WHAT HAPPENED to the 13 Players Drafted Before Michael Porter Jr?
Спорт
Despite falling to 14th Overall, Michael Porter Jr was selected to an a great situation in Denver, led by Nikola Jokic. MPJ made quick impact, proving to be an undeniable offensive weapon for the champion Nuggets squad. But back in 2018, why were 13 Players Considered Better Prospects than him?

And to think that Jalen Brunson was drafted at 33rd is insane that boy is balling. Great draft that year a lot of busts yet a lot of allstar calibre players and mabye a future GOAT. Great video keep them coming.

Which makes Bagley, Bamba and Knox standout as high picks who have been terrible.
That's a deep draft class
2018 is a really good draft class.
Good video. Miles bridges was suspended for an entire season and then was also suspended for 30 games this season to clarify. “As a result of the charges and sentencing, the NBA issued a 30-game suspension without pay for Bridges. The league said that 20 of the games were already considered served, as Bridges had missed the entirety of the 2022-23 season.”

Good info, thanks for fact checking this
Ayton wearing those next gen Gravity Boots at 1:43 lol

I was screaming 4 the knicks to draft Porter. We had nothing to loose at that point and yet we drafted…I forgot his name?? Kevin Knox

Ayton was a 3rd option on a finials team making him a solid 3rd option.

@@Basketreel no no he is 2 much of a above average rebounds low assists 3 pointer, low on blocks and steals, mostly pasive player... he is more catch and shoot. Superstar is one who carries, lead his team... MPJ fallows. Don't get me wrong, I love him, he is almost always part of my fantasy team

@@Basketreel Agree. But as of now he is a 3rd option
Everyone was scared of that back injury. The Nuggets are the best team in the NBA at drafting. The gamble paid off
Mpj was huge in high school, was projected to be the #1 pick. If he didnt get hurt, and went #1 or 2, he would have been labeled a bust. He does not seem to have a shot even as a all star as a reserve. Without jokic he wont have that many 3 point opportunities.

@@wl6020 he's not nearly as athletic or mobile as he used to be. Compare his movements & dunking from 2020 to now & even further in high school. His movement is slowly coming back, but not the same yet. How does his back not affect his play? His body was stiff for a long time & had to be cautious of athletic plays. How is that not affecting his play? His back injury caused foot drop in his left foot, so he's wearing a brace. Again..how is that not affecting his play? You don't have to read an article to notice the difference. He even admitted himself, his body isn't the same yet. Murray was not an all star, because the guard position is more stacked. Lauri Markannen didn't look like an all star either.

I mean the dude just averaged 23 and 10 against the Lakers on insane shooting splits, ain't not other 3rd option doing what he done in that series. regardless of the attention Jokic gets he is 6'10 and an ELITE shooter like it's not even close when it comes to his efficiency.

@@kingbubba126 without jokics passing and getting so much attention, mpj cant average that many points. He cant create his own shot like an elite player.
dariq whitehead is in the same situation with the nets. top 5 pick in HS injured in college fell to the 21st pick, i hope will be a stud for my nets
This was a dope draft.
Probably number 10 at best now, so he was really picked exactly where he should have been considering his injury at the time.
Wow what a roster
Brat nas! Super momak.
Huge of fan of curry and saw mpj at one of his camps. Started following him and gave him my Amazon prime account login hoping for smth when he made the nba 😂
I’m not sure what happened to him these past playoffs. He played like he was already in Cancun a couple of weeks before the rest of his team’s flights touched down there today.
to be fair, his drop on the draft was very understandable because he had a serious back injury then 😅
Dumb Chicago Bulls should’ve drafted him and then drafted Robert Williams later on in the draft. The guy drafted later didn’t even play.
Why you talk about porter..do you think he si better to luka trae and Alexander?
I remember a post on socmed about Mo Bamba draft stock, I'm pissed how they are hyping him up and i called him a bust then someone argue me that he will going to be HOF caliber because his speed is on par with Westbrook with a body frame of a 7-footer 🤣
Ayton got unlucky with injuries. If only there were a good way to predict injuries
This guy is from Michigan haha. He says “bag” like all of my relatives from Michigan 😂
Top 8
all i can say is that I never lost an OVER/Under when it comes to Porter's total points.
Iremember when yall were calling him a bust 😂
i think Aaron Gordon is the number 3!!!
1st, great content though man
wtf is number 13?
Bagly,mamba and Wendell Carter turn out to be below average players. Carter improved a little. He would probably be like 7th
Clippers got 2 first round picks before Porter Jr, dumb organization 😅
MPJ is top 3 baddie in his draft class 😫💯💯. 2 is definitely Zhaire Smith 😍 and 3 is Trae 🙈🙈❤️❤️ pause 🙆🏻♂️
