Arizona Wildcats guard Nico Mannion sits down with ESPN NBA draft analyst Mike Schmitz to break down film on his court vision (1:44), passes off the dribble (5:08), ability to find angles (8:27), change-of-pace moves (10:24), finesse finishes (13:44), off-ball impact (15:18), ballhandler pressure (15:57), pick-and-roll defense (18:56), closeouts (19:57) and defensive IQ (21:54).
SD Fishin well they have a lot to sample from such as the Nike Hoop Summits, McDonald’s all American games, Aau, High school, and now college so it’s just cool to see there growth as players
Amazing in depth interview not just showcasing highlights but talking about improvements and why certain plays are the right play even if they don’t make a highlight real
I went to Horizon and he’d always kill us😂 but idc if he went to the rival school I’m still supporting him when he gets drafted cuz he’s representing AZ
Arizona is one of the best teams in the country by far. Nico Mannion, Josh Green, Zeke Nnaji, 3 players who could take over the game at any given time. Don't let the wildcats' grueling schedule fool you.
the floater is fool's gold for alot of guards. it's such a hard shot to master. sneaky athletic is just a term used for people who are more athletic than they look. People will rely on past data and historically, players who looked like him aren't athletic by nba standards. It's not a diss
I hope they do breakdown at the end of the college season, but I doubt the top college prospects have time. One of the reason is they will be preparing for the draft the whole time.
As a Suns fan I would like to think that the Suns would go for him as they should, he's got good instincts on the court, quick trigger with a nice arch and long range, quick hands on defense and just an overall high IQ Basketball player, the Suns can't go wrong with Nico and he's right there in their backyard!!
if mannion had better length /height/size he would be higher on draft boards, he has great iq, awareness; wonderful timing and placement on his passes..the prob is w/his rather avg tangibles he has to work alot harder to find passing lanes and find guys running/coming open
David Vega yah he had offers from Duke and Villanova and a few other schools as well but he chose Arizona cause ever since he moved her from Italy he’s lived in Arizona and he wanted to play for where he lives which is cool in my opinion
He is not ready for NBA players. When I saw him play against Baylor and Gonzaga he looked lost and got bullied around. He needs to stay a couple of years in college

Interviewer does an incredible job here
Mike Smhitz is the GOAT
very well prepared
Elite level interviewer. Didn’t kiss up to Nico, asked valid questions, etc.
Beckett Leather Goods He gave him a lot of constructive criticism and didn’t feel awkward at all.
Let’s get this guy interviewing more players.
He interviewed melo and rj already. Hopefully he'll interview more of the top prospects.
@@Hooderaw hes like Marty for CBB
He's a top ESPN NBA scout
@@skrxxet7845 He's been putting out the best NBA Mock Drafts for years
1000%
Dawg I’m so glad espn got this guy his breakdowns and these interviews have been dope
SD Fishin well they have a lot to sample from such as the Nike Hoop Summits, McDonald’s all American games, Aau, High school, and now college so it’s just cool to see there growth as players
SD Fishin u can tell 3 games most of the time. U could tell lebron in 1.
These breakdowns are the best thing coming out of ESPN right now. Love the interviewer get this guy on tv more.
Kid is gonna be the truth, nice handle, smooth finish, has 3pt range. Great for the Caucasian brand.
Condo w
Condo lol brand
jamesbriggstown you can have many good Caucasian player no everybody is supposed to be Luka.... 🤦🏾♂️
Condo Weird how white people always say stuff like this, they act like white athletes don’t exist.
Lol
Amazing in depth interview not just showcasing highlights but talking about improvements and why certain plays are the right play even if they don’t make a highlight real
went to highschool with this guy, he was a freshman when I was senior. Crazy to see him grown up
Class of 2016?
Dam I was a senior when you were a freshman at pinnacle then lol
I went to Horizon and he’d always kill us😂 but idc if he went to the rival school I’m still supporting him when he gets drafted cuz he’s representing AZ
Alright.... Bare with me... Why does he at the same time look like a baller, but not .... At the same time...
His face or forehead up close makes him look... um
Reminds me a lot of Jamal Murray’s game, if he can keep improving on his finishing, handling, shooting, he’s gonna be a problemmm
9:06 Who would’ve thought Nico & James Wiseman Together on the Golden State Warriors.
I can't for to see this young baller to be drafted into the NBA in 2020, which's next year as I'm excited about it
@@aidanbensonofficial7842 , thank you
Little did u know he was preparing to play with Wiseman at the Next level..lol funny how things play out 🙌🏾
He looks like a ginger version of every 2k point guard ever.
Wow. really good breakdown.
That floater was a good shot tho, can’t expect him to be looking behind him for the three either
Kaden Shannon my exact thought process, that was a good fundamental shot. He just happened to miss it
9:08 "you're gonna see guys like james wiseman, 7'1, 250 lbs, 7'6 wingspan, in the nba"
yeah, on his own team lol
he came in going crazy 💯❗️
mike is so good at breaking down film
Slim Jesus is a hoop star too? Man talk about talent 🤣🤣🤣
Xavier Miranda bruh. 🤣🤣

