- At 5'6" Chris Lykes may not be the most intimidating player on the court but you can bet your money he's play will change your perception. Lykes plays for Gonzaga High School in Washington, DC where he competes in the WCAC. Gonzaga finished 24-10 on the year and 13-5 in conference. The WCAC is considered one of the toughest high school conferences in America, meaning you better bring it each and every night. The junior guard wowed spectators and opponents alike on a nightly basis en route to being named the WCAC Player of the Year. What's more impressive is that he beat out not one but TWO McDonald's All Americans for the award. He averaged 22 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game this season. He shot 47.3 percent from 3-point range and 74.9 percent from the free-throw line. Considered to be a great leader, Lykes also excels in the classroom (3.8 GPA) & frequently does volunteer work at his local church. Lykes is currently considered a Top 100 player with offers from Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Villanova. Catch Lykes this upcoming AAU season as he'll be running with Team Takeover on the NIKE EYBL.
So basically he's well-behaved Aquille Carr
Great shooting mechanics + vertical + ability to finish and handle the ball. He doesn't need height
+HPM Royale you're acting like that's bad
+HPM Royale okay I get what u meant now
:)
Got my phone taken away in class watching this 😂 ball is life
One of the best mixtapes I've seen in a while.
Sean Ballow what mixtapes have u seen then? 95% of it was just trey balls anyone can just post jumpers
Playing against short players is so annoying, especially when they're lefty
No shit
+xPsyrate I happen to be one of those short lefty players lol
+PBasketball exactly tbh if I was an NBA Guard with IT on me I'd just take him into the post every possession until they took him out so I could start driving lol
I'm mugsy with the left boi
I'm on of these short left handed players. I'm a pesky defender and I'm 5,10 but I can't shoot to save my life.
Height isn't for offense it's more defense anybody can be good offensively that's why a lot of short guys don't make it
W
But look at his athleticsm. His timing when his blocking a shot is great for his height.
Watch him live. He plays really pesky defense. That's why Villanova offered him cause he's a great offensive player and he plays great defense. Plus he's so athletic that he can block lay ups and dunks as well.
Your right... Now he is an mvp candidate
Actually even on offense it’s way more difficult if your short. I’m a undersized point guard so when ppl contest my shot I haft to use major high arc to shoot over them. And on lays I haft to put major spin every time. It’s not that ez bro
They should make shorts that arent too long for him, he deserves such treatment for his play
lmaooo 😂💀💀💀dead af
Yeoooooo😂💀
i WANT TO SEE THE NBA Draft a 5'4 - 5'7 guy's , that can play!
All respect 💯. You gone make it, just don't give up. Do it for us (short/undersized) people
I’ve met him, coached him at a camp, and watched him play up close. He’s the real deal. And a nice kid too. He was giving it varsity guys when he was in middle school. He’ll be great in the nba
memories of aquille
never
NO
yeah
Carr was better imo
swmike10 lykes more skill
He will be in the NBA..... He's explosive, can finish at the rim with either hand, a hop jump shooter which speeds up his shot release, he has range on his 3ball, tenacious defender, extremely confident with high basketball IQ.... My sons played against him twice this year and will see him again twice next year.
He got the skills but not the height‼️
Lol this aged poorly
@@ThevelvetundergroundnNico not really, hes making plenty of money overseas and im sure hes content with the life hes living
@@thegreatgojousatoru5846 his not in the league that my point
this music is lowkey savage for how short he is
LMAO
And... of course he can dunk... don't mind me just gonna cry myself to sleep again
exactly what i said 😂
These short guys dominate high school! It's a shame they don't get the looks they deserve at the next level.
He has been offered by Georgetown and Villanova
+Cameran Hyde and notre dame
+Justin Lynn and miami
Cameran Hyde glad to hear that
Man he is so fast! He is an amazing player for his height he's my motivation that I can go D1 just like him.😅🏀
Work hard like really hard and it can happen
Miami Commit !
Make a mixtape for me il pay u
Arkansas ^
much respect to this dude I'm 5'6 as well man beautiful ass jumpshot
SteamyHD keep grinding bro
At that height you have to be really good imagine if he was that good at the average point guard height... it's crazy
Bro he has gotten so much better since high school. I remember watching him back in the day cant wait to see him kill it after college
this guy needs to make it to the nba he is a amazing player with a insane vert
hell yeah if you playing above the rim it doesn't matter how short you are!!!!!
hopefully he has a growth spurt in college
Stfu His height dont matter
I wouldn't say the king of the DMV I mean Markelle Fultz and Anthony Cowan are better but he's tough. WCAC just so much talent
He was the WCAC Player of the Year 😂
+BallislifeEast I'm hip that doesn't mean he's better than them
+Jordan Bushrod He is the king Of Dmv if he got the award
That's very debatable.
+Jordan Bushrod Bushrod if you don't shut yo dumbass up nigga
Just saw him at Les Scwab invitational. Holy Crap!!! Beautiful jump shot, great passer. Super fun guy to watch. seemed humble too.
