Nevada Basketball Institute Presents Luke Babbitt

[690169]

I was so THRILLED when the Twolves drafted him but then traded him for.....Martel Webster ??!!

Martell Webster only missed the whole year last year and part of this year and dunked the ball when the Twolves needed a three.....damnit Twolves

[clarkkenj]

terrible version of beasley at best

[Gman1522]

I remember watching Luke on Nevada thinking dam this dude is good. He just needs to find his role in the NBA.

[usnate1]

I used to call Babbit a little more NBA ready than Hayward now that Gordon has come a long way physically(and I do mean a LONG way) Gordon's all around skills are better....Babbit has yet to have a 19 point game or better if I'm not mistaken....Gordon has played hardly any minutes, but the games when he did play 19,22,34pt games....slow progression, but he will become an animal in this league....Babbit rebounds better but hes a big 3 or a small 4...Gordon does everything else better than Luke.

[ucantjerklikeus]

he is absolutely horrible in the NBA. His game did not translate at all. I would be shocked if he makes the portland squad this year.

[BaumgartnerDominik]

i think joey shaw was the best in nevada !!!!



[marleyates]

Luke Babbitt sucks now.

Welcome to the Blazers bench population . . . Luke babbit

[NorthWestRegionRep]

Tired of waiting to see Luke Babbit get action in the NBA?

Wait no longer, check out my channel, I have a video of Luke Babbit getting his 1st playing time in the NBA.

[NorthWestRegionRep]

Babbit got mad skills! Dude can play!

[TheLeilisa]

how tall are you ?

is  5'10 good for basketball?

[MSotelo503]

And if only he could do this in the NBA ah well wasted pick? Then again with Broy with the ball no one can shine.

[indianwhite]

LaMarcus Aldridge is shinning, he and Roy make everyone on the team act like wallflowers. Babbitt needs to go to another team like Josh McRoberts (Babbitt's better than him). Even Ryan Anderson & Hayward are rotting on their respective team's benches. McRoberts is enjoying minutes at the moment.

[catch40507]

@MSotelo503 I wouldn't worry about that yet. Its a little too early to call it a wasted pick. Although the Wesley Matthews pickup makes me think that they may shop babbitt out. I would hang on to him though, he is a very solid player.

[MSotelo503]

@catch40507 The Blazers do it time and time again and sit there rookies. I still think Patty has the skills to become a Arron brooks or a Dragic. Babbit is pretty weak reminds me when he plays like a Adam Morrison Great College player but not a NBA player.

[catch40507]

@MSotelo503 If he is going to wind up like Ammo, it will definitely be for different reasons. The guy was one of the best athletes at the NBA Combine with a 37.5 max vert and did 15 reps on bench. I think his biggest problem at the moment is he never gets into games. When you never get in, and then are suddenly stuck into the game, you come in stiff and a lot of guys go and try to do something crazy. And wind up looking dumb.

[MSotelo503]

@catch40507. Yeah he is hands down the best shooters in his draft class but Babbit gots one problem who got drafted to a team with a coach who gives senority and majority minutes even if they dont do well at times.

[MSotelo503]

@catch40507 Don't get me wrong I am a huge Blazer fan but I just got a sour taste about Mcmillian,Broy and Oden. I think we need to move on look at Monty I even jokingly called it I was like what if he becomes one the best coaches. Martell and Bayless will eventually have breakout years.

[POASAtv]

Im a blazers fan because Babbits in it

[TheLeilisa]

are you short, do you wanna grow taller ?

Here is the solution " Helpo Growth Formula "

[JulianK92]

whos better? luke babbitt or gordon hayward?

[jusme0910]

Luke's game is nasty looks like roy might finally have that constant number 2 scorer. He is like what lamar odom was before he went to the lakers , but with a bigger upside though. looking forward to seeing the less high profile draftees make noise hayward and babbitt i hope they both do great.

[MsConverse1998]

omg my last name is babbitt that is so cool

[pitar821]

Man that move at 2:35 was pure textbook...this dude seems like such a Utah type player, I can't believe they passed on him. Hayward is a similar type guy but Babbitt is just way better.

[wxc85]

twolves are the dumbest team ever, they will suck for many years. They traded this guy and jefferson away..good luck

[redassasain18]

wow that jab step at the end put that dude on his ass.. this kid got some talent. i hope he kicks up in the NBA

[kyledewolfe21]

welcome to portland

[jkoff76]

First time the Blazers drafted the guy I wanted them too!!

[samchaos93]

@jkoff76 Brandon Roy???

