I love the vibe, no negativity just constructive. Great vid!
@@camcade8354 I appreciate it! Tough to not come off as negative when evaluating. I try to call a spade a spade
That analysis was crazy, very impressive to hear
Thank you for watching!!
@@antgoods87we was living in that “corner store” in Dakota.
Mad respect for you bringing exposure to this! I watch TH-cam hoopers more than nba these days and I’m loving to see them take it places and to see the rest of the community support this movement! SN: shout out to Big Guard U and Big 3!🗣️
This looks like 24hr fitness run w/ a few D2 guys sprinkled in.
This is the type of honest feedback every developing player needs. What are scouts really looking at and wanting and what he can work on.
Your understanding of the game is impeccable. Keep up the good work champ!
"I'd like to see a better effort defensively". I can say that about 75% of the NBA teams right now. Great video!
jas had 4 steals at least
There's levels to this though. What looks like low effort defense in an NBA game would look effortlessly smothering in a G-League tryout.
@@BlueDrew10 To some extent. I see more guys wide open chucking up 3's than ever before.
@@joshuaberg-nabors4649counting stats doesn’t mean anything in a tryout, it’s about the talent he showed not a steal or an assist here and there
thats only superstars who want their numbers all role players have to defend
My friend was Mr. Basketball for his state and played at Northwestern. He would have zero chance in the g-league and he started every game in the big 10 as a freshman. There are levels to this and Tjass isn't even close.
How tall is your friend? And damm no confidence in that man at all😂😂
Who? Why u cappin
@@nicklee-dn8xk Nah man he is right, g league guys are often the former best players on power 5 D1 teams, it's stupid how good they are. A lot of people don't understand the level g leaguers are on until they see them playing among normal people in a pick up setting, it's a level of basketball people aren't aware exists until they play against it or see it first-hand.
He's not even in the ballpark not even the same sport. He's not even a top level rec player.
@@richardsewell8657nope. It’s hilarious that people think this brocolli head is pro material 😂
Wow This was an amazing breakdown man. I bet you would make a really good caoch
Thanks man! I’m humbled and glad you enjoyed it
@@antgoods87 What teams have you worked for/with? And how did you become a scout? Great video, the first I've seen on this channel but I just subscribed
I think you’re 100% right at his size you have to be a pain in the ass literally as a defender!!!!
The hell you mean “literally” ? 😂
@@nineislife simply full force not half ass I was using the word as a noun in my metaphoric sentence
Defense is not that simple ngl
@@nineislife1:03
@@nineislifehe means on the court, in the locker room, in the showers, the bed room, anywhere 😂
The big problem with guys like Tristan Jass is that they just don't have the size or endurance to handle the grind of a full NBA season. He could probably turn some heads in a short sample size, but over the long haul, the law of averages wins and guys like him fizzle out.
Exactly. People think fame alone can bring them in the NBA... He might look good on TH-cam, but he'll get destroyed by any bench warmers that don't even get 1 min of play time. He's literally too small, not athletic enough, not fast, and not skilled enough. Just stick you TH-cam basketball and make that money there.
A lot of these dudes don't know how to play actual Basketball lol. They're so used to playing in the parks.
@MarkDanger777 that's not even what the comment said lol you said exactly and proceeded to say completely different stuff
@@impactEditHDHe's a skilled basketball player. Probably not NBA skilled, but he definitely knows the game and plays it well.
But let's assume that he does have NBA caliber skills. Skills alone only get you so far. You have to combine that with size and endurance just to have any hope of surviving at the professional level. A good example is Jeremy Lin. He turned some heads for a while, but eventually skill alone couldn't help him overcome the grind of a long, grueling season.
@@poshko41 this was a for content tristan is not dumb enough to think hes going to the nba being 5'9 and making millions playing casually
I don't think he is a professional but I think he is a tier above most of the casual pick up hoopers on TH-cam.
He’s definitely a professional overseas
@@Grind2Excellence nah
at his size he is not a pro same skills at 6'3 he is definitely a pro
@@Lazy-kv4kb I can see that.
