Why Child PRODIGY Julian Newman FAILED to Make the NBA (Or even College). In this video I talk about julian newman and how good I believe that he actually is and whether I think that he will make it to college basketball or not. I also talk about the reasons why julian newman could be the start of a slippery slope for high school basketball in the mixtape era. Julian newman has been in the spotlight for years as he played varsity basketball as a 4 foot 5 11 year old. Julian newman is arguably the most hyped 11 year old of all time. I personally am not a fan of his attitude or julian newmans dad but his talent is incredible however his impact is not. The problem is his height, he is extremely small at 5 foot 7 and may not grow. For this reason it is unlikely that he makes it to the nba.

Second channel for nba 2k22 myteam youtuber DBG. I upload more long form documentary style content on this channel. - Ігри
This is a video from a few months ago on my Bball daily channel. Felt that it was more suited to this channel.
The point about the NBA draft is from a troll page however with his announcement for the Tbt tournament having the NBA as a potential option it wouldn't surprise me to see him declare next year

I thought he would go pro boy 👦 I was dead 💀wrong 😑
DBG you answered the question in the first 3 seconds of the video. “He’s 5’6”😂 that’s how
Fact is you need to be abnormally tall for the nba, that’s just the facts
Not an excuse it’s a mf who’s 5’2 that made D’1 💀
@@neoak47peno82 tell that to Isaiah Thomas who is 5'9 and currently on the Charlotte Hornets. And dont forget: players like Kyrie Irving & Fred Vanvleet are like 6'0 even, but both of them are NBA champions and were making shots & breaking ankles of players who were 6'9. (And do i need to remind you of Allen Iverson, who is 5'11?)
While height is a big factor to make it in the NBA, its not the **only** factor. if that was the case, only the teams with the absolute tallest players would *always* win all the time. its about knowing HOW to use your height to your advantage. Julian stupidly thought he could just drive the ball straight into 7-foot players & he wondered why he always got blocked. Julian had no playmaking skills or IQ, and he was too selfish. He barely even passed the ball to teammates who were wide-open. its no wonder why no coaches wanted him as a point guard.
the odds of a 5'6 guy making it in the NBA are super low, could be possible if you're a freakish athlete though + you can play. Funny thing is Nate Robinson and Isiah Thomas are both 5'9, and they would look big compared to Julian Newman, those guys could play 1v1 with Julian Newman and it would look like a 6'2 point guard being guarded by LeBron
@@natesamadhi33 height plays the biggest role in basketball, it’s not the only factor, but it’s the biggest, of course there are going to be exceptions
One of the main issues of Julian Newman is not his height or his father… It was basically that he never learned how to be a true point guard.
Tyrone “Muggsy” Bogues was shorter than Julian Newman by standing 5’3, and he played 14 years in the NBA against some of the greatest basketball athletes of that time(The Jordan era) when the league was way more physical than it is now. Besides having good ball-handling skills, Muggsy had quickness, strength, speed, good court vision, defense, a good playmaker & scorer when needed, a high level of basketball IQ, a great passer, could run an offense, could start the break within seconds, got his players involved to score, a great teammate, leadership skills and most importantly, Point Guard IQ… Julian Newman has none of this.
Julian's father just worked him out, took him through drills, and exercise routines… but never taught him or had the knowledge of how to train Julian be a real Point Guard.
Julian Newmen is more of a “Showman”, then an actual professional basketball Point Guard. He’s more so focused on scoring and putting on a show then actually applying the skills & IQ in order to be a true point guard. I honestly feel that streetball leagues or Sports entertainment like the “Harlem Globetrotters“ will be more of a nitch for him rather than playing professional basketball.
Perfect comment
But I got to say that his height is still the main factor like if he was 6'6 but still a show man he could maybe make it to the league as a late second rounder
Will I am Musiq: Very good points. Yeah...Mugsy was a little court general. He was small in stature but everyone respected him and followed his lead as point guard. He made things happen for others, rather than being a flashy scorer himself (though his scoring ability wasn't bad either).
@@tizodd6 mugsy is also rare and played 20+ years ago and hasnt seen anyone like that since with the exception of maybe isiah thomas
@@tizodd6 Exactly.
The main issue is he's a toxic, arrogant "flashy" player with nothing but wasted movement and 0 BBIQ.
Don't let his "handles" fool you. No where near NBA level. Not even JuCo level. Dude over dribbles and often times just crosses himself up.
Totally agree head coaches hate that … the best ball handlers actually create space without over dribbling
His downfall is his attitude and play style, plus he played under his father mostly his entire life so he got all the "green light" in the team.
exactly! karma hits him back! I remember their match with jaythan bosch! this dwarf is such a douchebag that time vwey disgusting attitude. he thinks he's God now see!
