I think hes a very risky pick, but one of the few guys in the class who can become an all star

@crispyasfuck2856 Месяц назад

We don't need another 6th man like Luke kennard. And look at donovan mitchell now. We do this every year

@calebgothro247 Месяц назад

I think that’s the best way to describe him. If his jumpshot is actually as bad as the stats suggest it would be tough for him to be a good player in the league but his form looks functional

@Htiy Месяц назад

@@calebgothro247 if it gives you any more confidence about him, He did shoot 45% from 3 in high school.

@stpwned Месяц назад

@@Htiy That makes things worse imo. His shooting dropped significantly when his level of competition increased. I think that's a really bad sign. The level of competition will increase quite a bit more from G-League to NBA too. I don't think that's a positive at all.

or be the biggest bust in nba history

@charlescohen6140 Месяц назад

The one game I saw him in was a tight one in which he got to the rebounds and loose balls quickly, to me a very important quality. I sense he will go surprisingly high.

Great video, have you ever thought of making a video about the best fits, for the teams that are in the lottery

@UsualCase Месяц назад

Love the take. His athleticism, fluidity, and touch on his shot definitely pass the eye test imo. He’s not the same, but I don’t think he’s miles away from Cooper Flagg, either. Lots of potential as a 19 year old kid.

@mindaugaspetraitis4055 Месяц назад

He'll be a good perimeter defender. Dude is not mainly looking to score, but he can do that easily. He said he looks up to McDaniels, and that says a lot about him. I really hope he ends up in a good system, because only then will we see his true value in the long term. If he goes to a team looking for an instant superstar, they will burn this talent. As a basketball country known for its fundamentals, I think Lithuania can vouch for him being really talented.

1 minute into the video and already earned sub. Great content/structure.

Hes a Blazer. I definitely didn't sneak into a Washington Wizards game in September 2018

@shantoochee2038 Месяц назад

#4 to San Antonio Spurs

@Aboleo80 Месяц назад

I think he is going to be kinda like Andrei Kirilenko

@streettoughfighting Месяц назад

Look forward to see how he grows with an nba strength training program and some high level coaches to dial in his skills. Think at very least will be a solid role player.

@chulow9024 Месяц назад

Keldon Johnson's replacement for my Spurs for sure.

@Justfranktbh Месяц назад

Cause where will he ho

@robertpina7345 12 дней назад

@motownmadness3807 Месяц назад

I think he goes to Detroit at #5

@OwskiiiGaming 10 дней назад

Spurs at 4.

Since I feel Risacher will be gone by #3, Im seeing Buzelis fit pretty well with this rockets core. Amen, Green, Buzelis, smith Jr., and Sengun, Tari, and whitmore to work along our Veterans. LFG

@charlescohen6140 Месяц назад

Derek, a question I always pose; Where would Ousmane go if he were in this draft? This something that will influence OKC.

@ReeseC07 Месяц назад

Reminds me of franz

@christianmusicplug Месяц назад

Could he go to Houston at 3 or is that to high?

@colin1818 Месяц назад

Possible. But I have to question if they'd pass on Risacher in favor of Buzelis. It's very possible, but Risacher is typically rated higher.

@kylegabriel5794 Месяц назад

matas...YOU ARE a detroit piston

@jpsatre Месяц назад

The problem with Matas is he doesnt know what he wants to be in offense. In life if you are not really good, you have to have an ELITE skill to be a good foundation for a succesful career. Same goes for Matas in basketball.

@stanleed.harold5457 Месяц назад

He's 19

@romfronda4758 Месяц назад

Do Risacher

@khymitchell2196 Месяц назад

I could see someone trading up to get him I think sarr or this guy could go # 1

@Glotaku Месяц назад

He’s giving a taller young Paul George

@-KFAD- Месяц назад

I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. I don't buy into his upsides. And right now his efficiency is abysmal. There are many lottery prospects who need to improve 1-2 areas of their game to become positive contributors in the NBA. I feel Buzelis needs to improve almost in all areas. And even if he does, I feel there are higher upside players in this class. He is a solid lottery pick but he would be at the bottom of the lottery for me (9-14th pick).
