16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Under Oops tonight, all right, let's talk some basketball. So

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: before we go any further, I want to emphasize, like obviously,

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: I took these rankings very seriously. I'm gonna be honest

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: with you. Everything after number ten is still up in

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: the air. For me. I have stared at it and

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: stared at it and stared at it NonStop, and I

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: keep changing my mind on stuff. And the main reason

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: why is every one of these guys is so close.

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: To be clear, the ten guys we have remaining are

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: what like Jokicic, Embiid, Luca Tatum, Lebron are small forwards,

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Yannis. I think that's all of them.

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, I think, is the tenth guy. So there's

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: ten guys there, and in any given playoff series, any

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: of those guys could win. In any given playoff series,

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a clear guy at the top in

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Nikola Jokicic right who deserves that spot, and we're gonna

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: get there. Big shock, you guys. Anybody who's been following

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: this show knows that Jokic is going to be number

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: one on my list. But after that, like it's anybody's

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: series I've watched. In a playoff series this year, Anthony

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: Davis look like a slightly better player than Steph Curry,

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: even though Steph Curry literally won a Finals MVP the

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: year before. That doesn't mean that stet the Ad is

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: better than Steph. It just means that these guys are

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: all super close, and so in any given series, if

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: a couple of role players are different one way or another,

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things go one way or another, any

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: one of these guys can win. I have Luka Doncic

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: at number ten. The gap between Luka Doncic and the

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: guys at the very top of the league is extremely small.

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: So again, don't take it super super personally if I

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: have your favorite player a little bit lower on this list.

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: My favorite player is Lebron James, as you guys know,

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: and he's pretty low on this list. That doesn't mean

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: that if a playoff series started tomorrow, I wouldn't want

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: him on my team. It just means that man, like

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: all these other guys, are so good, and he's in

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: his twenty first season and eight he's a million years old.

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: You get the point. So all I'm saying is like, again,

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I have Luka Doncic at number two, but I view

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: him as a bona fide top tier superstar that is

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: absolutely capable of being the best player on a championship team.

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: This is just the way things broke in this particular season.

59
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: And to make a long story short, the reason why

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I have Luka Doncics at ten is because he missed

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So there's a couple of specific reasons why

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: the MAVs missed the playoffs that I think Lucas shares

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: some culpability for. So we're going to get into that

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: here later on, but let's start with the season recap.

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: He averaged thirty two points, nine rebounds, and eight assists,

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: yet a career high in points per game, also a

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: career high sixty one percent true shooting percentage. I think

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Luka Doncic is the best helio centric shot creator in

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: the league. Now, what does helio centric mean in the

70
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: context of basketball? When and I didn't coin this term,

71
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: somebody else did. I couldn't tell you who did. But

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: when I think of the helio centric star, I think

73
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: of either getting the defensive rebound of a teammate, getting

74
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the rebound and immediately passing it to him, or him

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: getting the inbounds passed from the baseline and him slowly

76
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: bringing the ball up the floor. And every single possession

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: is determined with a live dribble by that player near

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: the top of the key, and the only time they

79
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: ever give up the basketball is basically when they're tired.

80
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: And usually heliocentric players, they spend so much energy creating

81
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: shots that they're not very active when they give up

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: the basketball. Most of them tend to stand thirty feet

83
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: away from the basket and basically rest and occasionally take

84
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: a catch and shoot jump shot. But for the most part,

85
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: they determine the outcome of every single possession. That's what

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I think of with heliocentric players in the league. Think

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: like prime James Harden, although obviously he's had to give

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: up the ball a lot more in later versions of

89
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: his career. Trey Young's another guy who who I think

90
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: of in that context. This particular breed of basketball player

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: is becoming a little less common, which I think is

92
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: a good thing. But that's what I think of when

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: I think of heliocentric I think Luca is the very

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: best at it. He was the best high volume pick

95
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: and role player in the entire NBA this year. There

96
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: were fifteen players who had at least a thousand reps.

