When you thought you were good enough to play college but you just sit down after watching this video.
I swear bro 😂
+Zepp Dude 33 Don't feel bad. This kid is gonna be an NBA baller.
@@hannibalcarthage7426you was right 💯
These young guys are the truth, if they stay grounded and respect their parents and others and most important their books sky is the limit
***** he means that when you are great at something people look up to you. staying humble will set a good example for anyone who might be looking up to you or idolizing you. Even if that may not come in high school. so he does have a very valid point.
well shit that boi made the league and as a clips fan im telling u HES real nice
@@user-cr8wo6vi8whe’s with Memphis now
Luke is explosive, persistent, and fundamentally professional when he plays....I got that all from the video. this guys can play!
LOL! Pause @ 0:51 Dude in the blue hoodie looking at him like "Bruh, how he going to DUKE and I'm not?!?!?" LOL!
Hell yeah lol
I'm not trying to be that guy but if he does make it to the nba the best he will do is become a straight shooter like dunleavy and corner. Not trying to be racist but it's extremely hard for whites to become superstars or big names in the league if you're under 6-10 and taller than 6'4. Either gotta be a pg,pf or center in order to be a superstar in the league as a white male. Black athletes are just way to dominant in basketball at the pro level due to their gene pool. Think of a white superstar in this era that's between 6'4-6'9. Solid role player at best:( sorry but thats just how it is. No disrespect just facts
there are no facts in any of the statements you just made..
That was all facts man. Think of a white superstar or allstar in the nba in this new era of basketball that is under 6'10...the only way is if they make it as a powerforward or center and that's still rare, unless you're Kevin Love.
Only really know white players are Larry Bird and Kevin Love
chandler parsons
Rare exception because he happens to be blessed with the speed and agility of these black players. Notice how he's the only exception to the rule you feel me? As the league becomes more fast paced over the years the # of whites will diminish. Look how many white players were there in the 60,70's and watch how the # has declined over the decades. The same thing is happening in football also if you aren't a qb,kicker,punter,lineman then the chances are slim you will make it into the nfl as a skill position athlete wr,db especially at the cornerback position. Can you remember the last white corner in the nfl? I hate to make it a race thing but this is what i've noticed over the years
you can tell that he's a born shooter as soon as that ball leaves his hands... nice...
theres no such thing as a born shooter. babies dont come out with a followthrough or form. give credit to his family and coaches for his amazing shot
Why you gotta take it so literally alphadude? Lol we all know what he means by "born shooter"
alphadude159 no I dont want to give his family any credit or his coaches... it was his own hard work that got him that form... were you serious about your respond or were you just trolling?
I like his body language while he's dribble and his footwork. He looks so focused and precise.
Will be a solid 4 year player for duke.
*2*
Clean lefty..good court vision..can play the 1 or 2 guard position..50/50 on passing and scoring! Perfect for duke!
Kennard is literally a lefty version of Jon Scheyer. Tremendous fundamentals, bball IQ, and solid overall basketball player who plays hard. He'll be a very good 4 year player for Duke no doubt. The kid can ball man period.
2 year.
@@taykeith9179 Bad decision but he'll be a long time pro.
So he is gonna have a solid 4 year career at Duke, get drafted in 2cd round , not get signed by NBA team play in Europe for a while then come back and be be on coaching staff for Duke or something.
Think I got this down to an art now...
Sad but likely true
He is definitely going to the NBA--he looks a little goofy/unathletic but his game is on point
***** no
+ maybe a championship or 2..no big deal
+wikisaiyangmail depressing but true...
Kennard AVERAGED 40 points, 10.4 rebounds, four assists and two steals
DAMN
Very ambidextrous, a quick pull up jumper, always working hard.
These are all good things.
this guy has had duke written all over since i saw hime
He's got great game and also your adding a 5 star coach to help him grow and get even better skill coach k is just making stars
#DUKE
Expect 5-6 dislikes because he's white
Now 7 smh
I'm black I'm from Englewood chicago he good for a white boy and white chocolate is too
Kevon Wesley What do you mean "for a white boy" lol. He's better than most black high school players. Dude averaged 40 points and 10 boards...
Oh most black kids selfish
Heres to 10 smh
The beat definitely out shined the highlight on this one
:42 , you're right there ref, he hops over and goes lol
Lol i saw that too. Blind refs :D
It's called a jab step...
It's called travel if you move two steps without putting down the ball pal, thanks for trying to be smooth with your comment
Robbie Shaw I wasn't trying to be "smooth". It wasn't a travel idiot
Alkemize Video evidence of him moving both of his feet before dribbling is right in front of you and you're calling me an idiot..
that dude at the end tried to act like he didn't get banged on lol.
