I really thought Mitchell could be the next D-Wade type player. But he starting shooting a little too many threes, hasn’t really improved his ability to be a floor general type and defense hasn’t improved a at all it seems
Anthony edwards I think is on that route with his improvement
@@crazylegendstevenson4906 yeah I can agree to that for sure. He’ll be fun to watch. Seems like he has the grit too
Mitchell is great offensively, pretty close to a young Wade when he’s playing well. But yeah defensively he and the Jazz got fucking cooked.
OH MY GOD YES
Agree with you. Donovan relies too much on his 3 pointer and became a chucker.
The sad thing is that Donovan Mitchell was projected to be a great defender when he was drafted.
@@jamaaldagreatest2748 🧢 he has a 7,0 wingspan
The jazz apparently has no one play defense
@@rayburks7059 Jazz needs to surround Gobert with good perimeter defenders. and their defense would be top notch
@@hashmanboxing6688 for a 6'1 player thats crazy
@@juls4937 i mean if Dmitch can show more effort on D and pass more, jazz defo dtill can build around Gobert and Dmitch, but eith defenders and shooters around them, not just a shooter or just a defender
That was a textbook defensive performance on Trae. If they shut him down then nobody will step up, when your 2nd best player is Deandre Hunter there is a problem. Both Collins and Capela played through injuries so their impact was not big same with Bogi.
not just the fact that dre is our 2nd best player. He dropped 35 in game 5. Nate McMillan is unwilling to switch from a game plan no matter how bad it gets exposed(likely because he has nothing else drawn up). If he gave Dre the ball more throughout the series and let him work, I reckon that we could've taken 1 or 2 more games, but he decided that Trae who got as much turnovers as assists was going to carry us yet again.
Trae Young need a batman or robin in his team.
He is too small and he is the only one carrying the team. Like luka and the mavs.
@@rishibappanad more turnovers than made shots 😂😂😂
Even a healthy John Collins isn't the best second scoring option for the Hawks.
@@AqwDragulum was looking for this comment
This guy said Donovan Mitchell couldn’t guard a parked car I’m dead
Legit tho KD did play like his talent was gone in that Thunderstruck movie 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 we should’ve expected playoff KD as per usual but give credit to the Boston Celtics defense for guarding KD , they did made it tough on him with his shots
What makes players so great they are playing through challenges like teams with great defense or their own teams are not playing well or dealing with injuries like lebron in 2018 despite the challenges he made all the way to the finals with a bad roster and almost took game 1 against a great warriors team. Great players play well in the playoffs and show up when it matters the mosts and great players even on different teams and systems have made great production. Finally great players back up their play with great statics but it is not during when they game is over but when the game is still alive and also great players impact the game in many ways positive and they can be relied on when needed and can adjust to others teams defenses and play by finding ways to contribute to the team’s success. This is my take
- Trae got defended good by the Heat
- CJ had a bad match up with Bridges
- DeMar's teammates folded.
Trae choked imho a 13 PPG drop off and TS% really suffered.
@@rapgodreloaded9259 don't think so cause he got guarded well
@@phil1761 demar folded too only had one good game
DeRozan killed it-and any bulls fan knows damn well it wasn’t his fault.
Had our team been making the wide open shots-DeMar would have had like 20+ assists
The bucks double AND triple teamed him-off of EVERY pick
That is true bulls didn’t make any 3 demar would have had +10 assist with those passes he made
ANDY pick on Derozan time and time again as always..... Its just his bias..... mention lack of support when it come to Trae Young and injuries when on Nets....
But did not even mention any injuries when it come to Bulls....
Andy is just an asshole
Demar had one great game and rest wax mediocre stop it
Yeah I don't like how people are treating demar. If you guys stay healthy next year you will be scary jmo
every super star gets that treatment btw, lmao
For me it's Big Kat just a few years back executive's and GM's voted him to build their franchise around now he's about to have that team took it from him by Anthony Edwards
Jokic?
Taken
@@leclark5067 what about Jokic??
