Rudy Gobert, Jarret Sllen and Clint Capela are pick and roll bigs. They hardly ever post up. Post up bigs are actually making a comback. Jokic, Embiid, Sabonis, Sengun all of these guys play in the post quite frequently and are very effective.
Bro did NOT just call Jokic a back to the basket big. Half of his shots are pull-up middies and threes. There really isn't any real back to the basket bigs. Some "power forwards" (quotes because they be those guys who play PF and be 6'8) have that back to the basket mentality (don't ask for names cuz I don't know any of them, I just seen them n highlights), but no centers in today's NBA come to mind when I think of back to the basket bigs
Its not an archetype of only the stars do it. When role players start being specialized in the post again we are talking. I think it died with Jahlil Okafor
@@SiccazHD There aren't many role players who specialize in one on one scoring in general. I'd say the best you would get, Even historically, is a third option with significant post skill. We have a few of those guys, Vucevic, Valanciunas, Ayton (though people like to laugh at him, this is one of his main strengths), Nurkic
Stockton too. The guy was indeed a pass first guy, but was an excellent scorer when he had to, including from 3 and was an excellent defender. Nowadays he would've filled a similar role to a Chris Paul. While Nash and Parker were also good scorers from all ranges (even if they weren't great defenders)
I know you didn't just call Clint Capela a back to basket big. Dude has absolutely no post moves, no touch around the rim. Misses bunnies all the time. All he does well is rebound.
Darius Garland, Jalen brunson, hell Mike Conley is still in the league all this time later and he is only bout 6 foot 6 1 and anyway their have never been that many small guards in the league at one time
Eh, Stockton was a pretty good bucket-getter when he had to (plus an excellent defender to boot), it's just that Jerry Sloan's system asked him to set his teammates first and foremost and since 1. He was elite at finding the open teammate and 2. He had an elite finisher in Karl Malone, he didn't have to score as much. But he could take over scoring duties without much of a problem, like, for example, game 6 of the 96-97 Western Conference finals where he cooked the Hakeem/Barkley/Drexler Rockets in the fourth quarter (including the game-winning dagger) almost by himself.
I'd say another arcetype that will dissapear is like a HOF defense, like the 2004 Pistons, because the offense in the NBA is ever increasing and the defense is getting stagant, and maybe may decline in the future.
I would also say the inside the arc demons (Demar Derozan playstyle). I say this because coaches and owners now look down in them because of analytics and stuff. I dont think Derozan is going to get signed on a contender unless he takes something like a paycut or something along those lines.
While the midrange shot has gotten way less valuable, it hasn’t died yet, and it is absolutely a great skill to have in this current age. Think about all the elite mid range scorers on recent championships teams. Jokic, Murray, Middleton, Kawhi, KD, Kyrie. Most of the recent champions rely heavily on midrange scorers when offense gets stagnant. Being able to get a reliable two points without have to create offense is extremely valuable. The difference between those guys and DeMar is that they are all also great shooters, while DeMar isn’t. The midrange shot gets increasingly less valuable if the scorer isn’t reliable from deep, it makes it harder to get to your spots and it takes away the possibility to get to the rim. Fortunately DeMar is also a great passer for his size, which is another way to create spacing and allow yourself more room to score, so I do actually think there is a world where he can contribute to a championship level team.
Jarred Vanderbilt is one of the last wing sized players that got no offensive bag at all 💀 Killian Hayes & Josh Giddey are some of the last playmakers that can’t really score much either but Hayes got released soo that says it all
@@______yawn6419 that’s 4 guys out of 400 in the league. The only way small guards can stay in the league nowadays is if they’re an all-NBA talent or they’re relegated to backup roles like McConnell
@@donnyg9993 but that's always been the rate within the NBA in recent years tho. the laegue has always been dominated by larger players so any player 6ft2 and under is going to have to be a talent. ive given you 6 players that are 6ft2 or under and that's excluding people like CP3, kyrie or tyrese maxey the point is these naming all these player can't be the exception it just means his point is wrong
@@______yawn6419 you named exclusively all stars, which is my point. You can’t be an average NBA player below 6 foot 3. And now that we’re seeing taller guards like Cade who can do all the PG duties while being more versatile on defense, smaller guards are gonna have an even harder time finding a place in the league
another dead archetype is the tough shot taking/high volume scoring guards(kobe, tmac, ai) entertaining asl but the spacing of today allows for smoother offense and easier looks compared to dead ball era.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, James Harden, Devin Booker, Steph Curry (maybe), Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, Jamal Murray, Anthony Edwards, and Damian Lillard are all players that self-create shots at a high volume. Some of them create more from 3 than mid range, but overall these are all players like that.
