Emmanuel Mudiay used to be a potential #1 pick of the 2015 NBA draft, but his career has started off very rocky. He spent 2.5 seasons with the Denver Nuggets before they gave up on him and traded him away to the New York Knicks. So...what's going on with Mudiay's NBA career?

When you buy tickets at SeatGeek to watch your favourite player Emmanuel mudiay play, but he sits the whole game on the bench
Bandwagon 😂
Bandwagon that's TUFF
Bandwagon damn.
Bandwagon savage lol
Emmanuel Mudiay is your favorite player?! Unless he's your family or you personally know him, that's just oathetic and sad.
Low key Mudiay a bust that no one talks about
I swear man....about to go watch ur new video on how Steph injury is fucking up the warriors....am a big big fan mj2k...I'll soon be in new York to play ball...one day I hope u will make a video about me...that would be one of the greatest honours of ma fucking life
MJ2KALLDAY he's not a bust your not in the nba so stop hateing
Wow 2 nba youtubers in here
Boss forlifeXYZ What are you talking about lol
MJ2KALLDAY if he played some time of defense he would be an average player
He provided for his family, is a millionaire, and is playing in NYC...it’s hard to call him unsuccessful.
I don't think he will be a great PG like he was projected, but at best if he develops his shot he can be a pretty decent backup, maybe even a starter on some teams.
AJ The Wright Gamer I actually disagree, with his play style I see either becoming a top point guard or slipping in the g league then retiring. The reason he's being given a spot is the chance that he could grow into something, but if that doesn't happen teams won't want a 43% ts on their bench either
Jackson Royce so basically all good or all bad, I see what ur saying
I'm a Knicks fan so I've watched him a lot recently and he's made zero improvements since his rookie season. Some games you see the flashes of potential but others he's the worst player on the court. For guy as athletic as him, he's so bad finishing around the rim and his defense is beyond lack lustre. Hopefully he improves in the off season
Needs to get in shape and the hitch in his shot has to go.
Agent Gotham that hitch is disgusting lol, some games he has it other games its gone. He's a weird player ngl but he's been playing much better recently. I still think we're a better team when he doesn't play though
dyballocks im Knicks fan too. And Real Madrid fan.
Z dragon cool man, I'm a United fan tho. CR7 is my fav player of all time is that's why I have this pic
He’s doing better off the bench
Do Shabazz Muhammad was Rank the number 1 H.S player in the Country in the class of 2012 & once consider #1st pick in the 2013 mock NBA draft , once compared to A lefty Kobe Bryant in high school.
Ronald milanes he was my favourite draft prospect in that class, if twolves gave him a chance instead of benching him I think he would've done well, luckily my bucks picked him up and he's been very solid so hopefully he can progress there
Ronald milanes u read my mind!
Ronald milanes understand my mind 😁
He's had great flashes of ability
Jesus is Lord
Both Mudiay and Okafor aren't exactly measuring up in the pros like most thought... Hopefully they end up salvaging their careers and being solid... I feel like Okafor got the rawest deal out of both of them... I feel like if he had been drafted to a team that was fully invested in him he would have been much better off
Idris Burch tbh Okafor just isn't getting no type of chance
Okafor wants to be in LA since the beginning. then jim buss and co's select D'russell.
KIПG ΉЦППΛ part of that is okafor's fault... He didn't help himself with his attitude and lack of effort as well as him coming into the season out of shape... He definitively needs to help himself out as well
Idris Burch Okafor lack of effort on defense is truly because Coach K didn't want him to play d all college which turned into a habit... plus Okafor came into this season in great shape he went from 280 to 260 over the summer
Pelicans are helping Jahlil out.
2021 and I just wanna say.. I haven’t heard his name since he was on the Knicks. Thank god we gotten better.
Anyone else believe Mudiay can turn it around?
