Darius Garland projects to be All-Star and franchise building block | 2019 NBA Draft Scouting Report 

1.35 PPP on Pull-Ups (99th Percentile) is actually insane. Dude is an absolute perfect fit with the Lakers.

Bro I’m 6’3 and ppl say wow your tall. Whenever I look at curry on the tv I’m like wow he’s short 😂

i can already tell 2k gonna give him a trash jumper

He's shifty and he plays at his own pace.

Those handles are gonna be awesome to use in 2k

I see him basically as a Damian Lillard. He doesn’t have the movement without the ball that steph has.

I got a feeling the Cavs are slowly headed in the right direction. Don’t sleep on this young man.

THE DIME DROP >>>>>>> NBA ON ESPN You are always late folks.

I hope Lebron goes back to CLE one more time and plays with these guys once he fully establishes his legacy and gets his rings. Can't rule it out. He has invested so much into his body he could play until he's 40 and I hope he does.

This kid has more Kyrie Irving than anything else. His handles are elite...and his speed and range makes him a starter year 1. He can learn as he goes.

People always want to compare anyone that can make a 3 pointer to Steph lol

Reminds me of kemba walker cause of his handles and the way he change speeds

Defence is all effort. No matter what size you are or how big you are it’s all effort, if you look at guys like Patrick Beverley he’s willing to defending anybody in the NBA whether it’s Steph Curry, LeBron, KD, etc. If Darius Garland can become an elite defender and have the toughness on the defensive end. He will be a great PG in the NBA.

Such a bold statement with very little college play. Didn’t play any top tier teams either. I do like Garland though

Lakers need shooters. They should trade this pick only for Bradley Beal or Anthony Davis. Otherwise take reddish or him. But since we already have someone like ingram and kuzma there's not really room for someone like reddish. Garland will do well with ball and bron on the court.

THATS THE GARY INDIANA TALENT 219

This is our guy, Lakers Nation!

The best shooter and ball handler in this draft facts future laker🔥this years number 4th pick

Reminds me more of Austin Rivers and Damian Lillard than Steph

Perfect for the Lakers. Him and Lonzo mask each other’s current weaknesses. Garland is ehhh on defense while Lonzo is elite. Garland is a great spot up and off dribble shooter while Lonzo isn’t too great at that currently.

Am i the only one who likes garland and hunter over barret?

His game is legit

Pelicans need to trade AD to the Lakers to get this kid and Zion as well as Kyle Kuzma and potentially Brandon Ingram... They could have a great young lineup

He’s Kyrie, Kyrie got hurt and didn’t play in college as well

@1:09 Whoa that move is legit NBA stuff.

47% for 3-pointers at Vanderbilt screams Lebron James's teammate and Klutch Sports Management team brother.

If this guy is a bust, ESPN will never be criticized. Small sample size doesn’t work. First ask the question, is he better than Markelle Fultz was?

Lebron is about to get his Mo Williams 2.0

Call me crazy but I believe Garland will turn out to be better than Ja Morant when it's all said & done. I just don't understand the Ja Morant hype he's ok but he ain't all that, ppl talk about him like he's this force and i'm like ehh. I see a more athletic Rajon Rondo with a jumpshot that needs some fixing his release is suspect imo.. I'm not hating on the kid I just think Garland is the better prospect he reminds me of Damian Lillard. Best of luck to both of them though

Lakers have to pick him. This guy is exactly what the team needs and actually deserves to go at #4, I mean, he isnt a reach.

this guy have serious b-ball skills

I'm not sold on the likelyhood of him reaching the narrator's version of him. Hope he proves me wrong though.

Y’all were right

So wouldn’t he be more Lillard than Steph? 🤦🏾‍♂️ I’ve never been too big on him...but nothing you said was a negative....it’s all things that can and will be worked on. Depending on his injury status he should be a top 5 pick and 2nd pg off the board.

Best player to ever come out of Nashville. Can’t wait to see where he ends up

Hes a high risk high reward prospect. What will make him stick in the NBA area all the things missing but what he does have are tools and characteristics that’s going to make him absolutely perfect I. Today’s NBA. Teams that draft should be patient

damn dude is quick in laker scout we trust

we have a small sample size of what he can do defensively. I'm not one to value footage from all-star games as a good source to evaluate defensive ability.

and now he's the face of the post-lebron cavs

I gotta feeling he’s gonna be better than ja or potentially best in this draft reminds me of dame but way more shifty

Please do Darius Bazley and Bol Bol

Man I want to see Zion and Garland play together. That would be lethal.

How is “baby face” an important comparison for basketball? Not hating but how?

His game is so smooth.

