5 2019 NBA Draft Prospects With A LOT To Prove In The NCAA Tournament
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2024
- Seemingly every single year, a handful of NBA draft prospects take advantage of the opportunity that the NCAA tournament provides to give one last impression and make a statement about their perceived strengths or weaknesses at the next level. Whether it is a late 1st round prospect that jumps into lottery conversations, a 4 year player that starts getting previously unseen 1st round consideration... or in more dramatic cases - movement within the top 10 or even top 5 of the draft. And with the 2019 NCAA tournament now upon us... this draft class provides a unique opportunity for those prospects that still have something left to prove... because well, basically all but one of them do in fact have things about their games to prove or disprove. There is a 99% chance that Zion Williamson is going to be the 1st overall pick in this years draft... but beyond that, maybe more so than in any draft class in recent memory, things are entirely up in the air.
With that said, welcome back everybody my name is Tucker, and today’s video is going to focus on 5 prospects that could dramatically increase or decrease their draft standing based off of their performance in this years NCAA tournament. These are players at the top, middle, and end of the 1st round that could see huge movement in their draft projection depending on how well they play over the next few weeks... and I’ll also talk about what specifically they need to show and to prove to NBA draft evaluators to put themselves higher in the draft order... lets go ahead and get started.
Full list:
RJ Barrett, Duke
Coby White, UNC
Rui Hachimura, Gonzaga
Cam Reddish, Duke
Ja Morant, Murray State

Why I don't use NBA video in my content anymore: / 1026906340030115840 - Sport
Ja has been a hero to small town Kentucky basketball. I’ve never felt more involved in the college basketball scene before he arrived. Met him once on campus at Murray. Extremely humble and deserving of all his success.
Chase B saw him ball out at Auburn. The man’s a beast, and I hope he does well in the tourney
I'm a Marquette guy and I'm scared shitless. We're in a slump and Ja is a beast.
I saw him play against Marquette in Hartford and he is a very good player,And passes the ball around.He's a very talented player and I think he could go very high in the draft, maybe even number one.
@@wayneroderick2554 Zion needs to have a career ending injury to not go first. Any other year you're right.
Chase B facts bro keep grinding
Coby White is so underrated
Colby2001 Coby White is good but he’s not underrated as an nba prospect and he is no kyrie
He is better than Kyrie, Forget it steph curry
Wayne Roderick joke right ? My humor must be lost
@@wayneroderick2554 I'm not too familiar with his game but it is impossible to know how good any of these guys will be so early. Even with Zion, we won't really know how good they are until a few years into their NBA careers.
Morant had a triple double and Murray State advanced
Let's be honest, Donte DiVincenzo was a late second round pick before the March Madness...he made a huge jump.
André Vital Pardue Na no way ur so crazy
@@andrevitalpardue5097 the sarcasm flew right over your head
I've seen coby white take over games completely and just dominate by himself. I really do see that Kyrie, Kobe comparison not based on play style but based on that X factor. I just wanna see if its a fluke or not
It is awesome to see this channel grow each video. Always interesting to see your takes! My favorite NBA channel!
I feel another unc player has slipped under the radar, Cameron Johnson knockdown shooter with decent height and good rebounder I think if he plays well in the tournament he deserves to be a 1st rd pick
I can really see him going in the 13-20 range as well what limits him is his age which is like 22 or 23 since he is a grad transfer senior.... but yeah love his game and really think he has a place on an NBA roster
Agreed saw him play and was like man this guy should be a lottery pick
Shhhh lol. Hope everybody keeps sleepin on him so the Jazz can pick him up late 1st round.
Night Life the jazz are good with selections in late first round
I still remember that boy justice Winslow went on s hot streak during the tournament shooting wise and fooled people thinking he could shoot but he’s still a solid player especially when Miami moves him to pg
Totally agree with the assessment of White. I don't understand how he can be in the 20s in the draft while Cam Reddish is top 5. I get that Reddish is 4 inches taller, but it's not like White is small for his position. And he's better at, well, everything besides defense.
