 what's the word y'all okay let's get the elephant out of the room i need you ignore these two things my hair i'm getting retwisted today so this is my twist out and ignore the fact that i'm sending my house with a college shirt button up to the absolute top today was halloween and we did this little funnel family halloween costume i was a chick filet employee ain't got my name main name tag um my wife was a chick filet employee and my daughter was a cow it makes more sense when the other people are around but now i just look like a dude this just got out of school so ignore those two things we talking about hoops for the most part today was a somewhat unaffinful day in basketball so we're gonna do a quick recap of the games but i also want to spend majority of today's video talking about the players that have impressed me the most these are just the people that at the top of mind there are a lot of different players that are um exceeding expectations so you leave some in the comment section too but before we do that let me tell you about our sponsor prize picks hit the link in the description and download the prize picks app and use code matching all the pods up to $100 i love

and you tell them if you think the person gonna have more or less than the number projected it's just that simple of course we're basketball channel but it's a lot deeper than that they got football they got baseball we're the world series aren't we they have a lot of different sports over there like tennis mma and soccer i don't know if i put together a lineup but i mean i just gotta play the just play the numbers and you can win and that's exactly what i have been doing here's my lineup from yesterday uh it was the perfect lineup ladies and gentlemen i got all in the green join in with the thousands of other people that have used my link and join in on prize picks hit the link in the description use cocaine because they're matching all the pods up to $100 for new players i want to say shout out to prize picks again for sponsoring another video okay let's go over games um i'm going to tell you right over the rockets and the clip is still going on i'm sorry a game starting at 10 o'clock my time cannot get a lot of time for me because bro i got a whole kid i got to wake up in a month man i'm gonna have to watch that game tomorrow morning okay so let's get over the games that we did watch like kings versus hornets this game did not start off pretty good for this sacramental kings deer and fox goes out with an injury do wants some bonuses and foul trouble for the entire game but they still pull it out because kevin herder red velvet uh spoiler alert we're gonna be talking about him later as one of my impressive players came to play in davion mitchell in the absence of the earth fox step up dramatically as he hit five three i didn't realize it was that many he had five threes including the big dagger but the quarter that really put them into this game and into the league was the third where kevin herder went out there and scored 12 points hitting two of three for three again we're gonna talk about kevin herder in a little bit um but this is a really important win for the kings because now technically there are no win streak ladies and gentlemen and i like that they were able to close this out with the monsters of bonus fouling out um trey louse came into the fourth quarter hit a big basket and they ended up winning this game shout out to them the 76ers are a 500 team and they won two of their last three games without joel mb very curious if you ask me i didn't watch this game no i'm be honest with you um it it's probably a little bit telling that the two best games of terry's maxi season so far has come with joel mb out um he had the 40 piece against the raptors i'm pretty sure and then he had the 28 piece today again i didn't watch this so i'm i'm kind of just joking around about the joel mb stuff but being able to win games like this without your superstar player is really important and just like that they're back to a 500 team the pacers almost ruined it for steve nas i legitimately thought that if steve nas in the brooklyn that's lost tonight's game he was going to be fired but they closed it out um and shout out to nicholas clackston nicholas clackston just saved steve nas's job because kati and kairi have been doing exactly this all season this is not a surprise but nicholas clackston to come in and give them 19.9 rebounds four assists and four blocks was huge especially in the fourth court i think he had a couple different buckets down the stretch and just like that that man steve nas lives to see another day but i was really really impressed with chris dortay because through the first couple games of the indiana pacer season he ain't looked like the version that we saw last year when he was you know in the running of rookie of the year for the first month or so and in this one he put up a career high 30 points and buddy he'll continue to show hey lakers trade for me which is basically what myos turner said on woldes podcast he told the lakers hey if i were you i would throw those two first round picks because i know what myos turner can bring and then the 76ers got fine for tampering two second round picks i how does myos bridges i mean he might not bridges myos turner not get fine he might steal but like just actively saying hey lakers i'm here it's gotta be against the rules won't we another um and he didn't have a great game but hey the paces are not supposed to be in these games in the first place and they were they were down by like 20 points and brought it all the way back to single digits brought it all the way back to tie but ended up losing down the stretch treyong had one of the worst performances of his career i guess or at least of the season i know early in treyong's career it was he had a couple somewhat not so great games but in this we have 14 points 10 tenesis and 10 turnovers i was thinking about making this entire video about the toronto rafters and their defense because boy oh boy do they force more