Identifying the under the radar, impact players in a star-centric, social media driven era of NBA.
As social media's influence on the NBA has increased in recent years, the product has devolved from watching the actual games into the box score reading and highlight posting of star players. This is illustrated every day by analysts on national TV whose knowledge is limited to 20-30 players and excludes the other several hundred. In a league where stat-stuffing stars receive all the coverage and the average fan is blind to the existence of non-star players, there is an excess of unrecognized talent. The goal of this channel is to recognize the NBA’s hidden gems by focusing on players whose ability, for a variety of reasons, has not yet produced the volume stats to match.

These Players are SLEEPERS to Win Each Major NBA Award!
For one reason or another, there are always a few players for each major award category that have a much better chance to take home the award than their Vegas odds would indicate. Most of the awards have arbitrary criteria that is best understood looking at past winners to try and understand how the media select and what historical trends could come into play going forward. In this video I’m going to select one sleeper for each 2022-2023 regular season award that has a realistic shot of bringing home the trophy.
Which of these sleepers do you think is most likely to take home an award?

Despite rising to dominance quickly at prior levels in his career, Okongwu's NBA career has...

Every year once the NBA playoffs begin, the toxicity intensifies among fans and media coverage at large. The narratives that take hold on Twitter lead to drastic shifts in opinions toward players and teams overnight. Talking heads are eager to slander and reassess the entire career of a player if he has a bad series. While there may be sprinkles of truth embedded in these narratives, more often...
Max Strus is The Next Elite Shooter in the NBA
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 lety
Max Strus is a 6'5" shooting guard for the Miami Heat who has worked his way from going undrafted, cut by multiple teams, and buried in the G-league to becoming a key player for an NBA contender. He has quickly proven himself to be one of the best long distance shooters in the NBA but many still haven't recognized that he is capable of much more than that.

Jalen Brunson is The Most Underrated PG in the NBA
zhlédnutí 45KPřed 2 lety
Jalen Brunson is a 4th year guard for the Dallas Mavericks and what he lacks in size and physical tools he more than makes up for in skill. The 6'1 lefty excels at scoring efficiently from all three levels, using his crafty footwork, high basketball IQ, and an array of fakes & dribble moves to gain an advantage over his defender. As a result of playing in the shadow of superstar PG Luka Doncic ...
Uncovering the NBA's Biggest Blind Spot
zhlédnutí 356Před 2 lety
The NBA's thirst for stardom has its consequences and those mainly affected are the casual NBA fans who are left interpreting the game and its players based on box scores and highlights. There is a blind spot toward non-star players that causes us to disregard 90% of the players on the floor. How do we regain our ability to see impact regardless of a player's name or their box score stats? Twit...
Elite ball knowledge
Nice Vid. Hope you make content again
He fits on warriors fo real
You have proven yourself prescient and should be on a team’s scouting department
Appreciate it, man. That would be a dream come true
This video aged well
Wow has this aged well
This is why jb and luka works but ky and luka don't.. jb and luka has almost the same style of game, slow but efficient unlike ky having fast paced explosive athleticism.. having guards with different style will really be hard to synchronize
JB and Luka “worked” but it came at the expense of Brunson’s growth as a player since he was the one that sacrificed his on ball strengths to accommodate Luka. Concluding that Luka and Kyrie didn’t work bc of a couple months is silly and I’d argue that contrasting offensive styles can actually make for a better pairing vs having overlapping strengths
This narration is a load of crap. Jaylen had to be going against these clowns in practice. There is no way he wasn’t wearing their asses out. Those should be questions that the press need to ask Brunson.
Dude had to fight for everything Jesus Christ at least Kidd put 2 and 2 together
You called it
This vid aged well Great job sir
He's top 3 PG in the league right now
Wow, you really nailed this analysis! You were on the money. That's precisely what happened when Brunson came to the Knicks. And he's STILL underrated! You really did a great job putting this vid together. Look forward to seeing other predictions you make.
Thanks! He’s seemingly always overlooked no matter what he accomplishes. He’s just a winner
Bro you called it!
