Dayton born and raised and Flyer fan through and through. Sat 3rd row this past year for so many games I wouldn’t be surprised if I was in some of these home game clips. I’ll bandwagon any team he goes to because of how much I love watching him play.
Good Luck in NBA Obi Flyer nation will always love you I go to every Dayton Flyers game at UD arena the best arena in the whole world best fans too as always GO DAYTON FLYERS
sirrazzmatazz That’s the difference between then and now. Guys come into the league underdeveloped physically because they’re still “kids”. Spending three or four years in college allowed players to develop into their man bodies. Unless you’re Zion or LeBron, who are freaks of nature or athletes scientists created in a lab 😆
Id love to see him delvop more as a 3 than a 4. He has the size and know how to play the 4 but given nba time and training and interchangeable big man opens up the roster and floor so much
Great breakdown, awesome video! I like Toppin as a prototypical small ball center. I understand the decision to show Mike's face in these, but this is not how you do it. The lighting is way off, and the framing makes it look even more awkward than it has to be. You should take ref from gaming videos, or even the coaches interview - its not the main thing we look at (it used to be, and they fixed it), they put the coach on a small screen while play goes on. This how I would do it. Just sneak him in a small screen (better camera angle/lighting), and solve it that way. You have the technology.
@@justkion how you know? Ball, Edwards, Obi, Hayes, Deni, Okoro. There is a load of options. Top 3 cant take them all. Worth looking at the talent we have a realistic chance at getting.
Ohsosaucy No Capela is a rim protector and a defensive in the paint guy. He does not do well on transition and is slow. Obi is fast is very good in transition (obviously) he can also hit jumpers and threes and that’s what capela struggled with. Obi is a perfect fit in the rockets scheme. Rockets are three and d with lots of transition points. He can be there main defender since right now there looking for a fast big man and that’s why they got rid of capela he’s not fast.
I love Ant and Wiseman. I even think Melo could be really good in the league. I think Toppin would be my number 1 pick though. He brings everything you want. I think he can play the wing position if he wants. He has post moves too. He has the whole package. This guys is crazy good and he will get better.
I’m always worried about guys who play as an undersized center in college and look good going against other undersized college bigs. Once those players get to the league they are expected to transition to being wing players which doesn’t turn out very well, like Anthony Bennett or Derrick Williams.
What about more recently with Zion? I actually think Toppin will be a small ball centre perhaps a good fit for the Hornets.. I could see him being a 20ppg scorer from day 1
Roman Coquioco he doesn’t fit the golden state system, they need a big man who can get offensive and defensive boards and guard bigs and guards consistently. James Wisemen would be a much better fit
He's a professional basketball scout, not a ted talk speaker. Plus, he's only reading off of where it says the stats and he's also observing the film to make sure he keeps his place in the report.
Giannis had similar physical attributes to Toppin when he entered the league, actually. Its really not a bad comparison but I definitely think Obi needs to work on that lower body more than anything else. He's going to get buried underneath the rim night in and night out if he doesn't get better on that end.
@@slowmo7219 whaaat.you're worse than jalen rose's comparison. The guy has already said, same body time of collins, kuzma and gordon. But what i see he is much stronger than all of these. Like a young amare.
Warriors need to get this guy he the sleeper pick in this draft! Toppin could end up the crown jewel of this draft becuase his point skills, size and motor ala Amare Stoudemire! 💯
If warriors keep their pick this should be their guy even if he has to go #1. One of the very few players in this draft that i believe will live up to the hype
I really hope Golden State picks him up. He may not be a defender now but he can be molded into one. Lots of Warrior players weren’t great on defense on their previous teams.
Just as a reminder,Patrick Ewing coming out of college was considered a defensive stopper that developed into a Hall of Fame offensive and defensive center....just a reminder.
All about fit. While Wiseman seems the better player overall, Obi seems to be a better fit in terms of the motion offense that Dubs run. I wouldn't be surprised if Dubs pick him over Wiseman. Either way, i think both would contribute immediately.
Warriors should definitely go with Toppin over Wiseman. He'd be an awesome small-ball fit. Remember, the Warriors won 2 championships with Zaza as the starting center. Zaza was surprisingly great for the warriors: on defense his role was "is absolute unit, be wall", he screens, he can handle simple passes. That's it, that's all they needed.