Andy Hoops If the chips fall
If he ever learns to shoot
When he starts working on his evident weaknesses exponentially better... in short, he's young, expectations high, between players or coaches jobs at winning, a coach would do the obvious, or even vice versa. I don't know if he can, believe, but playing for sake of money + expectations messes with your head in general, plus he's young and that alone deals more damage potentially. I don't know him personally obviously, but as most players, I wish them well and he's come far I mean, to the draft & NBA from Congo? (P.s. I love underdog stories to a fault)
Andy Hoops ye
Andy Hoops yeah
I remember praying that the Knicks would have a chance to draft him since I believed he could be the PG of our future. Now I'd bet on Trey Burke being a better player for us if he stays with the team. Funny how things change
Daiton How about Frank?
basketvic99 I like Frank he's our long term PG but right now I don't think he's ready just yet. For now though I think Trey will be good for us
I actually wanted Okafor, we got Porzingis and I had no idea who he was. I just unwittingly assumed he would play well because he was European. Hindsight...
Daiton What about my man Ron Baker
Andrew Green Everyone should already know Ron is the GOAT
Great video! By the way you wrote it was formally the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That’s what it is called now and it was formally known as Zaire. If I could make videos as great as your videos I’m sure I would mess up stuff like that also, so don’t take it too seriously and just keep making good videos!
Suomi perkele
what we have learned? college player should be payed
Still can't believe they traded Doug for this guy, especially now that Trey Burke has shown he belongs in the nba again along with Frank... No idea why their wasting time with Mudiay.
Lol you moron, you literally just talked about another top point guard recruit who took ages to find his feet in the NBA and then asked why they're wasting their time with Mudiay...smh
Jdl. Yep, Mudiay who isn't near as good as spreading the floor as Doug nor is he any good on defence and a guy who will most likely get cut from the team or play in the G-league for a guy that fit in the offence and was having a good year with the knicks.
Plebtile Doug who
Pretty Bitch Mayweather Take a role player over a bust any day.
WOW, can't say little. I'm going to call the bullyhunters and then they'll get you.
I trusted him. A lot of players show their potential when they're 27-30 and he has a time. But if we think Knicks guard rotation they have to make a choice between ntilikina and mudiay. This 2 young prospects need a time.
I love Andy's Seat Geek Transitions lmao
Commando Plays not as good as Coach nick’s though
Nah Dom2k has the smoothest transition and a new TH-camr KlayAllen also has a good transitions
Anyone remember when Funky turned Mudiay into a god?
William Hicks whaf in his GM series?
Funky is a god
lol thats how i found out about mudiay
2k16 made him so raw . i always wonder what his numbers was looking like .
Mudiay now plays for the team I hate but love watching because their franchise is pretty amazing at supporting young players (the Jazz), will play off the bench behind the best teammate in the league (Conley), and just had a great season in NY where at one point was more efficient than the guy who took his starting spot in Denver (Murray, no disrespect though).
Wish him the best in his career.
Eman had to play overseas because prime prep had an illegal education system. He used to go to my school back in 2011 so yeah bro!
Just don't always buy into hype
As a Nugget fan, I really wanted Mudiay too work out. Too bad it didn't. Never improve his handles, still struggles to finish at the rim, and hitch at the top of his shot sucks. I hope he turns his career around. Seem like a really good person.
If you wanna check him out, download SeatGeek
Do "what happened to keneith ferried
Andy I love your videos bro, I also find it hilarious how the start of the video is super dramatic and leads into a seat geek add 😩😂😩😂
Welcome to the Jazz my dude! You'll find your feet here.
Mudiay been low key pretty nice on the Knicks and no one is acknowledging it. He just dropped 22 against the76ers and has a few other pretty good games.
Greatness is really about how badly you want it. Mudiay is very talented for sure but I am not too surprised that his career hasn’t panned out like many thought it would. For Mudiay, basketball was a way to provide his family a very comfortable life. The situation that he was in drove him and was the motivating factor for him to make it into the NBA. Now that he and his family are no longer struggling, he no longer have the same drive to push himself
Good thing Denver drafted Murray the following season, rather than sitting and hoping Mudiay would pan out
You should make a follow up video about him proving people wrong. The kid is finding his feet. Even if he holds down a starting position this season that is a good result.
