Where would Scottie & Cade go in the 2021 NBA RE-Draft?



Where would Scottie & Cade go in the 2021 NBA RE-Draft?

Welcome to pensari basketball’s 2021 NBA redraft I can’t watch the Pistons suffer anymore it’s hard man they were up by 21 against the Boston Celtics and they still managed to lose that game somehow and I believe that the only way to end this whoops had myself on on the other

Computer that’s going to be nice Little Blooper there I believe the only way to end the suffering for the Detroit Pistons is to build a time machine and to make a different decision than the one they did on that faithful day in 2021 now Bleacher Report released their version

Of the 2021 draft in which their redraft has Scotty Barnes going number one Evan Mobley France fogner alrin shenon Kade Cunningham Austin Reeves you can tell my my indignation on that one Josh giddy Jaylen green Trey Murphy II thiri Jaylen Suggs Jaylen Johnson Jonathan kaminga

Herb Jones and cam Thomas I did not like this I did not like this redraft and I complained so much about it someone said hey Rob if you don’t like it make your own absolutely so I’ve made a very creative effort to make a dynamic interesting with the bells and whistles

Redraft and we’re g to go through it we’re gonna go one through 20 from 12 to 20 it’s going to be kind of like not very bells and whistly it’s just going to be a screen and it’s going to I’m going to talk you through what I like

About those players but I think that this is the only way now what breaks my heart is Scotty Barn’s not going to fall to four in my redraft and that means the Raptors miss out on him and I’m a raptor fan so obviously I am happy with the

Results of the original 2021 draft but hey this is a redraft for a reason so we’re going to get to it first let’s look at quick quick look at the analytics profile of these players okay so in terms of valueable replacement which is a pretty good barometer for

What we’re going to be looking at today Scotty Barnes Evan Moy ALR shenon indeed the top three players from this draft class on very different trajectories though um France Wagner and Trey Murphy rounding out this list you know you got Kade Cunningham all the way at the

Bottom number 14 right now I don’t think everything is about numbers clearly we have to use our eye test we have to project we have to look at player types we have to look at the situation these players are in you know Kate is not in the same situation as herb Jones herb

Jones is you know he’s 22 years old coming into the draft Austin Reeves was 23 coming into the redraft putting Austin Reeves right here at seven is is criminally insane quite or six my God six they put them as high as they possibly could you know these guys they

Love to throw Austin Reeves into that conversation there very nice player very good player very difficult to compare a 26y old to a 22y old I’ll tell you that so keep everything in mind player types growth curve athletic potential if two players are even the size decide I think

It should okay first of all let’s give this video a like I would super appreciate it also I want to give a very very small thank you to this community over the last three weeks I’ve been tracking it some of you have heard about this last year I made a goal for myself

At the end of this year I wanted the Toronto Raptors sorry I wanted pens basketball lives to be the number one postgame show on the Tron Raptors pushed for it never missed a single game did it rain shine sick well not sick didn’t matter did it every single time did my

Best lost my mind a couple times last year got mad at some guests got a little bit toxic got a little bit heated got a little bit negative tried to grow got better guess what over the last three weeks you this community have made pensar basketball the number one Toronto

Raptors postgame live I don’t know if it’ll continue but for three weeks it’s a win I’ll take it we have the longest lives we have the absolute longest lives we have the most liked lives we have the most super chatted lives we have the most super stickered lives we have the

The most frequently engaged lives yo this is crazy you guys are doing this I’m not really doing this I’m just here I’m talking until I’m mic but really Rain shine whether this team has been bad whether the interest has been bad or good you guys are here I appreciate it

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart it was a really important thing for me it’s really difficult to counter a media narrative if you’re getting 800 views and they’re getting 8,000 views it’s a 10 to one so to beat the Toronto Raptor’s own postgame live and we don’t

Got chicken wings we don’t got beer we don’t got four guys being paid to talk out their ass we don’t have any of that okay the number of postgame live shows that there are for the Sha Raptors is insane this is a bigger media Market

There are a lot of people who do this and yeah to to to to get the most views out of all that is is absolutely humbling thank you thank you thank you so much all right okay let’s let’s get to it let’s let’s do it let’s do the

Redraft okay this is going to be this is cool cool uh cool format I think all right I’m make myself small and let’s get that chatter all right so on the board are the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Pistons are really bad that’s how they got the

Number one overall pick and they need everything but more more than anything they really need a big playmaker they really need this they need a culture Setter they need a leader they need a player who can grow they really seem to fancy this Luca donic player type they