He would be a tuff streetball player tho, he needs to look into that
No amount of coaching, skill or dedication can eliminate the fact that he’s 5’6”. He was never going to be drafted with that kind of frame. Not these days at least.
50 percent of the parents that coach, get in the way of the kids success. Sometimes as a parent you have to step away at a certain point.
indeed not everybody can be like Lavar
The biggest problem with 'Prodigies' is at lower lvls kids aren't built to block you. You can overpower and outskill your opponents of your a big/fast guy.That shit don't fly in the NBA everyone is strong AF big and skilled.
Horrible grammar, but i get what you are saying.
@@tom11zz884 Passive aggressive. Why mention his grammar if you can understand the content of the message.
@@tom11zz884horrible person but i get what u were tryna do
The "Bag" culture around basketball is honestly kinda toxic and in terms of video game terms a newbie-trap for any up an coming hoopers out there. It's basically the equivalent of an aspiring pitcher using the most uncomfortable baseball throw and then down the line developing severe wrist and shoulder problems.
It’s his height, if he was at least a couple inches taller he would be at bare minimum a decent d3 player. Such is life in terms of height he didn’t win in the generic lottery
It was his selfish playstyle of overdribblin, not passing until he has no more moves left and only looking for highlight reels and overall obnoxious attitude is what held him back the most, theres plenty of shorter guys that at least make it to college
His height hindered him but he just wasn’t athletic enough. guys like aquille car and chris Lykes had elite athleticism to go along with their handle and their small like Julian
How many 5’6” players are in D1 college basketball? My guess is less than 3.
main two reasons he doesn't use his speed to defend hard, also during offense he never passes the ball to his teammates, alwys shoot first.
DBG, that tweet about he's going to declare for the draft is fake, the account has
"James Harden (erectile dysfunction) is OUT Monday for game 1 vs the Heat.
Get well soon James. 🙏🕊"
pinned to their profile...
Father Should’ve had him watching tapes of Mugsy Bogues. At 5’9” Bogues filled all of the boxes. Only thing Newman can do is dribble fast in one space and his sister was cute.
@The Golden Warriors WAY MORE!! With bigger strides and actually plays defense despite his height.
Mugsy was 5’3 😭
It’s his attitude that made made him unsuccessful. He only focuses on flashy plays. He doesn’t defend. He doesn’t pass. He’s short. All ingredients for a disastrous stint in basketball.
xD U described The Professor perfectly xD
For me is his arrogance. If im a college or pro team, i wouldn't want this guy on my team. Dude is a joke
I mean LeMelo had a huge attitude too. Difference is Melo is good.
@@seanbailey8545 talent trumps all. My point is this guy really isn't good outside dribbling the ball. Then add all the other negative crap about him.
This is the reasons:
He was good against players when he was 10-13 cause everyone was either his height or around his height. Once the boys started growing from 14-17 is when his downfall came and his game never changed once from 10-17. He stayed under 5’6 while everyone else grew to 6’0+ against him. He couldn’t keep up once everyone else grew and grew their game so he started slipping after 13 years old.
💯
Many people will say it's his height and I disagree because of guess like Nate Robinson, Spud Webb, Isaiah Thomas, etc. His attitude toward the game is crap. He's not focused on constantly improving his game, just whatever looks good and whatever makes his handles better. Every time he touches the ball, he's a cancer. His dad probably pampers him after every single loss.
Its called a double negative, he's too short and he has a bad attitude. Typically when you're too short you have to overcompensate in other areas, he doesn't have any intangibles he could overcompensate with. So no dice.
Those guys are short but they have freakish athleticism to the point where they can dunk. Kevin isn't athletic enough to play in the NBA
"He's 5 Foot 6"
*ROLL CREDITS*
honestly Julian could’ve been a great talent but like mentioned in this video countless of times, his dad didn’t show him any discipline to become a great player.
Played a lot of street ball it's rough and helps you build discipline and confidence
Lemaun Tory: You hit the nail on the head. Everyone keeps saying "height", but the fact of the matter is there have been short players who made it (Mugsy and Spud Webb come to mind). But they wanted it bad. This dude clearly didn't want it bad enough to make the sacrifices necessary to compensate for the lack of height.
He never had a chance. He's too small and can't defend. He was good on a local level against regular competition, but not against any real competition. Let's face it, he couldn't never compete with a 6' point guard that can handle and defend. He should have tried D3 hoops, he could probably play there.
Been bingewatching all the old julian newman vids from the bball daily channel. ik this is just a re-upload, i just thought it was funny. Love these typa vids, keep up the great work 💚

If he worked on his athleticism as much as his handle he could of atleast made it to college somewhere
You can’t dribble your way into the NBA. That’s all he did just stand at the top of the key and dribble really fast. He’s a supersonic hamster dribbling to nowhere.
To me why he did not make it was not his height but his mindset and his training.
