Is Kenneth Lofton Jr the biggest steal in the 2022 NBA draft?
Maybe
Dk
he is the biggest
He is the heaviest for sure.
Hoop Reports realizing that Kenneth Lofton Jr playes on the Grizzlies(Warriors nightmare)
This is Charles Barkley 2. The ability to be so agile with that mass is amazing. I wish him all the best, a million thumbs up.
I hope he's got half as much of a mouth
That's a legit pipe dream that he's Charles Barkley 2. He likely won't even become Charles Barkley 0.5.
yup i remember sir charles playing . same with this kid
Charles Barkley was an MVP and a bona-fide HOF
Ken Lofton I am a fan, but I hope one day he can be a starter.
I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.. Looks like the suns should try a trade and bring back his style of play..
In terms of Kenny's built, strength, and a lack of expectation surrounding him despite his clear talent, I can somehow say that he is the Kung Fu Panda of the NBA world. And I'm all here for it.
YES
🤣💯
SHUT UP!!!
Man the kung fu panda HAHAHHA!
He look like he ate Kung Fu Panda!
The media is killing basketball. *They* write about the players they fancy and leave out the one's,that have the most productive effect on the basketball court. It's deeply saddening.
They've missed out on this Loften Jr kid because 85% of the media fan boys do not appreciate and understand the game of basketball, thoroughly. It's time for d men& women who excelled at this game as youngsters,to step out on the field and join in &scout the talents.
Because he's been a bully in the g league. They've taken notice, everybody sees the potential. His biggest flaw is and always will be perimeter defense. He's not fast enough to keep up with somebody 30ft from the basket. He can dribble down all he wants but when he's getting picked on when he's on defense every play, it'll eventually make him unplayable. Zion has speed and athleticism on his side. This guy is a fat traffic cone. Against the bigs who have already gained size, not rookies and 16 year olds (Chet and Wemby when they played each other) he'll get absolutely embarrassed. I'd like to see him try to dribble down Embiid. Even if he somehow accomplished getting into the paint, he'd just get blocked because he's not tall enough.
He does not have stamina nor body to play pro sports.
he can simply discipline himself and move his mouth from fastfood and junk food and stop stuffing himself and get into decent playing shape. Until that , he'll be " wish ZIon".
@@gulinp1 I think he is more athletic than you.
@@shoepermanbutthman2188 i highly doubt.
He barely played in the NBA why would they talk about him. You're a Casual.
I am a big Kenneth Lofton Jr fan. Dude is a baller. Hope he gets his break to get real NBA minutes.
Send this to the Warriors
The warriors developpement team is overreated. They won in 2022 based on players they got from trades. Now Miami on the other hands.
@@emmanuelmondesir Based off players they got from trades? Here were their main players and how they got them.
Curry: Draft
Klay: Draft
Draymond: Draft
Wiggins: Trade with Timberwolves
Poole: Draft
Looney: Draft
For what?
@@Cardinalz30 👍
Genuinely 😂😂
Wembanyama in this game its 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 blocks as the best player on both teams and 2 years younger than most players on the court.
Yeap and it wasn't close
Yeh but did he win I rest my case
Lofton came in late and still put up 16 most of those being on Wem as well and he had 7 rebounds he did more with less time on the floor that game and then to lead them over Wem and them down by 8 is even more crazy when you think bout it.
@@austindavis7187 he had 4 points on wembenyama and victor blocked him 3x lol
The guy reminds me of "Barkley and Zion".
Shorter than other, but heavy with POWER and finesse(skills)
He's a beast... He's been bullying Chet for years
No. I watched them both playing in the US vs France. Wemby was outscored and out rebounded by the team USA.
@@jeffreyclaros4562 hey dummy... I'm talking about the 300 lb monster, not wemby..
Memphis wasting his potential. trade him to Miami, they can use another undrafted player and unleashed him
Facts
Wembenyama had 8 blocks in this game...
On top of the fact he had 8 blocks... Wembenyama was 16 while everyone else on the court was 18 and 19
He was also a foot taller than everyone so there's that
@@MrE_ holmgren was the same height as him🤦
@@DanielCallanan-ux2qp chet Is like 2-3 inches shorter
not necessarily
@@iBladeSwifx ha?
kenneth lofton jr is the steal. i was searching for chet vs wembanana pre 2022 draft and i was more amazed by kenneth lol. dude is skilled af
Great coverage of this young man, I'm buying! Fan already.
lofton is a beast bro, sure he was a "zero star recruit" back then but.. you dont dont land in the US team for no reason!! also. wembys frame was soooooo thin back then. wembi will be crazy but we will se a lot more from lofton too!
wemby is still too thin
@@ajayisbetter yep but compared to that turnament he put on quite some mass and he will keep grwoing into his frame! i dont think he will ever fill it up like giannis and become a nearly unstopable physical force but he doesn't need to! his skillset will carry him far! i just hope he gets a little more muscle then KD as i am worried about injuries if wemby keeps his "slim reaper" form xD
Excellent breakdown & fun to watch
I wanted the golden state warriors to draft that guy
Reminds me on Barkley. Bully them all the way to the weight room.
