The 2020 NBA Draft Class Makes NO Sense... featuring LaMelo Ball, Tyrese Haliburton, Tyrese Maxey, Anthony Edwards, and more! #nba #nbadraft #2020nbadraft
Bane at 30 is one of the biggest steals in this draft Grizzlies got an All-Star caliber player who has developed into a 3 level scorer for 2 second round picks
It's like drafting in the 80s or earlier. -Not a lot of info that year. -you've got to go off old info, maybe high school footage for freshmen. -no workouts -no ncaa tournament -prospects didn't have the summer to prepare for their new team, because the draft was so late, and a month before the season started. Maybe that's why 2024 draft is considered "weak" because 2020 is a huge missed development step for them. being in that 14-17 range.
“As long as Josh green can figure out how to shoot he’s going to be a nice player”………huh???? He’s been over 40% from 3’s FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS!!!!!! He’s a career 51% from the field with over 1,000 shots!!! Why do you say especially stupid stuff about the Mavs. They are your blind spot I fear.
He has, but the volume is still to low to be called a true 3&D wing. Same as Green on the Mavs, who shoots 40% from 3 over the last 2 years. But the volume (around 4 3PA per 36 for both) is still too low. But its nice to see Okoro still starting on a regular basis, even with Struss on the team. Maybe he can increase his output to 6 or 7 3PA per 36, then he is a really good pick.
@@Smido83post ASG he’s ahooting 38% on 4 per game. At one point he had a stretch where it was 6-7 per game on 40%+ for like a 5 game stretch. Hes massively improving
Deni shooting 40% from 3 bro.... Hes a great defender too on a shitty defensive team (which is really tough) guards 1-5, can playmake and rebound incredibly well for his position. Amongst the most double doubles for forwards in the nba too. Dudes a stud. Very efficient and very influential.
@@rudyardganuelas6254 no he plays very differently from Dario. Deni is much faster and more powerful than Dario, and deni is a much better defender. Can play more on ball too
@@rudyardganuelas6254 saric is not a good defender. Can't move his feet, slow on help and on the drop, and isn't that strong. Gets bullied around by bigs like embiid or even someone like looney who just body him
@@genesisosunaI feel like a lot of that has to do with that ACL tear 3 years ago. Saric can’t really hold us own defensively anymore but his shooting is very good along with his playmaking a okay rebounding
Nesmith was picked by the Celtics then traded to Indiana a couple of years later for Brogdon. I know you know this, it just sounded like you were saying the Pacers drafted him
Yea, this is absolutely a weird draft with a weird draft situation, but we also need to recognize that most of the hidden gems are guards, which matters. When it comes to guards, aside from those with outlier attributes, it's just not that unusual to see truly great or even all-time guards go later in the draft like it is for big men.
I wasn’t against Ant going #1, but I did gravitate to Wiseman in this draft just because I thought with the size and athleticism, there was no way he wouldn’t end up as at least a starting caliber center who could run the floor, set screens, and roll to the basket while providing decent-to-good rim protection on the other end. And yet here we are at his first free agency and Ant’s a super-duper star and are we even sure Wiseman’s gonna get a 2nd contract?
I’ve honestly not loved him as much as it seems everyone else. He’s been obviously a good facilitator but he lacks scoring to the level that I think is necessary to be great in this league. At the beginning of the season I thought he had it but it fell off quickly
@@Pegasus_p12Pacers are about to knock out the bucks and he’s had triple doubles and some incredibly nice plays even as a scorer. Always loved Hali since just before he got drafted to Sacramento
@@grandpaneg6959 first of all he has been really bad this series 15 10 6 on 43 fg % and 29 % from 3. The reason for the pacers success hasn’t been because of him not to mention this bucks time is far from healthy. Whoever the pacers face next series Halliburton has to play better who they are going him in 4/5 games
People always forget that Haliburton intentionally tanked his own stock. He said no to team invites from multiple teams drafting in the top ten. He wouldn’t even workout for Washington. His drop to 12 was by design.
Let's be real. 12 & 21 are absolute steals for any team regardless of positional need. The first 2 years of both of their careers was so frustrating because of a lack of opportunities.
Payton Pritchard at 26 was a low-key great pick for Boston. Energy, shooting, hustle. Now he’s their backup point guard playing for a championship caliber team!
They said it didn’t, but I wonder if Klay tearing his Achilles hours before the draft changed the front office’s mindset. There had been talks/rumors about them trading down and possibly trying to get Haliburton or Toppin. Both of which were viewed to be ready to go players (if I recall) and would make sense for a team thinking they’re about to start contending again. But once your star SG gets what everyone used to think was a career ending injury right after an ACL recovery, shooting for the (perceived) high upside project makes more sense