Best player in the DMV. He's way more polished than Aquille Carr especailly with regards to his shooting
+DR0CK016 ur drunk never disrespect aquille carr again, the midget that went toe to toe with andrew wiggins? the same aquille thats on the houston rockets? yeah you couldn't be comparing this man to THAT man smh
+Jack Daniels First of all I didn't disrespect Aquille Carr at all, you did by calling him a midget. I pointed out that Lykes is more polished than Aquille not better. That meaning his game fits better into the college game than Aquille's did in HS. Specifically his ability to shoot the ball, which is key on the college level. Pound for pound, I'd take Carr because of his tenacity and raw talent. But because Lykes can shoot he's going to get bigger name college looks than Carr.
Great video, can't lie pretty inspirational, i just want to go back out and play.
I get the EXACT same vibes from this kid as aquille carr, hopefully he goes further tho
I was at Gonzaga at my brothers game and he walked right by me and I had no Idea who it was
I'm more impressed of his GPA I love seeing young African Americans knowing how important school is
Um ok 🤔 what does being African American have to do with him learning ?
Yeah what the hell you racist😂
Drippy X Teee because a lot of African American youth don't what they're supposed too
GaminProdigy thank you for the info,they clearly dident understand
Des7royer234 takr this L you idiot
Even kill and un bothered by the extra bull crap. This guy is amazing. Tremendous upside!!!
his vert makes his jump shot just as good as taller people also he dribbles lower so he doesnt have that many disadvantages. believe and achieve
So inspiring since I'm like him . I'm 5'7 also
He is nice and sick mixtape
Aquille Carr 2.0
This proves height doesn't mean nothing
Rise young fella 💯
5'6 and dunking anyone taller has no excuse
I remember seeing him play at a dematha game, he's crazy good
2:09 block was nasty🔥
Dmv stand up 🤝!!
Chris lykes is tuffer than markelle fultz
Dejon Tyler lmfao yeah ight put the crack pipe away son..
Dejon Tyler since you can't spell I'll just act like you ain't make this stupid comment
+chocolatemilk who are you
Isaiah Thomas
Sam Frank When he gets to the NBA he's probably going to be 5'9 like Isaiah
"Heart over height" said every nigga under 5'9 that think they gunna make the nba wit just "heart" lmao. In reality coaches want "heart and height" lmao
lol that is true
Dope TV get your hating ass outta here coaches can want what they want but u don't have to be tall for a coach to want u. If that was true Chris wouldn't be in the top 50, he wouldn't be the best player in the DMV, he wouldn't be dominating the WCAC and Peach Jam, and he wouldn't be going to a top tier D1 college
Dope TV it's even funnier because u talkin all that trash yet u begging Hoop Journey for a mixtape😂😂stop hating on good players and get better with yo trash ass
you mean under 6ft
Nate Robinson, mugsy bogues,spudd Webb
Got that Jerryd Bayless shot
He reminds me of a young Chris Paul
Reminds Me Of Acquille Carr
At 2:36 number 5 looks like Trevor from GTA V 😂😂
Going crazy down in south Florida
this boy jump's 50 feet on his jumpers
He could windmill from the middle of the foul line
Seen many explosive players like him. Check out Marquise Mosley from Cali. He played for Earl Watson Elite. They have the same game.
Young Kemba!
Welcome to the U!!
welcome to the "U"
He's 5'8 I looked on the website
Prob with hair
He nice💯
.Better jump shot, more effective with dribble. Greater composure and consistency. Although less explosive, but explosive enough. Overall, better than Acquille Carr.
+Tenzin Bhutia No
IMO he's good enough to get drafted a lot more skilled then guys drafted n the past. Spud Webb , Muggsy Bogues , Earl Boykins has a better floor game than Nate Robinson better shot the vision the ability to create his own shot can finish w either hand he puts pressure on the defense has a great feel for the game crazy IQ and the heart of a lion is Chris Lykes has that game to make it to the league
Chris Lykes vs Aquille Carr
awesome guy)
He's only 5'6" and he can dunk!! wtf!
Kris Jenkins went to Gonzaga Prep then Nova... Does Lykes follow?
reminds me of aquille carr and trae jefferson
What all separates him from other top tier guards?
next Acuille karr
Limitless range
raw
Next Nate Robinson
He is 5'6" and can dunk, well im 6' and can touch rim...barely
chris got hops
just like a pre-injured d rose
i like the music
king of the DMV please stop
i hear people talking about heart and height coaches want hardworkers on their team because then if those hard workers go to the NBA other and good people will want to go there height does not matter !!!!!!!! and if you have a better guard that's shorter then why not that's like saying Chris Paul isn't better than someone like Shaun Livingston and he's 6'4" once again COLLEGE coaches look for hardworkers not "height"
AQUILLE CARR PLEASE 😢
Is this really short ?
r those cheering sounds fake?
reminds me of ray talor
in every highlight I seen a shot clock, does anyone know if they play with a shot clock in the DMV or was it just for the high school playoffs
They do
I played in DC, a lot of schools don't have shot clocks, but the Catholic league gonzaga is in use shot clocks
+digge546 yeh the wcac uses shotclocks
