No his skill set is what it is he had 8 plus yrs and never got better at some point you have to say he didn't put in the work or his skills is what it was average at best he was a role player that luck out and got drafted in the top 5
I knew MKG wasn't going to pan out at all. He was a hustler who had a great motor. Everything about him was effort. Salute to him for making it that far.
I love Crowder, one of my favorite guys in the league. Fits in any system, always gives you what he's got. A genuine tough guy, unlike all the frauds who pretend to be tough picking on smaller guys (Marcus Morris I'm looking at you)
The one thing I can say for sure is his defense was and still would have been the main reason he got to make it to the nba, because man that jumpshot is telling of his offensive game. I could not in anyway understand how that jumpshot was never fully fixed.
Almost 10 years later, I'm still completely shocked and baffled as to how mkg made it all the way to the league through aau/high school / college and not a single coach / trainer refined his shooting form. Mind boggling 🤯
He had everything else and those coaches only care about winning. The worst thing I did was played high school basketball played me out of position for 3 years.
MKG always played big. You can see it with what little offensive repertoire he has (offensive rebounding, short mid baby hooks, close range jumpers). He should've always been an undersized 4 but Charlotte drafted PFs three drafts in a row. The jumper was always going to be a work in progress and everyone knew it at the time. Charlotte really just drafted him because he was a workhorse and they thought he could start a culture shift, not looking into what his personality coming out of college was (and because they thought they were getting AD after probably the worst season in NBA history). Oh and Mark Price kind of left him for dead midway through promising to fix his jumper so take that how you will. There was improvement in the area right before Price left and then he got hurt. He reverted to the janky inward elbow again after coming back. Clifford is probably the only coach who ever believed in his strengths, letting him crash the glass with reckless abandon and letting him post up a bit when opposing teams hide small guards on him. The moment Clifford left, Borrego just put him in the doghouse, never used him and then he got waived.
MKG the heart and soul of the 2012 National Championship Kentucky Team. I so wanted and still want for him to succeed in the League due to how hard my guy plays!!!
When they were stacked. Kentucky had this twice. Remember the platooning that Devin Booker the Harrison twins, trey lyles and other had too do on that stacked Kentucky squad
Wallace was sick from the moment he touched down at Bama. There’s plenty of guys in the league that can jump as high or higher, but few have displayed the explosiveness in combination. MKG can’t even touch Wallace’s rookie year highlights in SAC.
@@zeroturn7091 Agreed. That's what made him so great in Charlotte during his playing days. I was hoping the would've built a solid team around him but it wasn't meant to be. They could have been a threat if they kept certain the roster back in 2010
We often hear about players from the 80's or 90's would fit much better in today's game, but I think MKG would do better in the 90's where defensive efforts were more emphasized over shooting and scoring. Coaches like Pat Riley and Chuck Daily would love to have him on their teams.
I still to this Day don’t know how in the hell we ( The Charlotte Hornets ) didn’t get the number one pick an why in the hell did we Draft him number fucking 2🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Nah the Hornets competed hard asf. They were the worst team but they still played hard. I believe if Charlotte competed, they would’ve gotten a shot at AD.
@@k.t.harmon343 oh no doubt. I think him and Kemba would’ve been a nice pair but I do believe that he would’ve left. I think the Pels & Hornets have very similar management tactics, and being that they’re smaller markets, free agents are harder to come by.
The year he got 12.7PPG he got hurt. He only played 7 games that year. Injury will always be the biggest stunt in a player’s growth. Being healthy is the most important thing to prevent growth stunts
A few names for you, that I can't remember if you've done yet: Bill Walker, Nolan Smith, Nerlens Noel, Jared Sullinger, Gerald Green, Shaun Livington, Korleon Young, Leon Smith, Taj McDavid, Reggie Bullock, Harrison Barnes, Brandan Wright, Daquan Cook, Derrick Caracter, Randolph Morris and Jordan Farmar
MKG went exactly where he should’ve went in the top 5 where all the experts and scouts had him going. He played in the NBA for 9 seasons and made a lot of money. If he’s considered a bust then I would love to be in that situation.