[cLGenocide]

He looks really good oomgg

[theamazingstudio]

Welcome to Portland



[isaiahtagapan]

dude is a beast, great pick by portland

[Kelspeed1972]

Welcome to Blazerland, Luke. Hope you're enjoying your 1st day in Portland, today. Tell your handlers to set you up with a apt/condo on the west side of the city. You'll love it.

[1314canada]

i dunno why the fuk twolves trade him to the blazers

[johnkarl1824]

welcome to the portland trail blazers baby!

[johnkarl1824]

welcome to the portland trail blazers baby!

[GoodJobEinstein]

this guy looks awesome! and hes white like me!  3:15 was awesome!

[SneakerAddiction]

So... Welcome to Portland. I think you'll like it here.

[MisterBinx]

The final Pritchslap was executed on draft night 2010. When is Minnesota going to learn? Keep any player Portland wants from you. We already got Brandon Roy from them.

[zs2157]

@MisterBinx, The answer is never. They have 0 winning seasons without KG. They got lucky with one draft pick. I will say that there is a problem with the lottery because the Timberwolves have yet to have the first pick. Hopefully the wolves get rid of Kahn and hire Pritchard!

[mellowmark1]

@MisterBinx

Roy has a huge contract owed to him without a good knee to speak of and Babbitt is fucking horrible. Time to eat some crow.

[MisterBinx]

@mellowmark1 Yeah Babbit is terrible, but the years we got out of Roy were magical. So Minny still messed up. He might not have been hurt if went there too. So they could of had a superstar type player.

Look at Minny, going to trade the number 2 pick. Bunch of idiots.

[mellowmark1]

@MisterBinx

Roy being a superstar lead to Portland giving him a huge contract. If Minny kept Roy they'd be in the same boat, owing like 60 mil to a guy who can barely walk. His injuries were a degenerative thing, so it could've happened anywhere. Also Minny may very well keep their pick, but even if they didn't it's a weak draft where the guy projected to fall to them plays a filled position. With all the young talent they have on their roster they need some veteran leadership.

[MisterBinx]

@mellowmark1 You have a good point about Roy, but he did save our franchise. Dude would have been a top 3 player in franchise history. Right after Bill Walton, and maybe 2-3 with Drexler. That's worst case.

I still think the Wolves should take Williams or maybe even Kanter. If it's a weak draft, then they might as well get a solid piece for the future. Kevin Love is a terrible defender. He makes Al Jefferson seem like Dwight Howard. I know Darko is a good shot blocker, but they need more talent

[mellowmark1]

@MisterBinx

Love is too good not to play 38+ a night even though his defense (while improving) is sub-par. The only way I see the Wolves drafting Williams is if they trade Beasley, otherwise there isn't enough minutes to go around. The Wolves are in a good position, especially after signing Rubio. Maybe you could give them a little credit for building a team filled with young talent and tons of salary cap flexibility.

[serge41684]

comeing to the NBA BLAZERS wow cant wait

[serge41684]

coming to the nba BLAZERS wow cant wate

[yungsavsmusic]

THATS RIGHT COME 2 PORTLAND MAYNE!!!!

WELL TAKE YOU!!!

[oxtruongxo]

way to go wolves.. threw away another all star

[grabbity]

So, Dirk 2.0 and Gomes for webster? We have a spare bridge for sale too. lol

[zs2157]

@grabbity , damn thats funny. When I heard they traded him for a guy that is 3 inches shorter, 2 years older, and basically the same player I could only laugh. They traded him because he can't play defense in a league that no defense is played. It is hard to be a timberwolves fan.

[jeffhardyfan52]

welcome to portland kid

[rappingslapper]

I will miss Marty, but at least this kids cool.

Reminds me of Dirk with his pull up / fade aways

[NaSarGR]

Should be drafted higher

[TEVYrox]

luke babbit > gordan hayward... with the jazz picked him up...or paul george for that matter.

[britcald69]

what an athlete..

[GrooTheWanderer80]

my first time watching this kid kid play, and I swear to god, I feel like I'm watching a more athletic version of Chris Mullin. I'd LOVE to have this kid on the Knicks.

[kWiImL3203]

..,nice shooting..,no wonder he'll be joining the all star list soon..,

[brautigan1]

lmao, they traded him for Martell.  Hilarious.

[matheusg21]

Why the Wolves traded him ?????

[blinkskillz]

Great! Welcome to Rip city ;)

[LOL09IZE]

damn i wish he cOuld've came 2 phOenix

[daegencook14]

go BLAZERS!

[daegencook14]

BLAZZERS!

