly get like a Draymond
stfu he talked about him for 10 seconds
yeah I mean I can understand why you might think that because it's top five are supposed to be the five best players in the draft however remember this is not the NFL draft there are only two rounds
Should've made an exception for 2019. Jarrett Culver really deserves that.
i still feel that RJ Barrett will gradually improve a lot in his 4th season in the league, and he'll get a lot stronger in his offense , a lot of knicks fans are going to look forward to his progression
2019 class is super strong. The number 1,2 and 5 picks are already all stars. So basically it’s between RJ and Hunter as to who’s more “disappointing” and even then those guys are well above average NBA player. I’d say Hunter is “worse” for now. I think Hunter could easily win most improved player next season.
He needs a supporting cast that compliments his play style. We’ll see if the Knicks can actually develop a player for once.
@@mattmmixes Hunters flashes of all defense can be reassuring tho
In 5 years once Zion truly becomes Oden 2.0 Barrett won't be the worst of the bunch
2019 might be Zion Williamson. He ain’t playing like college zion
That Cade & Bagley pick n roll was a thing of beauty before their season ended.
Bright future in Mo-Town.
Bagley was still getting benched for poor defense.
@@Shortballa11 plus Hurt half the season, Finger, Ankle. He's a Paycheck chaser
@@DaBoff858 basically, us fans only see the stats sometimes and forget there are reasons these guys aint playing.
Toss up between Jackson and Bagley? Do you even watch Memphis basketball? Bagley struggles to get PT past Kelly Olynyk on a young tanking pistons team with nothing to lose, meanwhile Jackson is the best defender on a team that finished 2nd in the west and only got beaten by the team who is now going to the finals. Jackson may not be as great offensively as he was before but his defense is incredible and he was in contention of DPOY. Bagley on the other hand can't play back to backs without getting hurt. Barret point is also far fetched, he's been much much better than hunter
It’s way too far fetched. Zion is the biggest disappointment. He hasn’t played for such a long time. He’s sitting out
@@dbabu51 stop
@@Disxreet tbf, it is quite disappointing 😭 clearly not a bust, but still, disappointing how his peers was playing out of their mind while he sits and fell asleep on the bench
Let’s be honest this guy hasn’t watched a single game of basketball this year no way he basically said Rj and JJJ are busts which is nowhere near true they literally both had such a great season
That’s what I’m saying. Awful takes
Takes were horrendous lol Jaren Jackson was all DEF NBA and he said Deandre Hunter has more upside than RJ Barrett 😭
Literally I had to say something because rj increased all his stats this season
Yeah the quality on the vids is definitely showing he doesn’t watch or study the game like he used to
Real talk bro
While JJJ has not been efficient offensively he just made 1st team all defense , shouldn’t have even been considered .
Those JJJ and Rj takes are pure blasphemy, Jjj was dpoy candidate and the legit second star on a top seed and Rj is severely underrated, to call him disappointing is disregarding his whole second half of the season
NY should trade there disappointment to the raptors.
Idk rj trash
@@lpe1416 RJ isn’t trash. The system he is in is trash. I’m a Knicks fan and the Knicks organization has been trash for a long time now. Part of our fan base is also trash. If RJ would of ended up let’s say in Miami, Boston, Dallas or any other team his numbers would of probably been better and even still his numbers currently aren’t too bad. It’s just that development in New York is garbage. That’s the reality!!
@@poorweakcua6372 the reason why this guy have this take on RJ is because of Toxic Knick fans like you. Always taking shit about your team. But like to say I’am a Knick fan. GTFOH😂😇😇
@@poorweakcua6372 not wrong, but if he can take over some games why not every game? cause he’s a bust, not horrible but not the 3rd pick
Most of this list consists of centers-that position has the highest risk/reward rate in NBA draft history!
Especially now, as the NBA got smaller and transitioned to a faster-paced game. The role of big men evolved significantly too, and a lot of them got unfortunately caught in this awkward transition phase, being left in the dust before they even made the NBA.
