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…
Read MoreRobin 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…
Read MoreCory 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…
Read MoreDonte 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,…
Read MoreTy 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….
Read MoreChris 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…
Read MoreTheo Maledon 25 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2021)
https://youtu.be/ttfMvz3XRrE When you sit down and think about it, I mean really think about it, not just moderately ponder, but really use all of your brainpower to analyze the whole situation, it’s kinda wild how the Thunder went from having a whole bunch of surefire HOF studs to having nothing but random raw players and…
Read MoreJalen McDaniels Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2021)
https://youtu.be/1gbZy_zJW7U This is not only Jalen McDaniel’s career high in the NBA (and probably college, as well as high school, I’m too lazy to check, but you might have to go back to him dominating 5-foot tall midgets as an unnaturally tall middle-schooler to find a time he scored this many points), this is his…
Read MoreMo Bamba 19 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2021)
https://youtu.be/qQ1JHSIAGt0 Nikola Vucevic is now out of Orlando, and, finally, for the first time ever, Mo Bamba is being properly prioritized in the rotation. With few feasible big men on the roster, there really isn’t any choice for coach Clifford, but, still, it’s nice that Bamba is getting the type of consistent role that he…