Want to they want a big Wing guard who can TBL set their whole offense they want a guy who’s two-way they want a guy who can drag the Pistons back they want a guy who the Detroit fans can identify with they want they want a superstar as as you

Should you’re drafting number one you should want a superstar there’s a lot of talk about Kade Cunningham and jayen green these are the guys these are the guys number one but you know what I’m the Detroit Pistons I’m Troy Weaver and apparently I’ve decided to go in a different

Direction I am getting my Luca donic clone in with the first overall pick the Detroit Piston select Scotty Barnes out of Florida state university did this is a culture setter this is a culture driver there he is with his mom there he is with his sister

There he is with his you know with his best friend there’s Jaylen Suggs he’s he’s absolutely you know happy for his boy his his friend you know Scotty Barnes there he is with Jason Simpson high school teammates best friends Brothers it’s awesome it’s awesome for Detroit Detroit got the one they loved

Rasheed Wallace they loved Isaiah Thomas they got one they got one and guess what this guy he’s never going to let you lose 26 straight he’s never going to let you lose 26 straight he’ll break the he’ll break the entire team’s heads before they lose 10 straight so you got

One all right next up we got the Houston Rockets the Houston Rockets need a lot of stuff and they could use Kate Cunningham they could use Jaylen green but you know what Raphael Stone has apparently also grown a brain over this in this redraft and he’s going to go

Outside the box you know you know Evan Moy he didn’t want to work out for them Scotty Barnes wasn’t too keen on working out for them Cade wasn’t too keen on working out for them Jaylen green did work out for them but there’s another guy that worked out for them you know

What every time the Houston Rockets been good they’ve had a big man a really good big man man they’ve had Hakeem they’ve had Yao they’ve had like a lot of great bigs and when I think of Ralph Samson I think of like I think of the Houston

Rockets I think Center I think of centers in this draft I can think of two players I think of Evan Moy and I think of alrin shenon kid out of turkey youngest player in the draft he’s got a lot of potential does he look like a

Nicoa yic like a Turkish Nica yic he’s got the passing he’s got the playmaking you know I worry about the defense without PR Shen good so maybe I’m leaning more towards I’m I’m leaning more towards Evan Moy here to be honest but uh where do I go where do I go where

Do I go where do I go everyone’s saying shenon what do I do what do I do oh man with a second over overall pick okay would the second overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Houston Rockets select alprin shenon out of turkey all right alpie is Happy alpie is hungry

Alpie is a tough dude Alie is a culture Setter he’s a hard worker and you know what Houston Rockets you got a great one here unfortunately for you in this redraft you get the same guy that you got in the first draft so your steel turns into an obvious pick

Honestly Alper shenon pride of turkey you know he’s a he’s a great young kid he’s hungry man this guy just wants to work he wants to muscle he wants to beat people he’s not scared of anybody and this is a really talented kid and you know

What I am very very happy here um I’m just going to keep this up here thank you so much uh JD saying smash the like like it stole your bike appreciate you man appreciate it appreciate it appreciate it appreciate it we appreciate realness appreciate that man all right we got the third we

Got the third Team all right and we’ve got the Cleveland Cavaliers the last time they were good they had LeBron James LeBron James is a two-way guy they could be looking for a two-way guy I’m very tempted Kade Cunningham right here looks very tempting is he mini LeBron is

He a miniature LeBron or do the turnovers really starting to worry me you know the I don’t know if he’s got the passing I mean he’s been in comfortable situations I understand he’s very Advanced Jaylen green I could be electric I need to sell tickets you know

I’m a very cheap owner I got a very cheap owner I got a very impatient fan base they’re looking for something to get excited about Jaylen green is box office Kade Cunningham is box office but I got to be real I gotta be real Anthony Davis Chris daps porzingis I’m thinking

This player type is a very important player type a guy who can Shore up the backline of my defense it would be very important here for me but man guards sells guards sell shoes guards sell jerseys I don’t know if anyone’s coming out to you know I might have liked alren

Shenon and Scotty Barnes but they are off the table ah I’m confused where do I go here where do I go here I mean what about Jo sugs France Vagner okay I got to do it I got to do it I got to go with the safe pick I got

To go with the right pick I’m going to trust that the jump shots going to come around with the number three pick with the third pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Cleveland Cavaliers select Evan Mobley from the University of Southern California all right Evan Mobley a