I honestly thought Avdija was gonna go 4th overall, he had all the tools to become an all-star imo. Nowadays he's that kind of player that gives you everything except for elite scoring. Put him in a top seed and I can imagine him playing a key role in a Championship run, kinda like a modern day Iguodala.
The Bulls not taking Deni Avdija still baffles me. They needed a defensive wing who could pass and he was standing right there while being highly touted the entire year. PWill was a good high-upside pick, and as an FSU fan, I liked it, but was shocked he went higher than Vassell. He can still be really good, but they did him no favors by immediately trading for Vucevic, signing DeRozan, Caruso, playing Javonte Green at PF, and then playing him out of position when he’s a natural SF.
Deni is great, Okoro been shooting 40%, Josh green been shooting 40% and Haliburton is for sure the 2nd pick in a redraft. A lot of weird takes in the vid maybe a lack of care or something but i used to love this channel
I seriously don’t know if Tucker watches the NBA anymore. Most of these guys he had takes about them that are completely outdated. Like with Josh green and deni saying “if they can figure out to shoot” like bro they shoot either at or close to 40% of decent volume. Most of these takes are like 2 years old at this point
Devin vessel gets 30 million a year and he says he’s just a complimentary piece lol biggest contract in spurs history P.S.? I think your nature for your age ;) young boy
I think it's funny when channels feel the need to explain what it was like during 2019-20. We all experienced it and it was 4 years ago. Like who needs that explanation?
People are kind of shitting on Haliburton, I expect he’s gonna make a big comeback next year. He got hurt and let some of the noise get to him, I think he will mature some and really get back to that 25ppg, 12 assists/2 TO stat line on the 50/40/90 splits.
That hawks was terrible! The spent a top five pick for a 6’8 center that has zero offensive skills… those guys are worth 5 mill in the NBA not top five picks
Nah pretty sure most thought he would be a Gordon Hayward at his max with his likely outcome would be a role player version of Luka. Decent shooter, good playmaker, solid defense to round out his game. Honestly he has surpassed what was expected of him.
It was always a stupid statement but also I think being drafted in Washington really hurt him in his 3 first years.Now he has a coach that believes in him and we see what we missed with him.I see Deni give a Lauri markkanen jump next year
People overrate Antony Edwards way too much. Dont missunderstand me, the guy is undoubtedly a guy with a extremely promising future who can be great but he is not on the same tier as Luka or SGA
@@Yungbasedonion That is exactly my point. People put Ant as the next face of the NBA while he is not as good as Luka or as the guy directly bellow him (SGA) I think that he is on the same tier as Haliburton
God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 - "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." ✝🤍💪 Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."✝🤍💪
Cole at 15, Maxey at 21, McDaniels at 28, and Bane at 30 were some nice steals.
DONT FORGET IQ AT 25
I know!! This was actually a really deep draft but was just ass backwards
Desmond Bane is in this draft Tuck 🤦🏿♂️
Another great pick by the Celts☘️
Could have had him and SGA, would have fucked the cap space tho
@@sconartistyea n traded him to Memphis on draft night like hope you mean another great pick my memphis. They find gems late.
His videos have been pretty rough lately
@@JJGray21 i just watch em while i eat lol
Bane at 30 is one of the biggest steals in this draft
Grizzlies got an All-Star caliber player who has developed into a 3 level scorer for 2 second round picks
It's like drafting in the 80s or earlier.
-Not a lot of info that year.
-you've got to go off old info, maybe high school footage for freshmen.
-no workouts
-no ncaa tournament
-prospects didn't have the summer to prepare for their new team, because the draft was so late, and a month before the season started.
Maybe that's why 2024 draft is considered "weak" because 2020 is a huge missed development step for them. being in that 14-17 range.
And Naz Reid went undrafted lol
Naz Reid.
That was the 2019 draft.
Naz Reid went undrafted?! From undrafted to 6th man of the year
No bro he was 2019 . He was with iowa wolves then.
“As long as Josh green can figure out how to shoot he’s going to be a nice player”………huh???? He’s been over 40% from 3’s FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS!!!!!! He’s a career 51% from the field with over 1,000 shots!!! Why do you say especially stupid stuff about the Mavs. They are your blind spot I fear.
Fr tho he literally plays as a shooter
I was waiting for Desmond Bane also
james wiseman literally got injured the 39th game his rookie season
Issac has improved massively as a shooter
He has, but the volume is still to low to be called a true 3&D wing. Same as Green on the Mavs, who shoots 40% from 3 over the last 2 years. But the volume (around 4 3PA per 36 for both) is still too low. But its nice to see Okoro still starting on a regular basis, even with Struss on the team.