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: This is that high volume pick and roll list I've

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: been using throughout our entire player rankings. Luca ranked number

99
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: one on that list, averaging one point one five five

100
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: points per possession. Good combination of deadly shot making and

101
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: the ability to make all of the necessary reads one

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: point zero nine points per ISO. If you remember our

103
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: high volume ISO list, there were twenty five players who

104
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: did at least two hundred and fifty possessions of isolation basketball.

105
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: He ranked seventh on that list out of twenty five.

106
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: And then one point one five points per post up.

107
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: There were There were twenty players in the NBA this

108
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: year who ran at least two hundred post ups, and

109
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: Luca ranked fourth out of those twenty players. So one

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: of the the very best pick and roll player, one

111
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: of the very best post up players in the league,

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: and near the top of the high volume ISO players

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: in the league as well. Shot making pretty good, not

114
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: great in catch and shoot situations thirty one percent in

115
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: catch and shoot. But just to give you an idea

116
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: of just how heliocentric Luka Doncic is. Of his seven

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six jump shots that he took this year,

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: according to Synergy, only eighty seven were catch and shoots.

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Think of that again, seven hundred sixty six jump shots.

120
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: All of them were off the dribble except for eighty

121
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: seven and catch and shoot situations. He shot thirty nine

122
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: point four percent on pull up jumpers, though, which is

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: very good. And of those pull up jumpers, he made

124
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty eight from three on thirty four percent,

125
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: which bumps up the effective field goal percentage. So Luca's

126
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: effective field goal percentage on pull up jump shots was

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: fifty one percent last year, which is actually really good.

128
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Anything over fifty percent is really good. Remember, Paul George

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: was at like forty nine percent, and he's considered a

130
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: great pull up jump shooter. He shot fifty four percent

131
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: on floaters. He's got one of the best little short

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: push shots in the league. Sixty nine percent on hook

133
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: shots and sixty eight percent at the rim, which is

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: really good for forward as well. Also, and this is

135
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: the part that's like almost impossible to uh to learn

136
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: as a basketball player. This is just a gift that

137
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: some players have. Luca is one of the very best

138
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: passers in the league. I have him in that very

139
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: top tier. He's a master at manipulating help defenders. When

140
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: he gets in pick and roll, he's just watching the help.

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: He's just watching the low man. And if the lowman

142
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: doesn't come, he's gonna keep working his way down. Remember

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: lowman is the guy guarding the guy in the weak

144
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: side corner, and his responsibility is to effectively make a

145
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: read as to whether or not he needs to help

146
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: in pick and roll at the rim. And so if

147
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: lucas going over the ball screen, he's got the defender

148
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: trailing him. On the play, the role man is going

149
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: hard towards the rim. He's just working his way downhill,

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: and as soon as that screen defender steps up onto Luca,

151
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: the lob is open. But if the lowman steps over,

152
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: he's hitting that skip pass to the corner. Every single

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: time low man stays home, he's throwing that lob. Big

154
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: man doesn't step up and stays back on the lob.

155
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: That's where he's taking that little push shot in the lane,

156
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: or getting closer to the basket and pump fake and

157
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: drawing a foul and making the shot with a defender

158
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: draped on his back. He's just an absolute master at

159
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: manipulating the help defenders in pick and roll, which is

160
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: why he was the best high volume pick and roll

161
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: passer in the league this year. Very similar in our

162
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: bestvolume best high volume pick and roll player in the

163
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: league this year. He also similar thing in post up situations.