@@think4ward996 HAHAHAAHAHA GOTTEM AYEEEEE YOU REALLY SHOWED HIM BRO LMAOOOOO GO BESTFIREND
Karl Anthony Towns is the most inconsistent player in the NBA.. plus he soft af
For sure Donovan Mitchell was really a downgrade from his last two playoff appearances , and since then it’s been really stagnant , I don’t even know the Dallas Mavericks exposed his defense and his offense was just crap , that’s being honest and he got outplayed by Jalen Brunson
Either spida or Rudy gotta go, they don't fit together
@@xdawn I'm hoping for Rudy to move
@@michaelbismarckii9139 rudy aint moving with his big ass contract plus dude got completely exposed in the last 2 playoffs
@@michaelbismarckii9139 i hope Rudy move so you guys Jazz fan would see how crap your perimeter defense is.
@@konjikonjikonjikonji You right he's this generation's Roy Hibbert
I think its time for Utah Jazz to break up or rebuild. They've been doing this for years but nothing is happening. Thoughts?
I feel their supporting cast is great, they just need to get rid of their "superstars". Mitchell is potent, but not that dangerous from the range and really terrible in defense. Rudy is terrible offensively and overrated defensively.
If Rudy was payed as a role player he 8s and they brought another almost star, Utah would be a contender. This way they should get 2 better players (maybe not better than Mitchell, but with healthier attitude)
@@nnnp634 honestly, one of them needs to go while their trade value is still high. Otherwise nobody would take a $200 million & $195 million player that has been 'choking' in the playoffs.
There basically the portland Trail Blazers from a couple years ago tbh
@Peter Akin 🤡??
I think there's 3 things they need to addressed this coming off season.
1. Coaching staff needs to have a new game plan on how and when to used Gobert especially when teams exposed him as their main weakness defending the perimeter. Either they changed their coaches or comes up with a new tactic.
2. Donovan Mitchell needs to step up defensively and be the main guy what fans expects him to be. He needs to assert himself on the defensive end and be the leader on that team not just by scoring but by showing at least a little effort in defending.
3. Lack of perimeter defender is I think is their main problem why teams have a field day on the court either in the paint or beyond the perimeter.
They need a an identity and a leader who will lead them to the next level. Whether it's a coach or a vet guy who can inspire this team.
Imho cj is completely wrong on this list. He took the difficult shots for the pels, and also orchestrated the young offense. He did a great job on this part which led to giving up a bit of his own offense for the overall teamoffense. He actually suprised me. I didnt know he was that good "on his own".
People be hating on Cj he is very underrated
Fr he put up 22 a game in the series. He scored 24 in the regular season with the pels. The defense is way more intense in the playoffs. So I understand why he efficiency went down a little bit. He’s acting like he fell off a cliff or something.
CJ just joined this Pelicans team after the trade deadline. He played well for them this season and hope he builds on it for next season.
imo it’s not possible for Gobert to shy away from the spotlight when everyone on the court including him knows he’s not even gonna get the ball even when he’s in a good position to score
Same o thought that last bit was a hot take
This duo gotta split up if the jazz wanna get anywhere
Good. Ship Gobert to san francisco.
Shaq would say "i would've demanded the ball. every time i seal my guy under the basket, I'M STAYING THERE. don't throw me the ball, and watch how many 5 second calls i get!!!" Rudy is a $200 million dollar guy. if he wants the fucking ball, not even donovan can stop him.
These vids introduced me to Kevin McLeod YEARS ago, love the vids, love the music man!
I won't be surprised if Levine is gone next season. The Bulls did what they could but Levine isn't winning a chip there. he just said that he is going to test FA and he is excited to do so. Also when he was asked if he is staying he said that he wanted everyone to realize he just gave 5 years to the Bulls. So i really think he's gone. Derozan isn't getting any better in the playoffs
it's crazy that 26ppg on average efficiency is bad for durant
Its playoffs. He needs to be better, he is. Just got locked 🔒🔒
For a player that's considered one of the best (if not the best) in the league, the expectations are sky high.
39% fg is not average.
@@niggaplz6216 52 percent true shooting is around league average
It’s wild to see the athletes who get the excuses made for them versus those who don’t. People weren’t even sure KD was going to return close to himself after the Achilles injury. Now, it’s back to expectations.
When you get compared to Lebron James, the most scrutinized athlete on the planet, then that’s what’s going to happen
Dang you’re right. Tbh my mind blurred the fact that he tore his Achilles.
Demar Defrozen strikes again. Never trust this man in the playoffs. Him and Harden are playoff liabilities.
