it’s got to be getting pretty close to the end of the school semester and that means one thing it means report card is always a scary thing and it’s no different here right now we’re going to be taking a look at an NBA report card meaning we’re going to look at all 30 teams in the NBA give them a grade and we’re going to talk about it let’s jump into it and by we I mean Bleacher Report it’s always bleach report at the end of the day I love bleach report articles I think they’re a fun thing to talk about and it it lends a good uh visual to kind of help talk about all this stuff but hey make sure you guys like subscribe and comment I’ve responded to every single comment to my YouTube Channel up to this point and I intend to keep on doing so anyway um I I I never like look these grade things always end up getting more views and everything just because people love seeing where they are and they love to hate them more than anything else so I’m not going to like highly critique anything that Old Dan here says unless it’s something like completely absurd in my opinion but I did already I haven’t gone and looked at anything past this but I want to see like how these grades are actually uh determined and they’re basically being determined by like hey injuries don’t count but remember a c represents an average grade in terms of expectations right we’ve talked about this in other videos where I’ve done I have gr things where I’ve graded People based on expectations meaning going into the season what did we think they were going to be like we thought the Sixers were going to be good this year and they’re really bad they get a low grade the Brooklyn Nets playing a lot better than we thought they were going to they’re going to have a better grade if they if the Nets have an A and the um I don’t know let’s say the Celtics have a beat it doesn’t mean the Nets are better than the Celtics okay Dum Dums we’re all ready to go let’s go jump into the video then hopefully we all um understand this the Atlanta Hawks get a B okay interesting so the Hawks started off this season pretty rough and they’ve been kind of climbing back as of late they’ve discovered that Dyson Daniels is a very very good defensive player can’t shoot the ball but he’s actually pretty good at get going downhill Jaylen Johnson continues to improve Trey young looks different to say the least um he’s passing the ball a lot more he’s shooting pretty inefficiently from the field he’s he’s just lately he’s having some really dumb turnovers I don’t know I I he doesn’t like look hurt but he’s like playing hurt so I I don’t know I don’t know what’s wrong with him he’s like not nearly in his Attack Mode as um years past so little bit confused about that but the Hawks are a scrappy team to say the least Clint capella has been awesome for them by the way so that’s been pretty cool uh one of the things we have to give them credit for is uh uh coach Sneider like figuring them out a bit defensively Atlanta is ninth in points allowed per possession there you go that’s a good statistic for me to pull out in this yeah especially when Trey young and Reay are on the court so much like young player and not very good defensive player Trey Young’s trying really hard defensively he’s just look size is always going to be a liability thing that’s what I tried to tell you guys against this is what I tried to tell you guys with like Reed Shepard like at the end of the day like just physics makes sense right physics just are a thing and Trey young is very small it’s hard for him to stop people it just it just is at the end of the day so giving the Hawks a b yeah they’re above my expectations for sure so I can I can sympathize with that I can agree with that Celtics a yeah I’d say so playing without porzingis pton Pritchards become like a six-man of the Year type candidate uh their players continue to get better they just they just do whatever it takes to win basketball games every single night obviously they’re extremely talented and no they’ve been um they’ve been awesome obviously they’re not at the top of the East but that’s not necessarily their fault either I believe they beat the Cavs when they played them this year did they not I think so but anyway um yeah they kind of talk about the same thing here Payton Pritchard is continuing to send um yeah Arc drop off from Brown and holiday yeah they’re struggling from the field but they’re still winning games porzingis is coming back and he can’t really even move at this point so you know is what it is but Celtics continue to win probably still the favorites to win at all so there you go there’s the Brooklyn Nets B+ I would say that’s fair like they’re currently a playing team they just traded Dennis shuder I’m recording this on Sunday by the way trying to get a little bit ahead I’ve got so many busy work weeks going on right now but um presumably Net’s going to make a lot more trades going forward they’re overperforming right now looks like coach has done a pretty good job of setting a culture here of them playing hard and utilizing the solid talent that they have all around the roster now that the Nets like GM group is going to make it a ton harder for them because they’re going to trade Struder they’re probably going to trade like Dorian finy Smith maybe like Shake Milton or something maybe cam Johnson probably not cam Johnson I would have to assume probably keep Nick Claxton and stuff but this team’s been overperforming they play really hard every single night play good