To be honest little is even above white
He's rising up. He should be a top 10 pick. Reason why Cam is higher is because of his potential.
@@hudeifiabdihakin7731 not true at all
I wonder which tournament hero is going to drastically increase their stock and then become a bust?
Your mom
Air Tess YT Nice
Example: Steph Curry
Ap3x Catfish Steph curry is a bigger bust than Anthony Bennett
@@logancatz5916 Yeah smh Steph curry massive bust
I ve probably watched 5-6 videos about the upcoming draft before. Boring!
This is the only video I really really liked and enjoyed watching. Great job as always dude!
I love Ja and I think(and hope) he’s legit. A lot of mid-major players have been slept on. Look at guys like Dame.
And CJ
You could even say Steph
Mo's Games Absolutely.
Also, this guy will likely be a role player in the NBA (3 point shooter who rebounds well) but hailing from the same conference as Ja, watch out for Dylan Windler.
And Jimmer...
You are so on about all of these players man. I really enjoy your content bro. Keep up the good work!
Ja Morant is a hot name, but I’ll pick a player from the same conference who’s team was on of the last at larges: Dylan Windler of Belmont. He’s 6’7/6’8, plays the stretch four for Belmont and is really good at it too, scoring 21 points per game with 43% shooting from behind the line on 7 attempts per game; he also has shown NBA range already in college. He also is a good rebounder, though isn’t the most athletic or the best defender. Still, there’s a reason he’s averaging 21 and 11, and if he can show out against Temple, Maryland, and then against an athletic LSU team, a shooter like him may move up the draft boards; if he’s seen as a stretch four at the next level, which I personally do, he’d likely be one of the 3-5 best shooting full time fours (as in, that’s the player’s primary position) in the league day one.
Wanna know who else showed NBA range in college? Lonzo Ball
Yu3ri you know what Windler has the Lonzo didn’t? The form to let that shot translate to the NBA. Also won’t have the kind of potentially confidence killing scrutiny that zo did.
Rob Dawg yeah that may be true but with the nba evolving nba teams would most likely rather have a more athletic player especially the rebuilding teams
Cam Not true at all. I’d rather have someone more skilled with less athleticism. Luka doncic is the perfect example.
Yu3ri teams obviously aren’t going to take a athletic bum
For me:
1) Terance Mann - Lengthy, level-headed, and mature guard that can do a bit of everything. Can mature into a good role player or starter on the right team like the Spurs, Heat or Nuggets.
2) Phil Cofer - 3 & D vet that plays hard and can give teams that spark off the bench. Could see him getting picked in the 2nd round or getting onto a G-League team.
3) Keldon Johnson - underrated and can possibly catapult himself into the lottery.
4) Tacko Fall - he’s 7’6”. That’s basically it. He’s gotten progressively better over his time at UCF but is still a project with tons of upside.
5) Tre Jones - he’s a floor general. If he has a game or two during the tournament where he UNDOUBTEDLY was the reason for an efficient offense then he’s golden. Locking down some of the higher ranked PGs would help too.
Most underrated basketball CZcamser ever! Keep it up!
Congrats for 50k subscribers!! I hope you reach a million in the future!
You nailed RJ Barrett. He forces to many shots and doesn't pass.
best channel one of the only youtubers i could consistently watch for 10+ mins thank you for all the content you put out ❤️
Broussard, Chris Broussard shut up chris broussard thats why you dont have your own show on espn
Cameron Jonston of UNC is so underrated, probably because he is 23 years old
HEY thanks a LOT i really enjoy your videios
Good list
Your one of my favorite CZcamsrs
Oh yeah, Murray going to the league. They blew out Marquette. He good. 17 pts, 11 reb, 16 ast.....GREAT numbers for an NCAA tourney game. We'll see how he does moving forward...but his stock going up.
