Solomon Hill 14 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

I have learned my lesson. If a scrub gets a career high, but it seems likely that he will score more points than that in the near future, I refrain from putting “career high” in the video title. For example, this is Solomon Hill’s career high. Of course it is, because he never got any…

Courtney Lee 22 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

So, the Grizzlies are 5-0 to start the season. Raise your hand if you accurately predicted that this is how their year would start. I see you behind your monitor with you hand raised. Yes, you! You’d better put that hand back down before I burst out through your monitor to kick your ass. I…

Donald Sloan Career High 31 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

Donald Sloan opened the door furtively, uncertain what lay in wait behind it. He was not sure what this place was, this place that had supplanted reality, but it was unclear whether he wanted to be here or not. As the wooden panel swung forward, the vision of unsurpassed grandeur that met Donald’s eyes was…

Rudy Gobert 7 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

Rudy Gobert, after a rookie year of being relatively unknown, is now getting a little love from the media. Fawning articles usually reserved for Giannis now get written for Rudy. His play in the World Cup opened peoples eyes to how much of a freak this guy is. About time. So far this year the…

Jason Smith 17 Points/1 Block Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

This is what Jason Smith does. He makes midrange jumpers. Probably not the best skill to be elite at, but it’s better than my elite skill (heating Hot Pockets). His unexciting skill set combined with what has to be a top-10 most common name means that these highlights will go unwatched by everyone but this…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 20 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a really good game to end the season last year, something like 30 points. That was not a good time to have his best game of the season; Pistons fans had the whole offseason to think about how good he was and his current woes can be chalked up to a slump….

Kelly Olynyk 18 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

Kelly Olynyk knocked on the door of his parent’s house. It looked much the same as it did when he left, five years ago. The paint was a little chippier perhaps, the trees in the front yard a little less vibrant. The welcome mat, in all its threadbare glory, had, as ever, the opposite of…

Andrew Wiggins 17 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)

Now this is what I’m talking about! I’m tired of all these rookies taking balls and enveloping their lips around them, I want 15-point performances and reasonable shooting percentages. I want aging veterans shaking their heads in disbelief as a new generation of superstars romp through the league! I want them to take the “neo”…

Austin Rivers 12 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)

Austin Rivers is probably the best current NBA player named after a fluvial landform. DownToBuck looks back on some of the other greats who shared this characteristic: Larry Lagoon: Playing for the Rochester Royals in the mid-50’s, Lagoon was known as a flashy dribbler, developing a type of proto-crossover known as the “Very Larry” which…

Tobias Harris 21 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This video is 111 seconds long, with 60 frames per second (I swear). That means 6600 pictures are contained in this video, plus 1 for the thumbnail. If this description were to accurately describe the contents of this highlight package, I would have to write roughly…