Onyeka has literally amazed me with his style of play
You were early on Jalen.. Nice work 💪🏾 #GoKnicks
Damn u saw the future
Makes me happy to come across people that truly know the game. Great content/knowledge. Much respect to you. LET’s GO KNICKS!!
And he definitely listened to your suggestion!
This video has aged beautifully. Brunson also has some of the best footwork in the NBA.
Thanks. He is truly an elite talent and a testament to how great one can become when they put in the work to perfect their craft.
Thank you -Knicks fan
Wow you were right on the money
Fast forward to now... And he is thriving for the Knicks 😭 gotta love your breakdown, he is getting a chance to show the world who he is
Double O is so so so underrated I knew since the draft that he was going to be a monster. This guy is so good and likeable he's my favorite player in the NBA. I'm sure I'm the only one that says this but it's true I believe he's going to be a legend. He's silky smooth at the rim and he can smother top big men. Much love to Capella but as with all things it's time for a new Era to begin.
This is some of the worst, unintelligible basketball content I’ve ever seen man. The sever lack of understanding on the most basic tenants of the game is laughable. And it’s very transparent that you don’t actually watch maverick basketball.
Kevon Looney is 6’8. At like 6’7 Draymond also plays “center.” Kevon in the lineup is still a small ball center essentially. And If the warriors had 2-3 Draymonds, they’d win more easily with no one on the court above 6’7
Hmm… I wouldn’t consider any lineup with looney as a small ball lineup. It’s as much about the way he plays as it is the height. Just like there are players taller than looney who wouldn’t be considered centers or “bigs”. In the sense of traditional positions, looneys style definitely puts him in the category of a traditional big man, regardless if he is two inches shorter than the average center
Forgot who said it but they said everyone in the nba used to have they own team it must be tru because I didn't know he was on Chino hills and won awards
Nov. '22, great call, right on money with his current performance.
Thx. I’m glad he’s finding his groove and flashing even more of what he can do beyond shooting
He’s so cold bruh
The hawks have a very good young roster , big O and Deandre hunter gonna be stars
jalen underdog brunson
So like he can’t be considered for top 10 handles in the nba? This motherfucker got movesssss 😂
I hope D rose mentors him well
BUY OO-17 STOCK NOW!!!📈
right
Something that I don't hear a lot about with his game is that he seems to purposefully avoid certain moves, because they have a lower rate of success and are more likely to lead to turnovers. For example, he opts for quick-shifting high post-ups instead of attempting crossovers out near the line. He also likes to dribble out there and fake the hand-off with a head fake and speed change then cut hard to the basket. Another alternative he goes to off the catch is an extremely tight jab-step and drive that almost always leads to him beating his defender. Other players could learn something from Brunson's urgency on the court *cough* Tatum *cough*. Brunson is even doing complex things like having the other team's help defender act like a screener by running his man into the help and cutting around them. He'll often use this to throw off the play, because the help defender obscures his man's vision and the paint protector will usually still be on the weak side, because they also don't have clear line of sight on the ball handler--it's an extremely effective an underutilized play. Since he doesn't have the size and athleticism to then dunk all over the help, he'll usually do a quick high-percentage off-balance finger roll (which often leads to an AND1), do a back cut and some fancy step-through, or do a footwork fade-away. He's also really good at using his body to cut off trailing defenders and will often do clever speed changes to prevent getting blocked--his shiftiness is problematic for a defense. The wildest thing is he has the discipline to not pick up his handle through most plays while multiple defenders are in near proximity and rarely has to get bailed out. If Brunson was even 4 inches taller with the same skillset, he'd be MVP caliber because of all the things he can bring on the floor offensively for a team. It will be interesting to see how teams will defend him when he's the guy.