The Lakers better get him. If he can stay healthy. He’s gonna be a beast

Cavs are lucky to have Darius Garland as one of their foundation players to build around 💯

Btw.. I liked his fathers game when he played

David Griffin I hope u watching this this your future pg now give us Anthony Davis

Lakers fucked up by trading away the 4th pick and not taking this guy....now...he’s teaming up with Zion and he’s gonna be a stud

Reminds me of klay thompson with more movement with the ball

the way he pulls up looks exactly like Dame Lillard

The way he plays off contact , uses his shoulders and his dribble , he is going to be a top 5 PG in next few years , the Key will be Sexton becoming a much better defender which I see him as being well above average the more comfortable he becomes and learning to play off ball better and catch and shoot Garland will also be able to play off Sexton but if I'm Cavs 75% of time Garland is my primary ball handler Have to trade K Love , I love the pick and pop ability but I think Nance and Thompson for a year should start at 4 and 5 and Windler should start at SF and just go full on youth , going into next year getting a SF and A center is the key Develop Porter Into a 3 and d guy with creator ability that can be are starting 2 guard and bring Sexton off bench as 6th man playing high minutes along with windler when we do find the key piece a young high quality starting sf through draft or FA Next year will have a ton of money off the books and can keep building this team the right way , I'm excited to see this team grow and see if gm and coach has what it takes to see , and develop the tools needed to win To bad we can add Kelly Oubre Jr in FA as our starting SF he be a good fit or trade Love and Clarkson for G Hayward and something else would also be a good move to make This year need to sign a center maybe even a Javale McGee if Lakers do not resign him be a good fit as well

Someone show the pelicans this ASAP

That shot is filthy

6:31 Did my guy just slap his ass?

ESPN love buttering guys up

His is quick af

Why is he not a better prospect then Ja Morant tho? *I'd prefer a shooter who creates his own shot with some passing ability. Rather then a Passer/slasher with an okay shot. *Watches his weaknesses. Oh that's why

Steph Curry and Damian Lillard as DEEP 3-point shot makers has changed the point position forever. 😀😀😀 Darius Garland is the beneficiary !!! Lebron James could still do his POINT FORWARD routine. We all know how Draymond Green handles equal amounts of POINT FORWARD responsibilities. Damian Lillard plays OFF-THE-BALL sometimes to let C.J. McCollum handle the ball, but he can still make 3-pointers off Catch & Shoot. Defenders don't want to extend that far away from the Free Throw Line.Takes away their ability as help-defenders to protect the basket. It's like having an EXTRA 2-GUARD !!!

If the Knicks didn't have the 3rd pick, this is the guy I'd want, hands down.

Lakers need to draft him... If he can put on about 10-15 pounds of muscle, he will be a BEAST! Kid can shoot, and that's what the Lakers need. He will get better in all other areas with time.

Franchise building block? Maybe, don't want to hate on talent, but sure does seem like ESPN is doing a good job of marketing that no.4 pick to increase trade value for the lakers.

this kid is fuckin drippin out there

“with a baby face” 😂😂💀

Baby Dameeee

A bunch of casual fans in here who know very little about him calling him Jeff Teague lmao

"Tends to live off tough, contested jumpers"... they're calling his shot selection a weakness when he shot 48% from three. Idc if you're pulling up from half court- 48% is 48%

He WILL be great

I would take him before Barret!!!

Lakers can't go wrong with him or Culver

I see a lot of potential in this dude. He reminds me of a Donovan Mitchell type of player.

This guy is perfect fit for the lakers

He can be what buddy hield more than likely won’t not to take away from hield though solid player

Man how this aged Well lol

Kinda plays like D'Angelo Russel

He is a new modern guard

Will you please stop with this false narrative that it's a three player draft? This is a good analysis of Garland though.

LaKeRS DrAft nOW

New Orleans' future 3:00

Garland or culver I’ll be happy if the lakers keep the pick and draft

I want to see him on the Suns or bulls

Y’all know ball!

So nobody gonna say he reminds them of reggie Jackson same shot same handle. He plays exactly like him....

this kid already doing the harden stepback

I know they would have to trade up, but Idk if him or white is a better fit Chicago. They need to get one of the two since the rest of the core is in place

Gary, Indiana 219mstand up...gonna be a hall of famer!!

I think garland move faster with the ball then fox and I think he can be better then mourant

When tf did this happen? I was high on him a few months ago from a distance but he was always seen in the 7-11 range not 4th...

Suns, please trade up for this guy!

2:06... Get dat' shit outta here.

Ik he will be great but i think he needed another year

Peep the Smitty @ 2:01 WOW!

2:06 he got blocked on his highlight reel 😂

Do coby white next

CJ McCollum

Lakers are cheating, man. Garland looks good. Looks like a little bit of a risk though. More than Steph was

We should get him at 4💛💜

He’s Jeff Teague

He’s like Kyrie

Besides maybe kyrie idk if there are other people who played limited games and actually became what was advertised.
