At 10-0 in the WCC, Saint Mary’s has now opened up a two-game lead over Gonzaga. The Gaels are eyeing their first outright regular season title since 2012.
This game was the 10th time in the series the two programs met while both being ranked. The Gaels picked up their second win in these games. - Sport
Dude has major game.Great to see someone else besides Gonzaga leading that conference.Good job,St.Mary's!!!!!.
Kid got a nice left hand dribble but finishes with the right. Impressive
What a great fit for him at UConn. Outstanding young man. Go Huskies!
I don’t know that I’ve seen someone get so low. His tibias are like horizontal to the floor all the time.
My new favorite player, this kid is official
St. Mary’s is a pipeline for Australian basketball talent
Yes it is, but this guy is American so that’s irrelevant!
@@timboslice8559 no hate on the kid or Aussies. I really want him in the league 😤
@@dunkkid23 oh yeah for sure I was just stating that he’s American! He deserves to eventually wind up in the league, has a real nice layup package!
@@timboslice8559 I don’t know why y’all think that just because you’re good in college means it translates to the league. You probably though Adam Morrison and hummer fridette was gonna be nice in the league too right? Two players who were much nicer, bigger, more athletic. Bro nice but his game and (especially lack of athleticism) in no was shape or form translates to the NBA
While that is true the subject of the video was born and raised in America
You got me looking at St.Mary’s tv schedule.
Great skill talent as a freshman...
This dude is special
Got a John Stockton fundamentals type game with a Lil more focus on attacking and driving
in-n-out cross to his left with the left finish is unguardable
High off the glass even the bigs can't block it.
He’s tough but I’m curious as to what his potential defensively is.
Who cares a lot dudes in the league who don't play d
He's a white boy, white boys play tough on D. I see a lot of potential.
Defense doesnt matter in basketball anymore its 2023
Almost every guard under 6 ‘ 3 is a huge liability defensively in the NBA.
none
AIDEN MAHANEY. "GAELS" Indeed.
He would fit in great with the Warriors!
Kid is gonna be a multi-time NBA all-star
Tough Role player at best, he’s under sized and there’s plenty of players that can do what he do and provide defense at his position, not that simple.
If he’s an All star, Sharife Cooper would of done it by now. He will be like Mac and go up and down from the G-League but he’s tough offensively for sure.
Tell em
@FederalYute🦄 undersized at PG at 6'4? He is a PG in the NBA. He's playing it now for St. Marys which is completely different then Mac. He isn't an athlete, he is fundermentally around and makes the right plays and balances passing and scoring better as a Frosh then McClung ever did.
@@FederalYuter You have to play at both ends
I like this guy. I hope St. Mary's wins against anyone but GU.
He’s like that
So good
He is using defenders like TIOLET PAPER!!
dude can ball
I'd like to see how he holds up in say, the Big 12 or something.
Best player in the country
Modern day Mark Price
As a Cavs fan I was a big fan of Mark Price. This kid is taller but doesn’t seem to have the quickness.
@@tgray2735 I thought of Price immediately. And Stockton and Nash. Just the way he moves. Of course if he's 50% of any of those guys he's killing it.
He came in all coached up. Don't think he will get too much better.
Oh please, the kid is 19 and you think he's peaked?! Very doubtful, basketball players don't peak at 19.
@@scooter2163 what team is going to give him that much time with the ball or run even 2 plays a quarter for him? The NBA is just another beast with a den of beasts.
@@justtestingonce He makes his own plays, he doesn't need a team to set him up. Would he do well in the NBA now at 19, doubtful, but he will only get better in the next few years.
@@scooter2163 you clearly don’t know anything about pro ball. Name one player that doesn’t need plays called for them? From Jordan to Lebron all need plays called.
@@justtestingonce doncic is one and there are others. did you watch this video of the kid making his own opportunities over and over?! Those aren't set plays so stuff your attitude towards me.
Could be a potential steal
Pretty good.
Bro is nice
When this dude learns the travel J (oh ya, step back cuz ya know, gather step) he’ll be totally unstoppable.
"And that is his first basket" TF
he reminds me of a very young stockton.
Or maybe another young WCC player, Steve Nash (Santa Clara).
WOW! Who put Mark price highlights as a troll? 😡😉
Holy crap
The most important question is - How Tall Is He ? For his sake, I hope he is at least 6 Foot 3 or 6 Foot 4 and that is too short. The NBA is getting very tall lately. It matters.
Yeah, 6’10 is the magic number for the NBA these days. You see Kyrie and Curry looking short at 6’3, but they’re generational talents. Thompson is 6’8.
I like him and he only a freshman 😂
I'm not sure but he looks as though he is double or triple jointed. He has the best flexibility of any gaurd I've ever seen in the past 55yrs. College or pro.