If you look into it the entire big three underperformed. The bucks defense heavily loaded up on him and doubled him excessively. He always made the right reads instead of forcing dumb shots against Jrue. His teammates couldn’t hit fish in a barrel. He had some putrid shooters around him and the good ones around him were either hounded (LaVine) or whiffing (Vucevic).
@@mutandaeffiong2685 blah lame excuses, still Demar Defrozen is the most overrated player especially in the playoffs if you his history.
@@daveyap9317 you need context to judge a player. He still dropped 40 on the bucks defense making tough shots over Giannis. Any superstar will struggle against thus bucks defense especially if they can load up on you.
@@mutandaeffiong2685 still overrated to me.
@@daveyap9317 I’ll just respect your opinion and call it a day but you should look into the context of a situation first.
Not really surprised with DeRozan. He's always like that in the Playoffs
Yea that's why he is traded to the spurs, and after that raptors win a chip. Haha
@@motivationeveryday8292 no way, raptors won because lebron goes to the west and won't able to clinch playoffs
Dude got no excuse bron ain’t nowhere in sight 🤣
DeFrozan
@@edwardfidelbaddal4210 raptors with kawhi are beating the cavs in 19 😂 in 5 if cavs get a lucky one in
Anthony Edwards might have been their best player but he was definitely not playing like a veteran. Idk if you saw the elimination game but the inexperience was palpable. Good vid otherwise
Compared to KAT and DLO he looks like a vet
I’m not hardcore T wolves guy, but the premise that people would have high hopes for DLO seems questionable
I think CJ McCollum played great this post-season
fr kinda went over everyone’s expectations tbh
Finally someone said it! Donovan was the clear weak point of the Jazz yet people blame Gobert for every loss. Donovan doesn't play any defense and was never an efficient scorer
Mitchell is playing at his peak, averaging over 20 FGA per game. His peak however has been 4 seasons long and I dont see it going down anytime soon. He is remarkably consistent in his scoring over the last four years averaging 25ppg on 20 fga and 5fta with a FG% varies around .017 from season to season. Outside of his rookie season there are no outliers.
I dont see him getting better although there might be a season where a coach lets him shoot more and his scoring ticks up but otherwise this is the best version of Mitchell we will see offensively. In a lot of ways he's a lot like another Utah player, Darrell Griffith, an undersized SG who was remarkably consistent his first 5 or 6 seasons before he blew out his knee and became a much different player out of necessity.
That's still pretty excellent. As a #1 scorer hes not the kind of player who will win you a title BUT if he played for say the Celtics or T-Wolves where he is a 2nd or 3rd scorer he might become a very valuable cog on a Championship team. Hell, his efficiency might even go up if teams cant have to split defensive duties on the court to guard Mitchell and whomever the #1 scoring option are.
But he wont win in Utah unless the team can bring in a bonafide 20+ppg scorer with range. He's excellent but not that excellent.
Good analysis
All right yessir Andy Hoops Wednesdays here we go 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏
I get it but cmon... Do we really expect Derozan to beat Giannis?
He did beat Giannis before. But back then Giannis hasn't peaked and the team was mediocre
no, but at least play better
denver vs nuggest was by far the most entertaining series i ever watched
Hahaha....Denver vs the Nuggets lol
It's crazy to think how KAT and Dlo are considered veterans now lmao. It seems like yesterday when they were seen as young stars
It’s weird because they both recently became veterans when they turned 26 this season
NBA is just so weird because you can enter the league at 18-19, so by the time you're barely 26, you're 7 or 8 seasons in. 8 years in the NFL and you're probably 30 or 31 lol
Great analysis!
Btw this isn’t the first time KD got shut down like this in the playoffs
yea he played terrible series but still averages 26, by not the first time what year are u talking about tho
2:53 😂 I’m not gonna forgot that (ish )😂 😂😂😂
But for real nice videos 😊😊😊
I feel like Kevin Durant had a monster sucked out of him like that scene from space jam when the monsters were taking the souls of the players
Pause
He needs 2 all star teammates to look good
@@marekokragy3341 😂😂😂
It's time for another interesting video by mr andy keep going Godbless
“Defensively, he couldn’t guard a parked car.” Classic line, Andy!
I really think harden and Durant leaving OKC, cursed them and Westbrook.
Durant got 2 titles, the 2 titles that all 3 shoulda won if they stayed together. Now Durant's 2, arnt even worth as much, if he woulda stayed. I'm still.bitter over that OKC debacle.