defense they got enough scores so they winning basketball games good for Brooklyn good for Brooklyn the Hornets a c yeah and again we’re not holding injuries against them their whole team feels like it’s injured Mark Williams Nick Richards right um obviously lamelo a ton Brandon Miller’s taking every single shot he can attempt Grant Williams went down not much you can do about that like was this team that great with everyone healthy no they were fighting a lot more though that’s for sure they’ve been struggling a lot more recently and Brandon Miller’s trying to do everything for them like I said offensively so that’s that’s a whole thing but I I wasn’t sure they’d even be a play play in team this year it doesn’t look like they’re going to be most likely but I don’t know uh Plus for all the recent ringing over lamelo balls True Value Charlotte has piec together an above average offense with him on the floor yeah I mean lamelo was having a crazy offensive season and everything like we have to see him play winning basketball at some point but he also has to have a comprehensive team around him at some point that’s the whole thing and oh yeah miles Bridges hasn’t been very good either that’s something that uh they can’t even really seem to tr him at this point so that’s that’s a whole thing resurgences or emergences from Kobe Martin diabate diab I never know how to say it you guys can help me I I always ask for that in the comments and then Trey man win healthy again right yeah Trey man’s another one that was an interesting find for them I’m glad they realize how good he is but yeah Hornets a SE I can get behind that the Bulls a sea oh my Chicago Bulls um let’s see in terms of expectations yeah I’d say they’re right where they are vich and been awesome no complaints about them like whatsoever they’ve been very very good basketball players Lonzo ball back on the basketball court giddy I like Josh giddy like I have um I’ve really enjoyed watching Josh giddy play basketball moves the ball around he’s a super like plus minus rotation Builder like having Josh giddy on the team Kobe white looks just as good as he did last year so that’s cool Jaylen Smith like having him on the team he’s a good floor spacer and everything it’s just like this team together doesn’t win basketball games it’s not going anywhere right long term so you move on from all these pieces and all of a sudden I’ll be a happy Bulls fan again but the Bulls struggling to do that trying to move vich right now trying to move LaVine that’s what they always say then they never end up doing it I know it’s hard but at the end of the day like right in line with expectations and at least they get up and down the court so that’s cool shout out the shout out the Bulls in that case but hey got good players on the team uh Cleveland Cavaliers yeah A+ um we talked about going into the season we have to find a way for Garland Mitchell Moy and Allen to play together they’ve done so Carris vert’s become a nice offensive player for them very very cool right um do they probably need like another Center on the team probably Tai Jerome was an interesting find for them now his minutes are starting to drop a little bit more again uh he was in like six band of the Year our most improved player conversations for a while kind of falling off a bit of that now but they’ve got a hell of a good team like those four have figured out how to play with each other um Kenny has unlocked Evan Mobley awesome right I’m finally starting to see some Evan Moy stuff I think he was hurt the other day though or something but regardless like Donovan Mitchell Darius Garland they’re doing their things they look great Cleveland just continues to win basketball games no idea how far this team can go it’s talented enough to be a championship Contender at the end of the day so I guess we’ll I guess we’ll see they have everything that you would possibly need Dallas Mavericks B+ that’s fair Luca having a great season Kyrie having an all-time efficient season they’ve now thrown Derrik Lively into the starting lineup things are going better Kay putting up respectable numbers at the end of the day looks a little bit lost in their kind of like non-existent offensive system in Dallas but you know still contributing at no level again not a perfect fit Spencer dwy whenever he plays for Mark cubin plays really well good for him Naji Marshall playing well Quinton Grimes show we’re starting to see a little bit of why uh New York Knicks fans were so excited to have him when he was uh like a rookie coming in and everything so that’s really awesome to see obviously Gafford coming off the bench awesome PJ Washington I’d still like to see them develop him in a little bit different way that’s just a little bit of a nitpicky thing I’d like to see him handle the rock a little bit more set up kyri and like Luca and otherwise I think he’s got that skill set and I think that’ll help them playoff time but you know I can’t complain too much a B+ honestly feels Fair like we expected them to be towards the top and they’ve been running that way right now so good for Dallas uh Denver a d is that fair that means they’re below expectations yeah like I I figured it’d be harder for Denver this year like yic is the best player in basketball no question about that Jamal Murr struggling a little bit more this season that’s for sure they haven’t really been able to replace kcp Browns having a solid season like shooting the ball defensively I have more questions like what