Can you tell us what that guy was saying about him? Is he his coach?

Well basically in the first scene he's introduced as being German Allstar(its national vs international, so it's a joke) and in the park venue he tells how his coach discovered him when he was 8 years old.
In the next scene that coach, Dennis talked about tells how Dennis was already developed at that age moving the ball behind the back and between the legs. He says he tried to do things kids that age usually are not capable of. That brought Dennis to the gym playing organised basketball and Dennis tells how he owes him everything. He was kind of a mentor who always took his time to practice with Dennis.
After that the announcer shifts over to his lack of discipline and respect and describes his career as fading before it really begun until the death of his father lit a fire in him again. Dennis talks a little about conversations with his father, who believed in him and told him he'll make it and has an opportunity to help his family.
Then it shifts over to the hairdresser venue and it's said he is very close to his mother and 4 brothers and sisters. In his spare time he helps out in the hairdresser shop of his older sister. His goal is the NBA which he wants to achieve as a tribute to his father and for himself.
Dennis tells he knows talents who haven't made it to the NBA but he's confident it can't go wrong as long as he practices hard every day.
Next scene you see Daryl Morey(Rockets GM) with his agent Ademola Okulaja(Former UNC player, who himself didn't make the jump to the NBA. Last try was the 2003 Trainingscamp of the UTAH JAZZ. He's generally being recognized as a toxic influence on Dennis in Germany. He's not that bright to say the least and he appears to be trying to live the NBA career he never had through Dennis)
Then there's an interview with him, where he describes Dennis as a frontrunner for the NBA on the Point Guard position in Germany and Europe. Today's game wasn't a nice one to watch but he's confident in the scouts ability to see Dennis' talent.
The announcer tells he only scored 8 points against Würzburg(They play a very disruptive defensive style. Having low scoring games most of the time) while averaging more than 12 per game. The Rockets and Knicks scouts in attendance could only catch flashes of his quickness and ballhandling. Braunschweig loses the game 60-64.
In the end the conversation shifts to the Nike Hoop Summit Invitation and Dennis tells about an agreement with his team that he's allowed to go if they win the next 3 games.
Final sentence is: It's up to him to get closer to his dream of playing in the NBA.

I have read so much **** about all these players that I think I could be talked into liking just about any one we pick...... except plumlee, olynyk, and larkin (though I would be ok with larkin at 21)
I still don't like MCW much at all, but if we picked him then I would just start thinking about all his positives and forget his negatives and be happy.
McCollum, Schroeder, bullock, gobert, giannis, bazz, dieng, franklin, Goodwin, robinson..... etc, Im down with most all of em

second round... kabongo, wolters, pierre Jackson, canaan

It will be hard for the jazz to piss me off come Thursday.

Edut: easiest (and maybe most likely) way to piss me off on Thursday...... trade burks
