Darius Garland is one of the most creative, exciting, and unique players to watch in the league. Let's take a deep dive into his game. IG: @ByAnyMeansBasketball Virtual Academy Training: www.byanymeansbball.com/virtual-academy
His footwork is top notch, to change speed requires good understanding of your own footwork. When a decade ago, footwork was used to only create space, now it’s used to deceive your pace to catch defenders off guard. For shorter players, Garland is a perfect example of a player who is unpredictabe and definitely takes advantage of his elite footwork.
I as well know darius . I remember joining his PS4 party one time because I was good friends with one of his good friends and he immediately said to me " fuck you, fuck you , who are you". He also tried to sleep with my cousin lol. True story. He went to Brentwood academy
Plus on top of all this, he's an elite passer, so he can blend his shots with passes and create looks for teammates if you throw more attention at him.
@@chrisisslick Yeah, part of what makes him so unpredictable is that you never know when he's gonna pass, dribble or shoot. That said, you could make a whole separate video about his passing. I remember when he came into the league and everybody was trashing him, but if you watched closely enough, you could see that he could already make all the passes you'd want from a lead ballhandler and then some. Like, not many guys can on Day 1 get to the hoop, look off the help into the corner and then make the diagonal pass to the wing. And he's only gotten better with disguising lobs as a floater, lefthand fastballs off the dribble, reading the defense before he even gets the ball so that he can touch pass to the open man, etc.
This series helped me improve and understand the game drastically, from just a 3 and D guy, to one that can run an offense effectively. Keep working fellow ballers!! 🙏🏿
My favorite player to watch because of his style. He got that throwback, shifty game!!! Keep telling folks, deception and illusion are key to breaking defenses down. His creativity and ability to assess situations are the most amazing things to me.
It’s crazy I remember watching Darius highlights and your attention to detail vids back in high school trying to get better. Now you made a video about him
Darius is the point guard I love to watch. Yea you got Trae, Ja, Luka, and Fox them but Darius is just different. He’s not flashy flashy but he get buckets on a down low. Cavs is a problem in upcoming season.
His shooting will lengthen his career. A lot of shifty guards end up getting knee problems because of that aggressive style of play but if he continues developing that shooting he’ll be great for a long time.
His natural shot is actually two motion but its very quick still so it seems like he's just shooting in one motion. But when he's shooting off dribble combos and fading it's more one motion.
I think almost everybody has a two-motion shot on spot-ups -- catch + gather/dip. But I think it's actually unnatural for Garland. He got into a slump last year because he was taking a lot of two motion spot-ups, but then it looked like he started focusing on catching the already loaded with his knees bent and went on a tear. Garland also kind of has a two motion when he's pulling up at fullspeed, but basically only Steph shoots in one motion on that type of shot. On stepbacks, though, Garland is one-motion.
Love seeing Darius Garland get more hype, I remember watching him play in college and seeing him hit the Harden double step back in practice smoother than Harden, even with a rocky rookie year I knew he would turn out great
you know what garland reminds me of? He Reminds me of a Dame + Jokic guy and with that, i mean that Garland is insane with his playmaking, his smart when he gets the ball like Dame and is a super unpredictable player just like Jokic so you can basically say his Jokic is dames body
Not gon lie a lot of coaches coach basketball myths. Dg game is built on everything high school coaches at not to do. I messed my jumpsuit off because I was told me 3s should be the same exact form as my midrange🥴
Because a lot of people say these things are “innate” and just “natural.” When I’ve seen them be improved over and over. So just want to continue to remind people to have a growth mindset in that sense
“He was despised and rejected- a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave. But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands. When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins. I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.” Isaiah 53:3-12 NLT "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 God loves you so much and showed that by sending His Son to die for us so that we may inherit eternal life. We deserve hell but He gave us heaven through faith in Jesus. He took the punishment we deserved and by putting our faith in Him we can be saved.
