It's because he's too small can't defend can't shoot and not strong enough..if you 6'0 in the NBA you need to be a pit bull and strong as a ox like jalen brunson Chris paul Fred van fleet and they all can hit a jump shot...people don't know how hard and rare it is for a normal size man to make it in the NBA.

Then he drops 27 72% fg in first NBA summer league game🤣

MattBeGreat loves to clickbait and is the actual casual: Sharife is a career 36% 3point shooter in the G league on 5 attempts and 84% FT shooter. He was also a G League all star and all nba 2nd team in the G league because of his offense Sharife: Career RS: 72/214 + Career Showcase from 3: 64/166 = 138/380, good for 36.3% from 3 in the career from the G League plus a great sample of 82+ free throw shooting, keep in mind, all his attempts are like stepbacks and mid rangers. Difficult shots. He’s a good shooter. If you look at the individual samples, he’s at 2021-22 Showcase: 36% on 5.8 3PA 2021-22 Regular Season: 36% on 4.4 3PA 2022-23 Showcase: 40% on 5.7 3PA 2022-23 Regular Season: 32% on 4.7 3PA In the Regular Season he is a career 90% free throw shooter, 80% Showcase. Good shooter. As for turnovers, Sharife Cooper had a 1.5 AST/TOV ratio which really isn’t even bad. He can cut down on it but he also gets you 7-8 assists per game.

he's still young , 22 years old developing well in the g league . I definitely think he has the talent to be a solid role player off the bench for a playoff team .

Oh matt u hatting on em

If you watched summer league today he had 27 8-11 shooting 2-3 66.7 %from the three line today had some good defensive possession today also Matt STFUUU

“Big nose and ugly” i dont think that’s hating sir i think that’s racism

He’s undersize, can’t shoot, and plays little to no defense , if he had a more consistent shot he would be on a roster

Yeen never lied Matt 💯

Honestly im happy i saw this video befo my freshmen games cuz people were telling me to try to play like him to advance through leagues but this video helped shed light on how he plays

I STILL BELIEVE IN HIM

You been hating on bro for years💀

Thought this was about ja wick from the thumbnail 😂😂😂😂 also, ja’s new name should be in theory sheriff morant 😂😂😂

I agree with most of the stuff you said besides the shooting aspect. I know all the non great shooting point guards are known to be freakishly athletic but look at a guy a like davion Mitchell. Mid three point shooter and hes a small guard but hes slowly starting to make a name for himself in the league.

Lmao man sharife cooper is like 5’10 they pulling a Bryce young with his height

Y’all must of really missed his first game of summer league. Just led them to a victory.

He’s hooping rn in the summer league !!

Dude should just go to Europe and get a bag. They pay millions in Spain.

Big noise was a little straight forward 😂😂😂😂

0:47 bro 😹😭

He jus drop. 27

The guards are to big strong fast for an undersized guard to get off without being able to shoot. He can’t even set up offense being that small and not being able to shoot

You can say all of these things about Scoot Henderson. 6’2, mid shooter/defender, A/TO in the G League… But he’s “athletic” even though most all-star PGs aren’t known for being hyper-athletic.

05:03 he’d be amen Thompson 😂

Thank u!! I tell ppl that it’s a difference between athletes n basketball players my best example is Giannis vs Joker..athlete vs skilled basketball player

You did sound like you was hating my man

Thumbnail looks like a mixture of Jaylen Waddle and Ja Morant.😂

Y’all got to watch more of his recent play He has good lateral quickness on defense and playmaking is top tier He’ll be good

Being 6ft tall u got to be a high level floor general with high basketball iq and highly skilled like u gotta be atleast 37 percent from 3, have a mid range game, shoot north of 85 percent from the free throw line, and u gotta be able to make others better thats how cp3 was so good and is still in the league pushing 40 at 6'1 also he could go out and average 27 if needed

Unless you're Iverson who's similar im stature, you better be a freaky athlete. Yes under 6 ft guys can make it to the NBA but you have to ne exceptional on offense and defense!

Prime IT is another good example. He's ridiculous on offense when he was with the Celtics until he got injured. His defense wasn't bad because he actually tried but his size was a hindrance when trying to block shots against taller players.

To say Sarife ain’t a great playmaker is crazy.

His career ain’t over

It’s not over

Why the nba didn’t like cooper I thought he was going be a great backup pg to starter

Damn

He’s only 22 I wouldn’t say it’s over but Sharife does need to work on his defense and gain muscle to play more physical…

This aged like milk 😂

Saying he has a big nose and ugly is actually very racist. Keep your personal racsim to your self.

Seen him play in the g league this year and the team played better when he wasn't on the court

A whole lotta hate bruh

I love how he said Steph’s shooting kinda makes up for his defense he’s a beast

That boy will be good Ash Kash

Mac McClung should be in the league period!

At least he’s putting up numbers in the G league. Lianglo Ball wasn’t even starting and people thought he was going to the NBA.

My Coach use to always tell me , REAL SHOOTERS & REAL ATHLETES come a dime-a-dozen . Learn the WHOLE game !

