Daniel Theis 23 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2021)

https://youtu.be/uHyFjhbyqgo 23 points might not seem like enough points for this new-and-improved epoch of DownToBuck highlightage, but once I reveal this interesting statistical tidbit to you, you will feel ashamed that you ever allowed such a blasphemous thought to form inside the withered blob of dying synapses that you charitably call your “brain”: Daniel Theis’…

Wayne Ellington 24 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2021)

https://youtu.be/wkB5mqUmRSU OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Wayne “Beef W” Ellington holds the record for most three-pointers in a season off the bench, having made 227 such shots for the Miami Heat in the 2017-18 season. And he’s been riding that accomplishment to contracts ever since. Knicks fans thought they were getting that version of Ellington when he…

Doug McDermott 23 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2021)

https://youtu.be/u_-o_lS7haI In the first clip of this vid, the Clippers announer (can’t be bothered to learn his name, sorry, if it’s not Ralph Lawler IDGAF a frick) teasingly says “We’ll have an interesting stat on Doug McDermott a little bit later”. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to go through the rest of the game to…

Marvin Bagley 26 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2021)

https://youtu.be/roiu-DwjS_w I’m looking at Marvin Bagley’s statisticals right now, and you know what I’m seeing? The same thing that everyone should be seeing: a 20 and 10 guy. The “20 and 10 guy” archetype is one of the most sought-after in the league, right behind “3 and D guy” but ahead of “ridiculous wingspan and…

Mason Jones 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/16/2021)

https://youtu.be/YPrwJlGedRY With his recently-completed tradement, the James Harden era of Houston Rockets basketball is over. I’m not about to write out a whole long eulogy for it (or did you think I’d be too stupid to know what a eugoogly was?*), I’ll leave that to someone who consumed Rockets games on a more regular basis…

Cedi Osman 25 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2021)

https://youtu.be/ltpQs8oYOlI There are things going on in Cleveland. Not as many things as were happening while LeBron James was around, but still: things. If the season ended right now (which is not as ridiculously unlikely during the COVID era as it would be during a “normal” season), the Cavaliers would be in their playoffs with…

Immanuel Quickley 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2021)

https://youtu.be/r8HclJqMVA4 Do you think that NBA players feel the same sort of overwhelming guilt and shame that us regular people do when they order something at a restaurant intended to be eaten by two (or more) people and then eat it all themselves? Like, when Immanuel Quickley is browsing Uber Eats or whatever, and he’s…

Shake Milton 31 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/MNMlz2JEYig The 76ers are quickly becoming the team that holds the coveted status of “team who ruins DownToBuck’s life the most”. Even though I’m mostly retired and don’t do a ton of videos, I still get upset when one team starts to demand more of my time than they should. A lot of different Sixers…

Keldon Johnson 29 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/hTgozYWs35k Keldon Johnson: small forward of the future for the Spurs? The eye test says yes. The stats test says yes. The emotions test says yes. The taste test says yes. The test test says yes. The “ask Spurs fans” test? A resounding yes shouted from the highest mountaintop. There’s so many yeses here, it’s…

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2021)

https://youtu.be/2bXqwc5WcU0 Nickeil Alexander-Walker rolled over uncomfortably. Annoyingly, his bed seemed a lot more firm than he preferred. When multiple contortions of his body failed to result in any sort of comfort, he opened his eyes, and that was when he realized that he was no longer near his bed, his home, or even his planet….
