Zeller actually got drafted because of his athleticism, idk where you got that he was "unathletic". He had a Top 5 vert in his class and had the highest vert for a big man in the previous decade. Also had agility and speed.
@@renzocabarco472 yeah. He just didn't have the skill set of a Top 5 pick as a big. Wasn't a dominant scorer or rim protector and went to a team that pretty much needed him to be dominant lol.
Sad to say he's done... His injuries were far too significant. His athleticism was the biggest part of his game. His ability to blow by defenders and create space. He's still very crafty, but he can't create his own shot the way he used to be able to, without having a defender hanging all over him. The dude was legit on his way to superstardom. I remember watching the first round series Cavs/Pacers in 2018. Oladipo looked like a top 5 player in the league. And his transformation from the prior season to that current season was insane. He was a clear cut number 1 option and there was no question. So it's sad to see. Really is.
it's always interesting looking back at drafts and wondering if some players didn't live up to their potential because of their own limitations or the team/coaches failing to actualize it. I'm not sure Giannis develops the way he has in any other environment.
As a bucs fan, I obviously remember this as the best draft we've had since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. However, at the time I was fucking pissed because I had just got off watching Alex Lynn at Maryland and I was super mad that the bucks didn't have a chance to draft him because I thought he was going to be the next great center. Oh God how much I love how wrong I was
That's actually not a bad take considering Giannis was meh as a rookie. But idk if he would have been the player he is now if he was standing in LeBron and Kyrie's shadows.
@@guesswhonot1620 yeah giannis is the player he is now because pf how the bucks helped him develop and his own hard work the cavs aren’t helping anybody
Giannis was never THAT skinny. A well-proportioned frame. Pretty much what most players look like at 18 years old. And he STILL is not at all heavy. IN SHAPE, yes, but that is something of an optical illusion that ALL body builders are aware of. They might drop as much as 30 lbs. in the weeks before a contest, and look BIGGER. I doubt if he is any more than 30 lbs heavier now than when he came into the league.
usually if oyu are drafting top 5, you are 2 or 3 players away from solid playoff contenders. why these guys wouldnt take a shot on giannis is a shock to me. i think Chet Holmgren will have a similar career path to Giannis, maybe more assist oriented though.
I like video, but I would like to write the name of the players and their stats on screen, since you speak pretty fast and it's quite easy to lose track. All the best.
Not sure if you've already covered it but i definitely would love to see the video about players selected before Jokic? This would be like...an hour long right? 🤣
Shaq once said that Giannis is himself in the modern NBA... That dipper dunk that he executes so well tells me that Giannis is more like Wilt in the Modern NBA... and that is scarier than you think, since Milwaukee had Kareem, who played against Wilt early in his career... No, Milwaukee just went and made a modern day WILT
A better story would be the 1986 draft which at the time was considered by experts to not only be the deepest draft class in years based on the amount of NBA level players available but also had like 45 or some odd players selected ahead of Dennis Rodman......tell me what the hell happened to those 40 some odd players who all were deemed more valuable than Rodman was in his career to his teams....outside of all star Center Brad Daugherty who went 1st overall.....I would say most of the players picked before Rodman never had close to the career success on a basketball court as Rodman
Bro… like what happened to athletes this year… wasn’t 2013 the ej manual led draft for the nfl. Like at least you got 3 above average players at least in the top 15… 😂
bro timberwolves are stupid i still wonder why i root for them we passed on curry TWICE and passed on giannis and also traded now a nba champ and a great player andrew wiggens and we traded half of our team for rudy gobert also keep jimmy unhappy trading him also trading kevin love and cant forget zach lavine
Fyi to the maker of the video. Great video overall. Gianni or Yianni considers himself Greek he speaks Greek fluently and speaks English with a Greek accent. His parents were immigrants he was born in Athens Greece.
Zeller actually got drafted because of his athleticism, idk where you got that he was "unathletic". He had a Top 5 vert in his class and had the highest vert for a big man in the previous decade. Also had agility and speed.
Had a pretty touted offensive game too as a prospect. He's solid. One of the original screen assist guys.
@@renzocabarco472 yeah. He just didn't have the skill set of a Top 5 pick as a big. Wasn't a dominant scorer or rim protector and went to a team that pretty much needed him to be dominant lol.
You wrote a paragraph about a nigga who average 5ppg, 4reb?
Top 5 worst takes
Jimmer doesnt actually do research. For any of his videos.
now do this for every player drafted before Jokic.
That video would be like an hour long lol
I really miss watching Giannis he is my fav player to watch. Cant wait for the new season to begin
I've run out of old highlights to watch..
I’m just sad injuries pushed Oladipo’s progress off a cliff. Maybe he’ll have one or two more runs back to All-Star level or something
He won't no team would lean on a washed up player (respectfully (
I think he'll brake trough this season
You’re delusional af if you think he could ever be an allstar again 😂. I’m just happy he turned down the pacers offer. They got lucky there