164
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: If he runs the ball screen and he gets a

165
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: switch and it gets a smaller player, He's going to

166
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: back him down to the post. He's going to just

167
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: work his way into the lane, and if the second

168
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: defender comes, he's making that kickout pass. No defender, He's

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: going to shoot one of those little short jumpers or

170
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: push shots in the lane. Luca, I'm gonna be honest

171
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: with you, guys. Luca is a very polarizing player for

172
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: me as a basketball fan, because there are a lot

173
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: of things that I absolutely love about his game. And

174
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: those of you guys who have been following the show

175
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: for a while could probably guess because my favorite like

176
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: he kind of fits the a lot of my favorite

177
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: archetype traits in basketball. But then he also has some

178
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: things that drive me crazy. He's big and strong, which

179
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: helps him to get to his spots in the playoffs. Well,

180
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: you guys know how much I value strength in a

181
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: playoff setting. He's a super versatile shot creator. Like all

182
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: of his possessions look the same, but his shot attempts

183
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: tend to look very different, Like he's gonna, you know,

184
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: take a weird looking push shot or floater or hook

185
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: shot or jumper they're all gonna look different. They're a

186
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: couple that are similar. Like, generally speaking, his step back

187
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: three is always going to his left, So if he's

188
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: in and really any step back jumper, if he's in

189
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: a situation where he's working with a live dribble and

190
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: he wants to go to a step back, he's gonna

191
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: step back going to his left, so hard, right foot forward,

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: pushing back and kind of in that like a leaning

193
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: fade away jumper kind of situation. And then in the post,

194
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: if he's gonna take a jumper, he's always going over

195
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: his right shoulder, So he's gonna fade over his right

196
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: shoulder and shoot a jumper. If he goes over his

197
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: left shoulder, it's gonna be a hook shot or a pushot.

198
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: He doesn't take fade aways or off the dribble jumpers

199
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: going to his right. So that's this one thing that

200
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: is somewhat consistent. But other than that, almost every single

201
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: shot attempt he takes look different. Almost every single layup

202
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: he takes has kind of a different release angle or

203
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: release point or things along those lines. He is a

204
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: super versatile shot maker, which is what makes him so

205
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: incredibly difficult to guard. Again, if you like imagine you're

206
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: guarding Luca, you don't have You're not expecting the same

207
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: shot every time you're you can't contest to a specific

208
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: spot because he'll just adjust his release angle a little higher,

209
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: a little lower, He'll pump aking step through. He just

210
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: there's way too many different types of shots that he

211
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: can make, and that that we always I've always talked

212
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: about how that versatile shot making just makes you more

213
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: effective in the playoffs. He's also as an archetype, that

214
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: textbook rim pressuring playmaking forward that I've always gravitated towards.

215
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: As Again, when we did the archetypes of players, it

216
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: was big rim pressuring play making forward, three level scoring forward,

217
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: hyper athletic guard center, and then like superstar center like

218
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: yokicin EMBIID, and then Unicorn was basically the last one

219
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: on that list. My favorite of those five archetypes is

220
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: the big rim pressuring play making forward. So again another

221
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: reason why I should like Luca. Uh. He was top

222
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: ten in points in the paint this here with eight

223
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six. I think he finished ninth if

224
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, consistently makes teams pay for overhelping and doubling,

225
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, he generated twenty two points

226
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: per game just off of his passes. So the Mavericks

227
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: average twenty two points a game directly off of Luka

228
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: Doncich's passes, which ranked sixth in the entire NBA this season.

229
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: And lastly, the last trait that I've always gravitated towards

230
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: with basketball players, Luca is a freaking psychopath man. He

231
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: is a crazy competitor. He absolutely wants to destroy you

232
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: and let you know about it, which is something that

233
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I always really liked in basketball players, players that really,

234
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: anybody in life that lacks competitiveness. It's something that I

235
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: struggled to relate to. Obviously, I shouldn't say that I

236
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: hate people like that. That's mean, But like I've always

237
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: gravitated towards competitors, there are people that I can relate to.