White facial expressions reminds of me Danny Brown
Also imo you could’ve added tyus battle on Syracuse because when we played duke again in the tourney it was pretty close until the last bit without his scoring he could jump up if he shows how much of a workload he can carry on offense also nassir little on unc has is still intriguing with the defensive potential but his offense his so raw it’s hard to see him rise but a good tournament could get him a winslow bump
You make really good videos man definitely not awkward to watch just subbed
Ur Spot On With everything except I would compare coby white to monta Ellis
Rj was never a 3 point sniper he takes them and is respectable If he has an incredible one i believe he can be the number pick in some draft boards again
Zion's whole offensive game is raw. He still has stuff to prove
Yup.
His post up game is solid. Not pretty but too dam efficient
1301407gl because it’s college. Also he is just bigger than everyone right now.
Really weird random question but is that a middle creek high school hoodie that you’re wearing?
I’m a state fan and I love coby white crazy we think alike
RJ: Try to make his teammates better
- Basically sums up all the points about one-man showing and being inefficient. With how much praise Steve Nash gave his godson, I expect him to play with the high IQ we know he has.
Coby: Be the leader
- Funnily, the opposite of what RJ need to do. Watching him in the Duke matchups, he looks like the 2nd best player on the floor aside from Zion. He's scoring and creating with feistiness, but he feels like a secondary or tertiary player when he should be the one calling the shots.
Rui: Experience
- He can be a Derrick Favors or get a shot and become a Millsap. He just needs to continue to flesh out his game and keep playing. Nothing really to add.
Cam: Everything not related to his body
- The biggest problem I have with Cam is his turnovers/fouls, this feeling that everytime he's targeted something bad is going to happen. I don't know if it's IQ, comfort level or bust signs. Cam needs to steal as many tips from his teammates and coaches to unlock his potential.
Morant: Higher level competition
- 10 assists at any level is no joke and he's crafty enough to get to the FT line, but I feel Morant's situation is the perfect storm. You look at his team and his style of play and the conference he plays in and he stands out as someone who should have been recruited to a better school. Now, he has to show in 1v1s and in team play, he is on the same level as the Big 12, SEC, ACC guys.
*Bonus: Zion: Dominate
- We've seen how good Zion can be, but he looks like the perfect secondary player, a person you put next to a great facilitator to unlock their best use or around shooters. I don't think he's a leading man, BUT that doesn't mean he can't be a first overall pick as a complimentary player can be a star (easiest examples: the KD/PG to Russ or the Blake to CP3). He can dominate in a league dominated by scoring guards because his space to operate is open. He just has to keep dominating (simple, right) where he should.
He shoots 46% rj does so your whole arguement destroyed
@@aaronaaron5286 He also takes 19 shots which is 6 more a game than the next person and 31% from 3. He was also touted as someone who could play point. If he shifts over the playmaking more, he lessens his shots, becomes less 1-D so he's able to get better looks, and his general basketball IQ increases as he's able to better read offenses and defenses. You have to understand that RJ is still a top prospect with his faults, but it's his most glaring flaw. Shooting 46% doesn't mean he can't be a better teammate on a team that clearly needs playmaking to get going.
@@blackmanwhitesuit4.1 assists is pretty good his coaches and Steve nash say he good passer and they know way more about game then you
@@aaronaaron5286 4.1 isn't good enough for a primary ball handler even with the support of his teachers. I also didn't say he doesn't have the IQ. He has the IQ, but he needs to show it, and he hasn't as much as I'd like. Have you been watching him play?
Great video
I’m rooting for RJ, he’s a hometown boy. I’m betting he sees himself as a Kobe/Jordan type, so I don’t expect to see much change in him in the tourney.
hows he a hometown? as in duke? he's from Canada
T0XICHUNTER9 they’re also more than likely from Canada, & Duke is not a “home town”
@@t0xichunter919 He a hometown because they both from Canada
wea kio that’s why I’m saying his comment doesn’t make sense to me
T0XICHUNTER9 we are both from Mississauga. So, he’s a hometown player for me.