Mudiay was a project player that just never developed past what he was. I think sadly his career is basically over because I dont see any team that will be willing to offer him any contract
Wooo what a small world Damm, the guy lived at my uncles house before he moved to the US I didn’t know he was gonna be this good!!🎊🎉
Do an Exum video. Mudiay looks like an AS compared to Exum. That guy is a SUPER BUST.
Alex Perez exam has been unlucky with injuries. He’s not a bust. Non of these guys are busts anyway
Sam Oso they are bust
Can you talk about Norman Powell’s journey to the nba?
Ali Ibrahim who ?
I found somebody who did a video on him I'll copy the link underneath this comment. It was pretty good and I subscribed to him cause he does pretty solid analysis
th-cam.com/video/jH3dvd4TcUQ/w-d-xo.html
From the side he low key look like wiggins
Maybe a year or two in college would have helped him. At the right school with the right coach, he could have improved his game.
I don't fault him for skipping school. But there are lessons learned in college that go beyond the court. You learn how to be an adult and a team player. And I think that is what's missing from his game. He comes off as somewhat selfish who's not really part of the team. Just kind of doing his own thing. As was the case with Brandon Jennings. Both him and Mudiay seem to be a bit immature.
He's seems lazy as well. Or un motivated
Emmanuel has been through so much and has made it so far, he's not just going to roll over and give up. Expect him to rise much like Oladipo did.
I like your videos, you're objective, speaking clear enough to understand you and always bringing interesting stuff. Keep it up the good work.
That is the reality, sometimes the basketballers played good in college but in NBA is different and they have to evolve at their game.
Arath Muñoz some people don't realize how good you have to be to keep a roster spot in this league. Most guys just not that good.
Every nba video sponsores’s seatgeek
I believe he could be a good player
i don t like where he s career is going
I think that is clear lol
Malik Monk should get more minutes if don't he will end up like him
nothing going on, as much as i love ballislife they help falsify play styles by providing tape for students , they not to blame but ofc they need someone more exciting with athleticism on their channels. but put him next to more athletes and you see he not as good. ppl watch tape and exploit weaknesses once u in the nba. mudiay had many flaws. praying for Zion cus i really haven’t seen much but i always forget he is also 6’8
This player was so hyped up that he was even given a documentary about his playing days in China. I think he is presently in the nba minor leagues.
Harris, Murray and Mudiay were overkill for team like Denver to develop.. Denver picked Harris and Murray combo to invest in and replaced Mudiay with somewhat proven PG Devin Harris.. Now, when Gary Harris suffered an injury, Devin Harris kinda exposed his limitations, but overall I doubt Mudiay woulda contribute better towards Nuggets struggle to make it into play-offs this season
Don't really about his future with the Knicks. The Come up of Trey Burke is really gonna hurt Mudiay's chances in finding his role with that team and by next year if Ntilikina is healthy, they're probably going to utilize him more if he's playing well. Hopefully he finds a good home where he can develop cause he's a solid young player just inconsistent.
He's a huge bust that I dont think will get better, but I want him to. His story is insane, with everything he has overcome, he deserves good to come his way
The PG position is the hardest to figure out in the NBA, ask Chauncey Billups. Personally I don’t write off any guard prospects until they are 25, Mudiay is just 22 and starting to come into his own on the Knicks.
I remember that there was talk when he came out that my Sixers was going to draft him and I was like no.
I'm from Denver and I like muddiay a lot I think he really can turn it around
Andy you’re mr favorite youtuber, keep going big things my man !!
He’s 22 he still has a lot of time to develop his game. He’s far from a bust. Ppl are using the word bust a lil too much
Nice video andy hoopsssss.i didn't even know he was still in the NBA league ....
too many commercials and advertisements - you sold out..
Speaking as a lifelong Nuggets fan, my problem with Mudiay was he way too inconsistent and way to turnover prone. The guy would have games where he had 3-4 assists and 6-7 turnovers, and that was just way too many.
Great vid as always bro!
Sup, Andy! As usual, great stuff. 👍🏅
he's a aau iso baby, the nba needs to get involved in these kids development
I still remembered his first professional game, at China.