Honestly, the warriors really are the perfect fit. We don't need a "Star," that's what Curry and Klay are there for. Obi seems to have a high iq, and can play VERY efficiently with good guard play around him. In golden state, he'd get the greatest backcourt of all time! We could totally use him in an Amar'e stoudemire role, and if he works extra hard on leg day, I think he could grow into a bit of a post player too
Fast Forward...he is playing with Haliburton now..he's gonna get dunk after dunk after dunk..along with catch and shoots. He's gonna look good stat wise on our team with our strategy. We will use him a lot. Unlike in NY where they have Randle getting the bulk of munites.
Fernando Serna 😐 good thing you’re not the GM for Golden State. They have 0 size, rebounding and defending talent on the court. That includes Green. Green got bullied in the paint and out rebounded on a nightly basis. You can’t have a 6’8 center with small non-elite rebounders such as Curry, Klay, Wiggins and Green. This isn’t 2016. Warriors need a player who is a elite offensive and defensive rebounder, a lengthy rim runner, an elite paint defender, and an elite off ball defender. It doesn’t matter if Toppin is a better than Wiseman, Wiseman is a perfect fit. The only way drafting Toppin makes any sense, is if the Warriors feel they can get Giannis.
He'd have a MVP by 2025. Mark my words. Without a doubt the best prospect from this draft class, don't even mention LaMelo, he will need a good 3-4 years to learn how to shoot properly and not just chuck up shots, his defense also needs much work, he is not a finished project. Neither is Obi, but he can get there quicker and easier, a strong dude who is efficent and is also a good three point shooter. He is perfect for the modern NBA and is a modern PF.
I really hope the Wolves consider this pick instead of Edwards or Ball. Considering they both are ball dominate Toppin isn't. Towns. and Toppin next to each other. would be scary. Russell, Beasley, Hernangomez/Culver,Toppin, Towns.
This is no disrespect to Toppin but I would never take a 22 year old as the number 1 pick. I really like him but hes already older than Doncic, Zion, Tatum, Fox, Morant
I see a Josh Smith...Simple but effective...A good role player in teams like Warriors, Clippers which the back court is super strong and needs a SF/PF swing player with speed and ability to shoot once a while.
You know what, hearing him talk about his defense, I think a good comp is Patrick Patterson. Patterson had to develop game and body when he came in the league, but Obi looks like a scorer.
Whenever a big man can post up with either hand and shoot 40% from 3 he should be seriously looked at. As a Bulls fan I would be happy with Obi or Deni at 4 assuming Ball, Wiseman and Edwards are off the board.
Who’s here after the Knicks just drafted him
Our terrible draft luck as of late makes me pessimistic about him. He gives me Knox vibes
This Kid looks like he can jump right into the NBA body-wise.
He’s 22 playing against college kids... obviously gonna de dominant smh
Thibs gonna fix up that defense to make it alright hopefully 🙏🏾
How desperate are you for likes lmao
I've never seen someone who reminded me so much of Amare Stoudemire
Michael Banks thank you!!!! i said exactly the same thing when i saw the way he played.
Reese 23 even his arms
Facts
Even the way he runs 😂
Tobbin’s a better shooter.
This was Dayton’s year. This really sucks for them. They may never be THIS good again
everything sucks in Dayton
Patrick Wood Cap they were better than Duke Higher ranking and had the highest win streak your just a hater or a Kentucky or Duke Bandwagon
Tay Keith Lmao he didn’t even mention duke nor Kentucky in his comment, I see your hatred for those teams run deep
Tay Keith you used the wrong *you’re* use correct grammar before trying to flame people
This really was our year and this virus took it from us 😢😢
Dayton born and raised and Flyer fan through and through. Sat 3rd row this past year for so many games I wouldn’t be surprised if I was in some of these home game clips. I’ll bandwagon any team he goes to because of how much I love watching him play.
Hornets
Play like amare stoudamire
That's a good comparison from what I've seen.
A smaller Amare
Yeah 💯
A modern version
I see Amare Stoudemire with a 3pt shot ALL DAY.
hes gonna be a superstar at the knicks
Not only is he talented he is also one of the nicest young men I know.
