He just needs to heal up, bulk up some more, and get a much better coach who utilizes his strengths as opposed to squandering them. It sucks because Boylen stems from the Popovich tree, but we never reaped those benefits due to the growing dissent Boylen planted within the locker room upon his arrival, stymieing the Bulls from blossoming into a top-seeded team. We all know Gar-Pax was at the root of it all, but now that they've been weeded out, hopefully this team can germinate into the cream of the crop........

@@JustAJok3r it's a concept from Ben's book, thinking basketball. Essentially AD has skills that are valuable on both good teams and bad teams. Isolation scoring is not a very scalable skill because bad teams need offense, so a ball dominant scorer can add a few wins. But on a good team with lots of facilitation, taking the ball away from the rest of the team to score in isolation suddenly becomes a lot less valuable. AD is filled with skills like facilitation that are extremely valuable to a good team. In terms of scalable players, think AD, Steph, LeBron, Giannis. And in terms of players who don't "scale" to high win teams as well, think Carmelo Anthony or Zach LaVine

Just got done rewatching your other vids since the season was announced to resume. Thanks Ben for the hard work as always!

This is hands down the best basketball channel on KZread, and second would be basketball time machine. I watch your videos and then play 2k22 and apply everything I learned here to the game and it actually works. Also when I watch NBA games now I always watch them from your perspective and I love it.

Ur the first channel so far for which I've decided to enable all notifications. Highest praise I can give rly.

Also -- just want to comment, this is easily the best basketball content on KZread. You actually offer insightful commentary and, unlike other channels, who show us film and tell us whether they're running "horns", "pistol action", etc without any kind of analysis. Often with a clickbait title. Bravo sir.

2 words : I love you. Another couple : Your the best in depth analyst on KZread hands down. & Trust me I seen almost all of them to know this. Keep going brother you expertise will land you somewhere great, def the most subs on this genre of youtube, but also a great career in the future. Your videos will be cemented through time as the best in dept player analysis breakdowns. Don’t stop making videos for us brother, your giving us fans and casual fans a whole new understanding to how great these players truly are. Once again, I love you.

yaay, the feeling after listening to thinking basketball podcast all day you notice there is a new video :)

This is one of the channels in which you can give a +1 without seeing of the video. Great content!

you should have more subs. i watch a ton of channels "like yours" and i gotta say you got my sub in 4 minutes. Great analysis and video editing. and just the right amount of subtle comedy.

I was lucky enough to see the Lakers Clippers game on March 8th at Staples Center, before the shutdown. When Lebron sat AD took over the offense with his scoring and passing and led the Lakers in points for most of the game. When Lebron came back in AD became more of a post up, lob threat. AD has so much versatility, and he can do pretty much anything the offense requires. This video helped make these points more clear! Great video.

Divincenzo, markedden, lavine and valenconas. Would love to see a breakdown of these dudes

Ive been watching nearly every game of AD this season. He reminds me so much of KG but with a higher lob threat. His lob catches are truly spectacular

I absolutely love this kind of content. Your channel is amazing!!!

Now you have done one on AD i curious in which group you would put him based on his past present and possibly his future.

Huh. It’s funny because i was watching the Pels sweep against the Blazers again and i was just hyper aware of how hard the lobs he has catching were- he had 2 or 3 lobs like at 1:15 where he just avoided the defense while keeping momentum by jumping with his chest perpendicular to the backboard. He does it a lot and it’s really good.

My best NBA player, by far !

Can you do a video on brad beal I’d love to see a breakdown of his scoring

Your analysis skills are commendable.

this man still has never made a bad video

This is Bill Simmon's list for what qualifies as a superstar in the NBA from Book of Basketball podcast and I 100% agree with it: - Sell tickets - Generate interest locally and nationally - Single handedly guarantee an average team 45 - 50 wins - Be the best player on a Finals team if the other pieces are in place My argument to AD has always been the fact that he cannot consistently win games let alone contend for playoff seeding. To me that is just inexcusable when people call him a "superstar". Its one thing to never make it out of the first round like Tracy McGrady but its a whole other thing when you can't even get seeded consistently like Anthony Davis. At least Tmac could get his teams into the playoffs on his own.

@t4d0W

4 жыл бұрын

Contend for playoff seeding? Dude he was the REASON why the Pelicans were in playoff conversations the past years and why they had a possible shot making it out of the 2nd round. AD in those playoff series turned it up and the obvious lack of talent around him being the culprit as to why they can only peak that much. There is no way a Pelicans squad of old ass Rondo, Jrue and other wack ass role players are winning 40+ games alone in the regular season and be a threat to take games in the playoffs. BTW the only time Tmac got to the 2nd round of the playoffs in Houston, he was INJURED.

Basketball heaven, seeing a game between the dynasty spurs plus AD, and the dynasty warriors plus Jokic

@SteveCrimialMindsFan

Ай бұрын

I think AD would fit more on the Warriors with Jokić fitting more with the Spurs. GSW's most used play is Steph/Dray high P&R with Steph blitzed before Draymond cuts inside in the 4v3 powerplay to lob it to one of the wing cutters (usually Kev & Iguodala). AD being the best lob threat of all time would make him the recipient of Dray's lob passes and it would just be a lethal combination of off ball movement and finishing.

Your analyses are on a much higher level than most KZreadrs and tv analysts. Hardly ever seen anyone pick up on that offball spin which is one of his best offensive weapons.

Thank you! Ive been sayin he is in the discussion for best player in the league for years. When hes healthy of course.