Sober first of all thank you Jonathan Convoy for this for this Super Chat love it thank you so much for being part of this community and calling in as often as you have sir this uh this live is very much for this community I thought it would be a nice nice live fun

Engaging and also big shout outs to Jason Watson um young man who called in sent a sent a touching DM today the the guy who’s battling cancer um yeah anyways on to Evan Mobley for the Cleveland Cavaliers this is a great decision for the Cavs I expect a lot of

Growth you can expect this guy to you know to Anchor a defense maybe be a future Defensive Player of the Year candidate maybe a guy who can sweep up that award this is the direction the league is going switchable bigs guys who can guard on the perimeter switch the

Hit Mobility the the range if the jump shot comes around I think he’s a smart player maybe he can be a passer too all right now we are firmly okay the Toronto Raptors okay the Toronto Raptors were in Tampa last year they were bad but they weren’t this bad

They locked in you know they had the seventh seventh best odds they they go to the fourth pick they lock up they move up in the draft they were hoping you know they they were looking at Evan Mobley like they they really wanted Evan Mobley they explored options to trade up

For him they thought about Scotty Barnes those guys are off the table right now I’m looking at Kade Cunningham I got to go with Cade right we got to go with Kade Cade Cunningham is everything right next to Pascal cakam Fred Van vet OG an anobi you get a guy who can really

Really you know uh he can set the offense up he can play off ball he can play off of Fred you know Kyle is potentially out of the way now um you know heading to potentially Miami we’re hearing so I mean I I could certainly see the case for Cade Cunningham or even

Jayen green but you know there is this other guy German kid Michigan really really interesting not as highly touted as those guys but man you can’t teach size and I’m hearing rumors they could be wrong but I’m hearing rumors that Kate’s not really 68 and I’m hearing

Rumors that Jay and Green’s not really 66 and while these inches matter a little bit I think when you start talking about finishing Talent at The Rim you start talking about openness shot quality um I’m tempted I might regret passing on Cade here but I got to go

With this all right with the fourth overall pick the Toronto Raptors select fron Wagner out of Germany via Michigan all right tell us Rob what do we get in fron vogner well you get a wonderful wonderful hardworking young kid his brother Mo Vagner first over uh

First round pick a few years ago this guy’s got it in the Bloodlines he’s got big playmaking potential he can score on three levels he’s a competen is Defender right but you just can’t teach size at this level and I could project this guy being a

Three to four time Allstar when it’s all said and done does he have Superstar potential probably not okay so now we’re on the Orlando Magic side okay the Orlando Magic they were really hoping Scotty Barnes is going to fall to them local kid I mean they

Really wanted Scotty man I I tell you don’t ask me how I know but as menide sources that were saying Orlando was all in on Scotty being there at five he goes off the board at one and the guy who was originally selected to number one is right there right there

For the taking do you do it you need everything right now you don’t have a lot on this team you know you got Jonathan Isaac he’s going through some injury issues I think you could use a guy who can just kind of stabilize your offense now there’s really two options that can

Go here Jaylen green Kate Cunningham I mean I would have loved Evan Moy at number five Josh giddy is he is he is he there Jonathan kaminga you know long Wings they’ve been drafting long wings for a while but how do you pass up on a talent like Kate Cunningham

If he’s there let’s leave it to the chat chat decide who who we going to who we going to pick at number five for the Orlando Magic what who do you guys think we should pick here Theo Kev saying Kade is going second round well I’ve heard some rumors

That the host is a very very big Kade Cunningham hater yikes you know all right with the fifth overall pick in the NBA draft with the fifth overall pick in the NBA draft the Orlando Magic select Kade Cunningham out of Oklahoma State all right let us know Rob who did they get

In Kade Cunningham Kate Cunningham looks pretty sad pretty depressed that he fell all the way to five he was always going to be the number one pick he was the number one rated rated Prospect in the class and somehow he falls there’s some concerns here I want to understand the

Whole time talking about the concerns there is also some upside upside three level scoring you know his outside shot looked good in college will it translate to the NBA good question there’s his brother right there um people speak very well of his maturity as a leader um his

Ability to work hard he’s got long arms he projects pretty well as a Defender as a wing guy he could be pretty switchable one through maybe three one through maybe even four if he can get he’s pretty strong so I think that they got a good one in Cade all right now number

Six all right where did the Oklahoma City Thunder the team with everything and draft picks and assets and future assets where did they go from here well this is a team that really under Sam presty has drafted it extremely well I would be very very surprised to see them screw this up and