I don’t comment often, but I just wanted to reach out and say what an amazing job you do on your videos. It’s hardly understood the work and research it takes to do videos like this. Keep up the good work!
I grew up here in jersey and I remember it seemed like his spot in the pros, was solidified by his freshman year of HS. He was 6"5 then and they were projecting him to be 6'10-7ft by Senior year. Despite the rankings and success, I feel like everybody in Jersey knew was it was, and wasn't expecting him to be an Allstar
Good question you asked about high school because Dante exam showed out in the under 17 world tournament look at him now he was supposed to the next kobe
I feel like MKG growth wasn’t stunted. He became exactly who is was probably always going to be. He has some special physical gifts, but also had some very big weak points. In the long run, MKG had a fairly long 8 year NBA career and made starter money for most of that. That’s the best case scenario for his level of talent. He got picked high because some teams have the hubris to think they can fix any flaw, which isn’t true. Really, the only stunted growth in this story is that of the Charlotte basketball team due to management.
damn how can you not learn how to shoot? you'd rather choose a Tony Allen shooting form or a Ray Allen form? these players don't know who they watching back in the day
Shawn Marion shot over 81% from the line and 48% from the field that's better numbers then Curry. He shot was Nasty but it was Money. 15ppg and 8rpg in his career stats. MKG was nowhere close to that lmaooo
He'll be good, hes in a position to use his 8 years of NBA experience to get another contract playing in either a A high profile Euroleague team, China CBA team or even a NBA team that's looking to fill up the bench. All within the 7 figure range (1 million to 2 million max).
Florida State would have been perfect for him to develop with the experience that program had with long, athletic players. I get why he went to Kentucky for draft prospects, but he could have had both development and stock at FSU.
I’d take the Jae Crowder career. Jae might get a ring now and I know he’s been on a lot of teams but I think that speaks to how great of a role player he is. What is MKG great other than being a bust? Finessing contracts but that’s really his agent so…
No ring this year for Crowder, and MKG's career earnings are still about $18M higher than Crowder's. I'll take MKG's career if Crowder doesn't sign a decent contract or win a ring before he retires.
My question to any coach or trainer respectfully that was training or coaching MKG pre NBA and while in the NBA, what was you teaching him? To MJ respectfully, what did you see that we didn’t? These are my real questions I have because I’ve watched just about all his college and NBA games from day 1 I never seen the hype and I really try to find the the smallest part of someone’s game that can be elite if developed but I’ve never seen it in MKG. I’ve been waiting on this one.
@@GDCDGC But 2nd pick overall? Idk the people that make these decisions is clearly not capable because they miss way to much on obvious weaknesses of these players.
Hurt tweener: Manimal Kenneth Faried, LaPhonso Ellis, Rodney Rogers, Jared Sullivan, Anthony Bennett,Gabe Muoneke, Mike Beasley, Perry Jones(probably more I can't think of rn); Helped tweener: D. Rodman, Draymond, Giannis, KG, Anthony Mason, PJ Tucker, KD
He was the 2nd overall pick because of William Wesley. WWW was the UK connect & was the Bobcat connect. WWW repped Coach Cal & Jordan. Hence MKG’s route.
Remember MKG made 2 bets a different times. 1st was with Kemba Walker and he lost and had to wear UConn gear. 2nd bet was with Marvin Williams and lost again had to don UNC gear.
Having no jumper just closed off all his options on offense. Even though we get on Ben, he’s 6’10 and can easily just be a big man. MKG being only 6’7...he just didn’t belong
We got to shine more light on the teams and culture that these kids are being drafted to. The draft is unfair at times giving the worse teams the best odds. Clearly there culture isnt good for development most times. They tend to get these high draft picks and turn these players in to bust. Then by the time their traded they already have developed bad habits.
The thing that still baffles me about the NBA after decades of being a fan is how bad team building and talent evaluation is. It wasn't hard to see from my couch that MKG was mid to late round experiment. NBA teams spend alot on personel to get these things right. What games are these people watching?