Yea fr it’s probably some butterfly effect or move a pebble and change the whole timeline type shit
Insane vid keep up the good work
0:37 Giannis literally looing like Jordan lol
lowkey
GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO#34 .. BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA .. HEADED FOR 🐐 STATUS ..
Jimmy Butler
Great vid
I'd argue at the point they even said giannis was a reach at that point!! Most had him as a late first rounder!!
Zeller being "unathletic" has to be the worst take of all time. Dude has some of the best marks in the combine.
Yeah that’s why he was drafted so high
After watching the movie Rise, I only now truly appreciate how hard his come up wss
As a bucs fan, I obviously remember this as the best draft we've had since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

8:53 "Out of nowhere" nah thats what happens when 4 starters on your team leave in an offseason, you get more opportunity
Glad you changed up your cadence, it was grating. Always liked your content, but couldn't watch too much due to the audio
so if the number one pick was the best guy in the draft, there could’ve been a possibility that giannis, bron, kyrie would’ve played together
That's actually not a bad take considering Giannis was meh as a rookie. But idk if he would have been the player he is now if he was standing in LeBron and Kyrie's shadows.
@@guesswhonot1620 yeah giannis is the player he is now because pf how the bucks helped him develop and his own hard work the cavs aren’t helping anybody

I sort of agree with you, but he is 243 now...a 53 lb increase. 190-243
usually if oyu are drafting top 5, you are 2 or 3 players away from solid playoff contenders. why these guys wouldnt take a shot on giannis is a shock to me. i think Chet Holmgren will have a similar career path to Giannis, maybe more assist oriented though.
Pistons woulda just traded him with Middleton to Milwaukee anyways 🤣🤦🏻♂️
I think Noel will be perfect for the young bigs in Detroit this season
He went to the high school that I might go to
@@noahcarter1098 I went to the same high school Sloth from Goonies went to
This is a certified hood classic
🔥 vid
I am glad they made a movie on this man
5:48 that airball was crazy☠
1:08 the way he gripping that bottle crazy ngl
I like video, but I would like to write the name of the players and their stats on screen, since you speak pretty fast and it's quite easy to lose track. All the best.
Not sure if you've already covered it but i definitely would love to see the video about players selected before Jokic? This would be like...an hour long right? 🤣
Yep lol he was like the 40th pick
Noti gang
🥶 vid
Gotta do something about the voice man, and the cadence, intonation…please.
I wish you would have should that Clip of Masai Ujiri trying to trade up to Draft Giannis.
Also the reason Shabazz didn't go earlier was because he lied about his age and the league found out.
I love u an okc fan me too

Repost this an old video?
I always like how jimmer asks for like 6 -7 like and he always gets thousands haha
Can you do Paul George next
Okc could’ve had the Greek freak 😭😭😭
More of this with other players
Giannis Antetokounmpo best player in the world now 🤔🤔🤔
8:33 Why does CJ look older then than he does now? 😂
i think most of the scout usually just watch their play an does not take into account their mentally and and work ethic
do every player drafted before isaiah thomas

there is another video on this, from dimez
do "what happened to every player drafted after Ben Simmons"
People sleeping on Holmgren. Give him time. He will be awesome. But Giannis is a beast!!!
Superstar or bust for all 2nd picks
Just me or young Giannis looks a lot like mbappe
I feel like you said Cody Zellinger. Did you say Cody Zellinger?
why didn't you mention that OPJ is a champion
Imagine Kings Drafting Giannis.
Jesus loves you and God bless yall
Giannis should have been a hawk. I believe they were the first team to bring him overseas and they had 2 picks after Milwaukee
Masai wanted him for the raptors too. He has a lot of "What if" scenarios regarding where he could've been drafted.
Imagine trae and giannis that'd be crazy
@@jeromechung1821 assuming the Hawks were bad enough to even draft Trae
@@mosstwig3591 yeah yeah ik just imagine tho hahaha
Well this seems like an exact copy of a video by someone else
swear ive seen this vid before
Bro… like what happened to athletes this year… wasn’t 2013 the ej manual led draft for the nfl. Like at least you got 3 above average players at least in the top 15… 😂
Bulls nation winning the championship
Shabazz gave me 40 in highschool. I got 4 doe
He coming to the bulls
ceazy how giannis and Stephen curry could have been in the same team
Giannis Lebrun Kyrie and love that would of been fun
All my homies love JimmerRange
Hi
Imagine if the Cavs picked the Greek Freak #1
They could’ve stunted his growth. Situations matter
U mean the Knicks not the nets
Do you talk like a robot in real life. Asking for a friend
Has got to be one of the worst draft classes tbh
#VictorNeverShouldHaveLeftIndiana 🤷🏼♂️
bro timberwolves are stupid i still wonder why i root for them we passed on curry TWICE and passed on giannis and also traded now a nba champ and a great player andrew wiggens and we traded half of our team for rudy gobert also keep jimmy unhappy trading him also trading kevin love and cant forget zach lavine
yes saaaa
Regeheheheheheu
First
zion babies him
shabazz muhammed better
Dude still doesn't know ball TRASH channel.
Fyi to the maker of the video. Great video overall. Gianni or Yianni considers himself Greek he speaks Greek fluently and speaks English with a Greek accent. His parents were immigrants he was born in Athens Greece.