Right now I’m thinking Jaylen green um ah where Where Do We Go From Here Josh Giddy and Josh giddy makes some sense here right maybe we think outside the box a little bit right I mean they picked Russell Westberg fourth overall he was not the fourth rated Prospect in that

Draft I mean they they went a little bit off the board there this is a team that’s not afraid to pick outside the box uh Toronto 416 is very lost in life right now saying jdub unless of course you mean somebody else that’s the wrong draft um someone saying OKC’s pick is giddy

Still ah should it be let’s see all right with the sixth overall pick I got to stop timing that incorrectly with the six overall with the sixth pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Oklahoma City Thunder select Trey Murphy III tell them what they got rob you got

A guy who could be in the Three-Point Contest you got a guy who could be in the dunk contest and you got a guy who could be an awesome 3 andd player who has high impact metrics how high are those impact metrics well in the future

He will be fourth in value of a replacement he will be a positive box with finus guy and he’s got a lot of room to grow so thank God he doesn’t fall to 17 like he did in that other reality that we’re not going to talk about right now and he goes sixth

Overall this is a big guy he is a guy who can start for you pretty much on day one and not cost you minutes and that’s important because these rookie contracts are very valuable now certainly Jaylen green cannot slide past seven and I mean we got to start thinking about Jaylen

Green jayen sugs Jaylen Johnson there’s a lot of jayen right now that are on the board and they all got a lot of Po potential what about cam Thomas is this is this too early for cam Thomas Josh giddy my gosh there’s so many players all right where are we going here uh

Okay with the seventh pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Golden State Warriors select Jaylen Suggs out of Gonzaga ah well you know look I I’ve been a big jayen sugs hater just to turn off the character and turn on the reality for a second look I’ve been a

Really big hater of his uh I think part of it was just because of raptor fans going nuts for jayen Suggs around the draft and me wanting to pick Scotty Barnes but jayen sugs has turned his career around in a big way he is a big guard he’s not a point guard necessarily

He’s a combo guard he’s a guy who can defend at The Rim he’s a guy who can defend on the perimeter he is incredible defensively he brings energy and don’t just scoff at that if the jump shot ever comes around he’s only 22 years old if

The jump shot ever comes around this is like a first team all defense guy with like actual defensive upside the upside is very clearly Drew holiday type will it ever get to that level I don’t know but Drew holiday mixed with Josh Hart mixed with Derek white like think that

Type of player those are the players they’re very important okay where we at here with the eighth pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Orlando Magic select Jaylen Johnson out of Duke all right talking about size a 69 a half to 610 fluid athlete with decent wingspan an evolving

Jump shot that will absolutely in the future evolve as it has this year for the Atlanta Hawks you just don’t pass up on size and skill like this okay and clearly he has the work ethic to get from where he was to where he’s at hindsight is 2020 but

Jaylen Johnson absolutely should have been a top 10 pick in this draft prior to being injured this year he probably was a top five guy for most improved player he’s a really really decent one um why did he fall to 20 probably interviews maybe people didn’t trust the

Tape maybe people didn’t trust the analytics whatever it is he wouldn’t go 20 this year this time around all right the Sacramento Kings [ __ ] up this draft really badly are they going to do it again not on my watch with the ninth pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Sacramento Kings pick

Another old guy herb Jones out of Alabama and Alabama and let me tell you something they picked a 24y old 23y old 23y old 23-year-old okay the last time and Davon Mitchell they pick a 22-year-old this time they want winning right now but this time they actually

Get a guy who’s going to impact winning in a massive massive way okay yes a lot of people like to sleep on upper classmen yes people like to sleep on guys with questionable drump shots but I know what I know and when I know I know

Okay so I’m telling you the future is very kind to the Sacramento Kings because their entire future just got a whole lot brighter with herb Jones Shoring the one thing they don’t have on their team right now which is a competent freaking Defender Kean Murray

Has come a long way in the future draft but they get one here who’s really good all right where are we going where are we going with the 10th pick in in the 2021 NBA draft the New Orleans Pelicans select cam Thomas out of LSU all right

When we say bucket we mean bucket and we when we say bucket we mean cam Thomas this is a guy who can scored 40 points 35 points 50 points is a heat check guy he doesn’t do a lot else he doesn’t do a whole lot else defense optional rebounding optional playmaking optional

But if you want a guy who is a Surefire NBA player for 13 years is going to put up stacks of points on a pretty good level good efficiency thre level scoring and put a lot of pressure on the rim put pressure on the defense and scare some