Point guard position got more boom or bust players
@@dukekong2412 A lot of traditional bigs in that time got hunted on switches by teams like the Warriors and they were packed up
Jahlil Okafor had a great post game. With enough support he could’ve been pretty good, or if he was in a different era.
Mario Hezonja has been a way more disappointing player than Okafor. At least Okafor had a good rookie season.
that’s the thing he wasn’t good enough to build around and he had no other game outside the post and was a terrible rim protector
Okafor was drafted basically right when traditional centers was dying. And he had no defensive awareness but If he was drafted in the early 2000s he’d be probably a starter but he couldn’t do anything modern bigs do
Okafor would struggle in any era due to his lack of defense and weak rebounding. A GM would have to find a Shawn Marion or Draymond Green type forward to pair him with and at least one good defender/ rebounder to hide him
Okafor was talented, but NBA offenses spearheaded by post play can't lead elite efficient offenses especially in the modern game. The biggest problem with Okafor was he was very strong negative on defense which at the Center and Power Forward (see: Enes Kanter) position is unacceptable.
RJ Barrett was amazing in the second half of the season and will make that all-star leap next season .
Yeah that was a bad pick from Andy RJ might not be on Ja level but he’s a future all star
Yea he was really good when I saw him on this list I was like seriously how Jarrett culver should be in his spot
@@LamyFamily_ like actually. When talking disappointments we should talk relative to their expectations... zion should have won since he has been absent for 2/3 of his "career". It's been underwhelming and disappointing.
@@agentred316 The list only covers top 5 picks. Wake up before you get out of bed.
@@lucasbell4831 what are you talking about Jarret culver is still ass don’t come at me with this get out of bed I know he wasn’t a top 5 pick top 10 pick actually and he is still a bust not even on a NBA team right now must be a salty timberwolves or something if you are I apologize that he was a bust for you but I was rooting for y’all in the playoffs
How can you say JJJ and bagley were close, jarren was on the two seed and played in 78 of those games. His offense is down but it’s in big part due to Ja’s usage rate, he was in the conversation for DPOY, was an all defensive 1st team player this year and is a pivotal piece of Memphis rn all at the age of 22. I’m not saying Bagley is a bad player or anything but he is not in the same stratosphere at JJJ. That was a bad take, but the list seems pretty good keep up the good work
Facts
dam is it good ? 😂
JJJ stepping it up so far! No Morant, JJJ is putting up his best numbers ever at 22-8. But Grizzlies are 1-10, how much of that is should be blamed on him?
Disagree with the RJ Barrett take, as a Knicks fan, I see what goes on and he has been great, looking better each and every year. He’ll get better soon too. He’s also better than hunter, far and above.
Facts.
Ong
RJ Barrett finna have a break out season next year
@@Macandblues We need him to be great this season.
RJ has played 3 different positions, for 3 different coaches in 3 seasons. It may take him another couple of seasons to get it.
Andy just made me realize that Wiseman might potentially win an NBA Championship without doing much.
Darko Milicic type beat
Wouldn't be the first lol
Nigga didn’t do shit tf you mean much? 😂
@@theowenstuart And also drafted second overall too hahahaha
You’re being too generous… he might win one without doing ANHTHING
“Rj Barrett is gonna end up like Wiggins”
Whats wrong with that? Wiggins is going crazy right now and is a key contributor to the warriors making it to the finals 😂
Fax I was looking like what😂
it means he's not that guy and would be better as a role player
Did you watch memphis all season💀 Jackson was like a 18 and 8 guy and led the nba in blocks and memphis had the 2nd seed . He was their second best players behind ja
I remember calling the Lakers crazy for drafting D'Lo over Jahlil.. Guess I was very wrong
As an unbiased Knicks fan, that rj take was terrible
Yeah bro that was a terrible take about RJ he’s a future all star
Yeah I think for 2019 it should be "no one", plus Barrett is clearly better than Hunter
I can tell you haven’t really watched Jaren play. He’s been great for Memphis injuries aside and he’s the same age as Ja. He’s gonna get better. Bagley is so much more disappointing I’m surprised you said this.
