Ky Bowman 15 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

Ky Bowman started off the season stronger than anybody thought he would, given his apparently dismal performance in Summer League that set expectations for him at a very low level. For the first two months of the season, it really seemed like the Warriors had pulled an extremely productive rookie out of thin air. He…

Damion Lee 22 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

“Dear Glenn and Alec, Hope things are going well in Philadelphia! It’s really different without you guys in the locker room. I don’t know if you heard, but we got Andrew Wiggins, who is super chill and always has a bunch of bags of Doritos with him at all times. Not that I’m accusing you…

Jordan Poole 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

Jordan Poole is now shooting 45% from the field in the month of February. Those of you who had stopped paying attention to him because of his historically bad shooting performance as a rookie should take another look because, for these past eight games, he has looked not only like a real NBA player, but…

Nicolo Melli 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

Nicolo Melli and Zion Williamson are the most dynamic rookie bigman tandem that I can think of in a long time. The realities of the NBA draft are such that it’s hard to get even one young stud big, much less two. You can try and game the system by drafting Euro stashes or maybe…

Juan Toscano-Anderson 16 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

Things move quickly for rookies in the NBA. Just a few days ago, Juan Toscano-Anderson was the “Mexican Steph Curry”. But now, after this performance, he is, according to Warriors commentator Bob Fitzgerald, “Matt Barnes Part Two”. Somehow this doesn’t feel like an improvement. Barnes was a fine player, but he’s more renowned for his…

Zion Williamson 28 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

I am so super-duper tempted to put “1 Three” in the title of this video. It had been a long time since Zion made one, I was definitely thinking that the four long-bombs we saw in his debut were going to be it for his entire career. People have to know about this, although it’s…

Jordan McLaughlin 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

The last time Jordan McLaughlin reached double-digit assists was just a couple weeks ago against the Clippers. Remember, that was the game where McLaughlin scored 24 points and also made KaWhine LeoNerd into his personal bitchslave for life. Now, I admit to thinking after that game, “Double-digit dimes is cool, but when you’re playing with…

Paul Millsap 25 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

My “Paul Millsap is ruining the Nuggets” narrative would be a lot easier to push if I had a chance to espouse it in a place other than underneath highlight videos of Paul Millsap. When Millsap is having a good game scoring the ball, as is usually depicted in highlight videos uploaded to my channel,…

Christian Wood 26 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

I love that the question regarding the future of Christian Wood’s NBA career has gone from “Should the Pistons cut Christian Wood so that they can keep Joe Johnson?” to “How big of a contract is Christan Wood going to get in a free-agent marketplace that is lacking star power?” While Joe Johnson’s old body…

Brandon Knight 15 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2020)

This video might be the most depressing video I’ve made all year. Among the reasons for its brutally depressive nature: -Fifteen points is a season high for Brandon Knight. Fifteen points. It’s also only his fourth double-digit scoring game of the season. God, I want to cry right now. -Knight is back in Detroit where…
