Does Trayce Jackson-Davis have all-star potential?

"TJD put the whole of France in the basket!" Fitz, we love you!! 👍👏😂😂

This dude is proof that having a full college career combined with a strong organization - can create magic. TJD has been stellar

that dunk on Wemby was Impressive

That’s dope how his dad played for the warriors and was number 32 now his sons doing the same.

I’m so happy he’s getting the recognition he deserves. He is a genuine stud. Coming from an IU fan

Couple corrections/additions from a big Hoosiers fan: Something that happens sometimes in the second round and happened with trayce, is when you get past pick like 35, the 2nd round pick contracts are usually non guaranteed, and the Warriors called Trayce and told him they'd trade into the draft to take him and give him a guaranteed deal. So when you get that promise from a team, you have your agent spread the word for others teams not to draft you. The pacers in their post draft presser alluded to the fact that they probably would've taken trayce in the 40s had they not been told not to. Indiana's best insider journalist was at trayce's draft party and was relaying all of this to us fans in real time, and it played out exactly the way we were told it was about to. Trayce likely goes around 40 overall otherwise. Also, trayce is really good, but golden state couldn't be a more perfect situation for him, their whole roster can shoot which takes that pressure off of him, they value basketball iq and passing extremely highly, and they have a massive need for a vertical threat and rim protector. We were all ecstatic when we found out gsw was his landing spot, we would not be talking about trayce as a massive steal this way if he hadn't gone to golden state, he'd be misused and underappreciated on 90% of teams. And then a small thing, trayce is a pure 5, he's pretty much never played the 4 anywhere in his career.

As mediocre and inconsistent as we've been for most of this season it's been truly heartening to see TJD and Podz thrive so quickly in addition to JK taking the massive leap we've been hoping for. and becoming a starter. With Moody still working hard and IMO proving that he deserves more minutes every time he plays and Quinones also impressing despite limited opportunities the future is very bright for Golden State. Go Dubs!

this guy can actually give Warriors a hope for a ring!

Dale Davis is his father?! No wonder this kid is special. NBA royalty right there!

1:52 numbers are hard.

Jackson-Davis great topic Hoop Reports this was so necessary 💯 thank you

That TJD Tweet sounds like the Steph statement in 2021 after being eliminated from contention “y’all better watch out next year”

They found a Tim Duncan type and just let him go to the Warriors…I’m good with this arrangement! 🎉🎉

Before 2023 draft I watched most of the candidates and besides the unanimously recognized top 10, I most appreciated GG Jackson, Podziemski, TJD, Kobe Brown, Ben Shepard, Hunter Tyson, Colby Jones, T. Vukcevic, etc. GSW got 2 great acquisitions, well done! (Mavs fan).

The answer to your question about Pods becoming Pods. The lazer-sharp bounce pass from mid-court to a streaking TJD who slammed it home. Both studs!

Hoosier Nation watching him grow into the League.

He was drafted solo, mainly because he was a senior. And that’s a big problem with the draft we keep trying to draft younger based off potential instead of who can actually play. .

Wow you actually went a whole video without using the kawaii laugh sound byte. I'm proud of you lol.

keep up the good work, lets go warriors!!!!

Remember his dad Dale was a monster around the basket, along with Antonio, no easy layups for opponents when they both on the floor. Those 90s pacers with rik smits, reggie, jalen rose, travis best were awesome coached by Larry Bird

HoopReports is the best NBA channel, also 3d comment

Teams try to draft "star potential" when a solid role player would be much more impactful than a likely bust

Teams draft based on potential, not necessarily performance.

Kudos to TDJ for staying in college for the 4 years. I love to hear his interviews. He’s polite, respectful, and is learning from the best in the NBA today. He was meant to be a Warrior! Great video, as always.

Nice Video Dude.. I Really Understand Now, Why TJD Never Shot 3 Points And All About Him, A Solid Defense Player.