[kingwoompwoomp]

im pissed my dumbass twolves traded him to the blazers

[BoomBoomBatuum]

welcome to POR!

[LEE008iDiOT]

Looks like he could be a good addition for us in Portland. Big body but good shooter that can spread the floor so that Aldrige has more room to work in the post. I hope he can develop into a good 6th or 7th man for us.

[smoothsheets]

Noooo! Luke Jackson 2.0!

[checktheavailability]

@jacobmanlove yeah, yeah, yeah, congrats. as a jazz fan, i'm pissed about this. hayward blows. 

[oddfigure]

Welcome to Portland. You're gonna like the Blazers!

[tommoo25]

just got signed to blazers with gomes for webster..

dont know much about the kid apart from his stats, hopefully they'll be that good in the NBA.. i want him to kill it!

[NBAdraftRoomcom]

Babbit is moving up into the lottery and could go as high as 8. Very well rounded player and great shooter for a 6,9 player.

[kalloused]

Sucks, the Jazz have such a great pick and won't be able to get a good Big man with it like they need. greg Monroe is the man the Jazz need but will go to either the Clippers or detroit so the Jazz will end up getting babbit where he will sit on the bench and do nothing and we will be stuck in limbo. Great player but he won't help us move forward.

[mboucher1216]

Babbitt an incredible talent !! The thing about these highlights is look how easy he gets his space or gets into the middle. That will not happen in the NBA. Hitting that 15 foot jump shot is going to be the key to open the lane up for him. He won't be the best player on the team unlike Nevada so he can just come down and take a 30 foot three pointer. If he adapts his game the sky is the limit. Best thing of all white boy representin, you don't find many in the NBA these days!

[Locksmith2dmvp]

Follows Nick fazekas and javale mcghee recent Nevada players to go to the NBA.

[eyeloveit]

The Rockets might move up to # 10 to take him.

[yagot2luvit]

but can he pass or defend???

[CAE47]

It's funny everyone wants this guy except one team and thats the jazz.

[lemarmcfa]

@CAE47 celtic material come on celts

[thepakibye]

He is a white version of lebron james

[RageInferno89]

I really hope the NEW ORLEANS HORNETS select him,he can play both forward positions and he can shoot and he could possibly take over for peja stojakavic

[thajoker100]

`the rockets should pick this id upp..at 14 if he still aval

[duketango2]

lol at the last move

[IShow]

THE NEXT LARRY BIRD!

[Hultovic]

Impressive! Being 6'8 and being so skilled like that. Nice offensive repertoire, great shooting touch, and this clip was fun to watch due to his exciting style of play. I just hope his confidence will be maintained once he reaches the NBA. I think if he works on lateral quickness, he could become a very good player at the next level.

[TheBorat18]

Future Clipper!!!!!!



[biglove38]

Big fish, small pond. I wish him luck. We'll see how he does away from home for the first time.

[kingjamesbitch]

I see the Clippers getting him

[Locksmith2dmvp]

Can be like chase budinger except a better shooter.

[Ihatekobeful]

we NEED him on our team, to back up bron

[elr0nnie]

Everyone wants Luke on their team.

[Ihatekobeful]

grizz need to trade up for him and paul george

[bandits1]

I want the Hornets to get him at #11.

[urbancowboyNJ]

Reminds me of Manu Ginolbli with a twist of Steve Nash. I hope Nets trade their 27th and 31st picks to move up and grab this guy. Lets go NETS!

[WillMillion15]

In the nwmoc draft he's goin21st.

[PetersonCharles]

He's like a more athletic Dirk

[checktheavailability]

And with the 9th pick, the Utah Jazz select LUKE BABBITT

[Galastin]

@checktheavailability oh god no

[kalloused]

@checktheavailability dude thats not EVEN funny. dear god no. If the Jazz don't select a Big Man with this pick I'm buying a LeBron Jersey

[CAE47]

@checktheavailability please no.

[jacobmanlove]

@checktheavailability no actually he is going to the T-Wolves baby!!!!



[PsychItsMike]

@jacobmanlove lol too bad hes going to my BLAZERS! We need another wingman

[FThePolice97051]

@jacobmanlove the Wolves traded him to PDX

[bigcountryjd]

@checktheavailability NOT, the wolves got em, and then wanted martell, HAHAHAHA. HA

[JerkingBallers]

@checktheavailability Nahhhhhhhhhhh. More like, With the 16th pick, The Portland Trail Blazers select, Luke Babbitt! Which happened. Fuck Utah. GO BLAZERS!