He is speaking of Josh Jackson, not Jarren...
@@martinvera1681 you keep commenting this, just watch the video and listen to the part where he talks about bagley and compares him to jaren jackson…
@@martinvera1681 watch the whole video
@@martinvera1681 he shows pictures of jaren jackson and literally says 2018 class
RJ Barrett!??? Dude are you serious !? RJ improved every year since he got drafted you acting like he’s a bum. It’s true that he can be inefficient but cmon bro he just averaged 20 6 5 last season
Wiseman will be great, it’s tough seeing all this hate towards somebody who’s barley played.
Especially when Isaac Okorro should’ve been the choice for that year
@@Goofbirdent availability is the best ability. As Long as Wiseman cannot stay healthy he is the most disappointing one, although I think he has a brighter future than okoro he has to stay healthy
@@Goofbirdent Okoro was slated to go from 4 to 8th pick in most drafts just on nba ready elite defense alone. All scouting reports repeated this thought he needed time to be NBA ready on offense. He can't be disappointing if he has delivered on this defensively and has a positive +/- all around. He made a leap in his second season as 48% 35% is decently efficient for a guard.
oh definitely Marvin Bagley Jr , how could we remember that the Kings should've took Doncic instead of Bagley, it was really rough for them to take him instead , but at least there's still hope for Marvin Bagley in the league
The Kings still have DeAaron Fox. I don’t think they’ll complement each other well. They needed a bigman especially after losing Cousins. And Bagley failed to impress the Kings. They could’ve gotten JJJ or Bamba instead of Bagley.
@Fries probably not because their player development is still god awful
@Fries Negative. Fox would request a trade since Luka’s a PG, and Fox can’t afford coming off the bench.
Personally would have chosen Zion Williamson as the most disappointing player from the 2019 top 5. Man can't even stay on the court.
or get on the court... but yeah I'd say that too. He's missed more games than he's played.
@@bullshark3771 I actually think the Pelicans should atleast seriously consider not resigning him to a max. I probably would prefer letting him walk to giving him a max right now.
I never understood why Bender was taken, even if he had the “skill set”. I just always thought he would be a busy a second he was drafted
AND YOU CALLED WIGGINS BAD? bro massive disrespect
If RJ Barrett turns into anything like the more recent version of Andrew Wiggins, that will be good for him as a player though it would also prove he was drafted way too high.
Current Andrew Wiggins is a 4-5 pick in almost any draft.
Wiggins currently a second option on a championship team people just thought he was Jordan make it seem it like he’s not a good player obviously comparing to Jordan or Kobe he isn’t that but a great second option all star level player
Just wanted to say that I love your videos and been watching for years even when I wasn't subscribed
Barrett does NOT deserve to be on this list. Next year he’ll be averaging 23, 7, and 4. Mark my words.
Marked
Probably not or if he does it will be on god awful efficiency
@@Slickgary007 L
@@bigshiesty2309 good one 👍
Jaren Jackson was the Block
champ this year and made an all defensive team. Can’t see how he’s a bust by any mean of the term
He was expected to be much better on offense and at one point was considered the top draft prospect but yea dude is still a great player regardless
@@donnyg9993 It's hard to be better on offense when the point guard is taking all the shots. JJJ doesn't have the ball. Ja Morant does
This narrator is a stat reader. An analytics guy. He doesn't watch games. There's a reason why Memphis was 21-4 at one point Without Ja Morant. Part of the reason was JJJ. I bet he averaged around 20 ppg with Ja Morant being out
How can you say that about JJJ? He just made a all defensive team. Same for RJ Barret. Yeah hes not looking like a superstar rn but he definitly is improving every season
Whenever I think of Top 5 picks I think of the debate from 2009 who was a bigger disappointment in either Hasheem Thabet or Jonny Flynn
Thabet, Sinns was due to injuries, unfair to put that on him
*flynn
Andy Hoops Back it again with the Saturday content yessir!!!!
