 What's the word y'all? I keep it in the book. I had no plan on uploading today because we're getting closer to Thanksgiving and I was gonna take some days off, but my mentions this morning was crazy. I guess Bleach Report put out an article that got people sick to their stomach and we haven't reacted to a BR article in a minute so I thought, let's see what it's about. It's NBA's 24 under 24 ranking. This got people mad. So let's get into it. Y'all notice I am a BR employee but that's never stopped me from disagreeing with an author or writer about their opinions about basketball. That's what sports is about, right? It's about agreeing and disagreeing about different things. And yes, we are somewhat taken abate because when someone puts out an article like this that has seemed to be controversial, some of it, a lot of it is due to the clicks, trying to get the clicks up, trying to get people reacting to it and talking about it. And yes, we did that, but so many. When I tell you, there are so many people that submitted this article. I felt like it was my obligation to talk about these things. So it is the 24 under 24 ranking. Evan Mobley enters the top 10. Luca loses number one spot. Interesting. So this is their second edition of this. They had one right before the season started. And for this one, this is the older one. They basically based on track record, what they've already done and kind of their opinion about them around the league. So I'm just showing you what they look like before and then we're gonna react to the newer version of it. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with anything in this part of it because who cares? This is before the season started but let's get to the right now. But they did switch it up. This one is not about reputation or what they've done in the past but more about how they've been playing this season. Now that the season is underway, the latest version and others doing the season will function more as a ranking based on how they're playing at the moment. Big stars with slow stars, talking about Trey Young and Jason Tatum will get some benefit out of the doubt but even those names fell a few spots. Okay, that's, that's, but the thing that makes this bad is because it can be both. You know what I'm saying? You don't have to pick one or the other. You can based on what they've done and how they're playing right now and then still show love to the younger rookies who might not have a track record if that makes sense. This article based on this sentence alone, these two sentences or whatever is telling me this is about to be really, really bad. Davion Mitchell is 23 years old and though his defense has been pretty good and basically what we expected from him, the offense has been bad. Shootin' atrocious is 26% from three on four attempts per game but they're still saying that he's 24th. Now, once we get done with this article, let's, we gonna go through players that didn't make the article that are having better seasons than Davion so far and also have a better track record. Number, Number 23 on the list, Shay Gilgis Alexander. I already wanna click off because yes, Shay Gilgis Alexander's numbers are down this year. Yeah, they're mentioning it right here, 40% from the field, last year he was at 50, 41 from three, this year he's shooting about a 32. Yes, his percentages are down. But okay, who's next? I'm close to walking off set and just saying we done. You're trying to tell me so far based on what we see from, even if it's just this season alone, Shay Gilgis Alexander has been worse than Taylor and Horton Tucker. Now, Taylor Horton Tucker had like three really good games out of the gate and since then he hasn't done anything. So there's a tweet from Statmew six days ago when Taylor Horton Tucker started off this season and the first three games he was averaging 23 points per game and then the next three games he was averaging literally three points per, literally three points per. But like, I can't watch the basketball that I watch and say so far this season, Horton Tucker has been better than Gilgis Alexander. I do like that they both have hyphenated last names that make them both cool, but come on, bro, that's really wild to me. Shay is three years older, but they're not saying in the intro that any of that matters, right? They're not saying any of that matters. This is supposed to be strictly based on what they say up here, how they're playing in the moment. In the moment. And this was published today. So they know that the last three games of the moment, half of Horton Tucker's season, he's averaging three points per game. I'm only at 22 of 24 and I'm already really upset. Next we have Jaren Jackson Jr. He's had some big shots, especially recently. This is what this picture's from, game winning shots. The team is significantly better when him on the court than off the court but the team is still struggling as far as getting stops and things like that. I'm not really worried about Jaren Jackson Jr. being 21 right here. Should it be higher? Should it be lower? It's up to you. Franz Wagner at 20. He's averaging 12 points per game, four rebounds to assist us in a steal. He's shooting about league average from three on four attempts. He's been having a really, really good rookie season. I want y'all to hear me say that because I've watched a lot of Franz Wagner Jr. He has surprised the heck out of me and somebody that actually watched him a little bit in college because my boy Mike Smith was playing alongside him. I'm impressed with how much he's been able to impact the team in Orlando. But look who he's ahead of. Kevin Herter. Kevin Herter says he's been added to the star lineup of the Atlanta Hawks. They've been amazing. So I cannot deny the fact that Kevin Herter deserves to be on this list. Is