@@Lazy-kv4kb tbh id argue his skill set at 6 3 not only is he a pro, he's an nba player. Tristan jass's skill set is as good as anyone on the planet. The problem is he's too small unfortunately. Even with his size he could be a bench player on most d1 schools as a walk on. He wouldnt get much playing time though imo cause of size.
I’d love to hear your take on Oliver Xu
Real talk
oliver xu is cold
Did he get onto a GLeague team or is there footage of his tryouts? I saw he was at Rico Hines but didn’t see him in any footage.
@@lawbinson I don’t think he made gleague yet
This. I def think he can defend in the league but his offense I'd be curious to hear a 2nd opinion
You’re a great scout, I’m a 5’9 guard at a D2 in Chicago right now and I’ve been doing exactly what you said with being a pest on defense and I was wondering if u had any more advice for me, thanks
Got to be a Floor General or a great scorer, both at best. If u are small u got to be the best player at nearly everything to make up for your size.
Go to a grocery store and apply
You'd be perfect for it
It's what can progress your skills
I can train you and get you where u need to be! Succeeding!
Grow 3 inches
You should give up. You’re too small
advice is to get a real job cause your obvi never going to make a career out of basketball lmao. be real and not delusional..
Finally, a good analysis of Basketball and not just talking trash about players actually telling us what they should be doing better like closing out a little bit more ball pressure that’s the type of stuff that we need to be hearing not just saying this guy is trash that guy is trash so I loved every second of listening to this, especially as a high school basketball coach. This year my team is going to be staying away from a plan a lot of zone unless we need to do it and we’re gonna be playing in your face. Cause you can’t play good man the man without good ball pressure forcing guys in areas they don’t wanna go.
Too bad if he did every single thing this guy said in the video, he would still never make it. No coach can give you athleticism and hops. The G-League is full of d1 stars, not average high school players.
As a 5'7 " guard, i wish i had someone like you in my ear when i was hooping
When you are smaller you got to be like a mosquito, and you have to move faster and more in general. It's doable, but you got to be in much better shape than taller counterparts.
yup, its a misconception though that you cant be an elite defender if your short. In the past many undersized guys have been great defenders despite being small for their position. In fact id argue size is not the most important element of being a good defender despite popular opinion. It's actually about how good you're at being a pest and being able to move fast and have your hands everywhere, contesting everything. Giving them not an inch of seperation, breathing down their neck, also defensive awareness off the ball is vital. Regardless of size thats what makes someone an elite defender. Chris paul in his prime was a very very good defender despite being 6 ft. Patrick beverely is 6 2 but a small 6 2 and was an elite defender. What did they have in common? They were pesky. Isiah thomas contrary to what people may think was not a bad defender because he was short, he was actually simply a lazy defender if you ever watched him. Many times he would just be taking off on defense and have no energy. You have to have high energy and be pesky in order to be a great defender. Size comes secondary to that.
You have to have insane cardio. More then everyone else on the court
THIS. Such a good take; Tristian as a small guard needs to show he can defend, ALWAYS make the right passes, and then do something further that shows he’s a cut above and wows scouts.
Cool to hear how you view things from a pro detail level. And I guess the weaknesses in Jass' defensive game make sense considering he plays mostly pick up ball
As a short guard, defense and effort brings you leagues ahead.
Immediate sub, man. Great video.
I hope TJass sees it.
Hearing this analysis makes you realize just how good NBA players are. Btw, Tristan is super quick.
Great point. Defense is key if you’re shorter. As a 5’10 myself I try to smother whoever is in front of me to make up for my size
Just an old outdoor pickup player but found your insights useful. Appreciate the video Anthony!
Really good analysis and assessment
Enjoyed your analysis. I would have liked to show this to my old team (I coached). Except TH-cam didn’t exist back then - haha
Hope he sees this . Great analogy.
comment for the algo cuz I wanna see you get popular. great vid, very insightful.
Thanks homie! I really appreciate you for real!
He is at the best place he could possibly be right now. TH-cam brings in a lot of money, likely more than an overseas career for an average undersized guard.