These picks bring back memories of some really fun times in the league.
Bro I'm sorry but I highly disagree with a lot of these picks. JJJ Rj barrett I dont think you are taking enough factors into account and you missed a lot of pokts on why some of these players are where they are. Come on bro you are better than this
ANDY HOOPS BACK AT IT WITH CONTENT
Wtf were you smoking when you thought of the JJJ and RJ takes? I don't even watch the Knicks like that (Grizz fan), but I know Barrett has been solid and is still getting better. You could honestly argue that Zion has been the most disappointing because of how much time he's missed. Granted, I think next year Zion is going to be an all star as long as he stays healthy.
Facts people just be saying anything abs don’t know ball
Loving the content, inspired me to start making some of my own sports videos!
tbh for 2019 i would at least consider zion. man has more minutes on fortnite than in the nba.
Video had all facts, keep up the great basketball content
Just made it. Love these types of videos , keep it up Andy.
Andrew Wiggins still catching strays even after being the second best player on a finals roster
i need whatever you are smoking.
Iits Steph, Dray, Klay, Poole and then somewhere in the distance Wiggins. He is just lucky to be in this situation
@@Shortballa11 Wiggins was the most consistent player after Curry and the best "2 way player" on that team in the playoffs. Klay is still rusty. Draymond Green can't shoot. Jordan Poole can't play defense
@@Shortballa11 you really think Poole is better than wiggins I need what your smoking wiggins the reason they in the finals I’ll tell you that right now
@@mongoslade277 Consistently trash. When Curry went down Wiggins had a chance to rlly show up in the regular season and he proved everyone right by playing worse. he is the 5 most important player on the team
@@yahiaali4059 hell yeah. Poole shooting the best out of the whole team. and know they arent in the finals cuz if Wiggins lol. I need what you are smoking cuz did you miss the part where CUrry, Klay, and Dray were in the finals 5 times before him. U literally just stick a serviceable forward in that slot and it gets the job done. Harrison Barnes has a ring my guy
Andy I love you. Been a subscriber since 2017 but some of these recent takes are a lil reachy but it’s sports talk we don’t have to agree! Love this channel
I love your videos, Andy, but I definitely have to disagree with JJJ. Bagley is easily the most disappointing pick in 2018.
You can take JAREN Jackson Jr out of your 2022 update because he quickly become a star. I couldn’t believe just how good he was watching Memphis this year. Can do everything.
Andy I was feeling the video until you brung up RJ barrett you lying and clearly haven't watched RJ and if you think he not better than hunter you bugging for that RJ balled last year as A two way player
Idk these ppl smoking something man💀💀
Ben Simmons if the best number one pick since 15 because he’s gorgeous
I agree with most of these but personally I would take Zion instead of Barrett. Like you said, mentality is extremely important, and a winning mentality is not missing more games than you've played, and he has had more than enough time to recover from injuries.
No.
That doesnt make any sense. Your mentality doesnt matter when your body is injured.
@@georockmann7113 Yeah but he has had so much time to recover it's inexcusable how much time he has missed.
@@jacobgreczek9555 That's not how it works. You act like he doesn't want to play. If his body isn't healthy then he's just not healthy.
dumb comment
Man these teams man, if only they chose the best player available, they could’ve been still playing in these playoffs!!
Having RJ over Deandre Hunter is insane
Man what on earth are you talking about? Jaren Jackson Jr is a stud. RJ Barrett gets better every single year.
