We’ve NEVER Seen A Rookie Class Like This…

The 2023 NBA draft has already shown itself to be an absolutely insane class and I just want to take the video today to talk about how well all these guys are playing and how good they look already as rookies all throughout the draft really quickly though if you’re

Your NFL knowledge and try and win some cash while you’re at it essentially you go onto their site and you pick more or less for each of these numbers between two six numbers in a given selection and if you are correct if you get these right you win some cash and there’s a

Couple other really cool things here as well you can mix and match you see that I have some NBA stuff here selected you can throw some NFL stuff in there as well and again all you have to do is Select more or less for each and if

Too long ago but obviously wom Yama they moved him to the five and he’s been still kind of inconsistent but just has these explosive moments and defensively he is absolutely everywhere obviously The Supporting Cast isn’t fantastic the guards aren’t great hopefully they address that at the trade deadline but

Really not much to complain about with Wy Brandon Miller has been consistent for Charlotte he’s been better defensively than I thought that he would be as a rookie and the shot stuff has gotten much much better certainly compared to summer league and then scoot Henderson is is the guy that everybody’s

Nervous about right now and he still has some weird moments I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player that has as high a usage as scoot does it’s not like he’s crazy high usage but that has the ball as much as he does and has more

Weird turnovers and air balls than scoot Henderson does but he’s starting to get more run they’re having some injury issues and I I still have a lot of Hope for the future of scoop but that’s not the point of the video the point of the video is these other guys both Thompson

Twins have been good but in very limited action the strength of this class obviously with the exception of wmi might actually be all of these guys outside of the top five this is one of those groups that I feel like a couple years from now we’re going to look back

On this class and realize the incredible amount of depth first guy I want to talk about is balal kabali in Washington the Wizards are a catastrophe of a basketball team I apologize if you had to watch them at any point this year because it is a very very tough watch

But I find myself watching a good amount of wizards games because I really like watching kabali play there is a fluidity and a body control to him on both ends of the floor that if he can continue to refine his skill set that I’m really excited for the shot mechanics look good

And he’s someone that I personally think they should be prioritizing more within the offense get him some more reps and maybe we’ll see that throughout the year but the foundation of a really good starting caliber Wing is there for kabali and outside of the top five that’s not always the case immediately

In some of these drafts which begins just a ridiculously long list of guys that I want to talk about uh kesan Wallace in Oklahoma city is basically lud Dort like he just shows up and runs around has great energy hits threes and just looks like the perfect complimentary player for that Oklahoma

City team a team that is incredibly deep a team that has played like one of the best in the entire league so far I want to see some you know a little bit more obviously growth and development from him over the next couple of Seasons being even more consistent from three

Maybe some on ball creation stuff as well but he just goes out there he guards and he shoots and it’s just it’s awesome to see a guy immediately impact his team the way that kesan Wallace has some other guys as well Dereck Lively in Dallas has been unbelievable he was just

A very weird Prospect because physically everything was there but at the college level productivity was very very weird and he still projected as a lottery pick because physically he had everything you wanted and honestly he looks better in the NBA than he did in college it’s

Crazy to say that but he actually looks better he looks more active he looks more athletic I don’t know what it is obviously having more space at the NBA level he’s perfect for Dallas he’s really good on the offensive glass he’s solid if not you know maybe slightly below average defensively but provides

Them a body type at the five that they have needed the entirety of the Luca era and again the of this class he has just showed up started a ton of games played really well for them and been really productive this is not normal for rookies to show up and be impactful on

Winning teams the way that guys like Kon Wallace and Derrick gelyy have and that I think again could be one of the themes of this class uh some other guys here as well Jordan Hawkins in New Orleans hasn’t been playing as much lately since Trey Murphy has come back over the last

Couple of weeks but I’ve done a video on him on one of my other channels he’s unbelievable I think he’s legitimately one of the best Shooters in the west maybe even one of the best Shooters in the league once he gets a little bit more usage they’re starting to use him a

Little bit more because the Pelicans are always missing somebody someone is always hurt and I’m hopeful that they prioritize him more over the next couple of Seasons because purely as a shooter like there’s going to be issues he’s not going to create a ton he’s skinny not

Going to guard super well but just as a spacer he is awesome and a guy that deserves minutes on a on a good Pelicans team again that is not normal for rookies uh konay George and Utah has been a little bit up and down but it’s clear that there’s something there even