Glad you are enjoying his game but that statement is hyperbole
Reminds me of a short version of Maravich
@@chesterwilberforce9832 you’ve lost your mind 😂
@@11riehldealwhat's wrong with hyperbole? In this situation?
@@jelly7310 see definition of the word lol
And he's a freshman? Wow, Mahaney is going to blow up big time in his senior.
He won't last till then...2 good.. .. draft
Daaaaaaaaaang
Larry Byrd ll?
A true point guard, he takes what the defense gives him . He’ll be underrated for a bit in the league cause he’s white and it’s about politics. When he gets his fair chance he’ll be factor to a championship run if he’s drafted to a decent organization. His reads are impeccable nothing seems forced and he plays his pace; in comparison to luka everyone would claim he was slow but he had his own pace and look how it turned out. This guy will be fan favorite hopefully my lakers draft when the time comes.
Cause he white homie is a good college ball players that’s it
Pushes off just about every time he drives. And he's too short. This dude isn't going anywhere.
I'm uhhhh seeing shades of a certain player watching Mahaney. But I don't want to say it because it's an NBA Hall of Famer and I don't want people to take it the wrong way lol.
mark price?
Michael Jordan?
Nash
Stockton
pistol pete
White Lou Will
I like that! He doesn’t really play like any white player I can think of
Barely Goes Right Send Him Right
That’s because he’s always being forced left 🤦♂️
yea he's right handed so forcing him left is still ideal. He's just good at finishing with both hands! He made some tough left handed lays in this video.
@@hiitsmorgan5431 I Thought I Was Commenting On Anari Bailey Video
@@treygrask1348 I Thought I Was Commenting On Amari Bailey From UCLA Video
.... He's right handed
I know Saint Mary’s fans won’t like this….but he should really transfer to a top program, show out there which he will, and then go pro. I respect the WCC but let’s not act like playing Portland and Pepperdine are really preparing a guard for the night in night out battles in the NBA
What about maxwell lewis?
Jalen Williams (Santa Clara) may beg to differ
@@Swish.CZcams your not wrong a lot of these players in the draft are on teams that are not really known when it comes to the nba draft
Meh... While i do agree most nights he isn't gonna be tested playing in the wcc he still does get to play Gonzaga twice a year which is a good test seeing as they pretty much always have good athletes and at least one or 2 NBA guys on their roster and it will be good exposure as well cause those games are almost always marquee matchups their is also the tourney which his squad should make this year another chance to show out against elite comp and have some eyes on him again not completely dismissing what your saying because going against big time d 1 level athletes and comp would definitely help his game but we have to keep in mind a lot of the politics and stuff that goes on at the bigger schools he may vome into a new bigger program and ball out in pre season but the 5 star who he was outplaying is still gonna get more burn cause he was a 5 star and anyway guys like Damian Lillard, cj McCollum, and even ja Morant have shown you don't need to go play at a big school in order to get yourself ready for the NBA
They are playing five to six ranked teams a year as a ranked team consistently competing with Gonzaga and competing in the NCAA tournament with one of the best coaches other than not be power 5 what makes them not a top program
This young man MIGHT be Duke material.
Gaels is short for Gaelords
he might average an assist a month
He's going to start getting sued for medical bills with all the ankles he's breaking!
league him
He’s forcing in every time. Even his footwork seems awkward. Does he not pass?
A bit of tunnel vision I reckon. He needs to develop that if he's going to get there.
@@desiolle2874 but if he's pulling everyone in, that leaves the outside defenseless for ez 3s
Bro these are mainly his scoring highlights yeah he passes the ball too
@@leom5671 they're only ez 3's if he can see them
@@dwanishall23 of course he passes the ball bruh but is his passing elite or look like it's heading that way?...the scoring side looks good, is the passing good too?
this video must be fake.
Less explosive version of Mark Price.
He’s ok…. Not playing in the SEC or Big 12, PAC 12 or Big TEN every night helps
He’s still playing solid teams not just solid national ranked teams. I thinks he’s pretty good
And he’s only a freshman. 😂😂😂😂
They play Gonzaga and BYU muliple times tho, and also play PAC 12 teams quite a bit! So your point isn’t as big as you think
He’s just OK lol are you in the NBA or something?
Plays the same competition as gonzaga
He’s super overrated
Lol hatin on a freshman?!?!? Man that's tough
grayson allen jr.
Not much like Allen except how he crosses over
his pace shot selection.. passing…he just not as athletic yet. but his shot making around the room makes up for it.
He’s a PG Grayson is a SG/Wing
Ty Jerome
@@timboslice8559 watch Grayson at duke.. the 3 ball ..tough layups.. one hand floaters with contact.. slow pace but athletic. Grayson just got more bounce.
Go blue!!??!!