Kudos for him yesterday vs NYK 💪💪💪

There's 1 reason and 1 reason only why TJD was drafted higher, because he doesn't shoot 3's. Weird, the modern NBA believes that any and all players must shoot the 3, however, Curry and the Warriors who created the modern NBA don't. lol

Idk what’s crazier, TJD being drafted so low or the fact Kerr was giving Corey Joseph minutes instead of TJD

Let's go TJD

I was at the Bucks game and the pop when TJD dunked was crazy i am starting to love him more and more

Greta vid! 🔥

He reminds me a little of my favorite Warrior: Clifford "Johann" Ray. Man, I loved him....and his beret...

Humble young man

I think the NBA should make a Most-unexpected Player. This is different from MIP because no one saw TJD doing this.

Main reasons he fell: Draft age Size Not able to stretch the floor Perceived low ceiling Main reasons why we picked him: My tweet telling them to trade into the 2nd round(jk) High floor guy Day 1 contributor despite Kerr’s hesitation to play him Good passing Rim running threat Decent rim protection High BBall IQ

This kid is a 24-carat gold 🥇found and bought by Warriors, so lucky👍🤣a proven star in the making🌟⛹🏿‍♂️

This channel is always in real talk

1:55 dyslexia is messing with you xD

He reminds me of Bam Adebayo which makes me glad the Warriors got him. He will do great in the future and we should never trade or get rid of him ever at all!

It's always you have people who judge a book by its cover before they see what the potential of a person is

Also. Mike Dunleavy has a connection with TJD family and representation. So once he slipped the 2nd round TJD peoples and Mike D made it known if you draft him he would head overseas, which scared some teams off. So they used some effective back door channels as well. And I'm NOT MAD AT ALL that my dubs got him.

W video

Sometimes it’s not being overlooked , simply it was just where he was and is supposed to be . As they say it was written so he is where he is supposed to be and simply if he was overlooked thank u for this scouts . And dunleavy they picked u as a warrior and I thought maybe not at that pick but hey u did a hell of a job on this move

This man never fails to hype up the Warriors 😅😂😅😂😅😂

Seventy ONE point FOUR. 😉 Still CRAZY!

Warriors got two top 10 rookies…they struck again. 2023-TJD and Podz 2021- Kuminga and Moody

My only problem with trayce is sometimes he helps out on D to much giving the bigger guys on the floor a chance to score

Warriors know how to find gems!

Sure as hell missed him, Race Thompson and Schifino at IU this year. This was an embarrassing season. The fact Jalen Hood- Shifino was drafted before TJD, even though IU would have had zero success without him tells me these execs have a "type" and if you're not a 3 point shooter they will ignore you. I can't imagine the amount of potential superstar bigs that have been passed up because of the analytics cult that all the GM's seem to be in. Steve Kerr knew from draft night he had stolen the draft. That's even funnier because all the other GM's are trying to copy GS's and Houstons former success with 3 point shooters.

Trayce is our best big man💯

Warriors didnt need a 3pt shooter. Man's found his home for sure, he fit so well with what the warriors needed.

If Tim Duncan came out of the draft today, he would be a 2nd round pick just cause he stayed in college for more than one year TJD hit the ground running

That’s why he was drafted 56th

Why is it baffling that he was chosen late in the draft? We already have Jokic as the poster boy for being chosen close to last but coming out on top nonetheless.

Uhhhhmmm. Pssst… TJD already had a contract before he was drafted. His agent is Mike Dunleavys brother…

TJD WHEN YOU SEE this bro!! Just know we rooting for you

The Pacers really missed out on TJD.

Other younger prospects selling on "potential" May be still in G league and out of NBA in a few years. Look at no. 20-56 picks now. Look at Wiseman. TJD 4yr college brings experience, maturity, confidence

1:54 71.4 % still first though

Because hes already 24 and doesn't have that much potential compared to other prospects. And tbh, we wont be this relevant if hes not in the Warriors. But yeah, he deserved to be a first round pick

He would be so nice on the pacers

He’s got talent for real. Curry makes people better just being on the court though.

