You know, I love college basketball. 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 3: Rachel loves college basketball, so we'll talk about that. But first, 21 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 3: the NBA second half of the season starts tonight. Kudos 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: to the league for a good, good matchup on paper tonight. 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: And I have some hot takes on the second half 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: of the season going forward, so we've narrowed them down 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: to five. My five predictions for the NBA second half. 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 4: Here we go. 27 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: Number one, the Cleveland Cavaliers will get the number one 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: seed in the East. Now they are seven games back 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: at Detroit. I know you're gonna say, Mac, You're crazy, 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: that's insanity. It's all about the schedule, baby, and also 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: the fact that Donovan Mitchell now has James Harden. They 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: had no practices together and looked awesome. What's gonna happen 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: when they can actually work together with some time under 34 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: their belt. 35 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 4: This is a damn good team. 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: When you get Moblei, Allen, Mitchell and Harden and the 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: schedule is loaded with teams that are tanking. I know 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: we don't like that word, but the Detroit schedule is 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: much more difficult. 40 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 4: I think the Knicks kind of start. 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: To maybe rest guys a little bit down the stretch 42 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: to be fresh for the playoffs. I have the Cabs 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: stealing the number one seed in the East. Number two, 44 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: the Oklahoma City Thunder will not get out of the 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: second round of the playoffs. I can hear the laughter 46 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 3: in America, folks. As a reminder, no defending NBA champ 47 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 3: has gotten past the second round of the playoffs in 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: six straight seasons. Some of that is just circumstance, some 49 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 3: is injuries, some of it is unlucky. But I think 50 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: there's something here. And what a great stat from our staff. 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 3: So okase started twenty four and one. Remember there was 52 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: all that nonsense about seventy four wins. They're eighteen and thirteen. 53 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 4: Since that's it. 54 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 3: They're like slightly above league average. No, yes, they've had 55 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: a ton of injuries, but if. 56 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: You drilled down a little, j Dubb not playing. 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: Great, Alex Caruso might be their second best player right now. 58 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: Sga is still hurt, folks. The Thunder are not in 59 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: a great place. There is that lack of hunger that 60 00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: some teams have the year. 61 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: After in the title. Just keep an eye. 62 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: I think they go down to Denver or the Spurs 63 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: third up. Sorry, Boston. I don't think the Celtics will 64 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: get out of the first round of the playoffs. 65 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 4: Now. 66 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 3: A large part of this is I don't know if 67 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: Jason Tatum's coming back, but everybody and their mom thinks 68 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: he is. Here's the problem. The Celtics have gotten right 69 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: here in the last few weeks, largely against bad teams, 70 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: but also they move Peyton Pritchell to the bench, they 71 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: ship out Simons and Jalen Brown is clearly their number 72 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: one guy. He's playing at an all NBA first team level. 73 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: So now you're gonna thrust a star like Tatum in. 74 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a learning curve. And I 75 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: don't know when he's gonna come back. Do you start 76 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: him off the bench? Is he on a minute's restriction? 77 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: Does that kind of mess with the good vibes in Boston? 78 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: And I do believe that if they're the three and 79 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: they have to face a six, or they're the two 80 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: and they have to face dangerous Charlotte folks. I listen, 81 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: I love me some Tatum, but I don't know how 82 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: this is gonna work. It becomes I got Boston bounced 83 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: in the first round. Number four. I do not like 84 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: this one at all. You know, I love Cooper Flag. 85 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: I'm predicting Khan k Nipple is going to steal the 86 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year for two reasons number one. I mean, Charlotte, 87 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: they're playing out of their minds right now. In Knipple, Folks, 88 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 3: he's shooting forty three percent from three, best among rookies, 89 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: shooting forty eight percent from the field. He's averaging eighteen 90 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: and five shot creation, playmaking. He's a total package. Now 91 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: you know, I'm a Cooper Flag guy. Love Cooper Flagg. 92 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: Think he's the future of the league. I do wonder 93 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 3: if Dallas, which has lost nine straight, decides, hey, hey, 94 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 3: in the best interest of our franchise, we just announced 95 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving. We're not bringing it back. Remember there was 96 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 3: all that hope. We're not bringing Kyrie back. Do they say, Cooper, 97 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 3: let's power down. Let's say you played thirty five games 98 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 3: last year or whatever. 