Who is hear after hearing he wants to play for the Golden state 😂
Simon Leake I heard they want him too, they said so warriors players said to get him, I think curry
Yep.. but He look like a mid 1st not top 5 but then again other prospects may look worst
Me
He fits with the warriors fast pace offense
😅😅😅😅
2 minutes in and I can already tell he will be a great fit for Golden State!
@The Truth Marquese Chriss
Got a chance to see him ball in person here at Richmond, dude is a monster, all u people saying he’s gonna be a bust don’t know basketball
No chance he's a bust
whose here because hes on the KNICKS now?!
Good Luck in NBA Obi Flyer nation will always love you I go to every Dayton Flyers game at UD arena the best arena in the whole world best fans too as always GO DAYTON FLYERS
This guy will be a superstar, I'm gonna call it now
Obi looked like a grown man playing amongst children in college.
Bc he’s 22
sirrazzmatazz That’s the difference between then and now. Guys come into the league underdeveloped physically because they’re still “kids”. Spending three or four years in college allowed players to develop into their man bodies. Unless you’re Zion or LeBron, who are freaks of nature or athletes scientists created in a lab 😆
Because he is a grown man.
Because he was. lol
Id love to see him delvop more as a 3 than a 4. He has the size and know how to play the 4 but given nba time and training and interchangeable big man opens up the roster and floor so much
Nah he's most definitely going to be a 4
My favorite player in the draft

Y’all ain’t getting him lol

@@thomfisher4926 i hope we get wiseman we need a big man thats better than lauri
If D Antoni continues to be the Rockets coach, they will try to trade for this guy
That’s immediately who I thought of 😂
Nah I don't think so cause they traded Capella who has a somewhat similar game
Ohsosaucy No Capela is a rim protector and a defensive in the paint guy. He does not do well on transition and is slow. Obi is fast is very good in transition (obviously) he can also hit jumpers and threes and that’s what capela struggled with. Obi is a perfect fit in the rockets scheme.

they have no assets to trade for
@@dubs8049 the Knicks want Westbrook they can make it work

I think he can play the wing position if he wants. He has post moves too. He has the whole package. This guys is crazy good and he will get better.
I think we can all agree he’s the cutest player in the draft
I hope da Chicago bulls draft obi toppin?.!
I’m always worried about guys who play as an undersized center in college and look good going against other undersized college bigs. Once those players get to the league they are expected to transition to being wing players which doesn’t turn out very well, like Anthony Bennett or Derrick Williams.
BlackCelticsFan he will play 3 or 4 but what he is a better shooter and way way more athletic than Anthony
What about more recently with Zion? I actually think Toppin will be a small ball centre perhaps a good fit for the Hornets.. I could see him being a 20ppg scorer from day 1
D.Y.T. Stand up baby lets go Obi!💪💯
Golden State should go for this guy tbh
He’d be the perfect fit in my opinion. Then go out and sign a true big man in free agency instead of drafting Wiseman
I agree, with 6'9" he can be the PF while draymond is at 5. Warriors will be back to finals soon!
@@RetroGrade10 he's got all the physical tools..7-4 wingspan..I wonder how hungry he's though..doesn't seem like a alpha to me again..
Roman Coquioco he doesn’t fit the golden state system, they need a big man who can get offensive and defensive boards and guard bigs and guards consistently. James Wisemen would be a much better fit
@@ramon9537 not necessarily, Kerr has mentioned they miss having a big that can space like Mo Speights.
Amar'e Stoudemire/John Collins/Aaron Gordon
He definitely got some kuzma and amarè to him
But kuz built like DC Youngfly
ShAdowGames24/7 kuz is a diva
He reminds me of Shawn Marion when he dunks. Looks like he’s moving in slow motion
☝️☝️
good call! If only he can defend as well as the Matrix he'd be awesome! (My main anxiety about him)
he moves akward like marion too lol
A mixture between Marion and Jonah Bolden.
Why is he reading from a sheet of paper like that? It's wayy too obvious lmao
@Andres Luis Zaldarriaga Lacson no, he's definitely reading the text
@@MichaelG07 It's scripted. They just shouldn't show him lol.