KD was playing like someone stole his talent in thunderstruck sheesh
Its like people don't watch basketball. Smh, DeRozan played just fine but his team didn't. He only really played bad in game 1, after that it was his team that let him down. When you get doubled the entire time because you're the only real threat to score, what do you do? All you can do is hope they start scoring otherwise you can't do very much. This is how I know you only looked at the stats and didn't watch the games past game 1 if you even watched that.
Derozan literally has only 1 good game and that was game 2 when he dropped 40. Game 1: 18 points on 24 percent. Game 3: 11 points on 44 percent. Game 4: 23 points on 40 percent. Game 5: 11 points on 50 percent. For a guy who averaged 28 ppg in the regular season he played like ass.
Do something else derozan he was useless unless he was scoring
Love seeing defense in the nba
Not much was expected from CJ and Pelicans against a 1st seed Suns but maybe CJ could have done a lot better
The issue with Donovan is he clearly doesn’t want to be there imagine your pg not wanting to pass to your center and just shooting whatever shot he wanted
Dam I thought cj played well during the playoffs
I actually surprised nobody talked about how poor he played in the postseason
Great video
Marcus Smart deserves his respect. He’s a hounding defender.
It's funny how sometimes the little point guard can be the baddest dude on the team. Respect
Donovan Mitchell is the new DeRozan-great offensive player in the regular season that doesn’t make an impact in the playoffs and plays horrible defense
To be fair d Mitchell went crazy thr playoffs the previous 2 years. I wanna see how he plays next season before saying he doesn't preform in the playoffs.
Jokic?
@@leclark5067 Jokic made a impact in the playoffs.
@@leclark5067 Jokic was crazy good
@@flexadventure4192 bubble
Demar gets a pass bro they had Zo AC and Zach missing.
Donovan peaked too early and because it seemed like he became a star quicker comparing to his draft mates, people overrated him. Donovan can score but is very limited and didn't show any signs of improvement in his game.
History repeat itself like DWill
I expected more from Anthony Davis oh wait he didn’t make the playoffs….

Then why talk about him…
I think it would be very cool if you made a video looking back on your previous predictions
For DeRozan it's obvious, he has anxiety issues and pressure of the play-off games is just too much for him to handle...
Nah you didnt watch the games he was balling. Thats straight cap he had no help
Warriors back in WCF, Durant is fishing in Cancun with LeBron🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
is that a Cosgrove channel bg music in the beginning?
Dude. CJ should not even be on this list. He did fine vs Suns. Putting him 2nd makes no sense.
Trae should be number 1 followed by Donovan.
Kd and kyrie should be 2 and 1. both got shut down.
KD and Kyrie should have been much higher on this list
kyrie doesn't even play m,uch. he should be put into hall of shame with Ben simmons./
To be fair with Trae, being smaller compare to his peers then the Heat who is elite & hardworking on defensive is focus on him, it's too much. So, i'll give this more to the Heat than Trae falling short.
Trae had 3 ppl on him at times
He was getting guarded by Jimmy, PJ, And Bam in the same possession repeatedly 😭😭😭
Yeah, if any player is getting that kind of attention by a team in multiple possesions throughout the game, that's basically them saying "Alright, he's that dude, let's bring him down".
Effort by the Heat > Trae falling short
@@tazkannon7403 exactly!
Imo CJ did a good job in the playoffs. Could be better efficiently but still did great. I don’t think he deserves to be on this list tho.
When I see Andy, I press a LIKE button
“If you have a coveted all-star, he should not be getting outplayed by Jalen Brunson.”
things change so fast it’s wild coming back to this vid in 2024
I didn't expect anything from CJ, whose presence in the playoffs was miraculous to begin with anyway. Then, I believe DeRozan, Mitchell and Young are way, way overrated. So, I wasn't surprised by their failure.
If those 3 are overrated, then any star who didnt make it to playoffs are?
@@pastjdzz yep. I know the whole system wants you to think many players are amazing, but the truth is only a few truly are. They may shine during the regular season, it doesn't mean they're great.

Wolves was 4th seed and fell 7th so fast
I remember when the bulls where top 1-3 seed..
They said DeRozan should be MVP.
LoL!
Naw I can’t put that much blame on trae cuz of the help, and u said it too, I believe he will bounce back, he’s got insane potential
Teams have been guarding Curry for years, so a lesser version like Trae without great teammates is easy to guard for good D.
