WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 11 YEAR OLD PRODIGY... JASHAUN AGOSTO?!

Спорт

Jashaun Agosto was the FIRST EVER grade school basketball star! Most basketball fans can recall the news segment he was in, and the appearance he made on The Ellen Show. He was a viral sensation 15 years ago, but fast forward to now, and most people have COMPLETELY forgot about him…
In this video I will be going through EVERYTHING that has happened in Jashaun’s life since he first went viral in 2007!

    The problem with many of these child prodigies is that basketball is a sport where being tall, fast, and very athletic is necessary to compete at the highest level. And at 10 years old, it's hard to tell whether or not a kid will possess these attributes when they hit puberty and become a teenager and adult. If you only grow to be 5 ft 8 and aren't that quick, well then it's going to be really hard to become a pro basketball player.

    Remember in HS there was a kid everyone called phenom, he was really good at basketball. He even made it to ucla team as a walk on. I met up with him, 15 years later and asked why he never took his game to the next level. And he simply responded that he didn’t want to play anymore, the desire and motivation wasn’t there. But he loved engineering, and everything about it. It just goes to show that to really make it, your mind has to be 100% on the sport. Clearly he had different ideas and good on him, he’s an engineer and doing what he loves to do

    True but the hype on him was he was a future NBA Allstar and he wasn't even good enough to get picked up as an undrafted free agent playing in G-League. He worked very hard and maximized his talents and for that he can be applauded and admired but this kid is a prime example of the difference between KZread hype and reality. KZread basketball hype of young kids almost never equates to an NBA contract and in most cases they don't even play at the D1 level..

    Allen Iverson, at 5'11", 160lbs, was one of the best scoring guards of the late 90s and early 2000s, but he also had world class athleticism: an explosive first step, a pure jump shot, and superb agility. If you don't have AI, Kemba, or Lowry type skills, it becomes very difficult to play point guard at the professional level. Agosto hit his ceiling given his athletic genes.

You not only need to be skilled but have a few extraordinary talents such as speed, quickness, strength, agility, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Those factors are equally important and in most cases their in the genes.

For him to enter his name after one year, there shows you somebody tremendously mislead that kid into how talented he was and how he was perceived. Unfortunately @ 5'11 out of a mid-major he wasn't going to be one of 64 players drafted, period. And 4 full years there makes it that more obvious how important those 4/5 inches were to have gotten back in high school. Not for everyone.....he made lemonade from 🍋.....good for him.

    Watching videos like this makes me laugh hard as hell... at myself. When I was a kid, you couldn't tell me I wasn't going to the NBA. And I didn't have a fraction of this kids talent, nor did I put in even a drop of the work he did. That he was as gifted, grinded the way he did, and still his playing career came to nothing? Shows how little I knew about what it takes to make it. Not a clue. Also makes you appreciate and respect even the "sorriest' bench rider in the NBA. There really are levels to this. Young me is hilarious.

    Sure, his NBA dreams didn’t materialize like he hoped, nut like my guy said he could have easily have gone pro over seas if he wanted. And, with what he accomplished in HS & college, I wouldn’t say that his playing career amounted to nothing. I understand what you’re saying, just adding a bit of nuance.

    The NBA is the best of the best players. They can fully afford to hold out for a taller player with similar skills over a shorter one that may not get any better at the next level. A 5'11" PG in the NBA has to be a monster on defense, either have off the hook assists or a very high 3pt % and great ball handling skills. The player in question Augusto was solid in all those areas at the D1 level but not superior in any of them. Another interesting observation is his stats pretty much remained the same his Junior and Senior years. His stats were decent but just not at an NBA level coming out of D1 and no improvement tells me his development peaked in college. NBA teams won't risk drafting a player like that when better proven options are available. Mac McClung is another one having problems exactly like that, only he has had his chances x4 to make the NBA (failed each time) and is 6'1" not 5'11.

    I met Jashaun when he was 12 years old he was teammates with Shrely Swoops' son, Jordan. He was a very respectful young man and an amazing player. He's from Seattle and I've watched him play AAU and High School ball. He handled the attention extremely well and I knew his only downfall was his height. Even so, he was never a liability. Unlike his counterpart Julian Newman. Jazhaun had NO problem passing the ball! It's clear he went a lot further with his basketball career. Ture Newman has a show; that show is based on lies and BS drama. That's what happens when you sell your kids for fame! I have nothing but the utmost respect for Jashaun Agosto!

    I mean it's good he had the work ethic. The parents should've also gotten him involved in other things. All the skills in the world won't matter when 6'8 Kid shows up that is stronger and faster. A pro team is going to take that guy because they can teach him to play basketball (ie Giannis, Siakam). I coach and see parents do it to their kids a lot. Some don't even seem to be having fun...