he too high? I just keep comparing it to like Shay. I keep comparing it to Shay, who's three spots below. And I'm like, yeah, that might mean that Kevin Herter is a little bit too high. My boy Reese is here. He's been really solid, really consistent this season. And Reese is here, Davion is here. And I'm guessing De'Aaron's gonna be somewhere on this list. They have three players under the age of 24 on their list was a good thing. But again, Sacramento is struggling. De'Andre Aiden has fallen. So going into the season, he was eighth on their list. And I wouldn't say that he was playing any worse than what he was last year, or any worse than what our expectations were, but he failed. Like, yeah, he missed a chunk of the season, but so has, you know, other players on his list. Deer is gone. That's 16. Number 15 is Co-Anthony Alkin arguing the comment section. Who would you rather have? Both players have been very good this season. Their highs have been super high. And you can see why teams want them to be starting point guards of their team in the future. So shout out to both of them. 14 is K. Cunningham, started off slow, obviously. And since then, he's been revving it up. He's been able to hit big time. They were calling them clutch Kade because he found a way to impact the game late in some of these games for Detroit and help them win some games since he's been in the lineup clutch Kade there. DR Fox in number 13. Number 12 is Jared Al. Okay, okay. I just don't know how to feel about this because even though they try to tell you in the beginning that this is clearly based on how they're playing in the moment, the list will suggest otherwise in some places, and then they stick to their guns in other places. It doesn't make sense. Scotty Barnes, shout out to him. And then number 10. Oh, I thought number 10 was gonna be Evan Mobley because in the article it says he reached the top 10. I thought maybe he was gonna be at number 10. But number 10 is actually Miles Bridges. Who's been, obviously he's been one of the most improved player candidates. He's been really good. His highs have been really high. He's had a couple, just a few duds this season which tells me that the production of Miles Bridges is probably gonna be consistent to the entire year. There were 20 games in and maybe he's got like three or four games with his head duds and every other part, he's been really consistent. Number nine on the list is Trey Young. Number eight is Tatum. Number seven is Mobley. Okay, so this is what's confusing to me. Mobley, and right now before his injury, he was my rookie of the year based on what he had done in the first, what, 15 or so games of his NBA career. Unfortunately, he's out two to four with that injury. Both Tatum and Trey have found their groove recently. Both of their teams have been winning. Trey Young has been able to weather the storm as far as the no foul baiting and get back to the version of him or close to the version of him that we saw be an all-star start a few years ago. This is very weird. They didn't, I mean, I guess age has to 100% play a part in this person's ranking. They didn't mention it before, but the fact that Evan Mobley is 20 and he's doing what he does, that's the argument, I guess, over Tatum, who's been averaging 30 points per game in the last five games or so? I, Tyler Hero's number six. Number five is Tyrese Maxi. Number four is Ant-Man. Number three is Lamello. Number two is Luca. And number one is Jamerran. This is bad. And it's mostly bad because the inconsistency's in it. It's literally making me Google some players' name or some players' ages to see if they age out. Like, I was like, Bam's not there, but Bam just turned 24. Yeah, I hated that y'all wanted me to go through that. That was not fun for me. Like, not even a little bit. All right, before we get out of here, I went to the article because you can read comments. People can leave comments on the VR app, apparently. And I didn't really know that until right now. The top comment says, stopped after CNTAC over SGA. I was close to doing the same thing, my boy. People sometimes exaggerate how bad the articles are, but this one is actually terrible. Max and Hero over Tray and Tatum. Yeah, that is a bit wild. I know I glossed over it, but yes, that is a bit wild, considering those two players are the best players on playoff teams. CNTAC over SGA made me irrationally angry. The worst article I've read in my time on VR, SGA and THT are literally two different levels of prospect. One is already a star and huge potential. One is a bench player with starter level potential. You guys forgot Jordan Poole, that's another player. If this was strictly based off this year, Jordan Poole should be on the list, right? You have to say consistent because Jordan Poole has been a better player this year than some of the players on this list, undoubtedly. So the last info we get out of here, when I see a list that says like 25 under 25, 24 under 24, my immediate thought is like, we have to be ranking them based off potential plus what we've already seen from them. I try to think about it like, if I'm starting a franchise right now and I can only pick from players under the age of 24, like this article is, who am I selecting? And if we got to pick number 23, Shay Gildes Alexander would not still be on the board. He wouldn't. Jason Tatum would not be on the board at pick number eight. Eight, bro. Trey Young at nine? All right, that's it. Let me know what you think in the comment section. Am I bugging or the person that wrote this bugging? Am I misinterpreting what they're trying to put out? I've read every single word of this article. I've read it. And the pauses between the video I was reading to try to get a grasp of what they were trying to say here and I still don't understand.
