Let’s just get the truth out there for everybody to see: this video depicts the best game that DeAndre’ “Extraneous Apostrophe” Bembry has had in his professional career. Sixteen points, a career high, on efficiency that is relatively unheard of for Bembry (seven of ten from the floor). Not only did Bembry have his best scoring games, but he had one of his best passing games as well, being one off of his career high of seven assists and certainly setting a new career high in “legitimately good assists” with five.
I don’t want to make any unnecessary comparisons to certain players whose names rhyme with DeCron Thames, but Bembry was totally LeBron 0.2 for this game.
Even though this video is the finest portrayal of Bembry as a basketball player up to this point in his NBA journey, it is cursed to receive only a few hundred views, because nobody outside of Atlanta really gives a hoot about The Apostrophed One. He’s still not good enough where any team would target him in a trade or make him a priority to acquire in free agency. However, given his seeming rate of improvement, he could eventually, far in the future, have a Kent Bazemore-esque breakout season where he displays his utility as a scorer, facilitator, and defender, and then get paid a bunch of money to do those things for a tanking team. He’s already doing that minus the “bunch of money” part.