I see zbo. Anyone would be happy to get half the career either one had
Woohoo! Forgot his name but remembered him playing a rookie summer camp. Took a shot in the dark when I saw your title. Cool feather in his hat thoi6🎉🎉🎉🎉
I subscribed. Great 📹
The good news for Wemby is players like Lofton Jr. are rare even in the nba. I'm more concerned about short and fast guards who tend to pickpocked him quite often.
Ain't he on the grizzly
Yes….they never play him…garbage minutes
Lofton has great post skills that Zion Williams doesnt have. Lofton also has range. Looking forward to seeing him develop into a Zach Randolph type PF
Facts
He is so slow on defense that he makes a parking lot cone look like the Flash!!! He would be absolutely unplayable in the NBA!
Or David West.
Is not about height (all of it) but of size. Because higher people can put more frame they tend to be way more dominant than shorter people, but the key in this is size. Thats the same reason how Mike Tyson dominated way bigger guys. For example, Ben Wallace being 6´9- 6´8 could absolutely demolish 7´7 Manute Bol (even tho he could get away with a couple of blocks).
bol was a bench player and I'm not talking about a 6th man either. His minutes were limited. He's sons are way better ball players then he was.
To Victor,. Welcome to NBA world where many monsters and bullies are living. You need to dissect his weakness into your advantage. Good Luck.
Hater
He was literally obliterating Chet, jesus lol 7:43
Wemby’s weakness is the inability to defend aggressive players. Gobert was scoring on him at will in the post.
He's too young then and was barely Gobert's height.
@@venkovic Was my comment about playing against rookie’s his age? Good, he’s tall. The fact is he’s going to get bodied up when facing men that not only have decent height, but strength and stamina as well.
Why do you think Durant isn’t a post up player despite his height? Why do you think Boban and Bol Bol aren’t superstars?
He may have some success in the NBA, but to claim he’ll do the same thing to the best of the world like he did to other kids from his basketball league simply isn’t taking many things into consideration.
@@venkovic He isn't Luka. Even KP isn't Luka. Wemby isn't even KP. It isn't correct to try and compare the three and claim he's going to do as well.
@@venkovic How do you know he hasn't peaked? I would stop trying to reach and just wait until he plays in the NBA. All you're doing now is using conjecture.
@@venkovic Friend, the definition of conjecture is "an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information." He hasn't played in the NBA yet. Let's wait a few months.
right on point!
Victor needs to add at least 20 to his very thin frame.
Which hel easily do
My guy! Another young man from trill city (Port Arthur Tx). Do ya thang big Lofton (junior)
Wembanyama 16 yold blocked him 4 times broo i remember this game
he put 22 8 8 if i remember and he dont play the last 5'
can you make a video about payton pritchard because in the same situation on the last day of the regular season when the starters sat out pritchard who people say is a benchwarmer had a 30 point 14 rebound 11 assist game and made 9 threes. Pritchard is 6 inches shorter than lofton and got the same number of rebounds
Victor Wenbenyama slowly but surely add little muscle 💪💪💪
He seems like Zach Randolf, quite a bit. You know, every good players just need minutes and enough playing time to be honest, their not going t o be a great player if you just wasting your time in the bench. And this is going to be good for the league because his playing style is majority in the post area, which will bring back to pf/c kind of style of play in 80's amd 90's. Beside seeing everyone shooting threes and all that stuffs it's fun to see someone really play tough basketball inside the shaded area which bring real competiveness in every big man in the league rather than shooting outside.
The Memphis Grizzlies always get the big dogs even when they was in Vancouver💯
This was interesting!
😂😂 he was 16 loool, that guys like a linebacker
Zions kryptonite.😂😂😂
Gots to learn to shoot with his right hand. Been a fan of Kenny since he came into the NBA.
Z-Bo is the obvious comparison. Almost too obvious, yet Zion's name had to be thrown out there. He didnt get drafted bc he has no defensive position in today's game. Dont think that's fair but it is what it is. Teams dont value post scoring or rebounding that much anymore. Analytics be damned, there's more than one way to play pro basketball. It's such a cookie cutter league. Hopefully Denver wins and we get some variety back in the league.