Michael Porter Jr’s done for them this year Aaron Gordon shooting the ball really well um you go to the bench and they just it’s not there like Westbrook’s cool in certain games I think strawther deserves more minutes uh I I saw some sort of Deep dive like with analytics and everything was saying that like stur is one of the most underutilized players in the NBA and I kind of said it going into the season I’m like out of all their like young dudes on this team I like him the most I feel like we could do something with him so I’d like to see them kind of get him on the court a little bit more pton Watson athletic that’s cool this team needs to make a move somehow this offse or this season I just I don’t know what they’re going to do they’re in a really tough situation but at the end of the day these two guys have won a championship before that’s what you have to remember they’ve done it before they can do it again so that’s that’s something to watch with the um Denver Nuggets the Detroit Pistons a be a be feels appropriate we have unlocked Kade Cunningham right we see how good Kade Cunningham is now right there’s no ifans or buts Kate Cunningham very very good at basketball okay we’ve all caught up Jade iy pretty good at basketballs as well very cool um I’d like to seear assar Thompson get on the court a little bit Ron Holland Jr was a bad draft pick does not help the team whatsoever having him on the court I know he had like a 26-point game recently G to happen right super talented just doesn’t know what he’s doing on the court doesn’t help the team right now durren we like durren durren does pretty solid things I know defensively Pistons fans still want more let him start playing some winning basketball maybe things go a little bit different Tas Harris been kind of BL this year they don’t play Malik Beasley nearly enough but he’s been awesome but at the end of the day you put Shooters on the team JB bicker staff still doesn’t know how to manage rotations for whatever reason but this team is playing better and that’s what matters is this team just needed to be competitive in some capacity so I’ll be curious to see what they do at the deadline um they just cut Paul Reed so it means they’re going to be doing some sort of move because they’re both like at the at the floor of the salary and stuff and they need to just bring another player onto the roster so we’ll see but I like I like B for them they’re overperforming at the end of the day Golden State Warriors B yeah know I had low expectations of them I actually didn’t even have them as like even a playing team I figured that roster was um not going to be good enough but Curry playing well Andrew Wiggins playing better than he did even in his All-Star season Draymond Green hitting thre playing solid defense cool just don’t have a center and they have got no wings Off the Bench they obviously just added Dennis shuder Dennis shuder is going to help them a lot he’s going to come in he’s going to start he’s going to be their new primary ball handle he’s going to take a lot of pressure off of Curry uh especially late in game because you have to guard them both they’re both very lethal in crunch time right danis f is going to help them defensively he’s just a better he’s a good player they only give up two second round picks really to get him awesome right awesome awesome pickup this move this helps pods come off the bench buddy hee’s going to be a nice guy to have Off the Bench like it’s just moving kaminga and Moody and like guys like that maybe a Gary pton or something I I know Gary Payton’s fun but I I don’t think you need him in the in this in the grander scheme of things so I’d like to see you package some of these guys and go get you a center go get you another Wing or something like that maybe both if you can swing it Mike dun leevy Jr make it happen but this team playoff team right now so that’s good there would be and at the end of the day if this team’s in in the playoffs anything can happen anything can happen at any time the Rockets oh yeah no this is an a um I you might you might say B+ or something like that or a B if you want to be a real about it because we have some development questions Jaylen green not actually getting any better Jabari Smith Jr not really actually getting any better I me Thompson looks very good tar een looks very very good I’d like to see them just get the start from now and while Fred Van vit’s having a pretty shitty shooting season still great floor General I like what he does defensively and everything Dylan Brook’s having a very efficient season for them shenon awesome player hasn’t really ascended at the same level but other players on the team have and that’s cool uh Reed Shepard definitely should not have drafted him should have traded it and gotten somebody else that can actually help them right now but nevertheless this team’s over performing they’re playing really really well it’s just can we better utilize the talent that’s on the roster right and can we move on from certain players that are on the team and go get you something that can help you win right now I don’t know what that is is adding Jimmy Butler to this team going to help a ton is it worth trading Dylan Brooks I don’t necessarily know I think it would make the team better but how much better and is it worth it right so I don’t know is is adding Brandon Ingram better I’d have maybe some questions about fit with that as well so I don’t know I don’t know at the end of the day but um they’ve