Daniel Theis 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/26/2021)

https://youtu.be/5e3Z3vgpL6A Daniel Theis just had a better game than Lauri Markkanen has had in the entire month of April. His 23 points and 5 assists is clearly better than Markkanen’s, uh, 18 points in 18 minutes back on April 8. Does that seem really wrong to anybody else? It’s like we’re living in some bizarro…

Tyrese Haliburton 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/25/2021)

https://youtu.be/Td8CdXM85kg As of this writing, Tyrese Haliburton is third among all rookies in raw win shares, at 3.1. That means that his actions on the basketball court have directly led to three wins for the Kings that they otherwise wouldn’t have. At least, that’s what I think it means. The concept of a “Win Share”…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 32 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2021)

https://youtu.be/eYZnpoGCeG8 My efforts to get Serbs to donate to my Patreon by incessantly pandering to them have not been met with much success. I do not doubt that Serbs support me in all my endeavors, but, for some reason, that emotional support has not translated into monetary support. Of course, I will gladly continue to…

Torrey Craig 20 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2021)

https://youtu.be/AiVe8WuPsXI The Torrey Craig signing ended up not really working out for the Bucks. The most he scored for them was nine points. It’s all water under the bridge at this point, and I don’t want to get too hung up on bygones, but I just want to say, if Craig wanted to score more…

Jarrett Allen Career High 27 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/25/2021)

https://youtu.be/N3lyHkuSdS8 It’s well known that Jarrett Allen is a big computer nerd who likes to build his own computers. This instantly makes him the most relatable NBA player to me, even more relatable than players who are a closer fit to my physical attributes and my skillset, like Matt Thomas or Luke Babbitt (RIP in…

Edmond Sumner Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (4/24/2021)

https://youtu.be/QdXDsxyP7HU Sometimes I have dreams about making highlight videos. I also have dreams about looking at box-scores. This is a sure sign of some deeper psychological issues that I refuse to address. At the very least, my brain has been fundamentally rewired by my operation of this channel for nearly a decade. I probably dream…

P.J. Dozier Career High 23 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (4/24/2021)

https://youtu.be/4c_vZ97pDvQ P.J. Dozier played two games in his rookie season with the Thunder, and then six games in his second season with the Celtics. Not a lot of players start off their career playing an extremely minimal, bordering on nonexistent, role for two separate teams and then manage to stick around for very long past…

Dwight Powell 25 Points Full Highlights (4/24/2021)

https://youtu.be/4T7ymSI6DS4 Dwight Powell hasn’t been as good this season as he has been in the past. It would be extremely easy to blame his regression on the Achilles injury he suffered last season. I can easily imagine the so-called “experts” at ESPN claiming such a thing. But DownToBuck is not content with superficial explanations like…

Anthony Lamb Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/24/2021)

https://youtu.be/s1N1LeKOxg4 Sometimes you look at a guy’s college stats and think “how did this dude ever make it to the NBA”. With one-and-dones, the college stats aren’t as important, likely everyone knew they were an NBA-caliber talent anyway. But these four-year players, that’s a long time to get an accurate read on them. Greg Stiemsma…

D.J. Wilson Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (4/24/2021)

https://youtu.be/PsbwChdH6vs I waited three whole seasons (and part of a fourth) for D.J. Wilson to do something like this, and I never got it. “This” and “It” being the fabled “Actually Good Game” (AGG), a title assigned to a performance where the player in question actually had a good game. Not just an “okay game”…