Just tell him take a stroll by MIAMI lol

And yet he's still here doing well in the g league. He's having easily his best season shooting 46% FG and 38% from 3 while averaging 19.4 ppg and 6.8 apg with 1.2 spg. The only reason he's not on an NBA roster is that the past 2 teams he's been with already had solid pg's. Atlanta had Tre of course, and Cleaveland already has Darius Garland and another decent pg off the bench in Craig Porter Jr.

been glizzy eating this guy for a minute ngl

I refuse to believe these people really be arguing to you about sharife cooper

If he’s making it to the league he’s the pg finisher at the league

He can come to the BSN in Puerto Rico 🤣🤣🤣

his game does translate he just goes to guard heavy teams

People forget that people like AI, Isaiah Thomas, Trae Young, Rondo and Chris Paul had amazing seasons being under 6’1. He needs to find the right fit. A Team like Phoenix, Minnesota, Washington,

Matt is right the league wants athletes not basketball players

Don’t worry Sharife is going to turn heads in the summer league …the disrespect and i bet y’all don’t even watch g league games to see how’s he developed..was leading the g league in points at one point this season …

Matt are you going to talk about the allegations in Atlanta Journal-Constitution made against University of Georgia football team and Kirby Smart 🤔

Shitting on Sharife makes Matt feel good about his own downfalls

The thing is he was drafted to the wrong team like cam riddish. Let’s b real Atlanta does not develop their talent n let tra young dominate the ball without even improving his teammates

Also it’s so stupid you compared Sharife to Mcclung. Sharife was on the all G League team and McClung was not. Sharife is clearly better

It's not over , ask pat Beverly about his fight back into the league .

You got it backwards. The NBA want skill, and they don't want athletes without skills, but they will take an skillful, non athletic player. Mac McClung is a great example, as well as Jokic on the other end of the spectrum.

It’s never over for a brick city Soulja. Orange🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾East Orange 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾Essex County Excellence .

it’s cause ash kaash don’t @ me

Damn first ash kaash left him then this. That's just rough man

here after the cavs signed him

Literally not his fault. He hasnt had the opportunity. He’s cooking in the G League. He got drafted behind Trae Young then got traded to a stacked Cavs behind Spida and Garland. He needs a chance.

This some wack shit this video .. he just snapped he really deserve a chance I know for a fact he better than Jordan McLaughlin on the twolves

your acc a hater for this one you been making the same vid every year about a undersized guard g leaguer who got drafted late second round

I gotta disagree with one part of your take and that is the part where you said the NBA doesn’t want skilled players, they want athletes. The OKC Thunder are building their young team in a way where everyone is a skilled player that can create for others and are high IQ players. But if you’re below 6’4” you’re gonna need to be an athlete too

He can't shoot period

You do realize that the average shooting from beyond the arc for a guard is 35 percent right? It’s not awful

Dude stop hating he on the summer league team 😂 terrible takes

He still threw a great lob to John Collins with the hawks.

There’s no way he’s 176 lbs, he’s like 5’11

He play for the Cavs summer league! He a be cool

He should spend some time in the G League or NBL and get more minutes to develop his game.

we’re hating on black features now? 🌚

Ash kash got him good 😂

Idk why u made this video every team he been on has good guards already like what are u seein🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

If nobody get him he’ll be a great fit with the suns being that they don’t have a real pg any more

Dude from the Joe Budden Podcast is his Uncle or something. If it weren’t for that I would have forgotten he existed.

All Matt had to say was he is a good at scoring and bad at everything else. He was over worded his take, but I understand his take

As a cavs fan I disagree. He's the future backup 3rd string.

Him leaving Auburn that early, was a bad decision for his career smh

He to good for the g league to bad for the NBA but still should be a back up on someone team

Arguing with an imaginary person is a weird format. You say your own name as much as you say the name of your video subject 🤷🏻‍♀️ But we get it, you were right…. 😂

Lol All basketball players are athletes by definition.

He just got signed 🤔👀

Bad take

This is a very weird video

Negative! He just haven’t been put in the right system.

Nah he's gonna get a chance. He just gotta execute on it.

Already knew he wasn’t gone be a nba star cause he didn’t grow

I don't think this video will age well

Bro the NBA isn't anything but small ball don't touch me 3 point contests anymore. The days of physical big men has been lost for a long time until Jokic this year made it look ligit again. It's possible that they start drifting back twords skilled big men but for a long time now big men were not really sought after. Well that's at least what all the ESPN type talking heads always say. I stopped watching the NBA after the last pistons championship because I felt like the game turned p#ssy and the whistle became part of the game way to much. I like college hoops more but I do watch sports talk shows from time to time and I always hear how the league is soft and it's small ball now. I don't think Steph Curry it Chris Paul are extremely tall guys. Small players have made it big. If you shoot the lights out than you can make it in the NBA. If your hitting shots at high % your probably going to have a spot in the league

Ya he not doing anything in Nba

Lol saying he😂 got a big nose is a insult not hating... hating has a bit of jealousy and or envy... your not jealous of his big nose. 😅

Sucks too because shooting is a art and skill meaning it can be improved. Hell lebron got years he’s shut close to 40 from three

He’s a top pg in the g league he’ll be up soon