Great breakdown!
Wow this is great constructive criticism! I hope TJass sees this.
Great analysis. The G league is not full of good basketball players. It’s full of the best “athletes” with size and length available. The idea is that they’ll teach them how to play because they have what they can’t teach. I played several years of semi pro ball as the “good to great player” that lacked the size and athleticism to take the next step. And by that, I mean at 6’4 I was the quickest and fastest guy on my team, could 360 dunk and that was just normal at the next level. It’s physically hard to comprehend unless you’ve been on the court with those kinda guys
Kids that are interested in playing college ball should watch this video to get an idea of what coaches/recruiters are actually looking at. Most kids think the only thing that matters is how many points they put up. There's a lot more going on than "buckets."
Tristan is a damn good player but bear in mind he only ever got recruited by small naia schools which isn’t a knock that’s still better than 98% of players but understand there’s levels to this game. I think he would’ve been a great D3 player if he had gone that route.
Bro is D2, Juco ready & really a D1 bench player. D3 is kinda offensive to him
@@infiniteheis Who can he stop on defense? Any 6'3'' white d3 guard would just shoot over him all day. My friend was Mr. Basketball for his state and played at Northwestern. He would have zero chance in the g-league and he started every game in the big 10 as a freshman. There are levels to this and this guy isn't even close.
@@infiniteheis that's some delusion my boy, Tristan is rec mens league ready
@@kendob9642If I'm being honest, he's not even the most talented rec league style content creator, just one of the most popular. And even the ones that come to mind, I still wouldn't bet on them making a D1 roster, much less a G-League roster.
Very well done!
Love the analysis homie. Looking forward to more.
You seem very fair. Very interesting and informative.
New Subscriber salute champ! great brake down!
If this dude wasn’t popular as a content creator, there’s no chance he could ever even get a look. A ton of guys look good in clips, in pick up and controlled environment. The reason they aren’t playing high level basketball is because they’re not good basketball players. They do not know how to play within a system. Make plays for other players. You have to know how to adapt and play a role when you aren’t primary guy. This is the only era of basketball where stuff like this is taken seriously.
Tristan is just as good as all these other players what are you talking about
He actually looks like one of the better players at those tryouts.
They have open tryouts like this to hopefully scout out any talent that slipped through the cracks of school ball. The deal is that it's an open tryout and it costs $250 to try out. There aren't many superstars that came up that way, but there's a smattering of solid NBA players that made the cut at open tryouts, notably some international players that came to the U.S. just to try out.
@@futurefox635 if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale for 9.99. Yore watching highlights dude. Even though the guy who posted showed some mistakes, I know for sure there were too many to show. This dude would never ever make an nba team or gleague. His social media following will be get him some consideration. Granted he is solid for a la fitness hooper an0d some other rec league but that’s where it stops.
@@MrMagnaniman they have open tryouts to get fees not to look for talent that’s not how it works.
@@AlphasPlayBasketball your correct. Most people dont understand that these tryouts are literally just a way for them to make money. The talented players already have seperate individual invites to practices and stuff. Sure maybe once in a million years if someone is dunking on everyones head they may invite him but chances are if he was able to do taht he would have already been known in college and not need to do this tryout for citizens.
That being said one thing i did notice about tristan is he's always killing it in his edited tapes but then he goes up against other youtubers live he's simply not performing. it's disappointing compared to his youtube videos.
The thing is, this analysis is based ONLY on the edit that Tristan provided. How many terrible plays and missed shots and turnovers got cut out?
A lot! That much is certain! Little brocolli head needs to stick to park ball
He should have modeled his defensive game after John Stockton instead of James Harden.