got a good thing going they got some fun young players and I hope um hope it keeps going well for them uh the Pacers yeah D minus I would say that’s fair after going to the Eastern Conference finals last year Halle Burton’s had some ups and downs continues to be a a little more sporadic up and down which I guess is better than just down from where he is um spicy P still doing his thing Miles Turner yeah there’s been some injuries on the team right they lost Isaiah Jackson and James wisman Early Obby toppen hasn’t quite figured it out yet the wings situation like Benedict mathine like puts up points but it’s not really pretty basketball yet n’s young but it’s just not really working uh n Smith I’m not a huge fan of personally so I don’t know I’m kind of curious to see a stand up play from seak surprising contribut is from Quinton Jackson yeah we should probably talk about him even more and a more even keeled mathine spares the Pacers from the Fate yeah barely is right um inconsistency from Halbert and that’s a big one too much Sweat Equity is being devoted for him adjusting to everyone else rather than just playing around him that’s kind of interesting I don’t know if I’ve watched enough to agree or disagree with that but that’s interesting but yeah the Pacers can’t quite figure it out um T.J McConnell every once in a while has a great game and that’s a lot of fun but yeah no not nearly the same team that they were last year just not really playing the same way I will say the play that the play style that they had last year wasn’t complicated ever it was just it fit them really well so I feel like teams are just like not crashing like offensive glass very much now they’re just kind of getting back and sitting in their defense and then the Pacers can’t do anything so yeah know is what it is the Clippers I don’t know if I want to call them an a like I think we all knew that this team would be solid at the end of the day and that’s what they are right now like they started off the season really good and they were up there like they’ve lost like four or five in a row or something like that now at least at the time of recording this so a little bit bit of a fallof there James Harden’s been solid enough Norman Powell’s been awesome right all the role players look good zoo looks really really good they don’t have Qui Leonard so that’s obviously hard I figured this team would be solid though and I feel like this team should still blow things up regardless like you’ve got value in some of these guys right now and the Derrick Jones Jr the Norman Powell the Trey man Batum right all these guys like I try to move them and try to build towards your future I don’t think this team’s contending for a championship even if you had Kawhi Leonard to it I just I don’t I don’t buy it I just don’t buy it but I’m not going to fault the Clippers if they just say no we’re trying to win every game ever because maybe that’s what uh Steve Balmer is just all about at this point right is just winning basketball games and maybe he wants to join that Elite company of teams that are always trying to win cool that’s awesome right I I’m I’m always going to be in support of that but me as the Strategic GM I’m moving on from these guys I’m saying this this group’s not going to do it anyway uh it’s kind of a rag tag group of people and we’re going to go figure it out some other way so that’s what I would say Lakers uh yeah maybe a slight underperformance a slight underperformance yeah just because the defense looks so gross at this point like I know you all have all seen the Clips online and you know we never want to overreact to Clips but just like I’m watching these games and they just yeah they just don’t look like they give a out there and it’s really weird to watch like JJ reick looks like he’s going to blow his like his lid every single second out there and like LeBron’s saying it too like what the are we doing out there right uh D’Angelo Russell can’t even get on the court for whatever reason I’m guessing just internally there’s issues with with him or something like that like ad efficiency’s falling off still putting up great numbers LeBron he’s still LeBron James that’s awesome right but like Reeves maybe not quite as efficient as we want him to be they just benched D connect I don’t know why they did that it’s it’s weird haimura is not really involved at all and I feel like he should be it’s it’s strange like their offense looks a lot better than it did last year there’s actually rhyme and reason and logic to it at all times which is good but they might just not have the roster that can truly compete and that’s that’s unfortunate are we going to see LeBron get um leave this team at some point I don’t know I don’t know I’m very curious at the end of the day Memphis Grizzlies yeah no they’re playing their asses off right now um the Memphis Grizzlies have 13 or 14 like good NBA players on their team it’s just it’s awesome they have so much depth trade some of them go get some some even better starters now just do it you don’t need them all you can’t even try to develop them all you just you keep finding good talent and adding it to your team awesome you guys are really good at that that’s awesome um there who’s ever running the team right now and doing all those final decision making stuff keep it up you’re doing one of the best jobs in the NBA if not the best right now um J better playmaker that’s awesome Desmond Bane continue to be a nice second option jiren Jackson Jr he’s