Got his ass whooped by a 37 year-old Stephon Marbury
i only remembered him as one of the greatest half court winning circus shot lol
He should have went to SMU to play for Larry Brown like he was supposed to do before deciding to go overseas. I believe under his tutelage Mudiay would’ve been a lot more prepared and developed to play the PG position at the pro level. Brown has had a history of coaching if not developing point guards that played at there highest level under him (Iverson, Chauncey Billups, Mark Jackson, Rod Strickland etc.) The biggest mistake he made was not going to play for one of the greatest coaches of all time who specializes in molding PG’s.
I still Believe in Mudiay....he is a young player Who probably has a lot of time left in his career and that’s enough time To Get his basketball playing efficient
Don't forget, Chauncey Billups, Steve Nash, and Kyle Lowry were all late bloomers.. You hear that *Markelle?*
Make a video on Jeremy Tyler, he was the FIRST high profile guy to make the jump overseas instead of going to college!!
You’ve gotta make a video on Kenneth Faried soon.
He played great off the bench tonight
I think he can turn it around because first of all he’s only 22 years old and second of all players can have breakout seasons so I think he can turn his career around
Usually by the last year of a rookie NBA player contract they eventually start to live up to hype but you never know
Andy Hoops I think you need to update this lol Mudiay been balling this year
Mudiay's shooting efficiency number are eerily similar to Lonzo Ball. Lonzo is a better playmaker and defender but not hugely better. I'd like to see how this comparison develops
I feel that wasting 2-3 years developing a very young very raw prospect is often just a waste of time, money, and space. Time as in they lose many games for a few years AND they are eating away at the time on a rookie deal that is basically just a "we will spend millions to train you" deal. money as they lose revenue because nobody wants to watch a bad team play (Whether or not it ended up being worth it, the 76ers lost money in their tanking years) and they are giving millions to a kid who does not contribute much. And finally space, a lot of minutes go to an undeserving player for years! I love the Suns, but right now it is happening to them. Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss (two former lottery picks) have been useless, yet they play big minutes every night and the Suns lose every night! Chriss has regressed and Bender is stagnant. I could count on one hand the amount of good games each has had this season. I am off topic... Mudiay was a waste for the Nuggets. If young players are ready draft them, otherwise take someone deserving.
Suns are losing because they are tanking.
Marquess Chris literally gets a double double every game when he starts
What the who are you talking about? Last night he did, but take a step back. He has started 45 games this year and has 4 double doubles.
That is not a response to what I said.
Alex Len took 4-5 years to become a solid player, which is quite a while. However, unlike certain other players Len rarely was playing over anyone more deserving. He usually came off the bench, or he just was the best option available. And Suns fans were not happy seeing Len constantly drop passes and chuck up a bunch of shots at a rate of about 42%, while we constantly lost. It is more entertaining and profitable to play players already ready to play. I would play the young guys as backups. If they deserve to play, then they play more. Devin Booker and Josh Jackson are 2 young guys who immediately deserved minutes. TJ Warren became a very impactful player, but he wasn't thrusted out there from the start (He backed up a proven PJ Tucker).
I’m hoping he starts to improve for the Knicks but we’ll have to see. He has good flashes but is lackluster most nights. I just want him to back up Burke
Damn, well I see you've been grinding hard on your videos recently, just like me. One day I'm going to be right up there with you. Just wait on it.
0:16 what does his mother have trouble with? I didnt understood.
Smooth seatgeek transition
Emmanuel is one of my favorite players
Dat smooth SeatGeek segue tho 😎
I think Indaina is the perfect fit for him if hes willing to improve defensively
I guess you'll have to remake this video by the end of the season because right now it looks like he's finally turning the corner and becoming what everyone expected after all.
Remember when his school, Prime Prep couldn't get their academics cleared by the NCAA so Mudiay couldn't play for SMU? Or at least it went something like that
As heartless as this sounds, he tried to support his family by going overseas and yet might end up not being able to support them at all if his career keeps going like this. Honestly, skipping college isn't good, even if it was the only option. Not only do you end up losing out on valuable experience growing as a basketball player, but also you don't earn a college degree. It's unfair, but maybe Mudiay just shouldn't have played basketball in the first place.