No way Anthony Goods from Centennial? Man I lived in MoVal and used to go to your games when I was in elementary school lol crazy
I was a bigger/slower point guard growing up - I HATED playing against quick pesky little guards! They were so dang quick and would never let you have a moment to breathe lol. I could post up on em all day though haha, but even then you gotta be careful cuz they're always swiping at the ball
😈😈😈😈
now this is a good video idea well done !!!
keep up on the vids i just subbed i love your content
Much appreciated! I will definitely keep the content coming. Thanks for watching
@@antgoods87 youre welcome
it is crazy how much better the worst NBA player is than people think
4:57 clear foul
Cant wait how in two years u gonna be scouting me
You got this bro
Basketball is a discriminatory sport, and you have to be a pest to make it on that level if you're smaller. Facu and Alvarado were great examples, and I'm a bit older so I think a lot of how amazing Earl Boykins was at his height as well. You need to be faster, and be a great offensive weapon to counter the defense liability that you will be, to justify being on the floor. It's tough!
It's not discriminatory. If you are a liability your Team will loose most likely and thats your responsibilty. same goes for a tall guy that is slow or lacks as an interior defender.
@@Schorsch5 Yes but it generally favors taller people. If you're tall, you have a higher chance to make it as a pro, and that's a fact.
@@Schorsch5Discriminatory because if you see two people you’ll tend to favour the taller one all things being equal and in a lot of cases even if the shorter one is better skilled. Height is a prerequisite. So that automatically removes a lot of people. You rarely see guys below 6ft on professional teams. There’s a reason.
Sub 6ft nba players are the greatest athletes on earth. No one comes close.
All sports are "discriminatory" against people who are bad at them, as they should be, as all of life should be in every arena.
That was a great analysis, respect. Would love to see your takes on other youtube hoopers. 👌🏿
I’ll have some of that on the way. Which TH-cam hoopers do you think would be good to evaluate?
@@antgoods87 Man, I don't know if you comment on 1v1 players, but I would say all them well known 1v1 cats. Nas, Friga, Nesco, Scoob, Hezi, Rob, Dev. Maybe some of the lesser known ones like Marthreenez and the I'm 40 guy, lol.
@@antgoods87 Marthreenez, Hezi, white Iverson, Devonte Friga
Good take 💯
Great breakdown but esentially saying what we all already know. Great offensive player, undersized defensive liability. And at the higher level like actual G League, being undersized will hurt him. We saw what happened that 1 play when a bigger stronger defensive played him aggresively, that will be extremely hard for Tristan to deal with offensively.
At 5"9 and 150 Ibs you gotta bring something that stands out. You gotta raise some eyebrows. He can hoop. At least at the park. Lol. Seriously though. He can ball. He's a little stiff on defense. I played solid defense in my younger days. I always kept my feet moving and my hand out as to dictate which way the opponent was gon move. If he somehow made it to the NBA he would definitely be on the bench and would have to become some kind of 3 point specialist..Main thing though is he has a opportunity to live out his dream. Thanks for update and video ❤
he said "switch it" aka he was switching guys so no he was not giving to much gap at 4:02 he was telling the other guy to come in.
I loved the video honestly, I'd love to ask you what would you love to see from an undersized power forward
Love the Tiger hat!
Thanks man!! Tiger is the man
He has some nice vision, handle, scoring ability but you called it on the D. He needs to watch some muggsy bogues clips
OMM at 40 I’m still giving him work.
I have to keep that in my mind that I have to be a pesky defender. Thanks scout ranger!
I think he had some easier passes/drop-offs once his defender committed. More about getting your teammates involved.
5’9 150….im 5’9 180 lol! If I wasn’t 36 yrs old I’d definitely try out
5'9" 150 lbs................ 💀💀
?
@@zeroo. Tiny.
@@figuredrawing4912 not everyone gotta be big
@@zeroo. Tell that to the ACTUAL players in the G-League and NBA...... Anyway, in this video, Jass showed HORRIBLE defense. FOr his size.....he has to SHADOW defenders...all the time. Harass harass harass. He can't because he's too slow footed.
@@figuredrawing4912 brother, it's for content. tristan isn't actually trying to be a player in the G league. stop taking everything so seriously.
Nice video... I learned a lot
Great analysis. Re: your comment about his size being a liability, I'm curious do you think ideally a guy with his frame should put on maybe 10-15 pounds to compensate for the likely height mismatch? I read somewhere he's listed at 150 currently, and I feel like the slimmest PGs in the nba will still be 170+ right?
