At first Dick seemed a little flaccid and unimpressive but he's really growing into something special. When he's risen to his full potential he 'll be able to penetrate at will, finish and shoot for great volume.
Glad I wasn't the only person bothered by this. Was starting to lose focus at the 3 minute mark! Sometimes its hard to notice these issues as a speaker, but hopefully the creator takes note to work on their delivery.
will never understand the waves of criticism for a guy in his rookie year. maybe fans were expecting a scottie barnes' immediate high impact, but that's not how growth and development works. it's gonna take time. especially when for the first half of this year, they were giving dennis 10-20 shots a game and too much usage. nobody had room to be themselves and develop. ever since he left, we actually are seeing the young guys get the ball and prove something to us. gradey is gonna be fine. not all lottery picks burst onto the scene.
What a roller coaster, and not tiny sample sizes either. Looked like an all-time brutal bust for about 3 months, now and 3 months after that he looks like he has even more potential than I thought he had on draft day.
Love the video❤ I’m glad Gradey’s playing well now. It was frustrating when his shot wasn’t going down and in the G League he didn’t exactly dominate. As fans we expected more right away because of the hype but we forget he was only 19. He’s much than a 3 point shooter and your video did a good explaining that.
man, im a brazilian and this was the first season that i saw games and videos...i love your content and your videos... a lot of knowledge... keep the good work (sorry, my english is not that good)
I, along with many other rational fans, could see Gradey’s ability long before his shot started falling. I am not surprised in the least and I expect him to improve incrementally over the next five years becoming a Top 50 player. Just watch.
I will admit I was a hater. But I'm glad he's proved me wrong. It's really seems like since the start of the new year he's dialed it up a few notches. He's more confident with his shot, he seems to be finding himself in the right spots on offence, and is able to contribute defensively. Looking forward to seeing his development, gotta feeling we're just starting to see him scratch the service.
Outside of his shooting, what I'm most impressed by is Gradey's steals. Steals are generally correlated with game sense, with players in his profile getting quite few. But as it stands, he's actually getting competent steels from more experienced players. That's the kind of player who might never be a great defender, but he can make up for his general weaknesses on that end by being a constant threat to steal.
I've been a Raptors fan since the Rudy Gay dark days, but Gradey Dick would be perfect on the Warriors as a complimentary piece, having a high quality distributor in Steph who can shoot and pass, as well as getting open looks from Draymond.
I can see the playmaking potential. He definitely just needs time to adapt to the pace of the NBA. Once this happens and a little bit of polish. He could easily average above 4 assist per game.
He’s gunna be a solidn3 point guy who can hit mid range he’s gunna be Toronto’s either starting shooting guard or he like a 6th man of the yeee type in his career kinda like a Jordan clarkson I think he can be a very valuable player especially if TO doesn’t sign Gary Trent and just rolls with Gradey
Who is everyone? Because it's weird that a rookie who wasn't going to be considered anything but a role guy be getting developed in the g league and off the bench. Everyone needs to chill.
Anyone who was calling him a bust or a whiff that early needs to chill out on the internet a bit lol everyone is so reactionary now, he wasn't physically ready for the NBA and that became ultra clear after his conditioning stunt with the 905

🤣🤣🤣
This is fuckin crazy
😅
Dick needs to toughen up
👏
why bro always singing the last word of every other sentence 😂😂 😭 my man created an inflection algorithm and followed it to a TEE lmao

haha same for me! right at the 3 minute mark I decided to check the comments to see if it was bothering anyone else.
this is fucking hilarious xD
Made the cut, a baseball channel is way worse at this
Well now I can't focus😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he’s a grower, not a shower in the league.
What I never anticipated is Gradey Dick leading the team in charges drawn
Kyle Lowry 2.0
Yep
@@mr.t-rex3113he needs to get a bigger 🍑 before he can be crowned K-Low 2.0

Gradey is a stud
"Let's just call him Richard"
Love the vids man! Would love to see a Deni Adjiva vid in the future!
18pts 7-9 and 4-4 from three tonight in indy!
He’s good my god, his feel and vision is immaculate
Grady is the secret weapon
Strokin' it.