Cam hit a big 3 from the nba line kinda against UCF‼️
Rj gets to the free throw line a lot the problem is he gotta knock them down
rui hachimura is ranked 4th on the mock draft tho
Pj Washington from Kentucky, if he can play at a high level CONSISTENTLY, he could move higher up in the draft board if he decides to go. Would personally like to see him go back to college, and get more consistent with his 3pt shot. Scoring can be streaky, but if he’s locked in no one in the country is stopping him. He will find a way to score.
Only thing is he a SF or PF in the league
U told the future bro
Ayyy go state broooo
Barrett forced it all year to try and outshine (or at least keep up with) the hype of Zion.
Also that could potentially be their undoing in the tourney... if barrett tries to play hero ball and outshine everyone else they arent gonna win it all
Dennis Dunker did you reply to yourself
@@tamir9963 lol yes instead of making a 2nd comment... I was watching the video had to turn it off after I commented restarted it later and put a comment under my comment, again instead of making another comment as to not spam the comment section
Dennis Dunker Oh ok
Mfiounde Kabengele - Seminoles #25 ...... will be a sleeper in 2019 years draft
Dude I don’t see the problems with rj’s game that people talk about. I have no clue why they call him selfish because he’s actually a very good and underrated passer
Ja went off in his first two games
I don't seem to understand why people keep saying that this is a week draft class, why? Is it because the past few draft classes have been so full of talent that we look at a decent draft like it's bad?
Don't know about ch'all but I'm pretty sure Zion geekin over the busty reporter @0:44....like me.
Wheres the next pod bro?!
Right after he posts this Ja Morant drops a triple double
i feel like rj is a big part of why cam is playing so bad, rj is a ball stopper and doesnt pass much
Not true cam had open shots all year and bricked most them stop hating on rj bitch
Coby White is going to get drowned out by the 3 Duke players. 😎😎😎
Probably a #12 Draft Lottery Pick.
I disagree with the assessment of RJ as a facilitator. Averaging 4.1 assists from his position is quite good. I mean, honestly, stack that up against any one at the 2-3 position in the country. He's had 10 games with at least six assists.
Duke is also never a high assist offense. They haven't had a guard average over six assists since 2004. And that's counting PGs, which RJ is not.
rome8180 it’s the turnovers that’s hes factoring in. Yes he CAN pass. And he’s decent at it. But there’s a lot of moments in games where he turns the call over trying to create something when he could’ve easily passed it to an open man
But I feel like it shouldn’t be that big of a knock on his game because he already has 2 good playmakers in Zion and Jones that can handle facilitating
Rui is in reality a Small Forward but he plays PF bcuz kid pert is a shooter
Kobe White is literally the White Mamba
*Coby
If an NBA owner had the first pick and didn’t pick Zion they probably would be fired.
No PJ Washington, Keldon Johnson or Tyler Herro?
Isaac Gartlan
All to the Lakers.
@@AuburnFanSince2010 really
Tell me if I’m wrong Zion has the best odds of being number 1 pick but ja mourant could be the 1st pick
Depends if they need a point guard
Try getting rid of the Instagram and Twitter and Twitch adds in the top left
And how bad did Murray beat Marquette
What happened to the podcast
Noti Gang
Saying Ja Morant doesnt play against good competition is a stupid debate. I mean, Lebron James jumped from playing against High school kids to dunking on NBA all-stars a year later. Im not comparing Morant to Lebron, just in regards of competition.
Ja Morant played defense like James Harden the last NCAA game :(
Feels like he believes his own hype a little too much.
Nothing you cant fix but alarming that he just didnt care about stopping his man.