238
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: I try to find guys like that to play with

239
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: me because I still take basketball very seriously. It's just

240
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: a trait that I've always been very drawn to. But

241
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: Luca has a lot of things that I dislike about

242
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: basketball players, and he's outrageously helio centric. We were talking

243
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: about hello centrism earlier that particular archetype is not an

244
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: archetype that I like. He ran six hundred and fifty

245
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: five ISOs this year, which was most in the league.

246
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: To give you an idea of just how crazy that is,

247
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: Lebron James and Kevin Durant, two of Luca's peers at

248
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: his position, combined for fewer ISOs than Luca ran this season.

249
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: So even though most of his shot attempts have a

250
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: unique variety to them, his possessions all look the same.

251
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Lucas getting the ball on the back court and he's

252
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: walking it up the floor, which, by the way, is

253
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: why the maps were twenty eighth in pace and why

254
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about Kyrie being on the team to

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: kind of bring more pace to the team. But he's

256
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna walk the ball up the floor, and he's gonna

257
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: do one of two things. He's either going to call

258
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: for a ball screen from the big man and start

259
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: to work that equation. I just talked to you guys

260
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: about trying to get the help defender to come out

261
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: of the corner to help at the rim, to open

262
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: up the skip pass or to open up the lob

263
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: pass if that guy doesn't help, or to take a shot.

264
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: If the big man doesn't help, or if the big

265
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: man switches, he's going to take him out to the

266
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: perimeter and he's probably gonna take a step back three.

267
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: Or if there's a smaller defender somewhere on the floor

268
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: that he really wants to target, say Patrick Beverley against

269
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: the Clippers in the playoffs those years, he's going to

270
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: call him into the ball screen, get the switch, and

271
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: he's going to work him down to the post, and

272
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: he's going to post him up and either make a

273
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: play or look to score over the top, or if

274
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: a team is dumb enough. I think the Clippers at

275
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: a couple points in those series straight up just put

276
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: Pat Bev on Luco, which was incredibly foolish, and Luca

277
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: towards them in those situations by just bringing the ball

278
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: up the floor and attacking. He's looking to get their

279
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: big man in pick and roll to make a decision,

280
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: or to target your worst defender and make a decision.

281
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: He's doing that every single time, which is why he

282
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: ends up with ridiculously high volume pick and roll numbers

283
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: and ridiculously high volume isolation and post up numbers. There's

284
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: value in that. I want to be clear him being

285
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: great r at that is super valuable. It shows in

286
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: the points per possession. It's ironically the most one of

287
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: the most effective forms of playoff offense in short bursts

288
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: in pivotal playoff games. But that's literally all that Luca does.

289
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: There's another stat to kind of demonstrate what I'm talking about.

290
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Ninety three catch and shoot jumpers with almost seven hundred ISOs.

291
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Ninety three catch and shoot jumpers with almost seven hundred ISOs.

292
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: Lebron and KD combined to take four hundred and fifty

293
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: catch and shoot jumpers. Why how did Lebron and KD

294
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: end up average or between the two of them averaging

295
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty five catch and shoot jumpers a year,

296
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: while Luca only took ninety three. How does that happen?

297
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,239
Speaker 1: It happens because Lebron and Kevin Durant play normal basketball.

298
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: They slide in and function as part of a five

299
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: man unit, a five man flow. Then in a specific situation,

300
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: when all of the circumstances call for it, Lebron or

301
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: KD might start spamming in action. You will see that

302
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: with Lebron, like he'll just flow as part of the

303
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: team and then it's like, oh, it's the fourth quarter

304
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: against Denver in Game one, We've got a chance to

305
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: steal this game. Come here, Jamal Murray. You can't guard

306
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: in the me Austin Reeves gohot screen action and he'll

307
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: run that time and time again. They will spam in

308
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: short bursts in pivotal moments, but that's all they'll do.

309
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: They don't do that from the opening tip of the

310
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: first quarter through the entire game. And how do you

311
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: function as part of a five man flow? You have

312
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: to be willing to do work off the ball. Both Lebron,

313
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: James and Kevin Durant operate a lot off the ball.