He put the whole country of France in the basket

Steal of the draft 🔥🔥🔥💯🎯

I feel bad for Saric, he was doing so good, but these rookies are something else.

He played the five in college, but not the most traditional center. He's a PF by NBA standards, but he was IU's 'big man'

I'm so glad Steve Kerr gave him a chance, especially in the starting lineup. Once TJD & B-Podz became starters with Draymond & Wiggins, their defense skyrocketed. And when Warriors defense is great, they can be unstoppable like they were for many years. And they can all score points. Add Curry to that offense and they can be unstoppable. Make it happen Warriors! Beat the Kings. I kinda want them to play/beat the Lakers after beating the Kings. lol

Low-key, I think Looney and Dario are hating on the rookie Trayce getting more playing time, i could see it in their faces sitting next to each other on the bench when trayce let josh hart score on him in the paint, but not like they can do any better. Kerr does put some iffy lineups at some iffy times in the game, the players got to be feeling something on the bench. even curry gets benched at some weird times.

GSW doesn’t get the respect for their scouting and drafting that they deserve. Modern NBA fans are absolutely clueless.

Hey man, LOVE your content, but please, go check how to say Podz name, it's a Polish name, so its PodJemski BIG LOVE FROM EUROPE ❤

Alexander City, AL

Scouting NBA talent ain’t easy, that’s for sure.

I like TJD but I wish they would’ve kept PBJ (Patrick Baldwin Jr). I think he would’ve proved to be an asset.

NBA scouts: 6’9 too short we need a 6’10 and above only

The Warriors could be facing the Monstars with the aliens stealing all their powers and a 6 man team and this guy would convince you the Warriors could win 😂

Indiana guy here. Yes, I hope we do regret it. Sheppard is fantastic and Walker is looking good, too, but I can't believe the Pacers snubbed TJD like that. His dad was part of THE most iconic Pacers (NBA) lineup. It's great to see him out there making himself known. Take care of our boy.

The Warriors are good at development.

Easy answer ,tjd agent in mike Dunleavy family member, made a deal with him to take him in the second round.

TJD looks like tracy mcgrady 😂

sometimes it sounds like your voice mod glitches out mate. 5:00 is the mark

Bro its not about which team took him at what round... Its the just the market of GSW is so huge. That they make it seem like any players is a breakout player. Too much media on that team. Hes exactly where he should have been picked lol. Cant do much more then pick and roll.

I mean yea, imo he’s gonna be on Aaron Gordon level but 50 picks later lol

Nice development after the "Wiseman non-era."

U said the figures backwards, it's 71.4% #strengthinnumbers

U meant 71.4 % instead of 74.1%

If the warriors won the chip last season, they wouldn't have gotten Podz and TJD

Basically he's a more athletic version of his old man. Sounds like the Warriors can start shopping around Draymond Green (and the drama that comes with him) because they've got a young guy who's ready to take over for him.

sometimes I remember you are a warriors fan haha

The audio shift kind of threw me off.

He was born in 2000 and ppl think he’s past his prime? Dude I was born in 97 im not not even 30 yet 😂 y’all tripping

Thats Niko Omilana in disguise

All rookies look good when they play the GSW system.

Damn HR , I went to the game last night and TJD got cooked by LeBron, BUT he also forced him to take a step back instead of getting Posterized 🤫 how you feel about that last 147 turning into 19 minutes? Crypto was livid 😅

NBA scouts :👨‍🦯 warriors coaching and development staff 💪💪

Question: do you think TJD would be as successful if the Wizards, Charlotte or the Knicks drafted him? I think Trace is in the best coached team in the league

Tdj will be even better if he develop a jumpshot team leave him open for jump shots because they know he not gonna shoot the ball💯no 3pt I’m talking bout the post and mem range

Same as kuminga Tjd overshines or got unlocked cause of cp3

TJD < Lively

Hes what Wiseman was supposed to be for the Warriors