I feel like he needs to be built like FVV to be able to create space around bigger guys
He isn't and will never be good enough to join the g-league. Get that through your head.
Physically, he needs much more than that. If he's serious about this, he'll need Steph Curry levels of work ethic just to make the G-League before he's 30.
He’s a trick shot guy
Imo this wasn’t a real tryout. It was a community event just to be nice . Highly doubt anyone gets to make the gleague roster
Tristan can actually hoop.
The problem is he's not elite at anything at his size.
WOULD LOVE A VID LIKE THIS ON CAMPAZZO, ALVARADO, OR EVEN CELTICS ISAIAH THOMAS🙏🏾🙏🏾GREAT VID & ANALYSIS WE NEED MORE LIKE THIS💯
Just released a little something of Jose and some other small guards from last season
@@antgoods87 can you also make a video like this on how great offensive small guards (trae young, ish smith, kemba) attack and score against pro defenses? I had a college workout yesterday and even though I stood out defensively, I was still getting pressured into tovs and a little flustered on offense if a good defender was on me and I wasn't open enough to catch and shoot (which wasn't good for an offense that relied on me to score).
This man waff literally everywhere lol
You want him to close that space in a transition fast break?!
Tristan’s face pisses me off idk why lmfao
Me too.
Hahaha. Facts
Racist
@@kendob9642 Youre an absolute idiot for even thinking this
I don't like how cocky he is. Face doesn't bother me but he talks too much shit, pretty much a taller and not as annoying Julian Newman
Fire video bro
Thanks for watching bro!
@@antgoods87 absolutely. Just subbed too. Lookin forward to future posts. Have a blessed day 🙏🏽
Tristan is like 5'6" and plays no defense, wouldnt even start on a decent high school team, tf we talking about
At that height in the league, you have to be exceptional! He can definitely create his only shot, but he’s a defensive liability and a bit of a ball hog. He could possibly play overseas, but not NBA!
Nah the playstyle is even less suitable overseas. Same priniciples apply here if u are a small guard, you got to be a pest in defense even more so than in america
He couldn’t create his own shot in a pro league. Only against regular joes.
@@ericburton1244isn’t that was they said about Steph curry he too smalll a defensive liability and th only good defense dive point gu add is Chris Paul and jrue holiday
@@Goatfan2kyes and they were right for the most part. Steph wouldn’t be in the league if he wasn’t the best shooter to ever play and also as quick as he is. Those are the two things that keep him in the league cause he doesn’t do anything else as a great level.
He’s also 6’2-6’4, so that’s kind of small for NBA, sure, but there’s a massive difference between being 6’2+ and being 5’8-5’9 like Tristan is
@@YouReallyDontKnow true but what matter is the type of value you bring as long as you bring some type of value to the team they can work with those weaknesses especially on Tristian has get acces to nba alike training regime
new subscriber❤️
Much appreciated!!
Defense is coachable...good luck to TJ
Gabe Itch is looking strong this year. Might make an NBA roster. Please do a vid on him
Or wnba
Yeah he got to play like Patrick Beverley or Muggsy bogues on defense. Then he can become a pro. He needs to do a lot more running to be able to do that.
I am honestly shocked at the low level of competition here... like some of these guys look like they can barely shoot or dribble. Is this normal for G-league tryouts? I see better players at random pickup.
I'm more interested in the dude getting the steal and the dunks.
I like your review. But I think you forgot to give credit for filling his missed free throw getting the rebound. That some hustle you don’t see 99% of the time. You made good points. But for someone who didn’t play much college. I think he did pretty well. You know better as your a scout. I agree with your point of view. Just that one you didn’t say anything about. You get a new sub for sure. I think if he sees this. He will improve right away.
Good point about his hustle. And i think he did pretty well too. Excited to see where his career goes from here. Thanks for the sub! It is much appreciated and I hope to keep supplying quality content
@@antgoods87 wow. You read it. And replied. That’s says a lot about your channel and you. That’s usually how i scout what TH-cam channels I sub too. But you have a rather good review of his video. Was he perfect, no. But I think he did fairly well. For not having much organized basketball history. I copied your your video and left it as a comment. Because I want him to get better. Not to make any drama. Cause I know his type. He will improve. There are a lot of guys at that tryout that would break or not care about your review. Tristan if he sees it will get better. No doubt in my mind.