314
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Lebron this year did a ton of ball screening, so

315
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: he'd give the ball to Austin Reeves or Dennis Schroeder

316
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: or D'Angelo Russell or Russell Westbrook, and he set a

317
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: ball screen and rolled to the basket. Lebron also does

318
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: a ton of duck in the post, either through high

319
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: low action or sprinting up the floor in transition. If

320
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: he has a smaller defender on him, he's going to

321
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: try to get a deep seal when the defense isn't

322
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: set and help. He does all of these things to

323
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: be a functional offensive player when he doesn't have the basketball,

324
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: including averaging two hundred and twenty or taking you know,

325
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: him and Katie combining for four hundred and fifty catch

326
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: and shoot threes this year, or catch and shoot jumpers.

327
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: I should say Kevin Durant himself. He runs a ton

328
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: of stuff off of wide pindowns. If you find if

329
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: you go on my Twitter feed and go back about

330
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: two weeks, because I think it was when I was

331
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, go back about two weeks and I

332
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: posted a video of Kevin Durant and all of the

333
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: off ball work that he does to kind of demonstrate.

334
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: It was from a game last season when he was

335
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: with the Nets. But he'll run off of wide pin downs,

336
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: he'll seal high post position and make spinoffs to the

337
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: rim for lobs, and and he'll like he just does

338
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: a ton of work off the basketball, And so that

339
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: allows them to disappear into the flow of games for

340
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: long stretches and then grab the reins when they need to,

341
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: which saves them fatigue, which saves them the repetitiveness that

342
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: makes them easier to guard. Those are very important traits

343
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: that I think it's better to be helio centric and

344
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: short bursts than it is to be heliocentric in totality.

345
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: Is basically the point. I've never been a fan of

346
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: players that lean entirely into heliocentric basketball. I think it

347
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: inflates per possession numbers for individual players, but it becomes

348
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: easier to guard in large doses, which hurts them, particularly

349
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: at the end of games when they've won. A single

350
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: defense has seen that action fifty times in a single game,

351
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: and at the end of playoff series, when the single

352
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: defense has seen that action for five games, you'll see

353
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: those players start to lose effectiveness towards the end of

354
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: games and series, which is exactly what happened to James Harden.

355
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Hasn't happened nearly to the same extent with Luca because

356
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: of the variety in his shot selection, but you do

357
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: see Luca fatigue towards the end of playoff games. You

358
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: see Luca's efficiency drop a little bit at the end

359
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: of those games. I think that's something that will go

360
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: that will go better for Luca in the future if

361
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: he finds a way to kind of disappear into the

362
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: flow more often so that when he grabs the reins,

363
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: it's even more effective. The last crazy thing that drives

364
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: the last thing that drives me crazy with Luca is

365
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: he just simply does not care to defend or box out.

366
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: He grabs eight point six rebounds a game, but they

367
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: are mostly uncontested defensive rebounds. I watched a lot of

368
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: Dallas after the Kyrie Irving trade this year, and I

369
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times, like in a pivotal

370
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: moment when another team's on a run, or in a

371
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter possession when they're down five and they desperately

372
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: need to stop, or Luca just will miss a box

373
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: out because he just the shot goes up and he

374
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: just turns and looks at the rim and just kind

375
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: of starts walking in towards the rim. He just or

376
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: defensively will just throw a sloppy closed out or or

377
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: fail to help in a low man situation. He just

378
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: I thought this was probably the worst defensive season of

379
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: Luca's career, and just in general with his commitment to

380
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: the dirty work. It was almost like he let go

381
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: of the rope. It was like the Kyrie Irving trade

382
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: went down. He identified pretty quickly early on that they

383
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: weren't very good and I agree. I was the first

384
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: one to tell you, guys, I didn't think the Mavericks

385
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: were going to be good this season. It was going

386
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: to be the following season if they had any chance.