It’s not hard to defend a team that is reliant on one guy.
@@ternedo6074 this is what the Warriors are doing every team they face in playoffs right now, they letting the best player of a team to do as he wants to the point the Superstar get exhausted for doing it all and his teammates will be guarded heavily if the superstar even dare to pass the ball to his teammates, this is the same gameplan Ja and Jokic faced on Warriors, same gameplan on Trae againts the Heat. I just noticed it that Warriors secretly exploiting this type of gameplan and noone noticing it.
Bruh CJ had a good series man he took these bunch of kids to the playoffs and actually they fought the NBA tittle favorites they didn't get swept man Don't understand why you don't have Kyrie and KD at 1
"defensively he couldn't guard a parked car" made me holler
CJ shouldn't be here in my opininon. 1st and 2nd spot should be 2 Jazz stars or Nets.
Cj was balling idk what you’re talking about he performed and no even expected the pels to do that good
Davis don't deserve to be in 75.
Facts
tbh I wasn't expecting more from kd and Irving. They're soft and past their prime. good luck winning a chip in brooklyn.
I thought everyone knew the bulls weren’t gonna do jack in the playoffs. Two inefficient difficult shot makers who play little defense with a horrible defensive big isn’t ever gonna work anymore. Horribly constructed team, hopefully they turn it around.
I forgot A. Edwards is a 2nd year player. He is a monster already.
CJ was great in the play offs. they just faced Suns but still gave them headache.
I just knew that Jazz is weak, even when they were number 1 last year.
How's going Andy?
This video will need to be updated soon. Harden need to be in the lists.
Was wondering when you were going to get to this
D Mitchell is a hell of a player he’s been in the playoffs damn near every year since he was in the league and robbed of a roty.
I didn't expect anything different from D'Angelo Russell and Karl Anthony Towns both are regular season players.
As a Bills fan I'm glad the Bulls got one win because of Derozan better than getting swept
Andy did you purposely put Trae Youngs pic there since his jersey number is 8 n the video is about 8 players the fans expected more from or u didn't noticed?
as a heat fan i was really disappointed by the playoffs performance from herro, sure he won 6th man but he didn’t transition this from regular season to playoffs. my boi lost his minutes just because he couldn’t play defense. i couldn’t also remember a good game from him in that playoff run, he should have been the one helping jimmy at least in terms of scoring. i’m still bitter about that loss vs celtics i feel like we could have won it if jimmy got help.
To me i dnt think cj disappointed he got trade mid season and his team will come back with Zion lol
You need to add the Suns to this list Andy
Next vid: we expected more from these players, 2nd round edition
Soon to be added: James Harden
Can you make a vid about the Raptors this year as well? They really played their hearts out with only g league and undrafted players.
Utah might blow it up. Way too much committed to Gobert, who’s looking more and more like a one trick pony. Hopefully they can trade him, retain Mitchell, and try again.
Ironic, because Mitchell's a one trick pony too. Still the same play style since he got drafted
When will Jazz fans realize Gobert is not the problem. Jazz won’t win anything until their perimeter defense improves.
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
How come Trae doesnt get flack for lack of support, but Derozen does? I understand Derozen has a reputation, but this season was different
You've already nailed it, Derozan has been in the league for so long but ALWAYS comes up short in the playoffs.
Trey has been to the playoffs twice in his young career. Once he was amazing but second time he couldn't handle it but you gotta give him more time before starting to give him flack for it
Different how? He always regresses in the playoffs. Nothing new. He had all the support in Toronto and he still got destroyed by Lebron (not Lebron’s team. Lebron himself lmao)
Case in point: He got traded for Kawhi and they won a championship immediately afterwards
@@icupnibba3533 Demar had guys out theyhad no shot
Fun Factoid: I'm one of the few to notice that worst Playoff stat from DeMar. Melo is the second closest next to DeMar. DeMar DeFrozen back at it again.

Dudes a professional hater 🤣
Trae had more TOs than made FGs in the playoffs. I think he had the worst showing. The problem for the Jazz is also that Conley aged like 10 years in a year, they need another dynamic backcourt player
kat is the softest player in the league
I would argue Embiid, dude is ultra big and strong, and so soft, yells when someone touches him a little bit, can flop, and complains to refs a lot.
Thats the 8 person u expect too much andy.