Michael H he’s watching the film in the video
He's a professional basketball scout, not a ted talk speaker. Plus, he's only reading off of where it says the stats and he's also observing the film to make sure he keeps his place in the report.
For some reason his body shape and the way he moves reminds me of Spiderman.
Bruh he literally reminds me of Amare Stoudemire
Stolen comment lmaoo.
Dont be toxic my guy
@@yourtoxicz5499
Lol how is it stolen if almost anybody can see the similarity
@@yourtoxicz5499 you are toxic
If the Warriors get him, game over folks. The dynasty begins again.
If I was obi I would study giannis and keep working on that jumper he has
Zech Wilson Lol, If he studies Giannis long enough is he going to grow 4 inches and turn into a freakish athlete?
He’s more of a modern day amare
Giannis had similar physical attributes to Toppin when he entered the league, actually. Its really not a bad comparison but I definitely think Obi needs to work on that lower body more than anything else. He's going to get buried underneath the rim night in and night out if he doesn't get better on that end.
Slow Mo Giannis was also 18 and a baby. Horrible comparison
@@slowmo7219 whaaat.you're worse than jalen rose's comparison. The guy has already said, same body time of collins, kuzma and gordon. But what i see he is much stronger than all of these. Like a young amare.
I like him but I'm worried that he's going to be the next Derrick Williams (chosen before Kemba, Klay, Kawhi and Jimmy)
I could see where you coming from I think it's going to matter what team he falls too. Also Derrick Williams was 6'7 and not 6'9 like toppin.
@@grandpa203 williams was a tweener but we never got to see his perimeter game just mainly his athleticism
Chosen One 203 Derrick Williams wasn’t 6’7”
That is a good way to generalize a draft. Ever prospect is there own player
Warriors have to Draft Wiseman or Obi Toppin this year
Warriors need to get this guy he the sleeper pick in this draft! Toppin could end up the crown jewel of this draft becuase his point skills, size and motor ala Amare Stoudemire! 💯
obi toppin to atlanta hawks know that would be awesome to see him in a hawks jersey
Hyped to have him on my high pace exciting Pacers with Haliburton leading the charge!
If warriors keep their pick this should be their guy even if he has to go #1. One of the very few players in this draft that i believe will live up to the hype
Mix of Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion but defense is C+
He is also 2-3 years older than the other top prospects!! But I like his Flow!
I really hope Golden State picks him up. He may not be a defender now but he can be molded into one. Lots of Warrior players weren’t great on defense on their previous teams.
he look like a 2k myplayer
Lol 😂
Fax his legs dont fit his body lol lmaoo he mad long
whos here after Stephen A. reacts to Obi Toppin selected by Knicks with No. 8 pick in 2020 NBA Draft. Perkins work
Just as a reminder,Patrick Ewing coming out of college was considered a defensive stopper that developed into a Hall of Fame offensive and defensive center....just a reminder.
3:22 If only that went in
i love this man so strong next lbj 😁 if gsw pick this not wiseman sure win champ
He sure got game. Hopefully be top 5 and hope warriors can draft him cuz he is that good and bring energy
Good video good good video NBA draft breakdown
I am so proud of you lil bro I remember I used to coach you in your brother Melbourne P.A.L Grant Street I am happy for you keep pushing
Very true Mr. Banks. I saw the same thing.
Warriors!!!!🔥🔥
gs will surely pick him.. i agree.. he will be the next amare stoudemire
As a KNICKS fan all I can say is Good Luck, you're gonna need it!
All about fit. While Wiseman seems the better player overall, Obi seems to be a better fit in terms of the motion offense that Dubs run. I wouldn't be surprised if Dubs pick him over Wiseman. Either way, i think both would contribute immediately.
Perfect fit for the dubs

Remember, the Warriors won 2 championships with Zaza as the starting center. Zaza was surprisingly great for the warriors: on defense his role was "is absolute unit, be wall", he screens, he can handle simple passes. That's it, that's all they needed.
Y'all can't be serious I haven't seen someone that reminded me of jt his ways and confidence shows Jayson Tatum all over again
Great video. I clicked on this to prove that he wasnt nba caliber but you got me flipped
Come on Golden State, this is our guy!!
really seems like he is going to be the best player to come out of this draft when we look back at it years from now
Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Paschal, and Green. Add Tobbin who comes in for either Wiggins, Paschal or Green.