I feel like nobody dunks in-game like Vince Carter anymore. Every dunk now is just posters. Nobody jumps super high and do some creative powerful dunks. It feels like every dunks now is super basic compared to Vince's era.
The reason that small players are no longer going to be seen in the NBA is because 20 to 30 years ago small players were the ones with the skill, and big players had the muscle. But now everybody, regardless of size, is expected to be able to pass, handle and of course shoot like the small guards of yesteryear. So if everybody is equally skilled, size wins. It's also about defense. If you can't guard pretty much any position from 1 through to 4, if not all 5, then you're a liability on defense. Basically, the smallest person on a team now, ideally would be someone like Jalen Williams, Mikal Bridges, Jayson Tatum etc you need to be be at least 6'6" and have a 7' wingspan, be fast on your feet and be able to jump. Anything that's short, fat, slow, can't jump, can't shoot is gone.
bro only likes offense tf 😂😂 said he don’t wanna see defense/passing/rebounds this the problem with the modern league 😂 need defense and shit :/ video funny asl tho ❤
I don’t think he said that I think he was saying don’t be a one trick pony and the nba right now u need a least a decent jumper to go along with great defense
Yeah I rok wit Bros channel but when it comes to hoop he's another one of these young dudes who doesn't care about defense, hustle, heart the sh!t that wins games all he cares about is "having a bag"
Whatever flaws Rodman had scoring, he more than made it up with his offensive rebounder. Plus, he was a decent passer from the post. As long as the other 4 guys weren't trash scorers, you could easily get by.
@tiktokformenofculture9753 Sure, sure. But given that the rim is still the most prized scoring area, Rodman's defense would still be extremely valuable. Plus, that increase in 3-point attemps means adds rebounding opportunities for someone like the Worm, who, also, happened to be a guy who could defend all five positions at a high level. Rodman would be super valuable today.
The NBA is a cycle. And undervalued skill in the previous era will pop up again in the future. As people gravitate towards tendencies, the best will take what people don't value and make that their strength.
He also was very inefficient scoring and relied a lot on high volume (plus, he was a mediocre defender at best). While he could still easily thrive nowadays, he would still need to evolve his game a bit to remain a superstar.
The fact no one wants defense only guys is part of the reason the offense has exploded, its like the entire league just ignored, then forgot there was a whole other half of the game. Its made the game way too one sided, and it feels incomplete watching it
Guys like Jarred Vanderbilt (defensive guy with no bag lol) and Tyus Jones (true PG) are still in the league, and yeah, you gotta be more versatile in today's league, but they're good enough at what they do that they still impact the game heavily like Vando singlehandedly turning the Lakers into an elite defense and Tyus leading the league in assists/TO ratio for like 6 years and making the Grizzlies look dangerous without Ja, then they still have a place in the league. I think back-to-the-basket bigs could still have a place in the league, but the problem is that most (non-star) guys with good post moves today are defensive liabilities like Boban, or just suck at other skills, like Jahlil Okafor. Imagine a guy like Steven Adams with a post game, maybe he won't be the #1 option in today's league anymore, but he sure as well would be welcome as a #2 or #3. Jarrett Allen is probably the closest to this archetype tbh.
The point about middies being beautiful is so true, and I don’t even know why. Like middies aren’t as flashy as dunks or as impressive as a deep 3, but it feels so good to watch one. I remember just watching mj highlights just to see them.
@@artrimiks I don’t think that is quite accurate. The midrange is the dumbest shot to take statistically no matter how good you are at it, it always makes more sense to drive for a layup or step back into a three. Superstars just have more leeway in their shot selection. They don’t have to worry about getting benched if they take too many middies, and they take more shots than other players
@@duubiousdisc The midrange shot isn’t a dumb shot. the “long 2” is the dumbest shot because of the difficulty of shot vs return. Because why not step a foot back and nail a 3? defenses today know to protect the paint and to run shooters off the 3. todays stars feast off that open middle area. Every single superstar in todays game has a very capable midrange game. Stars get that leeway because of how skilled they are scoring at all 3 levels.