Magic are trash

@@ArielBojorquez96he’s talking about Isaac Okoro, what does this have to do with the Magic 😂
@@icychris__ thought he meant johnathan Isaac lol
Y no Bane!?
I was wondering the same thing. This video makes no sense.
Bane of his existence?
This dude makes no sense at all lot of times tbh
"He's been cut by Detroit." When a simple statement of fact is also a vicious burn.
Josh green has been able to shoot for 2 years now. His problem is screen navigation and overall impact on the defensive end on the floor.
Deni shooting 40% from 3 bro....
Hes a great defender too on a shitty defensive team (which is really tough) guards 1-5, can playmake and rebound incredibly well for his position. Amongst the most double doubles for forwards in the nba too. Dudes a stud. Very efficient and very influential.
I keep seeing him as a saric clone.
@@rudyardganuelas6254 no he plays very differently from Dario. Deni is much faster and more powerful than Dario, and deni is a much better defender. Can play more on ball too
@@rudyardganuelas6254 saric is not a good defender. Can't move his feet, slow on help and on the drop, and isn't that strong. Gets bullied around by bigs like embiid or even someone like looney who just body him
Deni's gotta get moved to be appreciated ngl

Nesmith was picked by the Celtics then traded to Indiana a couple of years later for Brogdon. I know you know this, it just sounded like you were saying the Pacers drafted him
The Pacers had no first round picks and yet now have 4 from this draft class.
I thought you were going to comeback, right the end and say..."oh, and the Celtics took Desmond Bane at 30"
As a hornets fan, the past 2 seasons have been pretty rough but at least the offense still looks flashy this season
Ah yes the Pacers draft that the Pacers didn’t have a pick in
You didn't mention Poku?? Unforgivable snub 😢😢😢
He’s trash
Avdija spells like AVDIA
Okoro is shooting nearly 40% this year….
Desmond Bane ?

Halliburton would go number 2 in a redraft, convince me otherwise
Well, I believe that 95% of the fans will agree with you.
He is defently not 3rd or worse. And probably just not good enoguh to be number 1.
I’ve honestly not loved him as much as it seems everyone else. He’s been obviously a good facilitator but he lacks scoring to the level that I think is necessary to be great in this league. At the beginning of the season I thought he had it but it fell off quickly

@sportsportsman I’ll take maxey 2nd
MAXEY!!
I love Anthony Edward's, I can't wait to watch him in the finals someday.
You might get your wish sooner than expected

Good point
I mean 2020 was such a crazy and weird year, i expected scouting and the draft to be a mess.
Patrick williams is fine. People are calling him bust, but i think that he is good and can shoot the three
Wheres the apolgy man
There were people who were calling Edwards the next Wiggins 😂
Saying he had no drive and coasted on his athleticism
This draft has 4 max players, including Maxey, as the 5th this summer
I’m surprised this isn’t a Donovan mitchell to the Knicks video from you
Payton Pritchard at 26 was a low-key great pick for Boston. Energy, shooting, hustle. Now he’s their backup point guard playing for a championship caliber team!
People buying into the LaVar Ball's projects are literally NFT of NBA.
Warriors dynasty could’ve extended many more years if they nailed that 2nd overall pick
They said it didn’t, but I wonder if Klay tearing his Achilles hours before the draft changed the front office’s mindset. There had been talks/rumors about them trading down and possibly trying to get Haliburton or Toppin. Both of which were viewed to be ready to go players (if I recall) and would make sense for a team thinking they’re about to start contending again. But once your star SG gets what everyone used to think was a career ending injury right after an ACL recovery, shooting for the (perceived) high upside project makes more sense
Saddiq bey you miss also next to desmond bane