People cam Thomas is your guy jillen green not so much okay so I think this is a good pick and honestly if you go back and check who they actually picked up Ton this is a massive massive Improvement okay the pick is in I’m getting anxious where are we

Going okay with the 11th pick in the 2021 NBA draft the Charlotte Hornets select Josh giddy out of Australia question questionable jump shot but unquestionable Talent um just a really really smart basketball player with excellent what we call feel for the game okay he’s got like he’s just got

Tremendous size for his position he really is a pure point guard he handles the ball on a string he is somebody who just genuinely understands the game of basketball at a very high level for someone his age defenses a very very big question mark he doesn’t have like this

The longest arms uh to compensate for it he he doesn’t have great lateral quickness but big Playmakers are the thing in the NBA and he is the biggest uh playmaker other than Scotty Barnes in this draft now going um going into picks 12 to 20 let’s just quickly go into this

So with 12 I go Austin Reeves I think this is about as high as I can go with Austin Reeves look he is still considered considerably older than the rest of the players he’s playing with Anthony Davis and LeBron James so before you jump on your Austin Reeds is him

Austin Reeds should get a Max contract y’all crazy okay just watch the games he’s good he is a very talented player and and honestly very skilled and very hardworking and he’s got a lot of Charisma and he comes up in big moments but do not unell defense don’t unell age

Potential all that stuff it’s really difficult to gauge a player like this so I think he’s been he’s been really solid um and Incredibly shoot like he shot poorly to start this year but he shot incredibly last year shot really well in the playoffs I think there’s a lot of

Reasons why he would go top 14 and and be a lottery pick certainly he’s shown more so far than Moses Moody and James book Knight and a lot of guys who were picked top 14 not that those guys would even be you know really picked like in

The top 25 if we did a redraft 13 Jonathan kaminga again year three is is really really the year for me where I really it’s really difficult if for three years straight you don’t flash positive impact on the basketball court is very very unlikely that you ever turn

It around at that point it’s not unheard of there are guys who come come through in year four I believe Jaylen Brown was a good example of a guy who really took off in year four but we saw a lot more from Jaylen Brown you know by year three

Than we have from Jonathan kaminga I think this is a firm floor for him 13 there was a lot of talk of him going top three top four in this draft a lot believe it or not and then you know teams worked him out and you know a lot

Of that talk died down as it should number 14 Jan green it’s about as far as I can let him fall as well you know there’s still a lot of talent there there’s still a lot of upside theoretical or or otherwise I think his defense has been better this year I just

Think that the scoring is a little bit overblown it’s it’s a lot of volume stuff it was a lot of you know athleticism at a younger age not the first player to do this there’s tons of guys who were just too athletic too skilled at a youth level and they just

Didn’t work out in the NBA he is a prototype of tons of guys who were like this I mean OJ mayo de Dewan Wagner like there’s tons of guys who at the prep level dominated but then as the game Advanced they just they they couldn’t adjust they couldn’t see themselves as a

Role player honestly at this point if he were to adjust his thinking to a l Lou Williams Jamal Crawford type of role his career could totally block awesome he’s not really buying into that type of role he’s getting benched in fourth quarters it’s yet to be seen if if humility will

Take the key or whatever but I just I don’t love his size at the position he doesn’t defend particularly well he doesn’t pass particularly well so yeah as much as I like the scoring upside and potential and you know what one thing is this might be a second team candidate

This might be a guy who could really really really do something different than he’s shown in Houston for someone else else I think he might be that guy and this is a big reason why I think the Toronto Raptor should take a swing at him if he’s available if the Houston

Rockets make him available I think this is one player you should Target there’s a lot of reasons for that there’s a ton of reasons for that but namely it’s Talent the talent is still inherently there you know the athleticism the quickness the burst it’s all still there it’s just thinking the game processing

The game understanding your role understanding your limitations you know um maybe the coaching you know like these these years these early years don’t come back 19 to 21 has he really been coached properly in the g-league ignite and then two years with W with Steven Silas is this the guy who needs a

Great coach and a great team to give him that second breath you know if if there’s any player that I can think of in the league that needs this it’s him he can do it I I still have faith but he’s going 14 in this draft because

There’s still a lot of guys who are pretty talented on the board 15 Santi Alama really I look at trackable consistent growth and I think Santi Al dama there’s no Hicks there’s no hitches last four years like clockwork better better better better and look man he’s a big who can shoot

And he shoots on high volume and I like that and he’s productive and I like that too and he’s playing on a really bad team right now so maybe people aren’t talking about it but good enough number 16 Moses Moody flashing some life right now qu Grime 17 not flashing a lot of

