Malachi Flynn 20 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2021)

https://youtu.be/i_iSmP9ZxlY At this point, we can just say that any random point guard can come into the Raptors system and start putting up stats like it’s no big deal. Unless that point guard’s name is Lorenzo Brown. Anyone else, though, just come to the Raptors and enjoy your free 20-10 games. Everyone knows that Fred…

Enes Kanter 24 Points/30 Rebounds Full Highlights (4/10/2021)

https://youtu.be/QmcSIhFCsg4 I’m somewhat surprised that the Trailblazers record (before this) for rebounds was only 27. Yeah, the franchise didn’t have the advantage of being around back when dudes (actually just Wilt and Russell) were just grabbing 40 or 50 rebounds like it was no big deal, but only 27? Rebounds aren’t even that hard to…

Gary Trent Jr. Career High 44 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2021)

https://youtu.be/EEV8vSgN7Ys The sound of a bird loudly chirping woke Gary Trent Jr. from his sleep. He turned himself over in his bed, snuggled into the pillow, and tried to recapture the slumber that had been robbed of him, but it was a futile effort. He found himself annoyed at the raucous avian life fluttering outside…

Miles Bridges 26 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2021)

https://youtu.be/joI15HElfeM Miles Bridges suffered a severe decrease in his dunk rate from his rookie year to his second year. He went from 16% of his attempts being dunks to just 7% of his attempts being dunks. While I am fully in favor of players adding new weapons to their offensive arsenal and generally expanding their…

Jordan Nwora 24 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2021)

https://youtu.be/ik4NCPhHNfA The Bucks were playing without their entire starting lineup in this game, because you can just say that any player has “knee soreness” or a “big toe contusion” and the NBA won’t fine you, so you know that there are only two options for what could transpire: Thing that could transpire #1: One or…

Robin Lopez 20 Points/8 Hook Shots Full Highlights (4/9/2021)

https://youtu.be/lltiq0aMvpE In the interest of full disclosure, just in case you were thinking “yeah, 8 hook shots is cool, I guess, but I’m not going to watch a Robin Lopez highlight vid unless he makes 9”, the one non-hook shot that Lopez made in this video was actually a really slick post move with fancy…

Cory Joseph 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/8/2021)

https://youtu.be/jYkFEhp3Vs0 For the past few weeks, I’ve been really confused about the current point guard situation in Detroit. I started making myself a handy cheat-sheet so I wouldn’t lose track of anybody, but then I thought, why not share my insight with the world so that people other than myself can benefit from it? Without…

Donte DiVincenzo 22 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2021)

https://youtu.be/1mQcMm6OIik After blowing a bunch of mid-first-round picks on busts and disappointments, it’s nice to see that the Bucks have seemingly hit on one of their draft choices in Donte DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo isn’t a star, and doesn’t seem to have star potential residing in his loins (blasphemy, I know), but he is a solid starter,…

Ty Jerome 23 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2021)

https://youtu.be/YCmN0X8G108 This current Thunder squad is one of those rare teams where every single player is DTB-eligible. The only two players who aren’t eligible for highlightage courtesy DownToBuck are Al Horford and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA is injured, and Horford has apparently reached an agreement with the team where he won’t play anymore, Luol Deng style….

Chris Boucher Career High 38 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2021)

https://youtu.be/XE-seQ2vIA8 If you went back in time and told me, the DownToBuck that existed four years go, that the skinny dude who played exactly one minute for the Warriors in the 2017-18 season as a 25-year-old rookie would eventually be scoring 38 points in a sanctioned NBA contest, I would have laughed in your face…