John Hotplate Williams more than likely
You know he's a big shot when the epic violin theme starts playing
I think Wemby will dominate eventually if he stays healthy. I hope Kenneth can stay healthy while being in the NBA. Though for a player of his weight.
I said that since the first time I seen him. I was surprised when he wasn’t drafted too.
kid deserve to be signed, he can field in a few productive minutes. he can bully ball for sure. he may not be blessed with height but he can carry well his weight. i watched him on u19 and was fun to watch bully the 7footers. chet and wemby may be athletic and has guard like skills but they wont be effective if they wont bulk up. their towering heights are so prone to injury so they need to work on putting a lot of muscle to their built. they need to work on it like giannis did. giannis is so skinny back then but worked so hard in bulking up. 1 ring for that worthy work ethic. good luck to these young guns.
dang bruh!!!!!!! all you said is so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my eyes is always on this kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mad my Pistons didn’t see him! This guy was easy to see as a good pickup in college. Scouts didn’t earn their salary overlooking him!
Forget Zion for the moment..
Paging:
That guy or team, who "slimmed down" that "younger Charles Barkley," you got another potential superstar over here... Let's Go K.L. Jr. !!! ... He will only get better & better, before becoming The Best !!! 👍👍
Lofton is not Barkley or Zion type of player, he is Diaw 2.0. Short and in no way near athletic but skilled and has high basketball IQ. Knows how to utilize the tools he has. The narrator of this video did not include in the context that Wemby was 2 years younger than those players they played against.
You definitely forgot to mention that when he scored 42 points, it was against the Thunder (without SGA) And they lost by 15. He had the worst +/- on the floor with -17. That's a very important stat, especially for a guy like you who tends to look at advanced stats. He'll always be a negative on defense and once he's playing against real NBA level bigs, he's gonna get embarrassed. You've shown when he played against 16 year old Wemby (who was the better player in that game) and Chet "Jack Skelington" Holmgren. When he's forced to switch onto guards like Curry, Dame, Kyrie etc. 30ft from the basket, he's gonna get blown by or crossed up and get cooked behind the line. Not the biggest steal. He might as well start his Chinese lessons.
Don’t care that this was three weeks ago. This is possibly the worst NBA take I’ve seen in a while.
Love this young guy!
The media is killing basketball.
Everyone saying that players like wembanyama are unicorns but there are more and more players like him being discovered I say the real unicorn is someone like zion or lofton jr you'd see players like those 2 alot more back quite a few years but now we rarely see players like them
Wembaniama worst nightmare ??? Wemby was 15 during this world cup, Kenneth Lofton Jr was 17
kenny lofton jr. is the modern day charles barkley.. chuck played against all of the great centers and 7 footers of the 80's and 90's and never backed down, always good for 20+ points and 10+ rebounds a night..
Lofton is a great kid I wish they would give him more playing time
Is this young man the son of MLB great Kenny Lofton?
This beast defines 'bully ball'; can't wait to see him!
No he is not..
Great video. Go underdog
I’ve seen him before he got to the nba. He is nice. If the warriors don’t draft a big they won’t make it to the playoffs. Teams are getting big guys. WAKE UP GSW.
I don’t know why he’s not compared to Porzingis more. He’s just an inch or so shorter, thin, athletic but not strong with solid skills. They’re both a little too enamored with shooting 3’s although I think Pop is going to try and keep him in the high post like Duncan.
Now, the Warriors look like lights years behind everybody else in the NBA!!! It’s becoming really ridiculous!!!
slowly but surely... he's a star of the near future...
Yes indeed!!
DubNations! You need this man's service!!
The injuries will pile up if he does not loose that weight, Like Zion.
He reminds me of David West, a bruiser and a hard worker!
Could be. The Philippines placed 3rd on an early edition of the basketball world cup riding on the exploits of 6'3" Caloy "the big difference" Loyzaga. He's got the same heft as Lofton
He's got serious game!
His confidence is too great
How I wish he will continue to Grow atleast 5 inches,the develop maturely his Peri Shooting&Low post game like Zach Randolph or Charles Barkley
Socialmedia hype those 7 skinny footers 🤣
Not Zion like. That's baby Zach Randolph
I can't really imagine why Lofton is undrafted, he is a monster.
Yikes. Both Pelicans and Grizzlies are in the Spurs' division. Wemby will have to figure it out. He has added some muscle, but that is not how he will overcome these bruisers. He'll have to use his head and have a strategy for dealing with their, um ... girth. Would love to have Lofton Jr. as a Spur! Geez, we could move Wemby to the Two! Ha!
