    I think the biggest thing that stumped Julian Newman's development as a true PG that could play at the collegiate level was his father. Taking him out of a normal high school, making an entire school dedicated to just give Julian a platform for national attention, and also being his coach. I believe if Julian Newman played for a different head coach in his last couple of years playing Varsity HS basketball he would've learned and adapted to be a real PG, not the abomination his father yelled at him to be on the court.

      High School situation and hype aside, his dad didn't teach him fundamentals or the right skills. He taught him to be a dribble merchant

      He lacked size and athleticism. Beingin a true pg was next to impossible bc he's too small to get the ball around bigger defenders.

      @@BennyTherat I've seen just about every Julian Newman lowlights video ever made on TH-cam, every time he had a lowlight he could beat majority of defenders off the dribble but would choose to try to finish in the paint 1 on 3 or take a stutpid contested shot from deep, almost every lowlight play could've been a highlight play if he chose to pass the ball to a wide-open teammate since he always drew so much attention attacking. Julian had the speed to overcome the lack of size, but his fixation on scoring over playmaking for others is what turned all those potential highlights into lowlights. Also, he had the speed to blow past most defenders but had a fixation on chasing highlights and too much fancy dribbling.
      THAT is a product of coaching, or lack there of. A good coach would've hammered the mentality to take what the defense gives, make more plays for others, focus on using dribble combinations of no more than 3 dribbles to get past defenders, and opening up Julian's mind to mid-range stepbacks vs. deep-range stepbacks that he didn't have the upper & lower body strength to pull off. These simple tweaks to Julian's game easily would've made him a highly sought after player that D-3 and D-2 colleges, and maybe a handful of D-1 schools would've wanted in their programs.

      Exactly just to set him up with the same issue which is mainly their height. Just got to be realistic, but the upside is they definitely made bank off him and his families popularity, so they got something out of it at least. There are worst situations in life to be in.

    He had a lot going against him. His dad made every team he coached about Julian. That kind of nepotism created Julian’s ego, which made coaches believe he’s uncoachable. His game really didn’t evolve past trying to be a highlight reel. And unfortunately his height didn’t help either. His dad stunted his growth.

      It’s not really the fact that u were never meant to be a basketball player it’s just that being taller and longer makes everything so much easier so you would have to train harder and be much better compared to ur peers who might not even put in half the work but still be better.

    I am seeing this same scenario play out in front of me on a smaller scale. A kid miles ahead of others at a young age. Dad starts a team to try to create a better environment for his son, the team becomes an academy. Dad talks about college ball before the kid starts middle school. At first the Dad's team is helpful, then it becomes a crutch when other kids catch up in skills and exceed in height. The Dad's team focuses on the kid, he learns to be selfish and only play one way. The other teams start benching the kid, the family makes a ton of reasons other than the obvious, (he has been eclipsed), so he only plays for the Dad's team. Growth stunted, dream dead.
    BTW, to all short parents, your kids will not be tall, so a career in basketball is not for them - try soccer (the greatest players that ever lived were not tall).

      I've been using my wife's face soap to wash my ass for months. I swear to god this was an accident. My wife bought a bar of soap that looked somewhat nice about a year ago. It stayed in our shower for months and never seemed to be getting smaller.
      About 6 months ago my soap bar ran out and I decided to use her fancy bar. It never seemed to get smaller so I figured it was just there a show soap or something. To be looked at but never touched. I decided that that bar of soap was now my ball sack and ass cleaner. For months I used this poor bar to clean the sweat and grime off my unspeakables. I was happy.
      But it all came crashing down today. I was brushing my teeth and I saw that same soap bar being lathered all over my wife's face. I felt like vomiting but had to hide it fast. I gave her a lame thumbs up and smiled. She probably thought I was a dumbass.
      Anyways I will take this to my grave because my wife would murder me if she ever found out. Hopefully it stays that way.

    He had potential, not for the NBA of course but if he had developed his game better he would now be playing for some team and not almost retired like now. His problem was that he never had a real coach (not his father) to show him the true path and guide him. He was always more focused on seeking personal highlights rather than teamwork, in addition to not managing the ego of being the star of social media.

    As someone who played rugby in school (where size is a huge factor) this concept of thinking little kids will have careers as athletes just because they show early capability at a sport is just a sad delusion. Around 12-13 I was relatively big for my peers - I managed to get selected for the provincial team, and I believed i would be able to go pro. Fast forward 5 years, and I didn’t even make the cut for my schools C-team. Sports can be a crushing dream.
    Edit:
    I’d just like the clarify that I am not saying that smaller athletes can’t make it big. I know thousands of stories of guys that were counted out because of the size, only to silence their critics. HOWEVER, if you are physically disadvantaged you have to compensate by being really exceptional in other areas. And even then, physicality can trump all of it.
    Think of lebron vs kyrie. No one would disagree that lebron is the better player. But no one would say that lebron is faster, more agile, more skilled, or a better shooter than Kyrie. Heck Kyrie is the best i nso many categories. But the size difference creates such a huge advantage that despite being better in many important categories, Kyrie is still not the better player.

    The problems i see with so many of these "child sports prodigies" is that there fathers/mothers are living through them. Another thing is that you never know when they have peaked. So many have reached the peak of their talents far sooner than their peers and then just flatten out while some of their peers continue to grow both physically and athletcally. I remeber seeing Blaze Jordan hitting 500ft homers at 13, but now he has been a fairly pedestrian minor leaguer. The child prodigy becoming a star pro is a rare thing.

    He isn't good enough for the NCAA, let alone the NBA. He probably wouldn't even make it in foreign leagues because he doesn't have fundamentals, has bad genetics for the sport, and doesn't seem to be coachable as he is now. Sucks that he was set up to fail so badly.

    I think he can still change his play style and improve. He just gotta learn some skills like how to create contact, extension lay ups, passing skills, diff type of finishes, step backs l, fade aways, off ball plays, perfecting his jumpshot and he gotta change his mindset of dribbling too much and trying to be flashy.

    I feel like he could’ve been something if one thing, he passed more because in those Highschool games when he drove in like that all 5 of the other team’s players came to block him if he passed in situations like that he would get double guarded a lot less

    His dad is a discount LaVar Ball. He’s not going to the NBA. If he wants to keep balling for a living he can try the Globetrotters or he can work on his handles and make a channel kinda like The Professor. Either way, despite how I personally feel about his attitude and personality, I wish him the best.

    Less is generally more when it comes to handles.
    If you're gunna size up your match up and pull 7 or 8 dribble moves before the drive, they're on to you.
    I noticed in a lot of the included clips he didn't/barely had his man beat before driving to the paint. His man is still up in his face to contest and the D picks up the easy block/rebound.
    Same on the long ball. He pulls off so many moves that the D starts to be able to read it and stay tight for the easy contest from downtown.
    Yeah...dribble moves look good for the cameras, but they look even better when you're actually cooking defenders and breaking ankles. Not spamming your dribble package like you're in 2k.

  • @darklord9581

    He could have been good if they focused more on his passing in his last years since he didn’t grow taller. I feel like he could have been a super quick flashy passing guard like Nash, Kidd and Jason Williams if they focused on that. It also would have help to get better openings on the court for him to actually shoot and score. I feel like he could have at least avg 12bpts with 15ats if coached correctly.