way better when he can just play the power forward right and um space the floor things like that play good defense not foul so much awesome right that’s awesome and they’re actually like healthy this year which has been good um Santi Alama yeah great development story Jake laravia is is solid in spot minutes I’d move him though because you just don’t need to have him uh Scotty pipp has been awesome Jaylen Wells that’s right the second round pick that’s been so good obviously Zack Ed’s hurt right now but they’re getting back the GG Jackson and Vince Williams sooner rather than later and so I’m I’m really excited to see where this team uh this team goes contenders don’t hide in plain sight this one might be yeah they they very what could be man it’s a good team it’s a good team the Miami Heat yeah I’d say they’re right at expectations actually I would probably agree with that uh Jimmy Butler great season might be traded soon it sounds like so be on the lookout for that bam uh playing some questionable like off offensive basketball defensively still looks really good Tyler hero might be an Allstar this year Terry Rosier not as good as we thought um I don’t know defensively the heat don’t look like very bad at points It’s just sometimes the offense doesn’t quite figure itself out they don’t have enough people going and getting like easy buckets for them like even Tyler hero like uh while he’s been so good shooting and everything like I wouldn’t say it’s anything like revolutionary and I’d worry in the playoffs what someone would do to him so I don’t know I don’t know what the heat do uh they’re the fifth seed right now and you’d hate to blow up a five seed and the heat don’t tend to want to do that but it seems like they’re not getting anywhere with Jimmy Butler so like in terms of like contract extension and everything obviously Jimmy Butler has done so much for this organization so I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Bam’s offense all over the place yeah I would agree with that Butler’s on The Chopping Block uh yeah hero looks good that’s awesome so cool fair enough move on Milwaukee Bucks C minus um a little below expectations it’s so hard because I feel like all of us had some skeptic ISM because of Doc Rivers and Chris Middleton being out and I would say like yeah the season started so rough that yeah C minus is probably Fair they’re figuring it out now but like even still they like their offense is so stupid and by that I mean they don’t have an offense they just run up and down the court and nothing really happens like it’s just they have so many good basketball players they make it work and Shout Out AJ Green and torian Prince for hitting every three-pointer that they take like that’s a big part of their success right now but Lillard looks awesome Giannis looks awesome Brook Lopez has been a secret weapon for them this year I feel like that not enough people are giving him credit for um I hope Chris Middleton gets back to where he was if not maybe I could see a Rockets like Buck swap like move Chris Middleton or something like that to the Rockets maybe they send someone else back I don’t know just find some more role player help for the Milwaukee Bucks get some more defense out there and everything should figure itself out Timberwolves D+ yeah that’s probably Fair it’s just so annoying to watch this team play like defensively they’re starting to figure it out right and that’s awesome some like Randall playing a little bit better defensively um goar doesn’t seem to ever come out of the game at this point which is a little bit questionable I don’t think Nas Reed gets used nearly enough but again no offensive game can be found for this team again they didn’t have much of an offensive strategy last year then they moved cat and now we saw just how hard it can be to play with Julius Randle and then you have no floor spacers on top of it that’s complicated I know people are hating on dant chenzo but like you guys have to understand something there’s no place for him to operate in right now and he’s not that that good of a player he is a very good player but he’s not that good of a player to where he’s breaking everybody down and like creating his own shot and everything that’s just not what he is so install an offense like find some players that can actually uh move the basketball take some pressure off him and then you’d probably see it increase but ant doing everything he can out there man he’s doing everything he can um D chenzo is at least being guarded like a five alarm five alarm fire fire a five alarm fire I I don’t know what that means even though he’s not yet yeah so he’s not shooting the ball well but he still has gravity that’s awesome uh I don’t think they play the rookies nearly enough uh Finch has preached patience and process at every turn so fair enough uh he continues to experiment the wolves are un uncertain and flimsy yeah Rob Dillingham like they don’t even use him right now it’s really frustrating Terence Shannon Jr should be on the basketball court it’s doesn’t make any sense to me uh the Pelicans yeah D probably regardless just because it’s so annoying all the players are injured we don’t want to hold against them too much but even so like they can’t figure out anything internally like they can’t pick a direction I know it’s hard but like I don’t know I don’t know what you do with this team it’s really complicated they’re they’re what are they like dead last in the west right now I think so so what do you