Domantas Sabonis was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the 11th pick of the 2016 NBA draft...but he was traded twice in one year and found himself on the Indiana Pacers. He was just considered as a throw-in when the Paul George trade happened, but he has become a legit NBA player. The Pacers have quietly developed a good young core of players, and Sabonis is going to be a huge part of their future.

And now he’s helping our Sacramento Kings improve to our best season so far in 16 seasons. Great job domas!

@deanfirnatine7814 Год назад

4 years later he is a three time All Star and is averaging over 19 points over 12 rebounds and an amazing 7+ assists per game while shooting 62% from the field on a playoff team.

DemonYellowCabbage lol pacer fan lol xdddds got rekt by cavs xdddd lolololol

@springheeledjack165 6 лет назад

Hendrix x got rekt? Dumb ass the Cavs barely won with complete bias from the refs and Lebron playing damn near 48 minutes a game. Check the free throw differential and crunch time calls. Pacers blew the cavs out twice in that series while the cavs needed everything they had to win by 3-5 points. Quit being such a homer for Lebron bro, that guy has enough homers in the NBA front office as it is.

Pacers swept golden state in the regular season. If the refs would have just did their job and Pacers got in the finals we could have at least made it a game with them.

I admit, despite his legendary father, i didn't believe in him. Now i see he is good NBA player, who can be allstar one day.

@sandernista6499 6 лет назад

Deflandre He was in a shitty situation with Westbrook and a terrible coach in Billy Donovan who turned Sabonis into a 3 point shooter... Oladipo became an allstar as soon as left OKC

@Esoeso933 6 лет назад

+Ryan Lajara U are so fried lmao decent starter? Man u need to watch basketball more

@christiancayabyab5899 6 лет назад

Deflandre lets talking about it, maybe he come him in the bench in a playoff team. He is going to be perfect if Sabonis went career is long about 15 or 20 years.

@Darty555 6 лет назад

I agree with Andy, Sabonis is a good solid player but the Pacers performance on the court really dips when both he and Turner are on the court together. A lot of the Pacers worst defensive lineups include them both starting so it will be interesting to see how the Pacers can reallocate minutes next season

@kinger7261 6 лет назад

I really hope the pacers get this figure out because they both love playing in Indy and the Indy fans love both of them add that they are 21 years old, it can't get better than that

@stkthefirst3463 6 лет назад

Also, this is one of the reasons why Billy Donovan should be fired.

@Darty555 6 лет назад

King.ER7 King.ER7 Exactly the Pacers have a bright future with both of them as long as they can figure out the right lineup changes they can really become one of the best teams in the East

@christiancayabyab5899 6 лет назад

Daiton more interesting.

@FecalMatador 6 лет назад

How does it affect the defense? I don’t live in Indiana so I can’t catch all their games, but they seemed to be a pretty solid defensive team and Turner is a legit shot blocker who is more than mobile enough to stay on the perimeter. I’m genuinely curious

@jin_jinius 4 года назад

Now, He is an all star.

If Arvydas Sabonis had not been injured he would have been an MVP

@arnas5027 6 лет назад

Waki Crespo Sabonis was in his 30’s when he came to the NBA, rarely do you see people above 30 win MVP...Sabonis winning MVP would have been possible but I wouldn’t guarantee it. If he would have come to the US as a 20-25 year old I would’ve guaranteed you at least one MVP.

@sandernista6499 6 лет назад

Arnas N He was already injured and banged up when he came to the states. If he was fit, he could definitely have won an MVP at the age of 30. He was still decent even as an old guy with multiple injuries. I'm sure hed be at least a borderline allstar level if he was fit.

@stpbasss3773 6 лет назад

Yup in his 20s he was the goat but he didn't play in the states then and a lot of people have no clue how good he was because they didn't see him play.

@vytautaslapinskas2171 5 лет назад

Andy, great vid as always. Can u please consider doing a 'How Good was Arvydas Sabonis?' video. Really curious about how good he was compared to those top centres, like Shaq.

@AndyHoops 6 лет назад

yeah I'll consider it, although it's hard to tell...if only Sabonis came to the NBA sooner

@rlgiglio 6 лет назад

If Sabonis went to the NBA at a young age and kept away of injuries, he would be on the conversation for GOAT. If he played his career in today's NBA, it might possibly be no conversation for who's the GOAT might be. His game was pure basketball pleasure

He would have easily be better than Shaq. If Yao Ming had more size and a 3pt shot he would be a poor man Sabonis.