Love to see him go to San Antonio.
I agree. Get rid of Aldridge. Obi would be a great student under Pops.
Honestly, the warriors really are the perfect fit. We don't need a "Star," that's what Curry and Klay are there for.

Reminds me of Kenyon Martin with a 3
Yup
This was a Hatchet Job...Obi is a future star ....book it!
Closer to Draft we get, not minding my Cavs going head and pulling the trigger on him #5. He's good.
Fast Forward...he is playing with Haliburton now..he's gonna get dunk after dunk after dunk..along with catch and shoots. He's gonna look good stat wise on our team with our strategy. We will use him a lot. Unlike in NY where they have Randle getting the bulk of munites.
I’m not a cavaliers fan but would be dope to see him there Him and Colin sexton just sound really good together
He’s a def sleeper pick
He needs to come to the Knicks... he’d fit perfect.
If you ask me this kid could be like the next iggy, big shoulders, incredible rim running, fantastic defence and a decent three point shot
fantastic defense?
Steph, klay, wiggins, obi, dray. How would this starting 5 do?
andy wong bad you got Andrew Wiggins in it
Ross Steinfeldt 😂😂😂
They would loose to the Raps as usual.
Hi-Lo Passing to a traditional Center from the Top of Key, a major advantage over majority BIGS.
The Bulls NEED to draft this man. He’s like a Bam Adebayo+Jason Taytum
I think hes the best player in the draft
He wants to play for golden state
And Golden state wants him to play for them (at least the fans)!
@@shinonkim4814 I would take him or edwards

WELCOME TO THE NEW YORK KNICKS 🧡💙
He reminds me of Jabari Parker but the way he runs worry’s me it looks like he runs flat footed which can can a ton of injuries
Nassar Nassar I was thinking that
If the Warriors ends up with the top 3 pick in the draft I think they should trade down to at least 5th pick and get Toppin.
he’d fit so perfectly with golden state it’s dumb
He should be #1
Someone show this to Thibs, asap
Fr 😭
I really hope the Wolves consider this pick instead of Edwards or Ball. Considering they both are ball dominate Toppin isn't. Towns. and Toppin next to each other. would be scary. Russell, Beasley, Hernangomez/Culver,Toppin, Towns.
Totally spot on!
Trey Lyles with a vertical :)
For all we know he may be the best on his draft class, sorry Lamelo..
This is no disrespect to Toppin but I would never take a 22 year old as the number 1 pick. I really like him but hes already older than Doncic, Zion, Tatum, Fox, Morant
Karim Zakaria But he is the safest pick Bc we had least bust potential could be good for the warriors
Warriors....Come Out and Plaaaay!!
Imagine Golden State picks him, another lob party between him and dray. Danggggg 🔥🔥🔥
I see a Josh Smith...Simple but effective...A good role player in teams like Warriors, Clippers which the back court is super strong and needs a SF/PF swing player with speed and ability to shoot once a while.
I am here because apparently he wants to be a warrior... Just looking if he is worthy
Plays like derrick williams coming out of college
Derrick williams in the Euroleague played very similar this year
Booker, Cam, Bridges and Toppin with Ayton on the front court. Please make it.
Kuzma all Day he got bad days and great games.
Hawks got to get this guy
You know what, hearing him talk about his defense, I think a good comp is Patrick Patterson. Patterson had to develop game and body when he came in the league, but Obi looks like a scorer.
Shawn Marion with a jump shot. FACTS
Knicks got a steal with NYC NATIVE OBI TOPPIN!!
NYC YU HEARDD!!
Idk why but for some reason I see him in a blazers jersey alongside Dame
golden state line up nxt season
PG- Curry
SG- Thompson
SF- Wiggins
PF- Draymond
C- Chriss
Bench- Toppin,lee,loney,paschal,jordan,bowman
And the golden state warriors select.... Obi Toppin
a blend of Amare Stoudemire and Aaron Gordon 😳🔥
Whenever a big man can post up with either hand and shoot 40% from 3 he should be seriously looked at. As a Bulls fan I would be happy with Obi or Deni at 4 assuming Ball, Wiseman and Edwards are off the board.
