this guy clearly does not watch rockets games

You have to value shooting, amen got drafted bc he's a 6'7 point guard. Great, he has size and can grab you rebounds but he's a liability ATM bc his shooting % resembles that of a center in the 90s

Amen getting that low of a grade because the Rockets have a ton of depth, his time will come when they need him. Averaging 6 ppg as a rookie coming off the bench isn’t the worst thing.

A little biased here but I think the Anthony Black grade was a little harsh. He came into a situation where he was likely going to ride the bench with 3-4 guards ahead of him in the lineup, but due to injury, he's played major minutes. At 19 years old, he's been one of the best defenders on the team, shot a much better than expected 36% from 3, and found ways to be effective despite none of the offense being run through him. Counting stats don't impress, but from someone who has watched him all season, I'd give him at least a B.

Amen definitely isnt a fair grade, out of the first 5 pick only Houston is attempting to make it to playoff so the rookies doesn't get much time

Scoot is a D+ thus far. Can't say his play has been worthy of a passing grade

Scoot got torched in his debut game against the star-studded Clippers. Those vets did their best to shake the rookie point guard. Scoot has proven a number of things since... 1.) Scoot has a great head on his shoulders. He has the internal confidence and strength to rebound from that opening beat down and the cold streak that followed. His internal strength shows incredible maturity and leadership potential for this 19 year old. 2.) Scoot has an incredible physical presence. Scoot has man-child muscles everywhere and shows how solid he is anchoring on defense not getting pushed around, and how explosive he is, with strong dunks and athletic explosive finishes. And, 3.) Scoot is a play-making guard FIRST, not just a scoring lead guard, I expect Scoot to be a great assist man his whole career. It is so exciting to see a young guard like this be able to get everyone involved and show solid decision making. I love Scoot, admittedly from a cold start, he is proving to be an exciting prospect. B+ from this Blazers Fan who watches the games.

Good video 🔥

the grade for amen is crazy considering ausar is a B. theres not a single thing ausar does better than amen. amen is behind fred van vleet who makes 40 million a year and he’s a rookie point guard on a near .500 team. ausar is on the worst team in the league and can barely find minutes there. amen has looked really good in his limited minutes (which are positive!) on both sides of the ball. i think amen should be a B and ausar should be a C. he should definitely be graded above scoot

Never forget what this guy said about Brandon Miller and the hornets after the draft and at the start of the season. You owe them an apology lmao.

I love the video. Is it too much work to grade the 1st round since this draft was pretty deep.

Yup, literally just as Rozier left he went to another level. He keeps this up, his grade will be A+ despite being the no.2 pick.

Cason Wallace has been very good

Weird question, but what’s the name of the background music you use?

Wallace has been great.

Lively jjj and Hawkins should have been top 10 imo

Scoot will be set by his 3rd season, nice to see him improve what was an underwhelming start to the year he'll get there

Brandon Miller the truth tho

Jarace walker is avg great numbers in the G league hope it translates to the league soon. don’t sleep on that boy

I feel that it is a generally week draft if you forget n one pick

Brandon miller at B+ is atrocious should be A+ easily. And scoot at C is terrible very generous😂

Should do a top 20 cause players like Jordan Hawkins have been balling compared to most of the top 10 guys

I am sorry, but Scoot has been terrible. 39% from 2, 29% from 3, with 5 TOs and 5 fouls per 100 possessions is next level terrible. Over the past 20 years of lottery picks there have been only 2 other guys who put up numbers like that in their rookie year. Jared Bayless and Killian Hayes. His net rating of -30 is legendary. He has no left hand, can't defend, and is at best an okay athlete. Sure he is getting better recently, but that is not hard to do. Also I do not care how long his arms are, he is undersized and it is hurting him.

Where would Jaquez go in a redfraft? He's an older prospect, but he's been the 2nd best player from this draft by a mile...

Derek lively should be a A+. Dallas is becoming lob city now, Scoot should be a B-. We had understood that he didn’t have the best jump shot in the ignite. 41% from the field and 28% from three. And while the stats say he could be bad. Scoot is a decent defender and highly athletic and also worked on his shot. People say he is a bad shooter but when you watched one of the Bucks at Blazers where the blazers had won 119-116 you he had 15 points and 6 assists on good shooting.

Can we get the same grade list for rest of draft?

Wemby might mess around and become DPOY as a rookie.

Give Walker time he’s a monster

Holy shit I’ve been watching this channel for about a year and this dude glazes scoot so hard

With all the hype around this class it's a let down. Wimbey is crazy good but the Thompson twins and Scoot are flat with games that are seriously not ready for the NBA. The rookies who came out of the G-league are 2 full steps behind the college guys and it's pretty clear that taking the cash with the Ignite is a very bad developmental choice. They aren't made to fight for minutes and they are not coached by elite coaches who can help mold their game and teach them to play in a system that benefits them. They last few drafts that have the G-league guys picked have all been bust or very close to it. Houston has 2 top 5 picks from the Ignite and so far they aren't anywhere near as good as advertised. The Magic made 2 bad picks in this draft and even though they are playing good they really need to make a couple trades if they want to actually make a playoff run. They have a couple stars and a deep bench but they need some more help in the low post and rim protection Wendell Carter ain't going to cut it and if they are going to keep a good record and keep winning trades must be made. The Hornets made the right pick in Miller and I think in the next couple years he will grow into a 22 to 25 points per game average on the wing and they can build around Miller and Ball they need to trade Terry Rozier because he doesn't fit their time line and they could get some younger guys or picks for him. I think Rozier would be a great fit on the Lakers, Grizzlies, Pacers, or Mavericks and they could get him for a reasonable price. Sacramento Kings are also a good team but they are not a complete team and they need help. I'm glad they didn't make the Siakam/Raptors trade because they don't need 2 Sabonis's and that what they would have had they traded for Siakam. The 76ers need to get help for Embiid and Maxey but there aren't a lot players available right now. There has to be a few more big trades out there because there are so many teams that are in serious need.

As a Portland fan, I am still befuddled at what everyone sees in Scoot.

Scoot should be B- bro got like 4 players ahead of him tryna find a way

Surprised title of video isnt what top ten pick from 2023 draft is about to bust hard all over

Feel like scoot can get a D+ or C-, somewhat promising as a future all-star but he's had his ups and downs. When you watch hornets games a lot, you feel like giving BM a B+ or A-, even though the counting stats might have him at like a B- or B.

dont do top 10 do the lottery. JHawkins is cooking

Brandon Miller is an A easily and will be way more than a 3 and D player. That makes me question your basketball knowledge. Also B Miller has plenty of flash to his game

I think Bilal should have been a B+ or an A considering what was expected of him coming into the season.