Was it the big blue one from monsters inc?
OK, heartwarming story. I notice you didn't talk about his defense. Every team in the NBA is going to put him on an island with their best perimeter player. He'll be stuck trying to guard Curry or Dame 30' from the basket.
If - big if - he can learn NBA level defensive schemes and not just get annihilated one-on-one, then, maybe, he's a keeper. I wish him luck. If he can't do a credible job against elite perimeter players, he won't be the first G-League superstar whose game does not translate to the big league..
Ur acting like Victor could guard steph or dame any better💀 Bros getting cooked as well with his twig ass
Doesnt he play 4 or 5??
Yea most teams try to get a mismatch by switching a guard on a center, thats just how basketball is, high screen into a switch onto the 5 by a guard.
However, if you’ve seen victor’s most popular highlight, he can putback dubk from 3, meaning if he gets blown by i think he csn recover fast enough for the blick or contest.
Obviously im not saying as a 5 he will be a great perimeter defender, but i dont think a guard switching onto him will be a guaranteed blowby.
The author also said, he defended Wembanyama..
I mean... The Grizzlies can easily just put him at the 4 or even the 3 on defense to avoid a Curry or Murray pick and roll
Oh...so NOW you want to talk about defense when it comes to an NBA Player. GTFOH!!!! Nobody wants to discuss that when we talk about the top draft picks but with him, it's an issue? Sorry bro but he already showed he's a good defender. The dude could practically be charles barkley son and I'm not saying that to be funny either considering he was born in Port Arthur, Tx which is not far from houston where barkley used to live. Dude was the rookie of the year in the g-league. And move importantly, if he played in the french league that wemby played in he would dominate. he's a unique player in the same way that a 7'2" player that mobile and with handles of a guard is unique but a baller is a baller and we should never overlook talent cause they don't fit what we picture a baller should look like.
he was like a Megalodon Shark
We’ll see how many NBA games Lofton starts this year
Memphis found a light skinned Zach Randolph 💯😭🤣
This is why i though Zach Edey would be a first rd guy. Now hes back at perdue. Guy was literally the best player in college basketball, not just some big oaf
The NBA is different. He better get in that weight room.
Same dude who bullied Chet
Keldon Johnson was a recent steal. 29th in 2019
The new round mound of rebound Sir Charles the second
Boa tarde congrats vai amén bom trabalho
I think NBA Teams thinks that he will be injured easily just like Zion because of its weight that's why he did not make it to be drafted. 😅
I would like him on the Thunder to help Chet against the bigs in this league.
When wemby fully develops muscle and gets his skills and techniques dwn ol boy won't be the issue he was for him
That boy is more than 300
I LOVE IT!!! My man was early Barkley (for real). He's actually a little less athletic than Barkley. But his game was the same. Hopefully (and I do mean hopefully) he won't be like Zion;overeating, under conditioned, and injury prone because of it. I'm pulling for the BIG FELLA!!!
I been talking about lofton and everybody still underestimate him.
1:57 his WHAT
Go kenneth...dunk that ball....boy..woooo...im exited to watch you my baby boy....
now the warriors are going to have a tougher time sweeping the grizzlies in the first round LOL
Victor gon be just like Chet. A twig with nothing to show for his hype but a few injuries
victor is gonna be better then chet and also chet can still be good ur just a hater
@@DillonBRICKS he needs some muscle baaad. He will be injured after gettin blows from the bigger guys. He needs to have a protein shake IV in his arms.
Old School Bully Basketball. Bring it back!
Alvin Pasaol of Meralco Bolts 😆
Hope he gets more minutes this season. I was actually surprised he is in the summer league. Dude is done with that, he needs to play with thr big boys.
He uses his body veey well, has good basketabll iq, and can shoot outside. I like his play style compared to zion. Modern day zach randollf.
He bullied Victor because he was 2 years older and at least 100 pounds heavier than him. Now that Victor is 2 years older and has gained some muscle weight he will not bully him again
Lol age doesn't matter 🤣
@@KikoVillanueva at the small ages it counts a lot
@@SuperMario-zt7fl LoL the Gap of there age is 2 🤦🏽♂️😮💨 this is non sense 😪
WEMBY IS A LIVING SKELETON !
I agree one of the biggest steal on that draft class..
Ja and Dillon not playing doesn’t make room for Lofton Jr.
They are guards/perimeter players - Lofton is a stretch 4/5.
now you know why i was so disappointed with Orlando for trading Shaq away and breaking up the best Center Pg/Sg of the decade, (Sans Knee problem of Penny)
Wembanyama hasn't done anything that "no one has done before".