As someone who followed European basketball back in mid 10s I can say one thing about hezonia and dragon they both shouldn’t have been drafted in the lottery even at the time I thought it was strange that they did to me they looked like guys who need the right system to teach them to play, they both were at least two years away from even being able to be starters in Europe, especially with hazonia, besides shorting which he was average at he had no real skill and was a black hole on defence, these two guys legit almost killed young European basketball because most team were afraid to take tallent from here, but then again when a team like suns, magic or kings draft u, it’s already over for you
If San antonio drafted them then it's a different story
When you hear those trumpets, you know that video by Andy is gonna be a banger
Terrible video. Exposed him for not watching or knowing basketball
You don’t watch Memphis basketball and that showed heavily. Jaren played the most games of all grizzlies this year, and at times he was the most important player so to his size and defensive abilities. Jaren had a down year efficiency wise because of his amount of threes he takes. He is 22 and only getting better. Possible future all star
RJ Barrett has not been disappointing. In the contrary, dude just came off a season where he averaged 20 PPG in his 3rd year, improving EVERY YEAR so far. Solid defender, rebounder and becoming a better shooter. Knicks fans were claiming for him to become the #1 option lol how is that disappointing?
Him and the JJJ take were terrible takes lol
i mean, he's like, UNBELIEABLY ineffecient.
RJ never gonna hit his ceiling with Randle here pretending to be the number one option.
Zion def the most disappointing from his draft what are you talking about 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂. Zion may never play again
🤡
JJJ was being considered an all star snub by some analysts this year wont really call him disappointing tho his offense this year was pretty mediocre but I think its just due to recent injuries. I feel like he could still come back. However I still think Bagley's ceiling is still higher if detroit could develop him properly.
It's a shame my pistons have hadseveral of these players and others that could have qualified.
2015 is filed with disappointments.
Same with my suns
I unsubscribed since his video where he called drose washed when drose was actually ballin and in the run for 6th man of the year. Several months (a year maybe?) after, here he goes again with a dumb take 🤦🏻♂️
Anything past 2019 doesn’t make any sense. They still pretty new too the league and have plenty time to grow. Plus that JJJ take was horrible as hell. That man a monster on Def and will improve on offense even more so
Yeah people don’t realize he’s actually younger than Ja and missed a lot of time with injury before this year. He still has a lot of room to grow but he’s very good in his role as long as he can stay on the court he’ll be fine
it’s so funny thinking about that Josh Jackson/Shawn Marion comparison because like a couple years later they would get their new Shawn Marion in Mikal Bridges
I’m surprised u said that about Jaren Jackson he was fun to watch in the playoffs making deep threes and playing good D
Zion should have beaten out RJ for Most Disappointing for that Top 5. Dude ate his way into borderline “Zion who??” status. RJ is a future All-Star
Andy, your channel is still the best when it comes to basketball videos. Keep up the outstanding work, brother.
Looking back the 2018 draft was spectacular
My guy, what exactly do you mean about Jaren Jackson Jr being a disappointment when he was on a team that just made it to the second round of the playoffs, while also LEADING THE LEAGUE in blocks and being first-team all defense. He's done so much more then Marvin Bagley in the league that it's really quite laughable to compare them.
Your comments on RJ are ridiculous! He has improved and had a good season. And trying to diss him by comparing him to Wiggins isnt a diss! Wiggins has been the 2nd best player on the warriors nba finals run. You need to watch more basketball as opposed to looking at stats all day.
i think Jahlil Okafor is actually good but his game is just not suited in today's game plus he's bad defensively. I just hope someone would give him a chance and give him plays.
Holy hell that JJJ take aged terribly
I was definitely pissed when the 76ers grabbed Okafor one pick ahead of my Knicks picking Porzingis.
And then I saw them go head to head in the summer league and Porzingis ate Okafor up alive in every conceivable way. When he wasnt popping jumpers over Okafor he was driving past him to the rim for a dunk. What was worse was how Okafor, a classically trained big man with an excellent menu of post moves kept getting his shots blocked in the post.
At one point Okafor got so frustrated that on a back to the basket spin move he purposely left his elbow out and nailed Porzingis in the chest. He got T'd up and they took Okafor out of the rest of the game.
At that point I just knew the Knicks dodged a bullet.
I was gonna say something about your JJ take. But I see everybody else in the comments already destroyed you…I’ll let you live this time..
