Those names. :facepalm
If Agosto can grow up to about just under 6 feet, he can become a decent NBA player.
Seventh Woods is a beast already. If he keeps it up, he can be the new Andrew Wiggins.

The little dude in the first video has decent handles and looks solid... but I have to question the level of competition. They are playing on side courts... the lines to the real court criss-cross it, so you can tell they are not playing on the main court. I feel like "real" competition, even at that young age, would play on "real" courts.
That being said, still has solid moves, particularly for someone so young. But I don't see anything eye-popping
Some people (the African-American flavored ones) shouldn't be allowed to name their kids unless it is approved by some committee. :facepalm
[QUOTE=jzek]Some people shouldn't be allowed to [B]have[/B] kids unless it is approved by some committee. :facepalm[/QUOTE]
edited where bolded.
Also this kid Jaylin Fleming is the next Lenny Cooke it seems.
He's like 4 foot 10 but against Agosto he looked lost trying to defend him.
Cant believe he was hyped as the next MJ/Lebron when Agosto was 12 years old.
:facepalm
As good as he is fundamentally, I just see him as a decent PG at most. Just doesnt look like he has the takeover effect, his also only 5'7 at 15 years old.
Seventh woods looks like a beast, probably a very good NBA player in the future.
Jashaun Agosto probably won't make the NBA, imo. If he does, he's not going to be more than a really poor man's Ty Lawson of the bench. Seventh Woods most likely will be a serviceable rotation player, but I don't see anything really special out of either of them.
Jashaun WON'T make the league and I've been saying it for years.
It's a damn shame that people like his father exist out there... psychotically pushing him to do this rather than focus on educating himself and becoming a productive member of society... chances are he's going to end up bagging groceries once he realizes he is not NBA level talent.
What he has right now is a result of an incredible amount of work put into practicing his game. That is soon going to not matter once he starts going up against insane athletes. He's not making the NBA.
His dad is trying to live vicariously through him and it's going to end up costing Jashaun a lot.

It's the John Lucas Camp, it's basically all the best 7th, 8th and 9th graders in the country that go to this camp. And they are playing on side courts because there are multiple games going on at a time.
Jashaun Agosto's father is an ass, seriously.
It's so wrong to expose your kid that way, the kid has been hearing for years about how amazing he is and how he's going to the NBA and all kind of stuff.
The kid is great but he's too short and it's not very likely that he will grew enough to even have the standard body of an NBA player.
The kid will instead have to deal with failing at the one thing that mattered and his dad is going to have to deal with it in a better way then what he dealt with all this.

It's really sad, I remember seeing these videos like 5+ years ago.
I think he is a good athlete though. He was running sub 5 minute miles at 10 years old and is a track star.
Unfortunately the most important factor regarding the NBA is size and athletisicm, not skills. Anyone can get skills, but size and elite athleticism is what really turns scouts head.

Seventh Woods athleticism and size mixed with Jashaun Agosto's fundamental skills :bowdown: :bowdown:
Meh. After Andrew Wiggins gets to the NBA, I'm hyping Harry Giles.
And I will end up being 2 for 2.

Just saw him on YouTube, he's a beast. Giles is ranked No. 2 in the class of '16 while Woods is No. 5 :eek: :eek: DeRon Davis is No. 1, but he looks pretty slow from looking at him play.
seventh woods? parents be on crack when naming
sir, what wud u want your seventh kid to be named?

Giles is a freak, if he grows dude will literally be the next KG.
But I think Malik Monk is going to surprise a lot of people, he's currently in the USA basketball program too

Interesting. You might want to read the articles written from ESPN..Link attatched. Some of yall couldn't be more wrong! Size would matter to a normal human. Jashaun Agosto, obviously is far from normal. I don't believe you can get to the level he has gotten to just being pushed by your parent. Looks like he loves the game and can go as far as he wants to go!

Jashaun Agosto, obviously is far from normal. Even with his size of 5 foot 8, he is one inch shorter than Nate Robinson & Isaiah Thomas, and he is only a freshman. Jashaun is ranked on all the major ranking sites in the top 50 Nationally even at his size. I don't believe you can get to the level he has gotten to just being pushed by your parent. Looks like he loves the game and can go as far as he wants to go!

If you follow him on Twitter @JashaunAgosto you will also find out that over 12 division I colleges have been recruiting him up to this point. From UCLA, Arizona, Gonzaga, Memphis, Oregon State, UW, Detroit, Tulsa, Penn State, Seattle U, Rice, George Mason, etc....As a freshman, that's impressive.

Jashaun has a 39 inch vertical and posted faster agility times and sprint times than any incoming rookie in the nba draft combine. Did you say elite athleticism? And he is only 15 yrs old. The link has video proof from this year!

^^^^
Doesn't Jashaun live in Seattle? You must be his dad or something since you're also from Seattle and you're defending him so much.

I'm not blaming this on you but that's not true. He ran sub 5:00 1500m which is over 100m short of a mile. His dad and other people put that out there as if he ran miles that fast but he didn't. If you are a runner you would know that 1500m time does not equal mile time.

You've got to be kidding right? How many "elite" high schoolers have we seen never make it to the NBA? How many first round draft choices are out of the league after their rookie contracts are up? Get a grip buddy. There's a long hard road to travel between the age of 15 and the NBA. If you don't know this then you're a moron. You do realize that agility tests and vertical mean nothing right? How did Kevin Duran fare at the combine? Not well. He couldn't bench 185 his vert was 33" and he was slow in the lane agility tests. Did any of that matter? No.

People act like the NBA is the only place to play basketball , Like it's NBA or bag groceries :coleman:
If the dude is good enough, he'll play somewhere and make alot of money playing. You can complain about his Dad, but the guy is doing alot more for his son than the majority of deadbeats who leech off their Son's athletic ability.

Yeah. A childhood filled with hard work is better than one filled with sorrow. This kid's dad is pushing him...and he may be missing out on the just chillaxin and playing video games with friends, etc. Or he could of had the misfortune of being born into a family with a drug using mother, and a dad that wasn't around. Kid will be fine. Eventually everyone outgrows overbearing parents, but he'll still have the skills from it. Kid could come over here to Korea where I am right now and make 25,000 a month and live an amazing life. It's def not NBA or bust. Playing basketball and making money is a dream for many people. Being smart with that money is a diff ballgame tho.

I know this isn't saying a whole lot, but Monk is probably going to be the best prospect to come out of Arkansas in long time. I've seen him play live a few times, and coaches and other people around the state feel like he's ahead of where guys like Archie Goodwin and Bobby Portis were as freshmen, and could be better than Joe Johnson.
I'd be living the ****ing life if my job was doing one of my favourite things in the world (since I can't do p0rn). Doesn't even matter if it's not in the NBA.
You can tell Malik Monk favorite player is KD his shot form is almost exactly like his plus he wears 35... Dude can ball nice jumper from everywhere on the court plus athleticism now all he has to do is keep improving and not make any dumb decision also stay healthy
Op is such a phaqqot

I was just gonna post this. You can tell KD is his favorite player. He mimics a lot of his moves. Plays just like him.
Woods is not even top 10 in his class. I swear people hype him up like he's a guaranteed star
[QUOTE=dbk123]Woods is not even top 10 in his class. I swear people hype him up like he's a guaranteed star[/QUOTE]
The problem is most of us don't get to see him play. From highlights alone I don't see how anyone could think Wiggins > Woods.