turnovers than a lot of different teams of basketball and treyong just looks small amongst all of these people because there was no fray van vleet today so like the shortest man on the court a majority of time was gary treyong who was like six five six six so treyong had his hands full being guarded by ojana nobi for a good portion of this game being guarded by scotty barnes for a good portion of this game and they end up losing this but i really wanted to showcase the toronto rafters defense because they get out the half court offense still isn't good for the toronto rafters but if they're causing 13 steals and a total of 18 turnovers for the atlanta hawks you don't really need half court offense in a lot of cases because we outrun it we outrun it pass gal gave them 31 and 12 with six assists scotty barnes to three back to back to back threes in the first quarter and ojana nobi had six total steals a couple more assists and he would have had a five by five dang bro those are those are the type of stats that i would cherry pick for forget a triple double but forget going for 20 points i needed two more assists for a five by five i'm throwing a lot i'm doing something um but i was gonna showcase the rafters defense in this one but i didn't want to make it seem like i was picking on treyong because he has been really really good this season and i didn't want to just showcase the one really bad game of the year um and for the atlanta hawks i don't really look at these last two losses too much i still think there's going to be a gelling period when you have two of the more ball dominant players at least last year trying to figure out how to play together uh they they lost to two really good teams in my opinion so uh it is what it is just giving more time to jail the pistons continue to see in his games yesterday they beat the golden state words was a dub and today they they snuck around they stayed around with the milky bucks for the entirety of the game and i mentioned yesterday how good k cunning him has been and i'm looking at my tabs k cunning him is one of the people we're going to talk about as far as the people that have impressed me the most so we'll save that for a couple minutes from now um but overall the detroit pistons are standing to these games and losing which is probably what you want if you're the detroit pistons considering what this draft class really has yonis continues his dominance with 31 points and drew holiday in the last couple games have been amazing um brick lopez another player we will be talking about all right let's get to the games or the people that we impressed with the most also the jazz continued to win games nope no desmond bang tonight so you know the grizzlies have somewhat of an excuse but the defense was just god awful it's it's rounding up right now and the jazz just figuring out i have no idea how all right so somebody isn't going to be like duh kenny but i just like some people i want to talk about that this is my channel this is what we do the first man is she gives alexander now like i said in the video maybe yesterday or two days ago i haven't done any complete due diligence and sitting down and watching the entirety of an okc game what i've been doing for shea is pretty much watching shea's possessions or before giddy was out watching giddy's possessions because those are the two players within the organization that i'm invested in i'm starting to get the the jailing williams buzz i understand it you know even though since he put the mask on he ain't been great that was his first game back but the shea stuff is crazy because this is basically what we've seen for the entirety of his time in okc when shea is in the lineup the thunder have a chance to win any game against any team so far in the season he's averaging 31 points seven assists five rebounds and the thing that i'm excited about the most and again it is only five games he's attempting to afford threes a game and he's shooting 37 percent last year he was a god off a three-point shooter and when i was streaming on twitter a little while ago uh we were going through his shot mechanics like the year before versus last year and he changed it up he always had this little hitch in his jump shot but it seemed like it got even worse last season it looks better it looks more fluid even though he'll always had a hitch but when it comes to to get into the basket i continuously say this there are maybe two people three people in basketball that are better than shea and shea is not i mean he has a six six guard so that he's i won't say he's not naturally gifted but it's not like he's honest he's not basically a six eleven dog he is a six six guard that uses silky moves it's not like he's using pure force they're not people that can stand in front of him and if he's also hitting his jump shot how do you guard that man the answer is you don't the next guy's keldin johns he's averaging 24 five and four on the season um he just continuously looks good man he dropped i think they said 20 pounds every time i've watched a spurs game from the opposing broadcast they mentioned oh keldin johnson dropped 20 pounds he dropped 20 pounds and you could tell like if you've watched him last season they watched him to this season he's dropped that weight and and for some reason teams are still playing off of him if as if he can't shoot he was a good shooter in college he came to the nba and wasn't great i mean in the sample size wasn't huge and in the minutes he's given over the last two seasons he showed that hey i'm not just a good shooter i'm a great shooter he's attempting nine threes a game so far this season he's shooting 43% okay i don't expect that to be the case for the entire season but like his shooting his shot making has been incredible next one is kade cunningham he's averaging 21 six and seven um and i don't think that takes into account today's game so the numbers might be even higher i just like if you were watching the detroit pistons without knowing anything about basketball or okay maybe the rules of basketball but