do do you let them get their high draft pick and then figure it out in the off season like Brandon Ingram might just leave or something like that unless you want to give them a one-year like big contract uh Zion I think he’s trying everything he can to get off this team at this point uh they just brought to jante Muran CJ’s been playing good as of late you still have Trey and Herb like that gives me some confidence to move off of Ingram uh EES Missy yeah he’s been exactly what we thought a solid player they could still use another Center uh I’m not big on Brandon Boston Jr personally that’s just me um but you know they’ve got some interesting players I love javante green I love javante green um yeah they’re just never healed and they’re never not injured so I don’t know what you’d do if you traded Zion you’d probably get a bunch of so I don’t know I don’t know what to do with this team it’s uh it’s weird the Knicks with a B is probably Fair the Knicks have been good but defensively they like can’t seem to figure things out and there’s been some awkward offensive moments is at times um OG and bridges don’t seem to be involved nearly enough like Brunson and Cat awesome they’re having off awesome offensive Seasons but if this team’s not just like torching people it can get a little bit hard to watch the bridges disaster start has progressed to uh progressed closer to a pleasant mean he’s shooting under 25% above the break threes for the season but he’s up to 35% over his past seven games that’s not exactly encouraging so he’s up to League average as of late okay things aren’t Rosy at the other end of the floor the Knicks are bottom five and points allowed per possessions against top 20 offensive struggles that go beyond heavy minutes for Brunson and towns past Bridges own uh demonstrative regression and into uh existential dilemma territory yeah well said I guess like uh players just aren’t playing quite as well as they used to is the short answer they’re still really talented their bench is questionable like they play Campaign a lot they play McBride a lot and they play Sims a lot and not the best bench not the best bench in that sense but um hey Mitch Rob comes back at some point maybe he helps him out maybe he gets hurt again I don’t know Thunder a minus why an A minus and not an A+ um propping up to the League’s best defense remaining on a 60 plus win Pace when Chet holgren and Isaiah hartenstein haven’t been ailable for the same time okay I’m waiting this doesn’t even paint an adequate picture for the front line situation blah blah blah blah blah 66 Jaylen Williams ranked second in percentage of opponent shots at The Rim blah blah blah blah blah to what extent can you even nitpick the thunder it’s debatable its biggest wart remains trending or treading water on offense independent of Shay okay okay so they’re basically saying like if Shay wasn’t on the court would this team just crumble uh probably to some extent he does carry the offensive load to ton but I mean at the end of the day they’re still performing he’s still in the court so i’ probably give it an A+ they’ve been awesome this season but that’s that’s just me I love Jay dub I think he’s progressing towards being an Allstar player I think he can be one hartenstein has been awesome for them when he’s healthy Chet’s been awesome for them when he’s healthy Wiggins nice player I’d like to see Isaiah Joe start more the DOR chamber still looking good you’ve got some tradable pieces maybe you can go get something else Caruso starting to figure things out a little bit good for the Thunder good for the Thunder Orlando Magic yeah um wow what a season Paulo starts out super hot goes down fron is like don’t worry guys I got you puts the team on his back goes down um I don’t know what they do from there like you probably got to keep guys like Cole Anthony on the team now you can’t necessarily trade him because you need some scoring but the team is third in the East and they’re playing well they play super hard they’re a gritty defensive team very very cool right eventually they’re going to need someone to score some points and without Paulo and fron that’s just that’s a difficult task like you hear about the team being like yep we’re holding extra practices and everything just to try to be like hey this is what we need to do to actually like get some success in the court without our two best players because that’s a that’s a reasonable conversation to have right so van Carol’s still a couple weeks from coming back but even then he’s going to have to get himself back into game shape and everything going to take a bit and then frons he’s going to be out for a while and then he’ll have to go through the same things so I don’t know man magic got to hold on they got to hold on I don’t know if it’s worth making a trade right now though and shaking things up too much so magic with an a though for the season very appropriate very appri I’d still like to see them get jet Howard on the floor a little bit more just me how are the Sixers not an F okay it’s cuz we’re not holding injuries against them right it’s tempting to go with incomplete for the Sixers uh yeah Joel embiid he’s hurt again he just had like a facial fracture big three is Harley bit hardly been on the court Jared McCain just went down the team’s unhealthy the players that are playing are not playing well Sixers are bad let’s move on I don’t need to keep beating you guys over the head with it Suns D+ okay now this one I’m curious about actually