@@jmgonzales7701 Its in the video as someone who has no basketball skills but a lot of hustle. Its one of those types where you are an athlete of another sport that is playing basketball for whatever reason. And since you don't have any basketball skills you just do your best on defense. And I guess the most common sport to meet people like this is football. So that's probably why it's named the football archetype.
Any midrange shooter builds. I got hyped whenever I used to see a team that had a good midrange shooter since they also tended to be a 3pt threat, the defense would spread thin trying to cover inside the 3pt line and on the perimeter. I could be wrong though.
A youngin made this video you should talk about how men in the 90s were just different. DJ Burns is killing it in college basketball right now because he’s backing dudes into the paint and they can’t stop him. After watching how effective it was I could only imagine how Shaq would average 50 points no free throws in today’s world of basketball.
Another archetype you missed would be the pure sharpshooter aka guys who can only shoot and do nothing else. Guys like Joe Harris, Davis Bertans, Buddy Hield are fading away
You forgot the #1 dead archetype: the non-3pt shooting, back to the basket, Power Forward. The Carlos Boozers, Zach Randolphs, Elton Brands of the World.
You should have added the Kobe architype to the list just to piss people off. Guy who dominates the ball, shoots 42% from the field almost all 2's, going for 30 every game like Iverson, trying to be MJ replacement as teams were shooting for.
@@levidezern3190 lol no Jordan had a very high 2 point percentage compared to kobe. Kobe might have been a better shooter overall, which sounds like a contradiction. The reality is that Jordan had a 48 vertical with a strange release. He released at top of his jump meaning blocking Kareem was easier than getting a block on Jordan at midrange. Jordan was essentially just shooting in a practice field since none of the defenders were doing anything.
Tbh I still don’t get why old school big men aren’t viable. A Shaq dunk is a lot more reliable than a 3, there’s basically a zero percent chance that he misses.
I think, after the archetypes that you mentioned in the video, and it pains me to say it, but the next domino to fall is gonna be guards at the 2 who have NO defense to their game. I've been in denial about this for a while as some of these players are my favorite players on the court to watch, but you made a solid point when you essentially said that 7(ish) footers who have a decent handle, are competant facilitators, & can score the basketball at all 3 levels (while still retaining the rim protection and rebounding skills expected of bigs at the 5) are now becoming the norm as opposed to the exception. It blew my mind that a guy like Zach Lavine, who, due to his speed and range, is an offensive threat the moment he passes ½ court. Zach is a walking bucket. With that quick first step and his ability to damn near jump outta the gym, he pretty much has the ability to score at will. The one aspect of his game that is currently deficient is his defense, or lack thereof. Now, personally, I think a guy who is as athletically gifted as Zach, who has demonstrated a willingness to put in substantial work during the off-season, can develop defensively if he makes the decision to do so. At 6'5" or 6'6", Zach has the size to pair with his elite athleticism and is still on the right side of 30. For those reasons, I believe he can still add defense to his game should he make the decision to put in the work. The same cannot be said for ALL players that fall into the "offense only" category. Guys like Trae Young, who is listed at 6'1" and 161lbs, but who realistically looks to be closer to 5'11"...he doesn't have that size or elite athleticism to fall back on and so he becomes a defensive liability. If Trae were to go through a tough shooting stretch of a few games, it would damn near make him unplayable during that time. What made me really sit up and take notice of this narrative, one that I've heard others kicking around for a while now, was when the Bulls made Zach Lavine 'available' in trade talks and found the market for his services underwhelming. A guy who can give u 30, night in and night out, had no market.That is what makes me wonder if perhaps the pundits are correct about the offense only shooting guards going the way of the dodo bird. Thoughts?
The problem for short guys is that they have no margin for error. If they get injured and it slows down their game even a little, they're pretty much cooked. CP3 is pretty much the only short guy with an injury history that bucks this trend. Even still, he doesn't put up crazy points.
Thing is if prime Shaq was playing today no one would really try to guard him because it don’t matter what you do he’s gonna catch a body either in the paint or with a lob
The first "big" PG I remember was Tyreke Evans. He was 6'6 225 with a sick handle, he was ahead of his time. The world wasn't ready for big PGs yet, they tried to change his game and put him off ball and it killed his career.
@@kalibkukus8888 I'm talking more about this generation of guards. Magic is an anomaly, we don't count him lmao. True freak of nature on and off the court.