OnceYouPop YouCantStop he also got it done on the offensive side and I also follow him on insta and on his insta lives he seems very humble about his hype
Luke Maye is a sleeper
Agreed
Aye put some respect on Eastern Michigan smh
Who
Terrence Davis from Ole miss. He right now is a late 2nd prospect who with his athleticism and defense if he shows out against Oklahoma and Virginia i think he'll move up to early 2nd maybe even late 1st if he drops around 30
I got unc winning it all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If the Hawks get the first pick they should take RJ they need a shooting guard
Okunola Oladipupo they have Kevin Huerter who could become Klay Thompson 2.0
Huh, your room is so empty, how about put some blow up dolls with NBA jerseys in the background? That'll be funny
He's in the process of moving
Rj to Cleveland watch
Not really fair for ja he scored 28 but his teamed couldn’t get it done🤦🏾♂️
In my opinion this is a dumb vid cause every person has a chance to prove them self to nba teams in March madness, not just those 5 guys
Are you stupid he's just naming five.
Dumbass
And JA has
Ja will go #1 if the suns or bulls get the first pick guaranteed.
They would probably just trade down
Yeah why pick someone other than Zion with the first pick when you can just swap with someone for an extra asset or 2 and still get whoever you wanted
Oblivious 404 yea good point. But it all depends. Let’s say bulls are 1 suns are 2. I doubt bulls trade down
@@YodaSmokes Yeah depends on who ever has the next pick, but if they do trade down with for ex the Knicks, who probably want Zion, they'd get assets and a cheaper contract for Ja Morant
Lakers' Lebron James and Klutch Sports Management team are watching. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lakers need an ELITE SHOOTER = poor man's Ray Allen.
So Zion doesn’t need to improve on anything?😂
He needs to become a better shooter so he doesn't have to rely on athleticism
NC State scored 24 points... Smh
Ahron Someone watched SB Nation today
Ethan happ, he is seen as a guy who will go undrafted but if he leads the badgers to a final 4 I think he will be a second round pick
Bill Nye he needs to learn to shoot free throws efficiently. Every time he goes to the line in a close game I get nervous.
RJ and Cam will sorely disappoint in the pros
Wrong.
Zion will.
@@UndefeatedZoe Also Wrong
This is the stupidest thing that anyone has said in the comments, but is the NCAA Tournament the same as March Madness?
Uhhhmmm RJ Barrett almost losing to UCF That’s something to prove
He made clutch basketball and they won so stfu
RJ Wiggins
ʝα Jaaaaaa
:)
Canadians are really too nice. Barrett has the same issue Wiggins has. He doesn't get to the rim cuz it hurts and could hurt others 😂
Cam payne was a monster playing for them so we'll see...
Gonzaga players SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED IN THE TOP 10 AREA. 🤣🤣🤣
That school produces system players, not ballers.
I want to see Hachimura be good. Lin the only Asian in the league and lets face it he’s ass
i feel bad for reddish he was considered just as good as zion and rj but doesn't get enough credit for his hustle and passing while rj (who is better than him but not by much) is not willing to pass and is allowed to get in his rhythm while cam doesn't get the ball
Rj Barrett never been selfish, you just using his name for views
I want the Cavs to get Ja Morant really bad
We need RJ not Morant
@The Wallstar He's a scorer, and doesn't look to make plays for others, he's not bad but we need playmakers. RJ, Sexton, and Clarkson chucking up shots all game wouldn't get us anywhere
@@kohsmoger1567 we not getting Zion he's a knick
@@bgtheone2903 correct... Go Cavs
I'm saying the same thing him and young Bull would be nice
LSU going all the way
Zion is the next Kwame. Just my opinion. R J is GOAT.
How does that even remotely make sense? They ain't even play the same position!
RJ>ZION
@
You are drunk. It okay though.
If we are talking NBA success, then it’s RJ. For now in college, Zion because he is just bigger than everyone.
99% he’s #1 come on L
Why does this guy look like a bootleg unbox therapy.
Ja hooped against Alabama and Auburn so I don’t doubt he’ll do the same in the tournament
You see last night
