| 0:00.0 | We are going to talk about the worst draft misses of the last 15 years or so. I'm going to show you a series of NBA draft bus. We had to put them into this tier list. Based on why they failed, let's go Jabari Parker. Why did Jabari Parker fail in the NBA? He refused to change that could be a part of the conversation. He fits in multiple. He really does. Yeah, in another area also injuries did ruin you too i don't know i think this era he could be him like a six nine do-it-all driver shooter he's not do it all because he wasn't a shooter for him yeah that's a problem he refused to change but in his archetypes still works today so i don't think i'm gonna give him the in another era pass yeah it's really injuries ruined you if you want to be kind or you refuse to change if you feel like it was more |
| 0:40.7 | than just injuries I think he would have been still a productive NBA player if he like would at least |
| 0:46.1 | like gave effort defensively or expanded his game to three point line consistently too so I think |
| 0:50.2 | he refused to change is perfectly fine are you saying he'd be Paolo? In best case scenario, yeah, I guess. Best case scenario? Paulo? Without our PR is right now? Well, best case scenario, I guess is Camalo Anthony. But in a realistic case scenario, where he stayed healthy, he could have been Palo. It's also Palo's best case. All right, no mind. It's not about Paulo. You refuseo you refuse to change i think he got hurt came back still didn't really adapt like that if he either stayed healthy or changed a little bit he could have had a role player here you had to do one of those two to be up on your press conference when you get signed to chicago and then be like yeah like they don't pay me to play defense is one of the most damning things to hear as a fan. True. Jalil Ocalfour. In another era, you're him. In the 1990s, you are a demon. You are an all star. You have no idea how confused I was as a 16, 17 year old watching him go crazy one year and then just be unplayable to the next. I thought he had like some type of insane disease. Like how can you be this good and then fall off so fast? You should change real quick in the NBA for him. Rookie year, you're right. Like he was so flawed and I think if we were like if we were educated fans back then and not 16, we'd probably be like, oh, the defense isn't that good. It's not that efficient. I know but to go from seven was it 18 points per game or 16 something like that yeah around there |
| 2:05.6 | and then nothing the next year like the league changed overnight and you got left behind |
| 2:09.1 | that's tough that damn step currie ruined his career tough yeah it would have been |
| 2:14.2 | checked though step currie you owe jal loco for $100 million. |
| 2:18.6 | Crazy work. |
| 2:19.5 | Thonmaker. |
| 2:25.1 | Everything went wrong, wrong choice from day one. |
| 2:27.4 | I don't know. No, everything went wrong. |
| 2:29.1 | Everything. |
| 2:30.5 | Yeah, just one of those head scratching busts. |
| 2:33.2 | There's no way |
| 2:34.4 | what are you laughing |
| 2:35.1 | nothing |
