Have y’all realize everyone except for Rozier improved through coaching changes? Shows how valuable player development is.
Lauri is extremely talented he can be an all-star if given the opportunity. I think he still needs more plays run for him. He is still a catch and shoot player. To me he can be much more than that if he can attack the rim more get to the free throw line then he can average over 20 ppg not to mention he is also a pretty good rebounder. His downside is obviously his defense which is something he needs to improve on.

For some of these younger guys, I really think it’s about how fast we want the next big thing. We need to give these players time. Unless you’re a Luka, or Zion (legit generational talent) you need time regardless of draft position.

If not for that minutes restriction for his first games back. John Wall would actually be in serious All-Star contention. 20.9 PPG, 5 REB, and 6 AST.
All right let’s get it started with another dope Andy Hoops video on a Saturday
Lauri has superstar potential for sure, he just doesn't get enough touches. Players who become superstars need time to feel the ball and gain confidence. He has the shooting, driving and handles to average 30 on good efficiency

The idea that Lauri ONLY got better this year because he felt pressure is a very damning statement. Butler pushed himself to get better EVERY year, and he became a GREAT player. If Lauri gets a new multi-year contract, what makes you think he won't settle back into his old habit of just coasting??? Lauri just wants to tread water, instead of winning the race.

He ain’t wrong
So glad that Lauri is playing really good right now. He wasn't able to have the freedom to create his offense last season due to Boylen's awful coaching making him a spot up shooter. He's having just 1.7 higher USG rate this season yet he producee way better. A good coach really make a difference. He's also being way aggressive and playing defense with an effort. Really proud of this Bulls team.
I think the reason Markkanen’s numbers were down last year because Boylen was forcing to change his play style. Boylen had him playing as a face-up center when he’s more of a stretch. That’s why Donovan let him do his thing

I was really hating on this rozier contract. glad for him that he proved me wrong
I don't think the Pacers fans had doubts with Brogdon. His only issue is staying healthy. He hasn't been healthy for a full season in his career. So far he's been healthy this year and thats why he's been back to his old self.

Well Markkanen just became an All-Star in 2023 with the Jazz and he clearly proved his doubters wrong in particular the infamous GarPax tandem who were no longer part of the Bulls' intercircle anymore as far as running the front office that is.
Andy the 🐐
Jim Boylen is almost the entire reason that Lauri Markkanen was trash last year lol, he literally said in interview that it Markkanen wanted more minutes he should grab more defensive rebounds, also, he missed a lot of time due to injuries and he added 15-20 pounds of muscle and it noticeably changed his shot form.
He was on this last year but Andrew Wiggins has a fantastic start to this year again. He also looks more engaged defensively then he’s ever been. Will he stay consistent the whole season who knows but right now he’s had a great start to this year
the lavert trade isone of the greatest trades in NBA history...it literally could have been life saving.

They're overlooked
Christian Wood should not miss from that video
Not having Andrew Wiggins on here is kinda weird. Dude went from a defensive liability on bad shooting splits to an incredibly efficient Lockdown monster. His defensive numbers exceed DPOY Kawhi. In a league where a dude just got 40 a year for being all defense and no offense, 30 million for an 18 ppg guy on great shooting splits with incredible defense isn't bad whatsoever. Dude completely changed his narrative

As a Celtics fan, I love Kemba, but I also would’ve loved to sign Rozier and used the rest of the money not used for a max to sign solid supporting pieces
Man I wish Wall played alongside Harden and Cousins, it would have been a very cool team
I wanted to cry when the wizards traded wall. As a kentucky and wizards fan it was a dream to see wall and cousins team up just disnt wanna see it in houston, doesnt help when they traded him for my least favorite pg in the NBA
Great content. I am an avid fan of your youtube channel. Can you create 2021 Spurs and future plans of the team.
If Rozier's killing it and I'm Charlotte, I don't give him away anytime soon unless someone MUCH better comes along at the same or lower price. They have a true pg in Ball, a true sg in Rozier, a true sf in Hayward, a true pf in p.j. washington, and just need rim protection and put-backs out of a center. It's so rare these days that teams really have as many as four guys at their natural positions that it's worth seeing what they can do with that in the weak East. They're 8-11 which is contending in the East. They should roll with it. If they get into the playoffs they're a little more attractive to free agents, if they miss they've got a lottery pick. Win-win.

As a Hornets fan I can say Terry is a really good player. My only issue with him is that he doesn’t really take shots in the first and if he misses he gets quiet till the third. From what I saw
Every Celtics fan always knew Terry worth every penny in the deal with Charlotte. This isn't a surprise really if you do search what was capable of do Terry as a starting point guard, remember that Kyrie was healthy and he was starting on the Celtics in his last year there, and because of that his stats and time on the court, drop. But in the previous playoffs that Kyrie got hurt, we see the real "scary terry". Again, this is not a surprise at all if you looked closely what was capable of do in his time in Boston. Pd: Sorry for bad english not my native language
I wish Evan Turner was one of these guys. He began to show some promise in his career.
Julius randle has been very good for the last few years, on a good team I think he could be a great player
Thank goodness Tobias at least still come out with the W career wise this season. He plays up to this contract and helps the 76ers get to 1st in the Conference...only to have it all pissed away by Ben Simmons.