Spero faccia bene🇮🇹
Grandpa lives Mesa watched you n spencer ball out @ pennical !! Keep balling
extremely underrated prospect

Johnny sins has a big basketball mind
Great memory. Good decision making.
This interviewer is awesome.
Scumpii plays ball?
oh nooo
He’s one of the smartest players going into this years draft 🏀🔥
Optic Scumper done Grew up 😂

Not to mention he can learn well from Ricky Rubio.
I'm a christian, I go to church
LMAO
if mannion had better length /height/size he would be higher on draft boards, he has great iq, awareness; wonderful timing and placement on his passes..the prob is w/his rather avg tangibles he has to work alot harder to find passing lanes and find guys running/coming open
New York, San Antonio, Phoenix, Washington, and Detroit are decent fits for Nico
Yes I know you're here coz warriors drafted him.
Star in the making. Lots of gms will regret not taking him
Nico looks like Mike Rappaport's son having the Scalabrine's White Mamba Skills and the Hairstyle!
More of these pls
since when did carrrot top play Basketball
If Sideshow Bob chose basketball instead of comedy
The 1 chair separation is lowkey weird
Balihar Singh lol right?
I live in Tucson I gotta meet him before he gets drafted
Thats italian blood fellas
He will be a sleeper in the draft 20
I could believe that.
You were right bro
GSW LET'S GOOO
best point guard in college ✊🏽❤️
So I'm the only warrior fan here ?
Here after he's a Warrior. Maybe more minutes if Klay is injured?
Pg mannion sg barrett sf Ingraham pf randle c robinson possible Knicks lineup....I might be reaching but dream big right lol
Mannion Who?
Warriors! We've got a steal!
Nico > Cole 💯💯💯
*Next yr draft class will be better than this yr draft class, deep wise..*
Nico to suns 😎 be great fit
Francisco Gutierrez Sounds nice but I’m not too sure about that one. They just signed Rubio and drafted Lecque this summer
Ah lecque is undrafted
Ah also got Jevon Carter in a trade, Suns have THREE PGs already
Draft nico be rubio back up his rookie year and a year after trade rubio nico be a great fit with Dbook
Francisco Gutierrez Nico and DBook 😱no defense for Suns, like the Warriors this season.
At 17:08 he said “no duh” 😂
Outbxrst lollll Nahh he said “no doubt”😂
He's got some Cheetos flavored hair
Jakeybabes facts
Why is there a gap between them 🤨 does Nico not like Mike?
fun fact i literally almost walked straight into him at one of the football games and i’ll never forget it
Did you apologize
He’s probably going to the Lakers
He looks like Landry shamet
blonde version of landry haha
I thought he was albino😂😂😂
No never thought that stop
Do we have to dip race in everything 🤔
His voice reminds me of Jessy from Breaking bad
And the warriors just found a gem in the late second round. Steal of the draft!
Woody Harrelson Jr. in White Men can Jump 2
It doesn't sound like he spent much time is Italy.
Is it just me or is schmitz getting kinda swoll
He could have gone anywhere
David Vega yah he had offers from Duke and Villanova and a few other schools as well but he chose Arizona cause ever since he moved her from Italy he’s lived in Arizona and he wanted to play for where he lives which is cool in my opinion
Chase Budinger Lil Brother
Lol facts
So y’all can profit off his likeness but my g can’t make a dollar of this video?
Scump is playing basketball now ?
Nico Mannion to Phoenix Suns...
I lowkey think the knicks should draft this kid he's gonna be a prob
DreholidayNYC Knicks ruin everybody, he’d work well in Toronto
Mick Funny the raptors can’t draft him unless he falls from his current projected draft position
So no one is going to mention the interviewer forgetting to shave the hair at the back of his head!
That’s his shadow ....
So no one gonna mention you're judging another guy on his appearance lol..seems suspect
A face only a momma could love
I cant see his hairline
Nothing truly special at the next level from what i see, personally I think McClung is way better.
Goran Dragic comparison
Orangeface baby
Aghhhhhhhh what is that freak of nature.... a mutant.... kill it kill it..... 😲
76ers DRAFT HIM PLEASE
how is nico not pissed
He got paid under the table
Al Spider-Man Horford receipts 🧾 or it didn’t happen
Hope he falls to pick 27 where Knicks can take him. Will light up the garden on nights he is hot!
Ig : Jamon.96 😏😏
Scump quit cod to hoop ?
Is that carrothead's son?
Hype makes me sick
#02588 #02588 don’t hate on 🥕 top
Mick Funny no hate on him I just wish they wait until something accomplished like the old days
CarrotTop
How tall is bruh?
6'3
@@philipn832 solid solid. He gonna b valid.
his hair is so ORANGE
Might be the ugliest dude I’ve ever seen... but good for him
Quit judging dudes sus boy
He gon get money regardless
He is not ready for NBA players. When I saw him play against Baylor and Gonzaga he looked lost and got bullied around. He needs to stay a couple of years in college
Billy Miller if he goes in the 2020 draft, he will spend a lot of time in the G League, but earning NBA money.
