Landry Shamet 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

6 assists is the high for Landry Shamet as a Clipper. That may seem like a lot for a player like him, but it’s easy to forget, after the 76ers turned him into a pure shooter, that he did a lot of ball-handling in college. He averaged a bit over 5 assists per game in…

Doug McDermott 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

One of the knocks on Doug McDermott coming out of college were his ludicrously low “stocks” (steals and blocks) numbers. Someone did some analysis and determined that players with so few of those defensive stats basically never turn into good NBA players. I guess the thinking is, if you can’t get your hand on the…

Damyean Dotson 21 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

Damyean Dotson 21 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020) It would have been so sweet for the Knicks to beat the Raptors in this game. They led for good chunks of the game, but couldn’t quite hang on, losing 106-112. Since the Knicks are a bad team and the Raptors are a good team, it would have…

Michael Porter Jr. 15 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Michael Porter Jr. didn’t even have a good game. He needed fifteen shots to get his fifteen points, going 5-of-15 from the field. This highlight video might make it look like he was some kind of shot-making savant who was a walking bucket from the time he checked into the game until…

Dillon Brooks 27 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

Before this game, Dillon Brooks was scoring an even twenty PPG per game in the month of January, and his monthly PPG totals have been on an upward trajectory since the start of the season. For all I know, he’ll average 26 PPG per game for the month of February, and then, what about March…

Dario Saric 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

What kind of situation would Dario Saric have to be in where European fans would stop complaining that he’s being mis- or under-utilized? Note that I’m not saying he isn’t being under-utilized in Phoenix. It seems to me that he’s not being used to his full potential right now. But it seems like that, even…

Eric Gordon 27 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

I guess this is what Eric Gordon is on the Rockets for. If James Harden is playing like a collection of pubes (a bigger collection of pubes than the one attached to his chin), then Eric Gordon can theoretically step in and replace 50% of Harden’s production and 33% of Harden’s playmaking. I say “theoretically”…

Malik Monk Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

When Malik Monk felt the sensation of cool stone against his bare flesh, he knew that he wasn’t where he was supposed to be. The last he remembered, he had been going with his teammates to some French nightclub that Nic swore had “the hottest girls in all of France”. Then somebody had made a…

Cam Reddish 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

With this game, Cam Reddish has officially crawled out from the abyss of shooting below 30% on three-pointers (29.2%) onto the wide and verdant plain of shooting above 30% on three-pointers (30.5%). The abyss was a lonely and terrible place where his only companionship was other bigtime bricklayers like Jae Crowder, Brook Lopez, and Spencer…

Zion Williamson 15 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/24/2020)

Zion Williamson is getting a late start in the ROTY of the Year race, late enough that he’s probably not even going to be in contention for the award. Then again, the voters don’t necessarily have any idea who the best rookie is and why it’s Ja Morant, so I’m never really surprised by the…
