I've watched all three Duke games so far this year and Bagley looks like the real deal even though he didn't play second half against Michigan State. The dude is a monster. Miles Bridges looked solid too but he's gonna need to take over for that team at times and it just didn't really happen in the Duke game.

Really interested in watching Ayton play too, I'm intrigued by his game and I'm looking forward to MPJ get back on the floor too.

I see an strong athletic freak. Ayton is a muscular 7'1 with a 43" vertical! That's insane.

He needs to work on his post moves and hands.

A bit off-topic but I really liked to see some "Full coverage" videos. All NBA player performance videos in youtube are based on made FGs, assists and other successful plays. Uncompleted or bad plays, turnovers cannot be tracked by just watching these "highlight" vids. Just an example: Deaaron Fox videos are uploaded for each of his games but you never been able to see his bad shots or other turnovers out there. Hope some youtubers going to notice this gap.

Believe it or not there are a couple youtube channels that do this from time to time.

Yep, still a Bridges guy. I think he can improve on offense and defensively he's already a juggernaut.

The DraftExpress player profiles usually do this. When they do the weaknesses they include examples and stats. They're usually pretty in depth.

Thanks for the info btw. Yes, I had watched lots of Deaaron Fox weakness videos by them or similar accounts.

But all "NBA" youtubers doing highlight videos. For example I want to watch how Deaaron missed 11 of his 14 shot but they just show highlights of his 3 fgm, assists and steals. I think there might be a demand for that as well, especially for rookies. How x player missed 10 straight shoot, or y made 8 turnovers. Especially for top tier rookies, it should be cool to see all without watching full game.

Yeah I know what you mean. It would definitely be cool to have more NBA analysis profiles rather than just for prospects.

NFL youtubers do it with QB's where you can see every throw and sack or RB's where you can see every attempt

Lol, someone definitely should do it for top lottery picks like Lonzo, Simmons and Fox. I'm too busy with my PhD thing and waiting for Kings game at 3:30AM with local time, but I am going to watch every video for sure!

I'm a fan of Bridges. He looks like a man that we need - mentally strong leader with great defence and can score also. But freshmen are all the range right now, so Bridges definitely will be out of top-5. Vlade have to work on getting one more lottery pick...

Highly touted Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr., will miss his second consecutive game Thursday due to a leg injury.

The 6-foot-10 Porter, considered the possible No. 1 overall pick in June's NBA draft, was injured two minutes into the season-opening rout over Iowa State. He had two points and two rebounds in two minutes before leaving the contest.

Ayton is a special athlete. His head is above the rim. His reach looks to go above the backboard. Not sure this is 44" vert tho.

Ayton was playing some bad post D towards the end of the game tonight. Even fouled the 3 point shooter when his team was up 3 with 2 sec left in the game.


But man, the way he moves at his size is Rare!
