Decoding the Dazzling Darius Garland - Player Breakdown / Scouting Reel

  • Darius Garland is a creative, thrilling 6-2, and 175-pound guard originally from Gary, Indiana. He spent a short season of college basketball at Vanderbilt for Bryce Drew, the man who always looks like he’s getting ready to take an offering, hold the hands of an older lady, thank her for her green bean casserole and pray. Might be a good career path for him now that’s he’s been fired. I KID! (I’ve been fired, I get it.)
    Darius is the son of Winston Garland, a bucket-getter himself, who spent eight seasons in the NBA with a variety of teams, from 1987 to 1995. Garland the Younger is a painter with the basketball, but he’s somewhat of a mystery, having suffered a season-ending meniscal injury to his left knee after only five games.

    I think a realistic projection for Garland is an elite 6th man. One of those "instant offense" type dudes similar to Lou Williams. I believe he'll fall somewhere between a solid bench player and an over-average starter.

    He is the clear best shooter in this draft
    Best handles in draft as well
    Plays off contact really well which will go along way in NBA
    He is big enough and long to be ok if he works hard at his craft on defense but he deff not going to be good at switch , teams will always go at him with the switch but hopefully he can use it to fuel his offense play and feed off teams trying to punish him personally on defense and he goes back at them on his side of the ball
    His passing game needs work but he can get way better at that

      Put klay or another long defender on kyrie and he crumbles...this kid isnt even that good.
      He might be the right pick depending on who's left/team but lets not act as if he isnt a guaranteed defensive liability. His shooting on ball will be hampered by defenses that invite him in to make mistakes.
      He is a comfortable shooter, the opposite of someone like Ball but brings none of the other assets/upside. His handles are overrated and he will get picked on defensively.
      And fuck no, Kyrie is not anything near AI. AI was impossible to stop with any sort of consistency. Klay does not stop AI 5x in a row in the finals. Kyrie can get highlight plays sure but they aren't even the same species. Good thing he isnt AI, then id have to worry about the Celtics.
      Id much rather my pg look like brandon ingram. The length to see over the top and be a huge problem to opposing pg's. Even jason kidd size would be much better as he was big enough to defend 3 positions and not get murdered on pnr defense.

    I've been looking to Garland a lot and I agree with you. Kyrie Irving is a completely unrealistic comparison. I think Jason Terry is a pretty good comparison. But as far as I can see there are two things that he needs to go from a Jason Terry type player to a Trae Young type is his passing ability and not playing Shooting Guard and in particular not next to Collin Sexton. If he develops his passing and the Cavs catch the hint that he's a Point Guard and a short Shooting Guard who you want guarding Shooting Guards like Paul George and Bradley Beal then he will be just fine.

    • @thedimedrop8153