Life but has shown a lot last year honestly there’s not a lot left in this draft 18 Dron sharp love him loved his potential and again another guy that if the Raptors were to make a trade this is one guy I would want included back uh with the Brooklyn Nets really like him

Number 19 Jericho Sims eh I’m not I’m not thrilled with him but you know he might be what the what the what the doctor ordered in New York uh based on Mitchell Robinson’s injury um he’s also currently injured right now or is he not playing or you know is he B um and

Number 20 bones Highland I mean honestly I was grasping at straws there’s probably somebody better than bones Highland here but again going with a scoring quick twitch guard I went with bones honestly if I really really think about it there’s probably someone in the undrafted Heap that was better um but I

Was struggling let me let me uh yeah uh someone saying Charles Bassie over Sims maybe I haven’t watched enough char Bassy uh only 16 likes come on guys yes please please who hit that like button okay now let’s talk about the Toronto Raptors for a bit this is 30 minutes

Into the live we got the draft done in 30 minutes yes this is the fastest content ever okay no it’s not there was there was there was plenty of pre- ramble there uh preamble preamble ramble okay I’m I’m staggering Okay so what’s going on with me I’m stalling not staggering I’m not staggering

Okay let’s talk about the Raptors so I just watched the Pistons versus the Celtics and I was telling my girlfriend I’m like I’m worried I am really worried and and I thought I wasn’t going to be worried but man the Pistons were blowing the [ __ ] out of the Celtics and they

Somehow came back and lost it I don’t know how they lost it I really don’t and Jason Tatum gave him every chance in the world but yo they were guarding christops porzingis eight feet from the basket with bonovich and Kade Cunningham what are you expecting to happen to you th I

Understand people who say this is on coaching but then it’s like well what can you do can you put James wisman on the floor could you trust him could you put Marvin Bagley on the floor Jaylen Duran tried his hardest man jayen Ivy tried their hardest I I mean

You wow I think the whole world was watching that game like there’s no way this is going to happen you know how bad it is the Pistons were up six in the fourth quarter and I’m like there’s no way the Celtics you’re losing this game

If they were up in overtime and I’m like there’s no way they’re goingon to lose this game Jason Tatum was playing like the worst game I think I’ve seen him play in a very long time and I was like there’s no way they’re going to lose this game it’s just not possible it’s

Like but what’s what’s making me a little bit anxious right now is that the Pistons are not 20 seven straight loss is bad you see the talent on that team they’re not this bad bro there’s no way in hell this team should have lost 27 straight there’s a lot of extenuating

Circumstances a lot of it is mental but there’s no way in hell the Pistons are 27 losses in a yo if you accurately made this roster in 2K this game this team would not be it’s not even cap it’s not even possible for this team to lose 12 straight much less

26 27 straight it’s not possible this is honestly it’s it’s a it’s a self undoing unraveling and they’re they’re close they’re close in every one of these games they’re leading by Massive digits in every one of these games so it’s not like okay fair enough you know maybe the

Other team is letting them this is a thing in basketball for sure I mean you know I’ve seen players talk about it on podcast where you know you’re playing a bad team you kind of chill for about two and a half quarters and then you turn it

On in the third I know it I know it I know it I know what happens there’s certain teams where you just let them kind of hang around hang around hang around they throw their punch they throw their punch they get a little bit tired and then you just Coast you just Coast

To the victory line by turning up the defense a little bit you watch himself implode and this is how upsets happen in the NBA you take your opponent a little bit lightly no one is coming out and trying to beat the Detroit Pistons like they are the sh you know the 96 Chicago

Bulls I get that I understand that yes they are I understand this argument too they literally are that bad though yes they literally are that bad but they’re not bad and it’s hard to explain man it’s hard to explain if you put this team up against the teams that they were

In a conversation with the talent alone is it’s crazy there’s like three players on the Pistons that would be like the best player on that you know um tank uh the tanking Philadelphia 76ers team like I mean the talent level is alone insane I mean I’m not I’m not

Even trying to rate Kade or assar or or Jaden Ivy or or jayen dur like but these are NBA players I I went through in yesterday’s live how many players on the Pistons would would play rotational minutes to the Raptors we got to eight there’s like eight players on this team

That would play Rotation minutes for the Raptors not saying that the Raptors are the holy Beacon of you you know um good NBA players but I mean how many players how many players in the Pistons would play Rotation minutes for the Lakers right now probably six or seven maybe