His height is still a factor even tho I agree with we've only seen 3 guys around his height reach the league which is very rare
He never adapted to different situations, regardless of what disadvantages he had
His dad let him do literally anything regardless of whether it was bad or not. He still hasn’t realized that he has disadvantages.
@@2020mademeagamermaybe he does, but his ego doesn't let him face it
Bro is literally a more professional version of Gio Wise
😂
Julian Newman's upbringing makes the Balls look like family matters. We got a whole generation of hoopers whos parents are putting them in positions to fail.
He isn't an NBA-level player. Just no. One of his games in Prodigy was against IMG where both Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (OKC) and Josh Green (DAL) were also playing. Guy got totally outclassed by players who are in the NBA today so saying that he's at that level is a huge stretch.
You say he has a "bag"? Like what? What is in his bag? Serious question
0:44 thats just a troll account. notice how it says TheHooopCentral
You are correct. Tbf would make more sense for him to declare anyway, it's a no lose situation for him since he's not playing in college
He’s not even 5’6 . Saw him playing in Venice Beach. He’s a good 5’3-5’4
I'm not sure height is the entire reason... guys like Chris Lykes, Aquille Carr, Darnell Rogers at least played college ball. Julian is nowhere close to playing college
Those guys could actually play ball.
Julian Newman cannot he can’t shoot, can’t defend, can’t and won’t pass, can’t grab boards, can’t lead, and has a bad attitude to boot.
Basically has all the traits no coach would ever want lol
Lykes was nice at his time at U. He was decent role player at Arkansas
Aquille carr was stupid crazy scorer
He could play d 3 I know some horrible players playing d 3

Winning the genetic lottery as a man puts you SOOOOO far ahead just from BIRTH.
Being under 5'10 in America is playing life on Expert mode.
Almost every major sport.. height is needed.
NHL...NBA...NFL.
Even just regular life. The average CEO is 6ft. Security guards 6ft plus. Leading men in movies are 6ft plus. 90% of all comic heros are 6ft plus. WOLVERINE is 5'3 but played by Hugh Jackman who is 6'3.
I feel for all my short men.
His father should've steered julian to soccer
I agree and I think things only get tough below 5'10." People online obsess over 6'0," but as long as you blend in with other men, you're fine (i.e., be 5'10" at least). I disagree with the movie part though. Wolverine was beautified in film for sure. On the other hand, Robert Downey jr is 5'8" and Tony Stark is well above 6'0." Peter Parker is like 5'10" and Tom Holland is 5'6" at best. Mark Ruffalo is much shorter than Bruce Banner. I'd say most leading actors are around average height, and their heights listed online are inflated also. Brad Pitt, Johny Depp, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey jr, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Zack Efron, James Franco, Joaquin Phoenix, Tom Hardy, Jake Gyllenhaal. That's just off the top of my head. There's way more very famous leading men in the 5'8"- 5'11" range than above 6'0." Plenty of dead ones too like Marlon Brando.
dbg falling for a fake HoopCentral account saying he declared for the draft🤣🤣🤣
i don’t know who’s copying who with the thumbnail format, you or SunnyV2.
Great video but my dude were you wolfing down a sandwich or something? 😂
the irony behind all this is that his dad was the one preventing Julian from being the best person he can be.
DBG stretched out a 5 second video to over 10 minutes. First five seconds answered the whole question.
Those hard workouts do not help you in any way possible and they can actually make you worse if your running a iso play people who do those drills will always say in the same spot if want to get better handles go outside and just think about new moves you can use on the court
Noone's gonna draft a 5'6" scorer. Its that simple.
Bro are you eating while you're narrating. My God lol
He's 5'6". No playmaking, no defense, and he's un-coachable. And the only one that he listens to is his dad. People are delusional IF there is anyone who believes that he is at least D1 quality. Lol.
5’6 is generous 😂😂😂.
hes 5'5 in shoes max.
@@ry_an. so possibly 5’4?
@@tgraha21 I'm 5'4 😳 at 14
@@williamgray5491 yea he stop growing
5'-4" in shoes + his man bun
i was gonna say the same thing ward 2k said. u answer ur question in the first couple of seconds of the video. 😄
Dude should try out for the Sharks. Honestly the pay isn’t so bad here if he can make it. Also the market is huge if he can capitalize on merch and stuff
Honestly should see if he can go with the Globetrotters. Would be the best fit
My son's coach told me 12 years ago, don't worry about these so-called prodigy kids. All of the kids in their age group have not developed yet. But once they do, it will even out... He was right.
Melo Ball played well in the NBL but only got about 17-20 minutes a game. This kid is lying there is no way he on their radar. Its a serious business over there. Dyson Daniels would run circles over this baffoon!
the best way I've heard him described is "a 65 overall playshot"
More like a playshot who spent all his vc on ball handling
@@kezou2112 ball handle speed acceleration and driving layup
What exactly is the drill at 1:03 trying to achieve
About once every couple months someone always does a “why Julian newman did make it” video… and it’s always the same recycled material. He didn’t “make it” because he wasn’t good enough, that’s it.