I'ma stretch it a bit, but to me it looks like the issue with this kid is psychological. Rough childhood back in Africa, having the responsibility to provide for his family so young...I mean, he shows flashes of what he can do, but on the next moment he seems to overthink every play and the mental pressure gets the best of him, like too hesitant to take shots and so on...A pitty.
"behind jalil okafor".
Ok that explains it.
He went to play over season instead of college and the pace of the game was slower idk that’s what I’m thinking I remember him saying something about his shape
Looks at title ok 3mins later if you want to see him play go on seat geak smooth transition
yeah he was the 2nd best player in HIGH SCHOOL against HIGH SCHOOLERS
How about now?
I think he can turn it around. He can develop into a all-star player... if he wants to be.
Reminds me of Terrance Ross’s inconsistency
He still has time it's not easy going from highschool to the pros. Splitting time with Murray and shit.
What happened to Mudiay? His game and his weaknesses were a problem at the NBA level.
What was Mudiay's strength? His handle and his ability to get to the basket.
What were Mudiay's weaknesses? He had no jump shot and couldn't shoot free throws and struggled finishing over length.
Those weaknesses nullified his only strengths.
The moment he got shut down when defended by Sun Yue(yes that Sun Yue) just by Sun forcing him to go left in the CBA it was apparent he wouldn't do well in the NBA unless he could finish, hit free throws, or have a jumper.
He came into the league still not having all 3, and that is why he struggles. His weaknesses completely nullify his strengths.
carrastealth he ain't nothing but another elfrid Payton, Dante Exum, mudiay is one of these guards that can't shoot and is a 12 points per game scorer and 6 assists guy that's it
Honesty I think my nuggets should've kept mudiay. Yes his first 2 season were shakey but this season I saw much more improvement from him, he can actually shoot now and he lowkey won games for us. I think the nuggets were better with mudiay, Devin Harris I think doesn't fit with the team.
Emmanuel Mudiay: proof that athletic talent alone isn't enough to be good in the NBA.
Also with regard to the Mike Malone lack of patience: I feel like if a young player isn't showing signs of progress, then I don't blame coaches for losing patience. I see a similar thing with Thon Maker as a Bucks fan; a tremendously talented player who has incredible potential. but at the same time if he's not improving that much I don't blame Jason Kidd or Joe Prunty for not playing him that much.
Muiday doesn’t care he just wants to ball and support his family at least that’s what I heard
It can take a few years for an already athletic NBA player to get better. Work ethic is key. Gotta eat mostly healthy and lead a good lifestyle. The thing is, we can break down their game from game videos all we want but we don't know what these players do behind the scenes. They could be secret alcoholics, or drink during the season. Some NBA players are known to love the nightlife and make poor decisions. I think the best players like LeBron, Westbrook, Kobe, Jimmy Butler, etc., have an incredible work ethic and self-discipline. Not to mention other personal life drama that can screw up your mental game.
I thought Mudiay was going to be special in the NBA. He drove to the basket like John Wall, dunked like young Brandon Jennings....... Obviously didn’t work out in Denver, and with Ntilikina appearing to be the Knicks future PG, and with the way Trey Burke has played lately, it doesn’t seem as if the Knicks are a great place for him either. Maybe a team like the Magic, or Grizzlies (if they start rebuilding) could be a good place for Mudiay to revive his career, but his game represents a n average 90s point guard, where he can’t really shoot or create shots for himself too much. As of now, a backup point guard is his ceiling.
I just don't get why gms draft people based on their athleticism when they clearly can't shoot. This ain't NCAA where you can walk through defense and windmill dunk on people. NBA defense and NCAA defense are two different worlds really. You can just really on your athleticsm in the NBA
"Dropped off everyone's radar to the 7th pick" LMAO yeah that makes sense
Okafor and Mudiay were the top ranked players in the country? Who was making these rankings? 🤔