so why are they a D+ cuz I don’t agree with that go ahead and imagine what this grade might be like if Kevin Durant doesn’t miss any games boy you said at the top that injuries didn’t play a fact in it what the hell Dan or whatever your name is keep it keep it together the suns are 11- two when he plays and one and N without him and that’s the entire point so what you’re you’re grading them because one of their Superstars when they go down they’re not as good that’s every NBA team like come on Dan is that who wrote this article Dan I don’t know like let have a little bit of consistency with it right but yeah big three plays they play well surprise surprise your three best players around the court you play good basketball yeah that happens the suns are good when the big three plays otherwise they’re not tus has been awesome I love nerkish I like Grayson Allen a lot like Ryan Dunn uh EOD daro and um plumbley play well when they need to cool that’s the Phoenix Suns the Portland Trailblazers they piss me off piss me off so much I want to give them a lower grade bright spots aren’t hard to find on the Trail Blazers roster getting tamman Kamara in that uh nerkish trade was awesome yes it was Robert Williams is healthy and uh he’s doing good things yeah I’d agree Donovan kingan looks capable yeah no that’s what I said going into the season Donovan kingan instant starter in the NBA I would agree they need to find more playing time for him Delano banson is really good Denny they’re finally letting him have the ball just why is it so complicated why can’t teams figure this out Delano Banton and um like um Denny they need the ball to succeed but you’re also trying to develop a scoot Henderson a Shaden sharp and all these other guys that need the ball in their hands all the time move them move on let cling and play go get other go move other guys trade them just get something back so you can play these younger guys start to develop them hell I I bet you you could get a hall for Banton because I don’t think you need Banton long term like when I say hul I’m not saying you’re getting two first round picks for him or something but you could probably get something pretty solid for him and I just I don’t think he’s going to have the chance to succeed on this team like a Scoot and maybe a Denny could cuz I’d like to see them play together a little bit more but go try and do some of those things like Portland just try to put a roster that makes some sense together please you weren’t able to do it the whole time with Dame just don’t fail scoot Henderson now it’s so annoying the Kings um C minus uh in a slightly more inefficient dear and fox really good in clutch time uh herder and Murray have forgotten how to shoot the basketball that’s scary since Malik monk has entered the starting five they’ve been a lot better that’s good Keon ell should probably play more as well they have no Rim protection that’s scary but overall like the team’s numbers aren’t that bad and they can’t win bask ball game so I’m not really sure what’s going on with them um Kevin herder and Keegan Murray and absences from d rozan and monk isn’t nothing Sacramento shot profile is uh predictably uncomfortable yeah it’s because they got guys like sabonis working from the nail obviously Fox and D rozan are going to go get shots from anywhere so yeah the shot Prof profile probably doesn’t look good defensive containment in the half court is problematic yeah there’s not a lot of good like one-on-one defenders in this Keegan Murray’s been really good defensively so I want to give him a lot of credit for that he’s looked really good defensively they continue to limit look limit looks at the rim and transition opportunities that’s good losing more games in the clutch than any team outside of Charlotte contributes to choppy returns and that’s the thing at the start of the Season you had two of the best finishers in the NBA and fox and D rozan but yeah not finishing games as of late so I don’t know but again it hurts when none of your three-point Shooters can hit three-point shots right at the end of the day you’d like to think if this team just made some shots it’d be better maybe you make one trade and you go get yourself a center that’d be nice right that’d be nice I’d love to see Robert Williams on this team somehow spur a b that feels Fair like they’re more competitive than they were last year that’s good wemi looks good he’s he hasn’t been taking quite as many threes as of late so that’s good hopefully we’re uh we’re chopping that down a little bit um loads of people seem annoyed by wiim Bama’s three-point heavy profile that was me one of those people and it’s worth a discussion but he continues to get the time and space necessary to developed every facet of his offensive game that’s why I’m not tripping about it like too much because at the end of the day like look this te’s not winning a championship anyway just let him kind of figure out that he wants to do uh San Antonio uh they’re getting up uh Reps for Stefan Castle yeah no Castle looks fun he’s fit the team um like he’s not losing them games he’s incredibly inefficient and sometimes makes dumb decisions uh but he looks pretty good defensively he’s actually out of position sometimes but that’s just young people things it’s it’s going to happen but uh Castle looks like he could be a solid player for them I don’t know where he goes longterm necessarily but it’s cool a return of Devon Vel opens up immediate possibilities can we just start