not knowing anything about players you can see and watch the kade minutes and then watch the minutes that he's not on the floor and the difference is a team that is competent enough to stay in any game versus a team that looks like they're gonna lose by 30 every single night and maybe that's just a testament to like kory joe or killian haze not being very very good but kade cunningham is just a guy that keeps you in basketball games he's a guy that makes the right plays and now that they're starting to put more offensive weapons around him you're starting to see his numbers go high he's averaging seven assists a game because bowing out like nine of his don't miss so i really love kade's game and uh you can obviously tell why he was the first overall pitch this last season and if he continues on this way i mean he's got to be in all-star conversations easily easily larry marketing this game just wrapped up so these numbers don't account for this win he's averaging 21 nine and three and it's cool to just see larry marketing get as many touches as he absolutely wants and he's averaging 21 points without his three-point shot going down if you would have told me let's say four years ago like four years ago that larry market was going to average 21 points per game but he's only going to shoot 27 percent from three i would call you crazy and i would say you're lying to me because when we watched him in chicago basically he was a guy that just spotted up in shot three except for that one month y'all remember that one month in like year number two where he averaged like 27 eight points per game and bulls fans is like we got him the next dirt and then he just not regressed but he just went back into the shale of i'm just gonna spot up and shoot i legitimately think jim boilin is to blame but i that's not that's not here or there but now he's just he's getting to the basket he's getting his own rebounds he's doing a little bit of everything and and as a guy that watched him since the beginning of his season i just love the the fact that he's playing his best basketball and he's doing it on a very good i mean a good team at this point all right so this was when we start talking about people that ain't putting up no crazy numbers josh green is averaging five three and one and you know what i might have a tweet about josh green like two seasons ago or maybe it was last season let me see if i can find it january of this year i said josh green gonna mess around and make the kenny frill all-star team and uh he looks better now than he did last year the numbers are five points three rebounds about one assist that obviously doesn't jump off the page at all he's only averaging 15 minutes per game so kenny why is he even on this list well he is hitting his shots it's it's it's basically that simple for the first couple years of his career everybody's seen him as a guy that can really like when it comes to one on one defense he can clamp up and he's not bad in the in the gaps off the ball but the problem was his first year of his NBA career he shot 16 percent from three the second year he shot 36 which is better but this year again on small sample size six games 15 minutes per game he shooting 55 percent and when i was in brooklyn i'm gonna keep referencing this game because it was the best game i've ever been to when i was in brooklyn to watch this team versus the nets there was two plays in that one where he caught the ball in the corner right in front of me three feet in front of me and just the release on that just you can just feel that it was going in every single time so he does all the right things and even he's only 21 years old so i think he's gonna continue to get better and better throughout his career until he's like a real real rotational piece the next one is jock landale yes son's fans here we go jock landale has been able to basically roll with the best of them you know what i'm saying i mean it does help when you got devon booker as a pick and roll partner or chris paul as a pick and roll partner but hey he's still got to finish he's still got to use them good hands he's still got to play in space and he's after 10 points per game and five rebounds and doing a ton of the dirty work especially now that the andrew aiden is going to be out for the next couple games you're kind of seeing um center by committee with bismac bianbo up in there but jock landale has been a standout on their bench for the entirety of the season so i'm excited about that because last season i'm be honest with you i didn't know much about him i think i was pronouncing bro's name wrong and i might still be doing it but still right now jock landale um has been really really good for the sons one that i'm not gonna spend too much time on because i've been telling you all this for like two season now isael hartenstein is really really good i mean down the stretch he's playing minutes over mitra robison because he does a little bit of everything his average in nine eight and about a an assist per game very rarely does he make mistakes um and those are the type of players i really like let's get my homework pick out of the way javante green is having six points three rebounds and a steal but he's leading the league into flexions i mean bro his only average in 17 minutes per game which seems terribly low because of how impactful he is when you're actually watching the chicago bulls he's a human highlight reel he gets deflections and he's actually hitting he's not hitting his shots i just looked at the percentage i swear to god if there's like he said more shots at 20 percent from three either way javante what about brick low piss being back last season was a struggle of a year for brick low piss because he dealt with all the back injuries last year he averaged 12 points the efficiency wasn't there and this year he's averaging 15 points and he looks dramatically better like today when they just went against the detray pistons they don't win this game without him putting up was it 23 and 10 or something like that so his numbers of 15 6 and 