387
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: But Luca was culpable in a lot of ways because

388
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: of his lack of commitment to the dirty work. So

389
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of the perfect segue into the reason why

390
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: I had Luca down at ten. Remember that all these

391
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: guys are close. All of these guys from one to

392
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: twelve I think are superstars. I had him above Kawhi

393
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: because Kauhi's lack of availability just completely erases him from

394
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: these equations. I had him over Devin Booker because just

395
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: last season, the season before this previous one, Luca just

396
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: utterly dominated Devin Booker in a playoff series and kind

397
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: of embarrassed him down the stretch of the series. So

398
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: to me, I didn't feel comfortable putting him below Devin Booker.

399
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Luca has no case to be over any of the

400
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: superstars that are ahead of him at this point in time,

401
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: after the worst defensive season of his career and a

402
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: season one Again, guys, this is a league that allows

403
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: twenty teams out of the thirty into the playoffs twenty

404
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: of the thirty two thirds of the teams. There's no

405
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: excuse for missing the playoffs in these fields, as in

406
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: this field, as a bona fide superstar, unless you've been

407
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: super injured to the point where you miss a ton

408
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: of games. And I think Luca played like sixty five.

409
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: This is not Lebron and Anthony Davis each playing forty games.

410
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: That's not out that. That's not how this season went.

411
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Missing the playoffs. Missing the play in in a twenty

412
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: out of thirty team in a league that allows twenty

413
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: out of the thirty teams in to me, hurts you

414
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: on this list, which is why I have him down

415
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: at number ten. And again Kyrie Irving. I thought Kyrie

416
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: was awesome after going to Dallas, and the numbers show that,

417
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: the scoreboards showed that it was Luca who declined. Kyrie's

418
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: not as good a player is Luca, But Luca just

419
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: did not play well down the stretch of the season.

420
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: That's it. I am a huge believer in Luka Doncic's ceiling.

421
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: I do think he's gonna work his way back up

422
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: this list very soon. Again, specific things I want to

423
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: see him work on getting better at the dirty work,

424
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: which starts by conditioning his body to get to the

425
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: point where he can devote resources to that end without

426
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: hurting the offensive end, and then two working on going

427
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: extended stretches of basketball games as a cog and a

428
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: five man system rather than always playing the heliocentric style.

429
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: It will help his teammates get into a rhythm, it

430
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: will save energy and reps to make him harder to

431
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: guard at the later portions of games and in series,

432
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: and it will make it more appealing for other stars

433
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: to come play with him, which is the ultimate goal.

434
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: You need to make Kyrie happy so that he doesn't

435
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: ask for a trade. If Kyrie does ask for a trade,

436
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: because he's Kyrie irving, you need to eventually convince somebody

437
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: to say, I want to partner it with Luca on

438
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: this thing. And if all he does is the heliocentric thing,

439
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: the only stars that are going to consider are pick

440
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: and roll guys, Guys like Anthony Davis. And there's like

441
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: one of those who's really really good in the league, right,

442
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: who's an actual star who just screens and rolls all

443
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: the time, Like Jokic ain't going anywhere. I mean embiids,

444
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: embid in Luca would just be a really weird fit,

445
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: you know. So it's just one of those things. If

446
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: he wants to get a legitimate co star to commit

447
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: long term, he's gonna have to demonstrate a willingness to

448
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: play a more share the load type of offensive system.

449
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: All right, guys, that's all I have for today. Like

450
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I said at the time of me recording this on

451
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: Sunday early morning or a late morning, I should say,

452
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: I don't even know who I'm gonna put it a

453
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: number nine for Tuesday, but I will let you guys know.

454
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about it and sleep on it one

455
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: more time, and I will let you guys know on Tuesday.

456
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: As always, I appreciate your support and I'll see you

457
00:22:50,760 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: next time. The volume