@pascualfernandezripoll6202 5 лет назад

He moved to Spain at a really young age, played in the academy’s teams of a euro League team. It is the same thing that happened with Doncic they were part of the organization of a professional team, but they didnt play against a high level, professional team until they turned 16. Its just that in Spain all the professional teams, have many “academy “ teams, good players dont play in their highschools.

@geneanotado 4 года назад

Arvydas was denied his prime in the NBA by politics. His son is just living the American dream. And balling like a boss.

@emilkoch4098 3 года назад

Awesome video!!! I'm waiting for Charles, Ernie, Shaq and Kenny from Inside the NBA to have a segment on him. He's averaging 20.3 ppg, 11.2 rbg , 6.2 apg so far in 2021!!!!. His stats mirrors his father's stats in his prime back in the 80's. He'll be a much better player I think in the NBA than his dad was!!!. Second generation NBA Player.

@MarquisdeSuave 5 лет назад

He's got one of the best post games in the NBA today. He reminds me a lot of Kevin McHale or Vin Baker, a guy who utilizes a vast repertoire of finesse moves and bully bumps to get to the basket. He's never going to be Kevin McHale defensively but he definitely will be in the conversation for future all-star games.

@rashb3994 6 лет назад

Even though his numbers didn't show it, I thought he was efficient on OKC. I only watched a few of their games that year but whenever I watched he was hitting everything and wasn't making too many mistake. I kind of thought he was underrated. But good to see other people giving him his props. I think with his outside he can play some 3 on offense. I thought has was a 4 that feels like that should be his natural position.

@anzelatoleikyte2083 4 года назад

@larzenasaytono4332 2 года назад

Sabonis is now a Sacramento Kings player

@LLawliet-tv9ig 6 лет назад

Sabonis really improved his game when he joined the Pacers along with Oladipo. Yes, the real question is can Sabonis and Turner play together. That's a tough question. As much as I like Turner, Sabonis actually played pretty well when Turner was injured. He played so well to the point where I thought he could even replace Myles Turner............Sabonis hustles and play tough basketball when he has to which makes him a very valuable player on the Pacers. However, Turner has more potential and also play better defense so he should definitely be in the starting lineup. Personally, I think the only downside of starting both players is that now the Pacers bench don't really have a solid backup center and their bench will be even worse on defense. Just imagine a starting lineup of: Darren Collison, Victor Oladipo, Tyreke Evans, Domantis Sabonis, and Myles Turner!!!!! That's a scary sight!

1st season - eeeh, who is he? But shows some potential to become a decent reserve player. 2nd season - shows potential to become a decent 6th man. 3rd season - one of three candidates to win 6th man award. 4th season - here you are, a legit all-star double-double machine with few triple-doubles already. If he keeps improving and stays healthy, he could be a 20-10-4 star for the next 5-7 seasons.

@andriuscybas7 4 года назад

Arvydas Sabonis ir Domantas Sabonis is NBA stars 🏀🇱🇹

@mr10tomidnight 4 года назад

If Sabonis had joined the Portland TrailBlazers around 1988 or 1989 I have no doubt Portland would have been able to upset the Chicago Bulls in 1992. They were so close with their team of Clyde Drexler, Cliff Robinson, Terry Porter, and Buck Williams. I don't think Chicago would know what to do with a 7'3 center that could shoot three pointers lights out. He could easily shoot over their best defenders like Horace Grant, Scott Pippen, and Michael Jordan. Their centers like Bill Cartwright, Will Perdue, Scott Williams, and Stacey King would have to be chasing him at the three point line which would take them away from their inside game of collecting rebounds which they were good at. His large body and shot blocking abilties would have prevented those Chicago centers from making those easy buckets. Sabonis would have caused Chicago many mismatches.

@spyretto 4 года назад

Even better if he had joined them in 1986 when he was drafted he would have been one of the all-time NBA centers. That was before his Achilles injury. Too bad politics didn't allow it.

@springheeledjack165 6 лет назад

Aileen Bularan He is basically a coach with the Pacers. The NBA completely changed style of play and a slow plodding old school center does not fit in the modern NBA. He also got old and out of shape.