I feel like power forwards that could drive to the basket, and shoot from mid range but rarely from three point line is getting pretty old (guys like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett etc.) also the 2 way slashers that don't really shoot, like Westbrook
@@Michael-h3k3x oh yeah definitely, it’s harder than ever to get away with it. If you don’t have freakish athleticism like those guys then you definitely won’t start

Football archetype here to represent 🤣
What is football archetype
@@jmgonzales7701 Its in the video as someone who has no basketball skills but a lot of hustle.
Its one of those types where you are an athlete of another sport that is playing basketball for whatever reason. And since you don't have any basketball skills you just do your best on defense. And I guess the most common sport to meet people like this is football. So that's probably why it's named the football archetype.
0:23 did bro just say burnt at the stock 🤣
brunson lowkey still carrying the small guard archetype
Any midrange shooter builds. I got hyped whenever I used to see a team that had a good midrange shooter since they also tended to be a 3pt threat, the defense would spread thin trying to cover inside the 3pt line and on the perimeter. I could be wrong though.
Love you treyyy❤️
A youngin made this video you should talk about how men in the 90s were just different. DJ Burns is killing it in college basketball right now because he’s backing dudes into the paint and they can’t stop him. After watching how effective it was I could only imagine how Shaq would average 50 points no free throws in today’s world of basketball.
A French Montana concert for the worst date
This video was swagged out. Subbed
Going back to the crib to watch Gobert highlights
The NBA is setting up the WNBA to be more competitive and fan friendly.
This UA-camr is celebrating the demise of his favorite sport.
The mid range assailant.
Jokic literally is a white version of Shaq with great vision and he don’t brick free throws and can make a couple 3s when needed
I'd say he's the white Tim Duncan
bro get this guy to 100k subs
The commentary is f’n golden. lol. Hilarious
Another archetype you missed would be the pure sharpshooter aka guys who can only shoot and do nothing else. Guys like Joe Harris, Davis Bertans, Buddy Hield are fading away
Duncan Robinson ain’t going nowhere
Nah these guys actually suit this era really well
Nah those guys will always have a spot in a league that prioritizes perimeter scoring. You can never have too many shooters to space the floor
Excellent commentary, you made solid points
Brunson and fvv short asl
Also Jacob gilyard and marquis nowell
trae young shorter than both of em
Right like a lot of guys even today in the NBA that are listed 6ft 6'1 even 6'2 really be like 5'11 or a tall 5'10
@@johndavis9321not “a lot”
You must didn’t see Nash and Parker play
please do discovering discographies wiht trippie redd he has so many hidden bangers
Nahhhhh gang had to sub after that SoundCloud shi at the end ong that shi was gas
Im lit that hustle build. Im ot makin no shot but im hustlin to get rebounds and lockin up
Shut tf up, ur not him
This didn't age well with the Wolves defense
1v1 me trey
Look at that, looks like we have another person who underestimates nba players 💀💀
This dude confused rim running bigs with back to the basket bigs
The way you put this video together 🫡
You forgot the #1 dead archetype: the non-3pt shooting, back to the basket, Power Forward. The Carlos Boozers, Zach Randolphs, Elton Brands of the World.
My bro funny AF and raps FRFR
Worst first date spot is going to a wedding
Man that herbo made me randomly start spittin at the dinner table
You should have added the Kobe architype to the list just to piss people off. Guy who dominates the ball, shoots 42% from the field almost all 2's, going for 30 every game like Iverson, trying to be MJ replacement as teams were shooting for.
Which means Kobe and JOrdan would be useless today
@@levidezern3190 lol no Jordan had a very high 2 point percentage compared to kobe.
Kobe might have been a better shooter overall, which sounds like a contradiction. The reality is that Jordan had a 48 vertical with a strange release. He released at top of his jump meaning blocking Kareem was easier than getting a block on Jordan at midrange. Jordan was essentially just shooting in a practice field since none of the defenders were doing anything.
This makes CP3’s 19 yr career even more impressive.
“Shit we just got a pair” got me dying 4:55
I'm too old for this. Gave it a chance but it is not for me.
Tbh I still don’t get why old school big men aren’t viable. A Shaq dunk is a lot more reliable than a 3, there’s basically a zero percent chance that he misses.
Calling Tony Parker a pure PG is egregious. The man barely gave you 5 assists, and all he do is shoot mid range 😂
You missed 1. the athletic forward that only drive, dunk, and catch lobs. 2.The straight Iso guard.
You Shitted On The Thompson Twins They Got Potential To Be Scorers & Playmakers While Being Big Guards 🤣
this aged well
Fredd Vanfleet still getting 20+
Tony Parker and Nash were dangerous offensive scorers.