I'm a UNC fan, and I remember there was a St. Patricks game from 2009 on demand, and I was at my mom's house, and Dexter Strickland, who was a UNC commit was in that game, and I wanted to see him, so I turned it on. MKG was in tenth grade then, and I had no clue who he was, and after a while, I stopped watching Dexter, (who was not all that impressive) and just focused on him, because I just couldn't believe how hard this kid played. His motor truly never stopped, and I remember after the game, I looked online and saw that he was the second ranked player in the class of 2011, and I thought "Ah, this makes sense now." I always LOVED his motor...not necessarily his overall game because of that awful hitch in his shot, but I always believed that he'd at least be a good NBA player for the simple fact that he played so unbelievably hard all the time. While that motor always burned hot, and still does, that offensive game never developed, and he never could get that shot together, which really lead to his downfall in the league. But, shoutout to him for getting as far as he did with a pretty limited skill set.
The question- I Would look at a school if they are stacked. Then I’m looking at stats and what he did. If he’s by himself. Then I’m looking at what he could do on the floor. What matters in high school I don’t care unless your Darius garland and got injured early in the season
If he chose FL St or Villanova, I think this story ends much better. It was clear his game needed a ton of work to play the wing. How the hell do you ignore that funky form on that jumpshot??
A lot of kids can fit into this after Paul George and K.Leonard developed from long defenders into scorers teams started looking for that. It’s why Justice Winslow was so coveted.
Seeing some older, different era player who didn't live up to the expectations would be cool, add a little history of the game to it. La Rue Martin, Ken Benson, Ernie DiGregorio, Al Wood....etc
Do you think If MKG was picked later he would've turned out different?
Possibly. Could have turned out worse to you never really know. Moral of the story is always do everything in your power to succeed and you will
No MKG was not skilled offensively he was just athletic & a hustle player his time at Kentucky hid his weakness btw I like the questions added.
Do Josiah Turner!

He’s from Sommerdale NJ and always played at the Youth center
Great Episode...SCOOONIE PENN NEXT... STOP FRONTIN ON ME STUNTED GROWTH LOL...☝️😎
He's done Scoonie Penn...
@@mistermann3225
He did? Must be recent
@@bluehill2895 Yeah, but it's an old vid. You gotta scroll through his vids. If you look hard enough, you will find it
What is that beat? Where can I find it? Who do I contact to use it?
Does anybody know where to watch that "Prayer For The Perfect Season" documentary?? I can't find it anywhere.
Villanova should of been the school he should have went to being that jay wright is great coach and how that program develops players for the Nba
That opening segment was crucial, goddamn.
And please do a Nick Young vid thought he was going to he a star when he came into the league he showed alot of flashes
I thought the same...
Even as a high school sophomore I remember watching kentucky and said he's only going top 5 because of A.D and the blue brand 🔵.
bro i been waiting to be able to comment this, thanks for dropping that lil pump BS essskettit was dumb af
If he chose FL St or Villanova, I think this story ends much better. It was clear his game needed a ton of work to play the wing. How the hell do you ignore that funky form on that jumpshot??
He didn't have to shoot in college because they had players to fill that role
True that , but at some point his form was revealed and a scout should have had concerns, imo
🗣Anthony Randolph next!!
we need vin baker and marcus liberty would be good for this stunted growth
I concur on Vin Baker. He had a nice career overall
Vin Baker is an Olympic Gold Medalist and multiple all star, though.
I thought he couldve been another Iggy but I think the shoulder injury destroyed his confidence too
Im so glad other people see what I saw, his shoulder injury really affected his game
A lot of kids can fit into this after Paul George and K.Leonard developed from long defenders into scorers teams started looking for that.
It’s why Justice Winslow was so coveted.
Jarvis Hayes next please
Ooh good one!
Lmao at the intro ...at least mkg knew ..😂
He was better than alot of ppl that were considered busts his jumper was just horrible 😂😂😂
Seeing some older, different era player who didn't live up to the expectations would be cool, add a little history of the game to it. La Rue Martin, Ken Benson, Ernie DiGregorio, Al Wood....etc