[kiki5030babii]

@JerkingBallers Blazers didnt draft Luke with the 16th pick..Minnesota Did..

[lavadawg34]

wow he looks great here...i agree probably top 10

[Markus77x7]

He won't be around for the Grizz at 12 dude.

He's going top 10.

[crazyclimber80]

lmao @ 3:12

[masterfreestyler187]

grizzlies 12th pick

[runetotem]

Great mix, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him in the NBA.

After his great showing at the combine he even has a shot at going in the lottery.

[Markus77x7]

He's going lotto.



[EcEryda69]

3:21 was fukin great

[elementsofstars]

mock draft has him going to the celts at 19.

[5abi07]

this dude can pass like Magic!!!

[Markus77x7]

What speed and quickness!

What skills!

His talent is obvious.

Future NBA All-Star.

You read it here first.

[tdogballer]

@Markus77x7 will never be an all star. Maybe a more talented Kyle Korver.

[blitzkrieg1913]

dang he shootin range is beyond NBA 3pt range.

[bwillie007]

amazing athleticism for a guy that tall. Whoever gets him in the NBA draft is going to have a steal

[jonniiboi21]

this guys has talent and a future in the NBA

[istayfly313]

Babbitt looks faster and quicker offensively with some solid defensive skills than what scouting reports are saying about him. He's one of the more intriguing 'lesser' known prospects in this draft with his wide array of skills on both sides of the court. I'm pretty sure he can improve any defensive limitations he may have under the right coach and trainer.

[billsh2o]

if this dude were black he'd b top 10 no questions asked

[quanp1]

dat aint got nothing to do with it he played a weak conference he got top 10 talent though but throw in the race card

[billsh2o]

@quanp1 ur right but you cant tell me he wouldnt at least be more well known

[fotoflik]

I agree A99030507Z but if neither of those two are available at 20 I might consider Babbitt.

[Lodzio20]

Hayward is shit compared to Babbitt!!

[fotoflik]

He's the Spurs next wing man bye bye RJ.

[A99030507Z]

@fotoflik I'm a spurs fan too but I'd rather pick Paul George over him or Stanley Robinson.Both plays D and can shoot threes and has good fg%,but of course when it comes to shooting Babbit is way better than those 2.But we need a defensive sf that can play in our system(spurs).Stanley,Luke and Paul's stocks are going higher,but I really hope we'll get George or Stanley,if not I'll go get pondexter.Anyways I'm not the one who's going to draft them.LoL

[XxHooksxX]

@A99030507Z

I think Paul George is #1 on the Spurs list, he's a long forward that can defend and shoot the 3. I don't see the Spurs drafting Damion James or Robinson because they can't knock down the 3 which is something the Spurs need in a SF.

I think if George is off the board the Spurs will draft either Hayward, Babbit, Xavier Henry, Pondexter, or James Anderson.

[A99030507Z]

@XxHooksxX Well ur right, Paul's stocks are going up.But I'm still hopeful for he is mocked to be in the 23rd or 20th..Xavier is projected to be around the top 15 but I guess being a one dimensional player his stocks might go down.If we can't have George I'll take Pondexter or Stanley then if 3 of these guys are out,that's the time I'll take Luke.Anyways I'm not the ones drafting them.LoL

:)

[A99030507Z]

@A99030507Z oops James Anderson is my 2nd guy,I'll rephrase it.Paul,Anderson,Stanley,Xavie­r,Pondexter and Babbit.

[Locksmith2dmvp]

what is this song called?

[NVBballInstitute]

@Locksmith2dmvp Instrumental by Lupe Fiasco

[Locksmith2dmvp]

@NVBballInstitute do u know the name of the istrumental so i can find it.

[NVBballInstitute]

@Locksmith2dmvp The actual song is called "The Instrumental" by Lupe Fiasco

[allmekeke]

Memphis is going to pick him at #12

[2real4u2323]

He will be a Blazer....... Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!

[BlunderingThundering]

I'm hoping OKC can get this fella' and Larry Sanders. I'd be pleased.

[peraltaman]

no wayy the clippers are gunna pick this guy !!!!

[plimps101]

the guy can ball...come to Boston you could be the next Larry Legend!

[POASAtv]

Well miss you Babbit!!!Nevada loves you and I dnt understand why you cant stay at Nevada i know youre gonna be the best!!luv yaaah

[Jchill73]

I hope my Hawks land this guy in the draft.

[mangoman164]

great video, but an even better player. He's as good of an offensive player I saw this season, and he's going to be an absolute steal in the NBA draft.

[ClassToGym]

Luke Babbit in Orlando (magic) in 2010