If he just ends up being like Jordan Clarkson 2.0 like there’s definitely something there with keontay George as a you know kind of spark plug offensive weapon Utah has been playing extremely well lately it doesn’t necessarily have ton to do with him but a lot of times as

You you know see with a lot of these other teams that picked guards in the middle of the first round a lot of times those guys don’t get run immediately or they just never really have that much of a career and to immediately establish himself as worst case a spark plug

Offensive weapon the way that Keon George has is really really exciting for Utah we also have these three guys that I’m about to talk about is kind of the foundation of this theory of just an incredibly deep draft class so we’ve got haimi hakz in Miami now in the middle of

The back half of the first round I don’t understand it I don’t get it I don’t get how Miami always does this he’s going to be the new Tyler hero he’s going to be the new guy that Miami just refuses to involve in any trade discussions if they

Make a move at the deadline I would be shocked if he was in it he just does everything well he guards he rebounds he’s bigger than you think he is he’s already got all the weird perky jerky pump fake get to the free throw line stuff he’s shooting the ball decently

Well again two-way impact on a good Miami team straight away as a rookie is just just unheard of right then we have in Golden State one of my favorite rookies in the entire class Brandon psky I’m always going to mispronounce his last name I apologize there’s just something with that guy that like

Obviously the Lefty thing everybody’s going to talk about oh he looks like Manu like there’s just something with his feel for the game his passing instincts he can shoot the ball he drives and he gives Golden State something that they’ve been missing without ironically Jordan p is having a

Terrible season Washington but Jordan P gave them an on ball hacking presence that also can shoot can set other guys up and they trust him a lot and importantly he’s in the right spots defensively a lot he’s never going to be like some kind of top tier defensive

Player just because of his physical limitations but he is high level two-way impact the next guy too that’s starting to get more run is Cam Whitmore now he was kind of the story of the draft in certain ways because he was supposed to be a top 10 pick Falls all the way down

To I think 20 with Houston and I think part of the concern him was maybe there were some attitude issues and maybe uh some injury stuff that people were concerned with but when cam wh Whitmore is playing well and he’s making shots and he’s attacking the rim he stands out

He doesn’t look like the 20th pick in the draft he looks like an explosive athlete that can score that can shoot that has potentially some highle defensive upside in the future as well like that is not a normal kind of player to get with the 20th overall pick and

Again not playing a ton but I’m hopeful that it’ll continue to get some more time on the floor for Houston because there’s something there I don’t know if it’s going to develop into a future star or anything but there’s definitely something there with Cam Whitmore and

Then we’ve got a couple other guys as well Julian stur with Denver Andre Jackson with Milwaukee both of them getting more minutes you know here and there kind of up and down but again clearly the potential to be rotation pieces down the road and then the other

Guy that I have to talk about I just made a third Channel video on this guy GG Jackson in memph there’s a lot there this is a guy that was a former High School top high school Prospect reclassed ended up going to South Carolina gets picked in the second round

And Memphis is obviously kind of at a loss season at this point uh Desmond Bane Marcus Mart are both going to be out for the next 6 to8 weeks jaw’s out for the rest of the year so it’s it’s jiren Jackson and Luke Canard and BG Jackson basically at this and as a

Versatile 6’8 super athletic forward and Wing he’s exactly what they need he’s what zier Williams was supposed to be when they moved up and picked zier Williams I believe 10th overall a couple of years ago there’s definitely a lot there with him he’s been in the g-

League but he’s playing more now because all these guys are hurt and I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of the season he projects as a starter for Memphis next year he’s the youngest player in the the entire league and exactly the kind of player that this Memphis team

Needs and I just read off what 10 or 15 guys even outside of the top five that have been unbelievable and the difference is we have every year we have rookies that put up good stats and then kind of fall off in years two and three

A lot of these guys are contributing to winning teams that are picked you know 12th and Beyond on teams that project to be playoff teams they’re rotation players some of them even starters like dererk Lively this doesn’t happen for rookies you have your high upside guys like GG Jackson balal kabali the

Thompson Twins but you also have high impact immediate contributors like P zimsky like Derrick Lively like haime hakz this is not normal and I cannot wait to see what this draft class looks like a couple of years from now