1 of the first legit players ive seen here. alot of them r just walking highlight reels
That's a bad thing?! It's a mixtape dude, most of those highlight reel guys have intangibles other than dunking and dribbling. Otherwise they wouldn't be scouted..
white boy cold
My cousin is going to be a STRONG player at Duke!!! He is going to be America's kid in the college basketball scene! :)
Go Luke Franklin all the way
What a beast!
He's a decent player but i think this reel makes him look better than what he actually is
And how so?
+Cjs 2580 Maybe because he's not playing against college talent. He won't average 40 in college. Who knows if he will be a good player though. I think he could make the NBA, but I don't think he'll be a star just from the looks of it, because I've seen videos of Kobe, D Wade, LeBron, D Rose, guys like that in college, and they just seem to have a more aggressive flare, but maybe this guy could be like a sharpshooting, left handed guard that could drive too.
+Jared Wilson Neither Kobe nor Lebron played in college plus this guy surpassed lebron's high school scoring record. He just had a breakout game with Duke, maybe we should just tip our hats to the kid. He surely can ball
Excellent formation😄👍👍
Kid can finish through contact very nicely and can shoot the three... any level will take you if you can put the ball in the net. Guys like Kyle Korver and Mike Miller in the NBA, and Phil Forte in college do the same thing as this kid is doing now. There's always room on teams for kids like this
Rodney Hood with a right hand and without the athletism
This kid is more fundamentally sound than those other guys that i see that over dribble and make ill advised flashy passes just to get the highlights.
Crazy Luke is now balling on the clippers
Fundementals are outstanding
Ok let's see. Great court vision, ridiculous shooting, top quality finishing at the rim, he can block and dunk and from the starting intro, it seems as though he has good co-ordination with his teammates. So now I ask a question, what's wrong with him?
Most white boys are not athletic
He's a decent athlete at best. Athleticism isn't everything, but if you want to be an all star or superstar in the NBA, you almost have to be a good athlete. The power forward and the center position don't require good athleticism to be great, but he's a shooting guard. I think he can make it, but I don't see him being a star.
DeSeanBBN Manu Ginobli? He's a 2 guard who isn't really all that athletic, and I see that same player in this kid. He's not the greatest athlete, but he doesn't need to be, if he keeps improving that is.
DeSeanBBN Anybody that can dunk with both hands over decent competition is more than just an average athlete. He won't blow by anybody or out rebound Kevin Love but he's got decent speed and quickness with above average leaping ability. He shoots well and he has good ball handling skills. I won't say he'll be a superstar because none of us can predict that but he reminds me a lot of Nik Stauskas and Gordan Hayward. They are both emerging stars in the NBA. So saying that he isn't athletic and won't be great, that isn't true. Larry Bird was a below average athlete and he is one of the greats.
William Radler so anyone that can dunk with both hands is a better than average athlete? I disagree. I've seen Kyle Witljer dunk with both hands, he is definitely not an average athlete. For the HS level, Kennard is an above average athlete. In college and in the NBA, he will see many players that will make him look like an average athlete at best. I'm not saying he won't make it to the NBA. However, he is no Larry Bird. I know you're not saying that he's the next coming of Bird, but the problem is Kennard and Bird play 2 different positions. Forwards can get by and be elite without athleticism. Elite SGs have to be good athletes. You're right, Bird wasn't a great athlete, but he was a smart, tough player with an all around game. He was also 6'9. Kennard is a 6'5 SG. If anything, he'll be another JJ Redick. Redick is solid, but he isn't HOF bound.
I see like a smaller Klay Thompson maybe if he develops his shot & driving skills more has lots of potential I think if anyone coach K can bring it out good luck Luke. #DukeRepeat2016 🏀🔥💯✔️
What do you mean shooting he is already a sharp shooter
he doesn't even look 6'5", but its funny how he gets big on the guys that think they're locking him up
He has a receding hair line. He'll be rocking the old man horseshoe 'do by the time he's a senior at Duke.
He's going be great watch
Hands down this kid is legit
I always go back to the videos that was uploaded by ballislife and see if the person that they record or put in the video went to the NBA
quick release like rayallen, this guy is going to be really good
for real! he has better form on his shot compared to most high school basketball players.
balling in the nba now
All he needs to do is bulk up and have a quicker release. Solid player! Not the fastest but his handles and understanding of angles help him get around players.
Coach K wanted him, I think he knows how to pick a squad. Has anybody seen Dukes incoming class? Crazy talented and Luke fits in that group just fine. All this talk about race is stupid, and people saying that he wont last in the NBA and will come back to Duke to be on the staff...why hate on him? Its pathetic when people hate on 18 year old kids, he has a brighter future than anyone that's on here hating on him. FACT.