Niggas big trippin on how he feel bout Jaren Jackson Jr, and R.J Barrett to the point where I had to turn the video off. And I really thought bro knew hoops a lil bit 🤦🏿♂️
He don’t know shit about basketball he saying anything 😂
To me Patrick Williams was also a disappointment in the 2020 draft. He is too much of an injury prone. He is only 20 so he needs to stay healthy on the court. He still has time to improve. Well it's shocking drafting someone like Williams top 5 averaging less than 10 ppg being a bench player in college.
How are you even considering called Jaren Jackson Jr. a dissapointment... man averaged 2.3 blocks this season. 2.3 BLOCKS. That's the highest average in the league?
What you on about?
Okafor helped my bracket when he won for Duke
Saying that RJ Barret is the most disappointing of his class when Zion is out for a year and something like 30 pounds overweighted... why not
I agree with the players chosen, just would like to add that Hezonja actually won the mvp of the russian league. he is a decent player, wish he got more playing time in the nba.
The way the Nba is played 2 day I dont get why any team would draft a center or power forward in the top 5.
Yo Andy! How's going?
Nah I'm sorry bro, I don't think RJ should be here. He literally outshined Julius NO HANDLE Randle this past season and proved the team should run through him
On draft day u can see Okafor's disappointing face when the Lakers didnt draft him lol
I too was shocked when LAL drafted DLo cause i know they already got a guard in Clarkson
Wiseman has raw talent. Dudes been out for over a year and has some step backs. I trust the warriors to give him the right development to grow
I have hope the Warriors can make Wiseman a stud. Wiseman had the bad luck of being picked by the Warriors, a team where is hard for players to learn the system quickly, but the good luck of being picked by a team that is not only patient but also known for their player development.
Andy hit us with the “yo how’s it going”
Andy Hoops before sleep
Totally agree that Dragan Bender is a cool name but like others I am baffled by mentioning JJJ here. 1st All-NBA defense and league leader in shot blocking. He contributed more to Memphis success than Ayton does with Suns.
Jackson been scoring double digits, block leader last year, rebound numbers are like Brook Lopez, his 3s not so good but a defensive present, Jackson has great numbers in playing time
If he never got hurt and joined a good franchise like the Spurs I think Okafor would still be a good NBA player. Dude had the smoothest post moves for a rookie I've seen
In the world of top athletes, the best athletes don't necessarily survive.
I feel that players who can adapt to the times and tactics will survive.
Hi Andy
Imagine my sixers with a current lineup of pg-booker sg-mitchell sf-tatum pf-adebayo C-embiid Bench j poole maxey & mikal bridges (Philly native who's mom WORKS for the organization & we traded him lmfao why we suck so bad)
Like how hard is this!!! That's a dream team!
How tf is Jaren Jackson Jr disappointing smh
Man's was on all defense team 😂😂😂 idk how he disappointing
Every grizz fan is madly proud of him, great guy on and off court for the team, I mean wth disappointing?
As a Grizzlies fan, go ahead and watch one of our games, specifically one of the ones where Ja was hurt. Then try and tell me JJJ is disappointing, you can’t
The dude was our defensive anchor in a year where we got the 2nd seed when no one expected us to be that good and our star player missed a lot of time. He’s also a good enough offensive player. Is he a 20ppg guy? No but not every good big man is, especially when you have very high volume Guards and Forwards anyways
As a Knick fan, RJ is a robot, this is true. But the man averaged 20+ the second half of the season, this is NOT disappointing. He was the ONLY consistent bright spot on a dysfunctional Knicks roster last year. If the Knicks are able to nab a star through the draft or free agency, he'll be a great #2, that's his peak
You should do this for prior years as well.
I saw Bagley get tossed around by a 6'8" PF in his first Summer League and knew he would mostly be a bust. And RJ Barrett got drafted that high cause came from Duke
Another problem with Okafor is that the NBA changed right when he came in because of Steph and the Warriors. And he was like Ben Simmons because he never adapted even after the injuries. Every star big man has gained a 3 point shot or at least can shoot a deep midrange shot
