      Some players make it out of that pretty well. Kyle Lowry ended up a multiple time all-star, not to mention champion, same with Rajon Rondo. Hell, even Mike Conley became a late all-star. All those three players have something in common, they had an edge to them. Their skill sets allowed them to do really well in their later years, some even flourishing in their early 30's. I love D'Lo but I don't see as much longevity in him, injury concerns aside. D'Lo isn't the defender those guys are, he isn't as consistent shooting as Lowry or Conley, he can make plays for others but a guy like Rondo can just summon opportunities for his teammates. D'Lo has the potential to shine in his later career, he already has the shiftiness and the confidence needed, he just needs the consistency and honestly need to just find his purpose.

    With everyone talking about so many guards being in the league, it reminds me of players like Mike Conley, and Goran Dragic. They both became all stars because of other players getting injured. I’m not saying they don’t deserve it, but it sucks to see a good/potentially great guard lose or regress because there’s so many PG’s and SG’s out there. D’Angelo is becoming one of them despite him being already an all star

  • @ConcaCon
    @ConcaCon Před 2 lety +1

    I generally think that DLo's game needs to make better use of his size and handle as a combo guard. The occasional post-up, better use of angles and pace changes in the pick and roll game, some off-ball work from beyond the arc. He doesn't need to be super fast or jump out of the building to get it done. He simply has to be enough of a threat to score, so as to distract the defense, and then he either strikes or dishes.

    He's been great since coming back from injury last season for the Wolves. Especially this season. His shooting splits haven't been great but he's impacted the game in several other ways. He gets easy shots for others around him. I don't know where the Wolves would be without him tbh. He's been an above average defender, one of the better off-ball defenders for this team. He's got the highest +/- in the league that just shows you how much he means to this Wolves team. I can see why people might think he should be a 6th man based on his box score stats but from the eye test he's having an all-star impact to this team.

      I mean... it was. Cheating isn't excusable but he told Dlo that in confidence. He betrayed that trust. He sold him. Once that occured it was going to be impossible to have any semblance of chemistry. People didn't know if they could trust him, and no one was going to take the chance to find out. What he did jeopardized the whole team. As bad as Young's cheating was it was an issue that wouldn't effect basketball (if it did the damages would be minimal). Dlo affected basketball so he had to go.

    I disagree with the NFL being more lenient in terms of proving worth. Your argument boils down to numbers but the reality is, most NFL players never see the field. The nature of the sport essentially calls for there to have to be surplus, but surplus is exactly that, surplus. In the NBA, if you're one of the 17 on a squad, you're going to get a least *some* visibility. In the NFL, you could be saddled in the practice squad and never move your way up. The NFL seldom makes substitutions because the manner the sport is played typically allows for ample rest. The reason why the draft is so bloated is because teams need to be able to still function in case of injuries, but technology is getting better, and injuries are becoming less common. Most teams have third and fourth string quarterbacks you've never heard of. How often does a lineman get hurt? There's reserves for those too. The NFL has open tryouts for the very reason of filling the roster just in case whereas the closest thing in the NBA is the G-League. Getting a callup from the G-League guarantees an opportunity; moving from the practice squad to the reserves is just more waiting. If you erased all the players on NFL rosters that either don't see the field or have only seen it a couple times, you're going to get numbers much *much* closer to that of the NBA.
    Still a solid video but I don't know if I'm willing to give you the point about leniency in the NFL over the NBA.