YB DROPPED!!🔥🔥🔥
Celtics just traded their defense only guy that was the “heart and soul of the team” and they got instantly better
We've never seen "the likes" of Dennis Rodman. Only Dennis Rodman.
Kenneth Faried was the first to go
This video hard 😂 had to sub
Tony Parker?? This man Know that Tony Parker lead the league for a whole season in PIP as a point guard??
I think, after the archetypes that you mentioned in the video, and it pains me to say it, but the next domino to fall is gonna be guards at the 2 who have NO defense to their game. I've been in denial about this for a while as some of these players are my favorite players on the court to watch, but you made a solid point when you essentially said that 7(ish) footers who have a decent handle, are competant facilitators, & can score the basketball at all 3 levels (while still retaining the rim protection and rebounding skills expected of bigs at the 5) are now becoming the norm as opposed to the exception. It blew my mind that a guy like Zach Lavine, who, due to his speed and range, is an offensive threat the moment he passes ½ court. Zach is a walking bucket. With that quick first step and his ability to damn near jump outta the gym, he pretty much has the ability to score at will. The one aspect of his game that is currently deficient is his defense, or lack thereof. Now, personally, I think a guy who is as athletically gifted as Zach, who has demonstrated a willingness to put in substantial work during the off-season, can develop defensively if he makes the decision to do so. At 6'5" or 6'6", Zach has the size to pair with his elite athleticism and is still on the right side of 30. For those reasons, I believe he can still add defense to his game should he make the decision to put in the work. The same cannot be said for ALL players that fall into the "offense only" category. Guys like Trae Young, who is listed at 6'1" and 161lbs, but who realistically looks to be closer to 5'11"...he doesn't have that size or elite athleticism to fall back on and so he becomes a defensive liability. If Trae were to go through a tough shooting stretch of a few games, it would damn near make him unplayable during that time. What made me really sit up and take notice of this narrative, one that I've heard others kicking around for a while now, was when the Bulls made Zach Lavine 'available' in trade talks and found the market for his services underwhelming. A guy who can give u 30, night in and night out, had no market.That is what makes me wonder if perhaps the pundits are correct about the offense only shooting guards going the way of the dodo bird. Thoughts?
The problem for short guys is that they have no margin for error. If they get injured and it slows down their game even a little, they're pretty much cooked. CP3 is pretty much the only short guy with an injury history that bucks this trend. Even still, he doesn't put up crazy points.
Yes because they need athleticism and cant defend
Very entertaining 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Keep up the great work !!!!!
Thing is if prime Shaq was playing today no one would really try to guard him because it don’t matter what you do he’s gonna catch a body either in the paint or with a lob
Bro yo commentary hilarious 😂
Lonzo Ball has that playmaker pass first build. But idk if hes even gonna play again
IT w the suns rest of season 3w later 😂
Steve Nash?
One of the greatest shooters of all time wouldn't make it in the league?
HUH?????
The first "big" PG I remember was Tyreke Evans. He was 6'6 225 with a sick handle, he was ahead of his time. The world wasn't ready for big PGs yet, they tried to change his game and put him off ball and it killed his career.
What do you mean we had Magic in the 80s
@@kalibkukus8888 I'm talking more about this generation of guards. Magic is an anomaly, we don't count him lmao. True freak of nature on and off the court.
@@rose4mvp2012 ok yeah I get you
I feel like power forwards that could drive to the basket, and shoot from mid range but rarely from three point line is getting pretty old (guys like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett etc.) also the 2 way slashers that don't really shoot, like Westbrook
The westbrook archetype is fat from extinct, Ja Morant, Fox, and Scoot are all fit a similar style
yeah but most of those guys aren't really 10 players rn, I mean your are right but most PGs in the league usally shoot threes now @@NBATheory
@@Michael-h3k3x oh yeah definitely, it’s harder than ever to get away with it. If you don’t have freakish athleticism like those guys then you definitely won’t start
It’s 6 mins in…. I subscribed… had two after he showed the Thompson twins
IT coming back right after this is crazy bro thought it was personal
I know he doesn’t fit the mold so much as a pure playmaker but Joker could deff be considered one of the elite playmakers of all time
Can you do worst/best archetypes?
If we talkin about pass first guys, my boy Mike Conley needs a shout out
Lol he described the magic they have tall players and they have guards that can't shoot like fultz AB and Jalen is getting better but he's iffy sometimes