Devon Vel though can can can we please just put him back in the first five we need to see more minutes of wmi and vasel together um I I like Devon vasel next to wemi so I just I want to see them on the floor a little bit more raptors raptors aren’t playing well but yeah you should probably be happy if you’re a Raptors fan because um Scotty looks good RJ looks good Emanuel quickly been a little bit injured Grady dick looks like he’s getting better and also Grady dick might be the hardest worker in the NBA this season that boy that Dusty boy he just runs just runs the entire game he does not stop so I I love watching Grady dick for that reason he doesn’t always know where he’s going but he doesn’t stop running and I appreciate that about him uh injuries are obviously defining them Kelly o lenck yep uh Bruce Brown yep he’s another one that they should probably look to trade quickly they’ve missed a lot of time uh but they’re Scrappy right and uh if they get a uh like a lottery pick like a top four or five pick this year you could have a scary core uh MBO again was a guy that um I talked about going in the season and I I watched him at like the combine and everything and I was like huh I was like what an interesting player I’m like I don’t know what you do particularly well but you just look like you’re you’re helping out there it just looks like you’re helping everywhere he’s like a more useful Kenneth fared or something and that’s what he’s been in the NBA so far like there’s not one area of the game where I’m like that’s what mogo’s really good at but whenever he’s out there I’m like yeah mogo’s helping that boy helping so good for him and agbaji is alive that’s a good way to put him so um good for them good for the Raptors the Jazz I I don’t know I’d give him a c this is pretty much what I expected like their rookies look uh bad that’s the best way to put it right they look bad right now and uh it wasn’t a very good draft class and they they’re taking some risks on some higher upside dudes we we’ll have to see how they look long term keante George is such a bad defensive player but offensively um he he scores he scores more than you’d think and he gets decent amount of assist he turns the ball over a ton um he’s a young guard he’s trying to figure it out I’m not sure I see him as a point guard I was a little confused when they started him as that but he showed some promise last year let’s see if he starts cleaning it up by the end of the season marinan still looks good John Collins looks really good like I’d like to see John Collins on a different team because he’s a contributing winner Walker Kessler looks really good so that’s cool are they going to trade Jordan Clarkson uh we’ll see relegating uh rookie Cody Williams to the G League was the right call yeah no there was no reason to have him on the NBA roster right now so yeah what do you do can you move Colin Saxon to like the magic please I’d love to see it I’d love to see it um but yeah they’re the Jazz they’re going to do what they’re going to do and the Wizards give the Wizards an F don’t give no they deserve an F they make me so mad winning games is not a priority for the wizards but Bob casting around isn’t particularly necessary in the flatten Lottery odds yeah no you don’t have to be that bad and this team like they’re just not developing anybody either they’re not going to develop anybody and it’s just going to keep being bad and H the Wizards are the worst the Wizards are such so bad if there’s any Wizards fans watching these videos can you like just use the comment section to like express your feelings because Jordan P while he’s looked a little bit better when he’s playing point guard this year the team just looks a little bit better K kosma looks like a disaster out there Alex SAR stop making him play power forward he’s good at Center let him play there uh we’ll give bub Carrington time kabali I think is the smartest player on the team and he’s just as confused trying to play with the veteran players on his team he’s like what the are you guys doing out here like he’s like this is this is not good basketball that’s what I look that’s what I like this looks like kabali trying to tell Jordan P like bro what the you doing out there and pool’s like you don’t understand though I saw an open he’s like no no no you didn’t no you didn’t just stop saying that so I don’t know the wizards they make me mad there’s flashes from bub Carrington feel and playmaking yeah no like bub looks like he’s trying to do the right thing out there so that’s fair Kean George not a fan of watching him uh Alex SAR great defensively um Prem ENC Court product ad kabali is going to be more well-rounded than even Washington expected yeah they have no idea what to do with kabali and it makes me upset but overall the wizards they should get ne they’re they’re that bad it’s so annoying and I don’t think they’re going to develop people so is what it is what a happy note to end this video on but hey you guys leave me a comment below what do you guys think of these teams where what grades would you give do you guys want to see me give um my own grades in a video or something because we could always do that we could always go up to the the tier maker or something and do something like that but this week we’ve got a lot of other things to talk about a lot of trade rumors and stuff like that player breakdowns and stuff but anyway appreciate you guys for watching as always we’ll talk to you later thanks so much bye [Music]
