Yup! Yup! Watasanity!!!

No

Only problem I see is that his position and what he does overlaps with Siakam. He is doing well though, I like how he always looks to push the ball and make plays for his teammates.

Yeah I hope he develops more. Maybe he'll be good. But with most of the regular players out on both sides. For this game he was to be one of the main players for the Raps, and he put up good offensive numbers, but got doomed by poor defense for a blowout loss. It looked almost like a pre-season game during mid-season

It was a weird game of two teams playing mostly a small number of bench players and mostly G league players against each other. Yuta, Boucher, Svi and Delano didn't live up to it and lost badly by 40 or so points. Yuta showed good offensive numbers but got preyed upon on the defensive side of things. Normally, as I fan, I'd be happy to see him getting a 20+ point and 10+ rebound performance, but the results were so bad.

😂

He was a starter because the Raps had no starter players due to Covid/health and safety protocols. He was one of the main guys to rely on along with Chris Boucher and Svi. The rest were mostly G league players. And he played a team of mostly G league players too - and unfortunately lost by around 40 points.

​@@chongqinger They lost to Garland, Rubio, Markkanen, Wade, Love, and Valentine who combined for 114 points. None of those guys are G league players. Just felt your last sentence was a little unfair lol, especially considering the Raps were missing practically everyone.

@@lucasfetters3482 The score was a difference of a country like Korea losing to the USA by that amount. Garland is good. And some of the other guys are Ok. Cleveland had only about half of their regulars. The Raptors giving up 144 points is embarrassing.

@@chongqinger I definitely agree that they shouldn't be getting trounced like that, but I also don't think Yuta is like LBJ or someone who can hard carry the roster they had playing, but I still think he has mad potential to be a really solid player. I just watch a lot of Cavs games, so I was like waittttt, those guys playing are definitely on a whole different level than most of who the Raps were playing that night.

@@lucasfetters3482 not did I mention he should play like LeBron. He and 3 other regular Raptors, I think, who were part of that bad loss. Almost by 50 points. It's hard to praise a Raptor that night

11-20 field goal

Not bad for rookie player

@@mr.fadeduck4334 ?? this is like his 4th year

@@mr.fadeduck4334 That's pretty good field goal

I know what you meen. He sometimes do a careless turnover, especially while dribbling. He should improve his handling skills and will be able to become a more solid player I guess

I dunno bout all-star personally but I wanna see him be a consistent starter for sure

No all star yet. But a solid basketball player

And what is that reason? Some teams tank on purpose indirectly. But he is a feel good story. And I hope he actually does become good. But I'm still unsure. This game should not be something he fully feels proud of. He was expected to the main guy on the Raptors with most of the team out and playing with G league players. And he played against a team with mainly G league players and lost badly. His offensive numbers were good, but losing by 40 points or so isn't that good.

@@chongqinger exactly what I was thinking, videos edited like this can be misleading... I noticed the score around the 3rd quarter... He has size and a good handle for a big, blocks shots rebounds.... the lefty thing never seems to work out wonder if he is ambi.... Raptors develop players in a different way tho so maybe he will be a legit starter in that system... conditioning seems suspect too..

@@RickyHil I think hes a true lefty yo, check those three pointers he be makin

@Mark Seino wow I never thought about that... are you saying a lefty release has a distinct look kinda like a lefty swing in baseball as opposed to if u mirrored It? If so, what is the reason for that, Gravity? Always drove me crazy..

@@RickyHil I'm not sure bro. Interesting thought tho. For lay-ups I feel like it could throw players off because in the heat of the moment they go to block it like they always would and its not often that u practice blocking a lefty maybe??

He's with Brooklyn now

And only lost by 50.

​@@Nick-sl1qr They signed 3 10 day contract guys because of Covid and only had 9 players! Those guys minus Yuta and Boucher never played together and were only briefed about a few plays while on the plane! The fact that they could even play together is a miracle! It'd take a superstar, Kobe-like performance of 50pts from Yuta to make up for the lack of talent and disadvantage of random guys thrown together!

I love Yuta a lot but he still definitely isn't worthy to be a starter on this team. We're already going to have the issue of not knowing who to start between Trent, Barnes, Siakam, OG, and whatever center is healthy. So Yuta isn't going to be a starter for sure, but he can still be a huge part of this team as a very good role player.

It is good to see Yuta play well tonight and set a new career high in points. It is nice to see him bring the ball up the court and be a playmaker. I was expecting him to score a lot given the roster we had today. I am glad he made the best from this opportunity. He showed that he is more than just a spot up 3 point shooter on offense. I like the versatility of his offensive game today. Maybe he can start again for the next game against the 76ers even if the Raptors get Pascal back. He should definitely start and finish over Svi or Boucher for the next game. By the way, Yuta should have been credited with 2 blocks in today's game, not 1 block.

DONT FORGET VANVLEEET!!

6th man with 25-30 consistent minutes and ball handling while still developing to a starting spot would be much better than anything any team has ever given him! Yuta is not a 3&D player he's a SG/SF player with PF size! Yuta needs ball handling, bring the ball up and a pass near the top of the key to bring the ball up to play well and fast breaks. 6th man spot will allow him to start as well as lead the bench as SG/PG when KD or Irving are resting.

It's Slam Dunk if you really want to credit an Anime.

I know eh, always with that watanabeeee. Lets get it right eventually yooooo

@@Toshio_77 I've heard many pronounce his name as watanabae even for FIBA when it's supposed to be watanabee....😂