Ant "I do anything you want" Edwards.
Deni is great, Okoro been shooting 40%, Josh green been shooting 40% and Haliburton is for sure the 2nd pick in a redraft. A lot of weird takes in the vid maybe a lack of care or something but i used to love this channel
There should be an F on Adam Silver’s head in the thumbnail too 😂
I thought this was a great class fr loved the top 3 and haliburton and more guys I thought had star potential coming out
Man, how I wish Minnesota dropped the ball and picked Melo #1, cause Ant on the Warriors would of been absolutely insane 🤯
bro become lazy😢
Damn those passes from LaMelo are SMOOTH.
have a feeling Maxey & Edwards will be teammates in the future.
I seriously don’t know if Tucker watches the NBA anymore. Most of these guys he had takes about them that are completely outdated. Like with Josh green and deni saying “if they can figure out to shoot” like bro they shoot either at or close to 40% of decent volume. Most of these takes are like 2 years old at this point
No Saadiq Bey?
Devin vessel gets 30 million a year and he says he’s just a complimentary piece lol biggest contract in spurs history
P.S.? I think your nature for your age ;) young boy
Damn the pacers didn’t have a lottery pick but somehow ended up with 4 top 14 guys in this class
leaving my guy Pritchard off this is borderline offensive
Pat Williams was youngest player on 2020 draft. It is too early to say he didn't develop offensive skills!
Ayyy big up the Deni love he legit can be a second/third option on a winning team in the future
i thought edwards would be like a dion waiters..
get buckets for a few years but work ethic would limit the ceiling
lol looking wrong so far
Put Deni on OKC PLEASE
Yesssssss
This is way you should listen when people say a draft class is weak. Every draft has talent
I think it's funny when channels feel the need to explain what it was like during 2019-20. We all experienced it and it was 4 years ago. Like who needs that explanation?
Jury is still out on Lamelo Ball. Dude is beyond injury prone.
It will forever be known as the pandemic draft
People are kind of shitting on Haliburton, I expect he’s gonna make a big comeback next year. He got hurt and let some of the noise get to him, I think he will mature some and really get back to that 25ppg, 12 assists/2 TO stat line on the 50/40/90 splits.
Imagine being Minnesota and picking Ant over Melo... Worth it!!!!!!!!
if u put ANT at A+ then Haliburton should be between A- and A
I mean they traded jalen smith to get torey craig back dam near 🤣
No bane and Naz Reid is criminal.
Suns taking Jalen smith single worst move of the draft
They have KD we have Jaden McDaniels
Saddiq Bey ?
Wiseman made sense just didn’t work out. Warriors still need a big ….
nah devin vassell underated, he good
Golden State not trading that pick was confusing
Lamelo is more evidence that physical training for the pros shouldn't start at 4 years old
I remember calling every team that passed on Maxey stupid
And the media voted for Melo as rookie of the year despite missing a lot of games. They also glorified Melo as better than Ant. What a disgrace.
Warriors should have drafted Edwards
Brother nothing about 2020 makes sense
That hawks was terrible! The spent a top five pick for a 6’8 center that has zero offensive skills… those guys are worth 5 mill in the NBA not top five picks
Wearing wool socks to bed will improve energy and mood the next day,,
Socks while sleeping is insane

I've never slept a day In my life
People thought Deni was the next Luka. That’s going to be the narrative every time an elite Euro gets drafted.
no one said that for wemby tho bud
Nah pretty sure most thought he would be a Gordon Hayward at his max with his likely outcome would be a role player version of Luka. Decent shooter, good playmaker, solid defense to round out his game. Honestly he has surpassed what was expected of him.
@EthanIzeta yeah because people projected Wemby to be the GOAT
It was always a stupid statement but also I think being drafted in Washington really hurt him in his 3 first years.Now he has a coach that believes in him and we see what we missed with him.I see Deni give a Lauri markkanen jump next year
@@EthanIzeta Wemby is Wemby already…bud bud.
Bane at 30
Melo can’t be higher than a D-
People overrate Antony Edwards way too much. Dont missunderstand me, the guy is undoubtedly a guy with a extremely promising future who can be great but he is not on the same tier as Luka or SGA
I mean sga is not even on Luka’s level so what’s your point
@@Yungbasedonion That is exactly my point. People put Ant as the next face of the NBA while he is not as good as Luka or as the guy directly bellow him (SGA)
I think that he is on the same tier as Haliburton
@marceloasensiofilho3833 well we are getting Ant vs Luka western conference finals so we will see how they matchup in the playoffs
Edwards was a shot chucker because his team suck
Lemelo ball is an A - A+ on a shit team
God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 - "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.

Honestly the league should have moved that draft a week before 2021 draft.
What?
all the Draft Class make no sense with you...Slow Down all those Bs vid