@@antgoods87 nice video about myths and facts about being a scout. I know I’d like that job.
As an actual basketball coach, here are my quick observations:
(1) I question this "tryout". I wonder what level these guys as a whole played at, because tsome of them look like they played fraternity intramurals. They all play lazy, make critical mistakes on both ends, and are not polished players like you would expect from guys trying to become pros.
(2) Jass is a good player for a pickup game, but let's get real. He cannot guard anyone, stands around, doesn't rotate. I played overseas and this guy would get eaten alive. Offensively he made some nice moves, but again, this looks like pickup ball.
(3) I am 55, and I would probably hold my own against these guys... Should I 'tryout'???
would appreciate your take on Kai Sotto
Nice pull up game, nice handles. No point guard instincts, mediocre passing, no defense.
5:35 fucking guy throws his shoulder into someone that isn't even looking
You really scout for the league? How Bronny James slither into the league??? If Bronny can make it then Jass can definitely make it and get a contract double or triple of Bronnys money.
Tristan doesn’t ever even try to play defense, pretty frustrating to watch!
There's a reason why all these Basketball "influencers" are like 5'6"... 🤣
Man he’s probably an average player at a quiet LA fitness at best
0:51 Ex JC player & JC assistant coach here. If you can’t gaurd you can’t play! PERIOD
Defense is a lost art.
He does looks a bit laxed on defense. Not enough focus on footwork and like you said. Ball pressure. He’s small. Closer to the floor and ball. He should be team leader in steals. His offensive ability can translate over if he focuses on defense in practice and with guidance.
Zero chance he does well offensively
@@KyleHurd I didn’t say he was a huge threat. But with experience I can see him as a John Stockton archetype. He doesn’t need to be great to be useful. He’s got potential but clearly has work to do. Respect. He’s out there and we aren’t.
good video
He doesnt have that dog in him to compete physically. Skills can only go so far as a "small guy"
IT
I don’t think it’s a lack of “that dog” in him, but his lack of organized basketball repetition. He plays like he is at the park. You heard him in the video trying to adjust to organized play, but he could really use someone like this dude to help him address the issues.
@@typg9397 organized ball doesn't create aggressiveness. It's in people naturally or it's something developed from a child always having to go up against bigger guys and trying to hang with them.
@@mjgfromDDD I don’t know what you’re watching then lmao. He played pretty aggressive. He simply didn’t put in the kind of effort required for organized ball at his size as the scout said. That’s not normal for pick up.
@@typg9397 I'm watching the same video you watching. He played aggressive but with not enough effort, that doesn't make sense but all in all, he made a good career in youtube so he should stick to what works for him in the long run.
Honest question, why would he ball pressure baiting a drive when your D isn’t back and set to help? The opposing team just came off a block. Am I wrong in saying that’s not logical and his choice to stop the ball and drive is the right choice.
ur right but his point is he should try to stand out on defense especially because of his size, he's only 5'8. For him to prove hes not a defensive liability he has to do extra unfortunately
You’re making a good point if you’re trying to win a game. I think his objective is to try to win the “eye” of the evaluators. From an evaluation standpoint it would be better if he pressured and then if defensive wasn’t set behind him then it looks bad on them unless he got beat point blank off the dribble. Playing it safe gets you nowhere when you’re 5’9. If he doesn’t pressure now there wouldn’t be reason for me to expect him to pressure naturally/consistently when he gets on a team. Hope this makes sense. Love this discussion
Based on this analysis, I’m G-League material
What exactly did you hear? 😂😂😂
can an agresseive shooter and defender thats less that 6ft reach the big leagues?
Interesting
T doesn't play Defense. Ive always said this to him.
Can you do cooper flagg
Jass is a good player but he knows he not nba material .. let’s be real