Brunson is extremely underrated: (1) His basketball IQ is extremely high (2) He can take a shot from anywhere on the floor (3) He has extremely tight handles and even avoids going to certain flashier moves that are more likely to lead to turnovers (e.g. crossovers) (4) His high-post-up, which I'd argue is his signature move, is nearly un-guardable, because he has so many options out of that position--you can't reach in, because he'll punish you with a quick direction shift (5) His post play is elite (6) His off balance shots are extremely consistent
He’s an absolute stud. The world is going to understand next season now that he’s front and center in the biggest market in the country. He’s been elite at every level and they always try to put a ceiling on him despite constant improvement. It’s a shame people don’t appreciate his game more because, as you listed, everything he does on the court is at such a ridiculously high skill and IQ level
@@eye4impactnba572 totally agree. He's going to have a breakout season this year and I'm excited to watch.
Hold your horses potna Capela has the spot for a couple more years. Due to us getting a major playmaker in Murray thats another pick and roll Maestro for Capella and JC to get more touches and points. Unless... they get hurt really bad and can't bounce back. I like Wuskii as a PF but JC just got big bucks and isn't going anywhere either.
I’ll take the under on 2 years lol! But yeah we will see. I think okongwu is too good to have as a reserve for that long. One way or another, he’ll be a starter.
Excellent video! I am a Brunson fan and you understand his game. Not mentioned (due to timing of video release): lack of 3 point shooting on Knicks will clog the lane and challenge him as the primary creator. Mavs had lots of 3 pt shooters.
Agreed, but I think he’ll figure it out and adapt as he’s done his entire career. Will be fun to see how he responds next season!
To small hawks have a midget for a point guard now you want a midget center they will never win a championship
Okongwu is the the most underrated Hawks player imo. Love Capela, but agreed that it's only a matter of time before he's the starting center. My pick for breakout player in the league provided given minutes from HC Nate McMillan. He doesn't need to be Bam, like the comparisons. He possibly could be better defensively in time. And his offense will come along too. When "we" made the pick I was a little confused but not anymore. Teams noticed him around the league before we finally got Dejoute Murray. Even the Spurs wanted the big man as a young piece. If he develops a jump shot from 15 or further, watch out. And not just saying this as a Hawks fan. 🏀💯🏀
Agreed 100%. Only a matter of time before he breaks out
He's also been injured a lot. He was injured when the Hawks drafted him. Like DeAndre hunter, amazing when healthy. Just needs to stay on the court. The best ability is availability.
Love Big O. I love his personality as well. I think the hawks are working with his 3’s to spread the floor more. He is undersized for a center, and need to improve boxing out skills to be a better rebounder. But he is good at spacing and high defensive IQ. He would be a great PF rather than a center. Hope he can get a starting position soon.
Great points. I think I prefer to see him at the 5 because that’s where his mobility and athleticism creates such an advantage compared to opposing centers. The defensive rebounding is the biggest concern no doubt. Big year ahead for him
@@eye4impactnba572 I agree on his athleticism and his potential. Lou really saw his potential early and help groom him offensively. Now a days where teams are playing more positionless basketball, I can he Big O playing starting center. As much as I like Capela, his presence in paint seemed to limit Collins attacking the basket, as well as Collins 2nd chance point near the basket. Then again, Capela is much better defensive anchor in the paint. I think Big O and Collins (slightly taller than Big O) can be a good fit on the paper, Big O can space the floor which can give more room for Collins to attack the basket and grab rebounds more, while Big O can provide both post and perimeter defense, which Collins needs improvement in…. With more set of defenders who can pass in the roster both Big O and JC should be able to get their points. Not worried about Collins. He should be able to do 18- 20 ppg with Trae and Murray. If he can improve defense, he can even be an all star player, which I think can happen. I really think this is the year both Big O and Hunter need to step up big by staying healthy and show more consistency…
you dumb lmao have no idea how good capella is 🤣😂. if and i mean if onyeka gets better then capella which is not easy for any center in the league it wont be this year your dumb again remember that 🤣🤷
Oo is supreme, only his rebounding is lackluster.If it wasn't for that,he probably would've been starting.
not many guards win 2 NCAA titles
mitch get ready 4 them lobs
Just glad knicks have a pg with elite ball handling
nailed this scouting report man, I shall subscribe
Great content,thank you a lot.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it
OO is my guy!! Let's go Hawks!