Eight there’s guys man there’s guys it’s not just a team full of g- Leaguers there’s actual talent on this team and you’re seeing it you know you’re seeing it they’re in these games they’re competitive they’re beating you know Brooklyn they’re beating Boston at home a team that’s 14 and0 so I was looking

At my girlfriend I’m like man the Raptors are screwed the rapor are screwed because if the Pistons win which they didn’t the Celtics gonna come out and smoke Us by 50 tomorrow and if the Pistons lose which they did they now have the confidence to know I mean I

Wonder what that plane ride is going to be like yo we were up by like 10 points in the fourth quarter eight points in the fourth quarter against the Boston Celtics at home we could kill the Raptors that’s what I would be saying if I was the Pistons I wonder what the

Pistons are saying as the Pistons but that’s what I would be saying as the Detroit Pistons yo this is our home court we are not going to let the Toronto Raptors come in I don’t think the Raptors are ready for the type of fight that the Pistons are about to take to

Them but it is going to be insane like I think the world should watch that game and here’s the thing I really don’t want the Raptors to lose that game because if you lose that game you lose so much more than just that game you don’t understand

Like certain games are worth more than other games the games that people watch like the the old the old question if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it doesn’t make a sound honestly I’m 36 years old I can finally conclusively tell you no it

Doesn’t okay that’s my answer after 36 years of pondering this no it doesn’t so if you make an ass of yourself it’s Everyone’s Watching I promise you I turn on the television I’m like I wonder if the Pistons are on yeah the Pistons are on in Canada they’re they’re on in

Sacramento Everyone’s Watching so you better believe their next game against the Toronto Raptors for the record for the alltime record this is going to be so box office everyone’s mother is going to be watching it you want to watch the worst team in the league ever you want

To watch the worst team in NBA history ever and if you lose to that team oh my God the impact that it would have on Scotty Bar’s All-Star chances on your season on Darko rakovich the media [ __ ] storm that would persist for the next few days going into your

New Year’s game against the Cavaliers and of course you know the Cavaliers are playing well without Evan Moy and without Darius Garland I think they’re 5 in one without those guys last I checked they might be better now or worse and you could lose that game too and I mean

Now where you at you just made a change in your starting lineup long overdue and you lose to the Pistons and the Cs without this Dennis schro is Gonna Come Back In starting lineup bro you mean like the Jazz loss uh don’t know what you mean I’m not

Sure the Jazz lose to a lot of teams the Jazz wait the Raptors lost to the Jazz and the Pistons lost to the Jazz I feel like the Pistons loss to the Jazz was worse since the players who didn’t play I feel like the Raptor’s loss to the

Jazz wasn’t as bad it was pretty bad but it wasn’t as bad um I’m just saying I think Cade and Duran present a lot of problems I think Ivy presents a lot of problems there’s a lot of guys on this team that present a lot of problems for

A team that isn’t clicking very well defensively right now now as much as I want to believe that Pascal SE yakum and Scotty Barnes are just simply too good to lose to Detroit Pistons I don’t actually believe that they are I believe that this team is very capable of losing

To the Pistons and as much as I was very very excited yesterday about the lineup change and I’m like oh there’s no way they’re gonna lose to the Pistons now that they made this lineup change I actually think there is a very very strong possibility that the Pistons

Would just I mean have you ever seen like like have you ever seen a dog trying to protect its young you seen a mother try to lift a you know like a lift a car off of its baby like yo do not underestimate a wounded animal an animal who’s cornered the

Pistons are cornered nobody wants to become the worst team in NBA history and nobody wants to lose to the worst team in NBA history they’re already I mean regardless of whether they take this record or not they’re the only team in the league in in league history who’s

Lost 28 straight in a single season they just did it tonight the previous record I believe was 25 or 26 so they already cleared that they’re going for the multi-season record right now multi-season this team has found very unique ways to lose yep but do not underestimate how talented this team is

Because I’m telling you right now as someone who I watch a lot of basketball man and when I say the Pistons are not that bad I’m telling you the Pistons are not that bad there’s no team in the league that is this bad right now no there there’s no team in the

League that you as the Toronto Raptors or even the Indiana Pacers Chicago Bulls there’s all these teams there’s no team that you will 100% or even 95% of the time beat the Pistons are not 95% win for like all these teams they’re 95% win for the team that they almost beat

