With Ty Jerome’s fifteen-point performance which unequivocally deserved a highlight video, I have made some progress in making videos for every player drafted in the back half of the first round of the 2019 draft. However, there’s still a long way to go. Here’s a list of players that remain DownToBuck virgins: 15. Sekou Doumbouya…

Shabazz Napier 18 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I didn’t realize it because he’s been so far under the radar even for an enthusiast of scrubs like myself, but Shabazz Napier is shooting 24% from three this season on four attempts per game. Somewhere, LeBron James is looking at the stat sheet and shaking his head. He’s also laughing because the Heat drafted…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I think I may have been premature in undertaking the ritual that would transfer the “Bazed God” nickname from Kent Bazemore to Darius Bazley. To be fair to me, at the time that the transferral took place, Bazley had just had a good game while Bazemore was not doing much of anything. It seemed clear…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 22 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: In this game, Devonte’ Graham had the same amount of points as he had field goals attempted. He went 7-of-22 from the field to score his 22 points. This official disclaimer is necessary to provide the proper context for the video; if that context were not provided, unwitting YouTube users such as…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 24 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I am currently drafting a proposal to the Suns organization which details a proposed new version of timeout and halftime entertainment: Wave Papi’s Beauty Tips. Basically, the idea behind this new segment is to replace all the tired old activities that teams trot out during breaks in play: kiss cam, dance cam, half-court shots, trivia…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 18 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
The mere act of creating this video has leadened my soul with disappointment. Being forced to write a description for it burdens my psyche with anhedonic gloom. The Richaun Holmes – De’Aaron Fox connection was so hyped in my mind. The entirety of my last video description for Holmes was spent hyping up the possibilities…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 23 Points/7 Threes/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I know what question you are asking to yourself right now, and no, this is not Markieff Morris’ career high in assists. He’s had multiple (is “multiple” too strong a word when the number is actually just two?) eight-assist games. It’s surprising, but a guy who is willing to have the ball as much as…
Read MoreTroy Brown 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
Troy Brown Jr.’s continued development into something approximating a real NBA role-player has gone unnoticed by all but the most ardent NBA fans. No lie, this may be the kind of thing that has escaped even Zach Lowe’s notice. Okay, that’s probably not true, even if his quote “What if Brown is on a path…
Read MoreAnzejs Pasecniks 11 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
Anzejs “The NBA Player Too Obscure for Basketball-reference To Acknowledge” Pasecniks was, up until recently, and as his nickname suggests, too obscure for basketball-reference to acknowledge as having actually played in an NBA game. I don’t know who they were giving his stats to, but they weren’t giving them to him, because he continued being…
Read MoreCoby White 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
For fun and edification, here is a list of players who have a lower True Shooting Percentage than Coby White, in order from best to worst: -RJ Barrett -Tyus Jones -Nickeil Alexander-Walker -Cam Reddish -Treveon Graham -Jarrett Culver -Dwayne Bacon -Jordan Poole For further fun and even greater edification, here is a list of players…
