It’s way too early in the season for a guy like Admiral Schofield to be scoring 15 points in a game. WAY too early. This is a kind of thing I would expect during the last few weeks of the season, not the first few weeks. I wasn’t looking at that boxscore in disbelief while saying “who?”, because I think I remember a bit of him from preseason, but I imagine a lot of you saw the title of this vid and thought it was some sort of prank.
For the record, I would never stoop so low as to prank my viewers with misleading or factually inaccurate video titles. Except for that one time when I claimed that Nick Young’s four assists were a career high.
I didn’t even know what Schofield really looked like until making this video, I assumed he was a little shorter but that’s because of the name association with Dennis Schroder. I knew he was black, basically. But that’s a fair assumption for a dude named “Admiral”. Man, what a badass name. I am rooting for this dude just based on his name. “Admiral Schofield”. It just sounds like a guy I’d have learned about in middle school Social Studies.
Schofield may have statpadded a little bit at the end there (two threes in the last 30 seconds while the Timberwolves plainly want to get the heck out of there????? come on man), but you cannot deny that this is 15 real NBA points scored against real NBA players on a real NBA court. For Admiral Schofield. Hot damn. What a time do be alive.
