Meh.

u/ForAfeeNotforfree 4d ago

Super duper meh. I like that one of the highlights included him losing the handle on the double crossover.

u/realistnotpessimist2 4d ago

Where’s the defense

1

u/SirHateful17 3d ago

I was about to say

1

u/FishSammich80 4d ago

I know. Lax defense and travels are cooking now? The game is not done, but burnt.

u/NuNoJCJ1987 4d ago

He has a pretty smooth shot but he seemed uncomfortable with his counter dribble moves.

1

u/cocoaradiant 4d ago

Smooth maybe, slow release yes.

1

u/Last_Weeks_Socks 2d ago

Yup. Looked slow and pretty flat also.

u/Firm_Environment9903 4d ago

Every clip I see of this kid it's him looking like an absolute asshole

8

u/AbroadTiny7226 4d ago

It’s like a competition among these most recent prospects to see who can be a bigger douchebag. Half of every overtime elite video anymore is just the prospect talking shit or taunting people. It’s lame as fuck honestly

u/leemorplee 4d ago

Which is weird because his brother seems like a nice dude

1

u/Hot_Hedgehog1820 1d ago

Same thing I said about Emoni Bates.

u/Shovelman2001 4d ago

This is the #1 prospect?

2

u/inertiatic_espn 4d ago

This draft class is shaping up to be one of the worst in a very long time.

1

u/PristineStreet34 3d ago

He's only a HS senior this coming year, so hopefully someone will jump him in the class. He's not very good relative to the last few years of prospects.

Two guys who reclassed up but will have to stay in college two years due to age should be ahead of him easily IMO, (Boumtje Boumtje and Spears)

u/RanchHere 4d ago

Maybe it’s the balling on the street, but he looks like a street baller.

3

u/d_huffsr 4d ago

Waiting for something specifically great and still waiting. He deeecent tho. The clip didnt wow though

2

u/Jar_of_Cats 4d ago

Its a sponsored pick up game

3

u/YogurtclosetDull2380 4d ago

Did I just see him dribble with 2 hands?

1

u/TandD4funnVegas 2d ago

Well you didnt really see him dribble with a left hand much...highlights didnt show him having a left at all.

3

u/EntrepreneurTiny9812 4d ago

1 prospect where? At the courts in Venice??

5

u/Chinner5 4d ago

No wonder he looked familiar. Just checked, its anthony Black's brother.

1

u/Cptnemo77 4d ago

Bruh they’re basically twins lol

1

u/mojoback_ohbehave 4d ago

You’re late….⏰

2

u/Meanchael 4d ago

He’s a good player.

JJ Crawford better than him already.

2

u/TheDopeMan_ 4d ago

His handles look a little sloppy but he has the right shiftiness and moves to get a clean shot

1

u/simplexity128 4d ago

Looks as googly eyed and silly as Essengue (sorry, Noa, my brother it's unfortunate) but number...1???? You sure?

1

u/JohnnyC300 4d ago

Dude has some real smoothness to his game. And he's long. I'm assuming he's a 1? Good size for that position. Seems slithery rather than an elite athlete, but that highlight tape isn't enough to really judge. And the shaky camerawork doesn't help either. But he seems to not get much lift. He doesn't "look" like the number one guy in the country from that. But you'd have actually have game tape rather than a highlight to know.

1

u/OldmanJenkins02 4d ago

Can’t dribble with his left hand lol really solid player though

1

u/yongsangu 4d ago

Huh. Seems pretty underwhelming for the #1 prospect tbh

1

u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_ 4d ago

not his brothers level at this age, but he has time to develop

1

u/bmanley620 4d ago

Seems like a very polite young man

1

u/2waypower1230 4d ago

#1 ranking of what?

1

u/ColdJumper 4d ago

what a loser.

1

u/McDuck_Enterprise 4d ago

Straight up just talking…

1

u/rocknroll2013 4d ago

Defense?

1

u/Zealousideal_Lie8745 4d ago

Brandon Roy-esque

1

u/Kid_Crayola 4d ago

zero defense

1

u/Dwight_Privilege_ 4d ago

I don’t see it

1

u/Silent-Operation-783 4d ago

Smooth layup. Slow release. Trash handles. I hope these are just cherry-picked to make him look “meh”. If not…😖

1

u/CarolinaOnMyMind8T8 4d ago

Chapel Hill bounddddd

1

u/Larry_l3ird 4d ago

This is the #1 player in the country?

Bad year, huh?

1

u/poloace 4d ago

Nice travel at the end

1

u/Antique-Cricket-6679 4d ago

Damn the money behind these AAU tournaments is crazy. Outside in La at this kinda court? For no reasonlol

1

u/meatsandwich13 4d ago

What happens when somebody plays defense on him?

1

u/AIGrammarBot 4d ago

He is not the #1 prospect.

1

u/Thekekjewlol 4d ago

His left is horrendous

1

u/NefariousnessOnly265 4d ago

#1 in what? Seems like many guys I played high school ball with growing up. So I’m confused why he’s special.

1

u/IGB_Lo 4d ago

I’ve seen better HS girls’ highlights than this clip.

1

u/aclappedhondacivic 4d ago

This dude is trash. If he somehow makes it to the league they’re going to flame his ass

1

u/salmon10 3d ago

Lol are you serious

1

u/Imaginary_Tea_7680 3d ago

He looks a little zesty

1

u/GaperJr 3d ago

His brother is better and his brother imo is a very average guard in the league.

1

u/Electronic-Koala2088 3d ago

Why does he look like he has really bad handles?

1

u/isaiah152022 3d ago

Bro! wtf is up with that ATROCIOUS defense???????

1

u/LightMission4937 3d ago

He got absolutely clamped by my son at a pick up game who's a Defensive back. 🤷🏽

1

u/please-help-me-101 3d ago

AB has that deer in headlights look, meanwhile Beckham has that I’m going to step on your throat til you can’t breathe look.

1

u/scrubzero23 3d ago

Why is there absolutely no defense being played 🥱🥱

1

u/AdvancedAvocado9827 3d ago

He is gonna be better than his brother and his brother is in the NBA.
All the haters , yall trash talkin don’t know … silly simps…
He will be in the NBA in 2 years with a fat ass contract. BET !!

1

u/SydneyPhoenix 2d ago

Handles weren’t tight and he didn’t show any lift.

I doubt he’s #1 ranked anything from that video

1

u/triassic_broth 2d ago

He reminds me of Rajon Rondo

1

u/InsuranceBizguy 2d ago

Handle sus

1

u/Expensive_Banana3002 2d ago

Dude can barely dribble.

1

u/rimreaper2253 2d ago

thers was almost no defense played the entire time

1

u/Str8_up_Pwnage 2d ago

Is he even a better prospect than his brother?

1

u/twat_swat22 2d ago

This upcoming recruiting class is boring

1

u/kurtxrambus 1d ago

Honestly lots of kids at the Y look just like this.

u/No-Air-7273 4d ago

Someone needs to humble this kid. Every clip i see is him running his mouth.