As a KU fan it’s great to see him and agbaji doing well on the same team, wish them and the raptors the best of luck
Great video, glad I stumbled across this. Happy to be in before 1K, I am sure you will be at 10K in no time!
Great videos man, I think that if you spice up the thumbnails your channel will really take off
Great video bro I like how you highlighted his movement off ball, an underrated skill not talked about enough for most NBA players. You earned a Sub

So glad I traded for him in fantasy early
his off ball movement is rly nice, he plays hard. if thats shot keeps falling he'll be a valuable piece for a long time.
I never doubted Gradey even after all the bad games I go to see him in the preseason in person (yeah it’s the preseason I know) but he really was nice
This guy is the next Mike Miller. Quote me on that.
@@Helpusall6565 bro mvp is insane. he will probably be a all star player at best which is reallly good.
@@Helpusall6565 maybe man hopefully he does develop🙏🙏
Subscribed for the algorithm :D good luck mate. I'd love to see some more Hornets Content!
Great vid! He is going to be something special ❤
Gradey is very coachable. Did what the staff asked and came back better. He is going to be very valuable for the raptors.
He had near flawless shooting form and a quick release. There was no way he was going to suck despite his poor start.
I will admit I was a hater. But I'm glad he's proved me wrong. It's really seems like since the start of the new year he's dialed it up a few notches. He's more confident with his shot, he seems to be finding himself in the right spots on offence, and is able to contribute defensively.

Grady is a good player, these fair weather fans have no patience.
“5 star McDonald’s all American who went to Kansas proves everyone wrong”

this is why all of us UA-cam commenters don't work as professional NBA scouts.
Give darko credit
i love Dick and i hope the raptors keep him around for his entire career
Thank you for telling us how much you love Dick.
Man took a charge from Giannis. That's ballsy.
I've been a Raptors fan since the Rudy Gay dark days, but Gradey Dick would be perfect on the Warriors as a complimentary piece, having a high quality distributor in Steph who can shoot and pass, as well as getting open looks from Draymond.
should have been named Grademy
never know this guy before he do a air ball vs wemby and got block really really badly
I can see the playmaking potential. He definitely just needs time to adapt to the pace of the NBA. Once this happens and a little bit of polish. He could easily average above 4 assist per game.
dude killed the pacers
Im glad Grade A Dick is doing well. We need more jersey swaps
He’s gunna be a solidn3 point guy who can hit mid range he’s gunna be Toronto’s either starting shooting guard or he like a 6th man of the yeee type in his career kinda like a Jordan clarkson I think he can be a very valuable player especially if TO doesn’t sign Gary Trent and just rolls with Gradey
POV: Gradey Dick has two good games in a row. Hasn't proved anyone wrong yet.
Between Noah Knigga and Gradey Dick, these athletes are trying to get all the networks cancelled.
I wanted my pistons to draft him. Monty would have ruined him regardless
Nice job.
Please MTP, let's move to 2024-25.......thanks...

Hes wyte. Hes not going to get all the heaping unearned praise others get.
He'll have to actually earn it.
1.25 or 1.5 speed brothers. Solid video but every second basketball youtuber has a weird, staggered cadence
Anyone who was calling him a bust or a whiff that early needs to chill out on the internet a bit lol everyone is so reactionary now, he wasn't physically ready for the NBA and that became ultra clear after his conditioning stunt with the 905
WOW... he hit a corner 3 when his team was down by 30 lol Seriously?!?!!?
also i know this guy because wemby 10 block haha
Why does every famous person with that last name have the same terrible haircut?
Remember me when you become famous❤
Yay
😂😂😂bruh he’s unbelievably trash ….