He got skillsss
That put back at the end was an obvious goal tend. Or are AAU rules different?
What happened with the Wisconsin United game? No footage of that..?
Beast
gonna be a great fit at duke!! I he kinda reminds me of ryan kelly
aye the US National Basketball Coach was ther
dude looks like he is 40 years old
Impressive wingspan of 6'3."
james lachs lol
james lachs 6'5 😁
Goat
Reminds me of Kyle Singular a past Duke guy on the Pistons, but this guy have better play making skills.
Doesn't matter what anyone thinks he is, because he is a 5 star player... He averaged 40 points!!..... 40!!!! I dont care who you if you average 40 points you are def 5 start player
He averaged 40 points?? That's insane!
he's good.whats the name of this song on his highlights
Dude will have success in Coach K's system, no doubt he can play. BUT his career goes across the pond or below the border after that.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm the 301+ viewer,
And so are u,
swear this kid was a 4 star for forever , then once he commited to duke they bumped him up
He's good. Gonna have to hit the weights to play ACC ball though
His face at 51 sec looks like Stanley Johnson's face
I once posted up on this guy and threw down HARD!! (i am only 5'6 btw). I dunked so hard black -and- white people from the crowd came down on the court and start schmoney dancing
man shut the fuck up
dog i remember that shit u made him look like a little bitch
I was there xD
VideoTronism wait that was you...
Lol
im sure K will find a way for him to make 15 career threes or more vs UNC to break my heart again...regardless of the color K gets it fucking done..hate him but he gets it done
He looks serious.
3 years later....
good play :)
Nice
Luke played at the beach ball cla
sic
Y'all know he led the USA juniors in scoring. By a lot.
Kyle Singler v2. Not necessarily a bad thing but still.
with a shot tho
The next Mark Price???
puts me in the mind of a white reggie miller ……he gone make it to da league doe
Broke LeBron James' all-time high school scoring record. Saw him play in the high school playoffs since I'm from Franklin. But if he had a better team around him like the guys at Duke, then I think he's going to do pretty good. Luke to Duke.
ha he kind of reminds me of how Chris Mullen played
0:43 what you guys think?
Next Steve Nash
Next Mamba?
greg paulis type of player
The guy plays like Ginobili
Looks like Micky Mitchell
Probably the next arron craft but for duke lol
Aaron craft couldn’t shoot bruh
anyone know what shoes he wearing?
He seems like a 4 year player
2
does it matter if he's black or white?
He looks good...but then again that's the point of a mixtape,it can make even the worst of players look like Stephen curry.but still he looks talented
Welcome to Duke! lol
This dude wetter than rain and nicer than the weather in Arizona don't even try an say he aint that good he's the best shooter in his class and is so all around its sickening... don't try an say he aint that athletic either cuz he had offers from every school to play quarterback and didn't play football his senior year
Duke does not put scrubs on the team, so he has to be good
I thought it was gonna be a highlight vid of him like shooting in peoples faces, kinda like jimmer in college. It is fine though. Good video and nice game
40 a game?? shit,,
I'm not convinced he is a sharpshooter but ok. If I was that big in high school I could have probably had some sick stats too
There are guys bigger than that who don't tear it up, I know someone who's 6'5 and doesn't kill it, that's a pretty arrogant statement.
Think about it though. There are 10s of 1000s of high schools nationwide. Unless you are playing at those prep academies and top schools, your average competition will be maybe 6'2". Every once in a while you might come across someone is 6'6" or greater. Being coordinated and that tall in high school at most schools would equal you totally dominating everyone. It's like comparing it to high school football players that can run at least a 4.5 40-yard dash. Every once in a while you will find someone that can match their speed, but for the most part they are going to outrun everyone on the field. Same thing with having some form of basketball skill and being that big in high school.
BallzInYaFaze 2314 It doesn't mean it's always true, but I see what you're saying.
40 points a game.... jesus christ, he's better than Scalabrine
Lefty Jon Scheyer
Lacks athleticism but hes very crafty should be a decent contributor his sophomore or junior year in college
Whoa
I took a pic with him
Could This Be The Next Great White Boy In The NBA (If Or When He Gets There) Since Steve Nash , Larry Legend , & Dirk ? 😂
wish the nba was half as physical., by the time he gets there he will need more acting skills. btw left handed jumper is so prettayyy.,reminds me of nba2k for some reason.
Left handed Sam dekker
dude is nice, definitely has talent people hating on him because he's white
Color shouldn't matter this is America...best person for the job regardless of the other bullshit
Mike Dunleavy...
they lied you can ball in futures
