I’m pretty sure that the only way I could ever get the NBA highlight viewing populace at large to watch Clint Capela highlight videos would be to blatantly lie in the video title. I could either embellish the stats (16 dunks? 42 points? 13 blocks? 5 assists? any of those would be outlandish enough to…

Willie Cauley-Stein 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Do you know what a metamorphosis is? Think back to your elementary school science classes. At some point during that period of your life, during which you spent most of your time picking your nose and eating dirt on the playground, you probably learned about this term. You at least learned about how caterpillars turn…
Read MoreArchie Goodwin 20 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Archie Goodwin’s final averages for his time with the Brooklyn Nets this season: 8/2/2 on 56% shooting in fifteen minutes per game. That’s something to build on, but then again, Archie Goodwin repeatedly has had seasons that are worth building on, and he has yet to do any actual building. Next year with the Nets…
Read MoreNicolas Brussino 15 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Nicolas Brussino probably needs to work on some things in the off-season. His shot is there, the passing is there, but the consistency isn’t. I’ll let Mavs fans and Argentinians worry about those things, though. I’m not a player development coach. I’m just concerned about one major thing: Nico’s ability to grow facial hair. A…
Read MoreAlex Poythress 18 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
One would think that Alex Poythress’ strong finish to the season would guarantee him a spot on the Sixers next year. I mean, he probably will be on the team next year, but whenever I think of promising young Sixers who were dumped to the wayside, I think of one guy: Henry Sims. Also Hollis…
Read MoreKris Dunn 10 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
I don’t have time to write a funny description story for this Kris Dunn video (TOO MANY SCRUBLIGHTS ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON) but here’s a rough outline of what would have happened: Kris Dunn is in bed reading his kindle, and when he decides to go to sleep he is awakened by…
Read MoreJamal Murray 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Just nine more points, and Jamal Murray would have averaged ten points per game on the year. He would have joined elite company in terms of 2016 draftees who did the same: Buddy Hield and Malcolm Brogdon. That’s actually not very elite company but it is when compared to the rest of the scrubbusts (that’s…
Read MorePat Connaughton Career High 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
If you were in possession of a time machine, and used your time machine to go back to the end of last season, a season where Pat Connaughton had scored one point per game on 26% shooting, and told me that that same dude would one day put up a 19/7/7 statline in the NBA,…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 25 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
LeBron must be sitting somewhere in Ohio, smirking at the box-scores on his phone and thinking, “I told everybody this guy can play”. Remember, the sole reason Shabazz Napier was drafted by the Heat in 2014 was because LeBron tweeted about him, and the Heat wanted LeBron to be happy. It was a classic case…
Read MorePaul Zipser Career High 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Paul “The Zipper” Zipser will never live up to his nickname, which could either mean “a guy who’s fast” or “a guy who locks people up with his defense”. Speed can’t be taught and Zipser doesn’t have it; defense CAN be taught, but players with his attributes (okay you made me say it he’s WHITE…