Tonight this is a scary scary um yeah I agree look man Jaden Ivy assar Thompson Jaylen Duran Kate Cunningham this is a very very difficult set of players to mash up for I know it sounds crazy I know I’m being doom doom and gloom I’m sorry

Maybe you don’t want to hear this I’m just telling you this is a very scary matchup for the Toronto Raptors this is not shade on the Raptors this is not shade on the Pistons this is not beefing up the Pistons I’m just telling you the

Raptors are a poor Road team they are a team that plays down to their competition and they’re facing a team that has a lot of they’re facing a team with players that create a lot of issues so if they have a big shooting night this is going to be a loss and I

Don’t think Raptor nation is prepared for what that loss will lead to what it could feel like um AC saying I hope Raptors lose why why would you ever want the Raptors to lose bro this is not something like what saw some reports of seum extension are are you kidding right

The 2021 draft class are officially in their third season, and we’re seeing some guys REALLY take a step as some guys bring back the same old questions.

0:00 – Introducing the format & thanks
5:30 – Picks 1 – 5
17:36 – Picks 6-10
24:45 – Picks 11-20
31:33 – Pistons Raptors matchup is scaring me…

Bleacher Report had an article in which they drafted the 2021 class. I found it crazy. I found it absurd. They had Scottie #1, Cade #5, Suggs #10, Herb Jones at 14!!!!!!

Someone said “don’t like it? Do your own”… so I am. Tonight.

  1. Video got demonetized due to use of the draft videos 🙁 but here are the time stamps. I could trim out the segments but tbh the video would get way worse for it, so leaving it up. Please give this video a like. I'd super appreciate it!

  2. I’m terrified for that pistons game man, the entire nba world is watching. One bad game from pascal and his trade value could go down the drain. One bad game from Scottie could cost him an all star spot. The stakes on this game are unbelievably high

  3. Jalen Johnson fell because he opted out of college season at Duke midseason to prepare for the draft. Reason partly because of him having his foot injury & not liking his role on Duke after, with him coming off the bench & playing limited minutes.

    Jalen Johnson averaged in 21 MPG:
    11 PPG, 6 RPG- 2 APG on 52 FG% with 1.2 BLK, 1.2 STL.
    He shot 44% from 3.

    Duke were bad but he was extremely productive & efficient in his limited mins.
    He had his minutes down & off the bench after his injury, hurting his stock with him not intending to comeback next year.
    (Which I'm sure coach K would have loved.)
    So he opted out, letting his foot heal properly, protecting his stock and preparing for the draft.

    He got so much hate for opting out.
    They were calling him a quitter, NBA media + draft guys questioned his mental toughness, over analysing his competitiveness.

    College basketball expert Seth Greenberg was on ESPN talking reckless saying Jalen Johnson quit on his team & trashing him.
    He was saying on national TV that if he was a general manager he would factor in what he did and Greenberg also labelled his basketball as 'not winning basketball'.

    I'm sure Seth Greenberg wouldn't be saying that if he didn't opt out, I'm sure he's good friends with many at Duke including coach K.

    Syracuse coach Boheim literally trashed Jalen Johnson game and said he was hurting his team and there better without him.
    Speaking that bad about a player on another team, all because he opted out.

    Coach K gave his nice political answer, we know he was mad.

    So many hit pieces written on him, questioning his character, labels like Coward, Quitter.

    I'm sure word was put out by coaches at Duke & insiders to tank his value, which is why he fell. Coach K enthusiast were never gonna let that slide. I'm sure many draft guys were influenced.

    I was suprised he didn't fall further, Hawks smart enough to get him knowing John Collins is there & he could replace him.

    Jalen Johnson reputation for opting out was tarnished & lost millions and to some degree put on the shelf because of petty & hate.

    He should have been getting more minutes on a bad team.

    He was a top 10 prospect.

    A point forward at 6ft 10, with playmaking talent, scoring upside, shooting upside, 2-way talent, elite athlete, lob threat.

    Props to Jalen Johnson for being something let alone looking like a potential star with all the stuff that was thrown his way.

    It's easy to make excuses why it didn't work in NBA after losing out on millions and essentially not getting enough minutes his first 2 seasons due to circumstances with John Collins there.

    He could have got distracted & fall into the pitfalls that many talents + great athletes do.

    JJ didn't sulk at his role on Hawks, was a team player despite that being what was used against him when he opted out.

  4. Anything perpetual garners views. Cause tbh ive been all over det games ever since the 20ish loss. If we lose, guys will lose value idk. i think we might be the team to lose to them finally signalling to management to gut the team