1 are not the right numbers because you know it don't account for the game that he just had i mean brook has been amazing um he's averaged three blocks at one point it was like six blocks per game the bucks are so crazy because they they have probably in my opinion the best perimeter defender in basketball they have the best help defender in basketball and they have one of the best just pure paint protection basketball and that is why they are still undefeated shout out to brick low pass next one stick up with the spurs on this one yaka purple i've been singing pranks about yaka for like two seasons now and it seems like he's getting better and better at times only 27 years old on the last year of his deal i don't know what the spurs plan is because they're they're so good that they might be able to make a playing spot but they really want to make a playing spot i don't really know i think that if the spurs listen this is i'm telling adam silver to rig it because he adam silvers telling the world hey if you start tanking we go delegate you down to the g league whatever the hell are you talking about um and the spurs traded they're all star point guard and disjante murray and everybody including me projected them to be terrible and they haven't been so i would say if they make the plan and lose give them with victor robin yama web and yama just do it they deserve it they've been doing it they've been doing it the right way the right way for 20 plus years give it to him um but no if they do decide to sell um 27 year old yaka purple i mean that's gonna warrant a first round pick that is how good he has been this season and and last if you're looking at that next player is dean wade 10 points per game three and a half rebounds in an assist on the season let me shoot him from three because i know it's a crazy percent it's 62 percent from three and like i mentioned in yesterday's video i think it was he basically didn't play the first game of the season um or the first game against the bulls bulls home opener and since then i mean you know they're still dealing with injuries and stuff and d weight is brought into that star lineup i mean this is a dude that if you didn't know anything about him you would see him on the court and be like i don't know if he's gonna be nice he is six nine he's built more like a four and a five but he does hold his own on the perimeter against like threes and stuff and he also he leaked three point shooter at least this season um on four attempts per game so he's been really good grinch williams is averaging nine point six and four i mean i i i said that last season he was super important for what the um borsa seltzer seltzer's were doing and then we got to the finals and he was borderline unplayable just because he doesn't have the foot speed to keep up with the wiggins of the world or the stef courage of the world but so far this season he's been pretty damn good um he is the modern version of pj tucker with a little bit more to his game because he sits in those corners he hits his shots and he is also batman i'm happy for bobo because he was one of the most hyped up players you know when he was going out of college went to oregon whatever he was in the green room he got he got invited to the nba draft and did he get drafted to the 44th overall pick look at that man's draft pictures and tell me he don't look like the saddest person in the world where this season he's got opportunity more than he's ever had before he's got more minutes played so far this season than any of his other seasons completely and he's averaging 11.6 rebounds and he looks like a real player for the orlando magic i want to remind people he is just 22 years old at this point of his life uh so i'm just saying sometimes you gotta take a shot and the orlando magic has done a good job taking shots and not all of them have hit but i mean right now bobo looks like a real player and they're playing huge lineups over there now the kings paid a lot to get kevin herder on the team and so far he's making them feel damn good about the picks that they gave up um because if i'm not mistaken because they gave up the pick that they gave up they basically can't trade any more first round picks so if they this close to doing whatever the hell they want to do and they want to buy in to get another piece they can't really throw another pick he's averaging 18 three and four and like i mentioned earlier in the video when you're talking about today's game he has been electric from three on about eight attempts per he's shooting 53 percent one of my favorite things is when someone goes down an injury and they look for the next man up and the next man up really comes out and play that would be naji marshal naji marshal saw opportunities of a lifetime because um brandon ingram went down with a concussion get well soon bi and then herb jones also got injured and now they're looking on the wings like who the hell do we play they had the nazi televised game against i don't remember who and zeke i was calling zeke naji oh man zeke naji that pick i have picked him to be a player that gets he only get pt naji marshal stepped into that role as a wing and he's averaging 10 points per game three and a half rebounds and two assists he's shooting about league average from three slightly above league average from three which is all you can really ask for the defense is going to be good and he does a lot of the small things and those are the things i like and then the last two people we're going to group together because they play for the same roster it is nick richards and jailer mcdaniel's i think mcdaniel is just shooting like 51 from three on the season on like 25 attempts like he has been as lights out as you can be on a lot of value so far this season and then also nick richards who we've talked about about 10 times um so far this season so i won't go too deep into that but those are a bunch of people that have been impressed with me so far i've seen the list could go on and on and on but i'm a stick to 36 or have a mini i did this video
