If I really wanted to shame Chandler Hutchison (because that’s what YouTube is for… shaming), I would’ve put “Career High” in this video title so that everyone who stumbled on it would immediately see that his career high is a measly 13 points. Maybe the embarrassment that would cause him would effect a change in his scoring mentality.
I almost didn’t even make this video because of how puny the point total is but then a voice in the back of my mind (not a real voice, I may be off-kilter but I’m not legitimately insane) told me that this might be a career high. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was right. All I could remember was a 12-point game from last year, and nothing higher.
If all this is surprising to you, you’re not alone. Hutchison really, and I said this last year, really really has the appearance of a great basketball player. He looks the part exceptionally well. In a hypothetical game of pickup where I’m the captain and I’m picking players for my team, and he’s in a group with a bunch of current All-Stars but I don’t know the skill levels of any of the players, I pick him first. I want the guy with the perfect smile and the perfect hairline to go with his perfect NBA body. Screw off, LeBron James. I don’t want you. I want Hutchison.