Without shoes and the bun I think he's 5'2
Tried the "Ball" approach but forgot to knock up an Amazon built woman
He should still appreciate everything basketball gave him bc it got his family money and they’re doing decent
he throw the ball at my head, and theres gonna be a riot in that gym lol
I saw that clip on facebook and that kid got the last laugh
Hellooo, Newman
Gio Wise mini doc coming soon?
“According to his fahder”😂
He’s smaller than 5’6. Pic of him standing next to Money May (5’7) he’s a few inches shorter.
the cadence of your voice is one of the most grating I have ever heard
I’ve just never seen a player whose dribble is so jerky jerk but like his dribble never looks effective, it never creates space it’s just flashy
out front child prodigies never make it....its like the kid Jashaun Agosto from Seattle who had the same hype all his life thru high school...and it fizzled out. And like both, each didn't grow past 5-8 or so and thats a bit too small unless your head and shoulders like Nate Robinson.
His career is almost like Luka Doncic
Dad recommend him and train him, playing high level since he was young
But the similarity stop there
😂😂😂
Height did not help him but it look to me like he never evolve beyond showboating street ball which can be effective in pick up game but not nba.
I see since he was a kid he has not learned how to dribble with his head up.
Aint nothing wrong doing a 9 to 5.
he did not go anywhere because is just not good. he was hyped up and that is the only reason you even heard of his name.
man should develop into an all rounder player instead, he just becomes a defensive liability and he really seeming like a very high risk to take by any team tbh. prove me wrong.
His height alone bro that’s literally the number 1 reason
He was very good as a kid. But the failure was his growth as a player, and LITERAL growth, was stunted by the bizarre, insane workouts from his father. Just let him be a kid but he didn't. As a dad you might want the best but sometimes it's fine to say "I taught him as much as I could, maybe he can learn more or I'm too biased to see other things." But ego and pride, living vicariously through your kid, etc. ultimately HURT him. I doubt his father pushed academics, classes and grades.
I dunno... I think it's SUPER sad. This guy will never get a chance to be 8 years old again. He'll never get another chance to do some things normal kids do in 5th or 6th grade even. And he didn't get to LEARN like a lot of kids. How often did he go to a library on a Saturday or evening? It's sad.
looks like a case of when your ambition outgrows your genes.
Lol, he was all hype.
His dad clearly molded him using "And 1" streetball for reference. His attitude was encouraged, when it should have been reigned in. Terrible parenting and coaching from a dad who was nothing more than a bootleg version of Lavar Ball.
5’6 Could go D2, Juco, or D3. At that height you have to show college coaches you can run an offense. You have to display high basketball IQ. Which wasn’t develop
His father thought he was going to be the next earl woods.
this video couldve been wrapped up in the first 2 seconds
he's 5'5 IN SHOES
end the video
😭😭😭😭
lol 🤣😆😆
Julian Newman should play street ball like the professor
hello fellow Irish person!
He’s not good enough on top of being too short. It’s that simple
If he worked on his shooting instead of hsi dribbling maybe he would have made it to at least college even if he is just 5'6.
I wouldn’t even pick him up at the ymca
a decent future vid idea could be the fall of NickTheBullsFan. Bro went from a decent sized 2k channel in the mid 2010's (and made a commercial I think) to having a 24 hour waffle making stream last year. His personality completely changed and I think he must have stopped taking some medication.
He should've tried out for a local junior college.. I mean, start there first
not watching this video any further.
did you really just quote @TheHooopCentral? (not to be mistaken for @TheHoopCentral)
this isn't even about fact checking no more, this was just an added point to hate on julian newman. i'm not a fan of him or anything, didn't know who he was till lamelo got drafted, but god damn son do better!
If only Julian’s height matched his attitude
He should be an influencer
Well if he has a "bag" then he must be better than Giannis! That's what NBA twitter keeps telling me anyway lmaoo
Basketball is far far more than how to dribble fancy. Looking at his game he is just not a good basketball player, never has been.
I heard Dwight Howard invited him to play in Taiwan with him.
Well he can consider playing in Greenland basketball league.
Did they ever consult an actual NBA player?
You could have literally ended this video after saying 5’6”. So 4 seconds?
He would be aight playing street ball only
Derka derka derf. Needs two hands to execute a layup
I think he maybe could have been a great hs player but he's height unfortunately wasnt in his favor.
NBA ?
I don't think even CBA wants him .
Those standstills dribbling workouts are USELESS… he “looks” fast but he couldn’t drive past any half decent defenders. Also, he still have a shooting from like a middle schooler.