99 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: Duke. 100 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 3: Now we're at like fifty five and we don't want 101 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: to get any injuries, and they shut down Cooper Flag 102 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: in the effort to tang and get a high draft pick. 103 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 3: Can you imagine Cooper Flag alongside Dabansa or Boozer from Duke, Folks, 104 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 3: it's the smart move. 105 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 4: I know you don't want to hear that, but that's 106 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: why I look at Continent will winning rookie of the year. 107 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: And finally my NBA Finals prediction, Nicks from the East 108 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: and the Spurs in the West. 109 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: Love me someone, Ben Yama. I liked that Rachel's all 110 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 4: over web Minyaba be in the face of the league. 111 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: I think this is the year for my next ye know, 112 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: I'm in Nick Lakers fan, which is not allowed, but 113 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: I don't really care. That's who I root for. I 114 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 3: think Jalen Brunson and company get it done. They show 115 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 3: we don't need the honest, which is good good news 116 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: for the Lakers and the Spurs. I just love this team. 117 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: Stephan Castle is already one of my like five favorite 118 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: players in the league. 119 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 4: I haven't seen a dude that confident. 120 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 6: You know. 121 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: I went to Lakers Spurs a little while ago and 122 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: we had really good seats. And if you just watch 123 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: Castle walk around dap people up in warm ups, there's 124 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: no nervous energy, there's no second year jitters. Castle essentially 125 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,559 Speaker 3: looks like the truth. He looks like a guy who's 126 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: going to be a big time star in this league. 127 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: He could guard anybody. Look at him. Shut down SGA 128 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: in their regular season meetings. They own the thunder already. 129 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: Love me some Castle Spurs Nicks in the NBA Finals. 130 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: All right, let's. 131 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: Bring in our guest, Miles Simon, Fox Sports College basketball analyst. 132 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: I got to meet Miles back in the day. 133 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: Obviously an amazing basketball player at Arizona. Tremendous run you 134 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 3: guys had, Miles, We're going to start to write. 135 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 4: In the deep end. 136 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 3: We're tossing you, dude. This Darren Peterson stuff is everywhere. Miles, 137 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: I'll take a deep breath. 138 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 4: He had an. 139 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: Amazing first half last night and then he cramped up 140 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: second half. The numbers are staff put it together. He's 141 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 3: had a hamstring, an ankle, an illness, cramping, He's missed 142 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: fifteen of twenty six games. But he is a really 143 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: talented basketball player. What do you make of this? 144 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 5: There's a lot of concerns about Darren Peterson, obviously, and 145 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 5: NBA teams are gonna have to do a very deep, 146 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 5: deep dive into one his injury history, his mental makeup, 147 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 5: because when you can't get through a college season, the 148 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 5: amount of money the NBA teams are about to invest 149 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 5: in this guy as a top three pick, possibly number 150 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 5: one pick, is very concerning. You have the anti flu game. Okay, 151 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 5: Jordan had the Flu game where he showed up in 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 5: the finals and he puts up amazing numbers, and Darren 153 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 5: Peterson has the number one team in the country in 154 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 5: Arizona in his building, goes through warm ups and sits 155 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 5: out with the flu and doesn't even give it a shot. 156 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 5: That's super concerning for not only the Kansas Jayhawks this 157 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: year because that's what they're focused on, trying to win 158 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 5: a national championship, but for NBA teams going forward. Man, 159 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 5: you know that's going to be tough. It's knocking him 160 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 5: down in my opinion, from the number one spot. 161 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 4: Interesting. So, the Texas Tech game was incredible. 162 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: He hits two threes. Here's one of them. I mean, 163 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: unbelievable two threes in the final ninety seconds. They come 164 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: back and win. Denny's gips the Arizona game, and they 165 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: win without him, right, I don't know. You probably know 166 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: Bill self. I'm sure he recruited you back in the 167 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: day at some point, but like you know, you look 168 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: around at Bill self is even like answering questions after 169 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: the game last night, he was like, I don't really 170 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: know what happened. I mean, it was just very I 171 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: can't recall a story like this. 172 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill self was baffled last night. 173 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 5: And I think you remember, like even a week ago, 174 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 5: he really defended the kid, as he should. It's his player. 175 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 5: He probably he cares for him a lot. But last 176 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 5: night you saw the clip where Peterson pulls himself out 177 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: of the game, and Bill Self says, you know, I 178 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 5: thought we were good to go. 179 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: I thought he was good to. 180 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 5: Go, and then all of a sudden, you know, he 181 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 5: I think he has twenty points or something in the 182 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 5: first half, and the talent just it's it's tantalizing and 183 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 5: it's teasing because he's so good and you just want 184 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 5: to see him perform, you know, thirty to thirty five 185 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 5: minutes a night. And this Kansas team, like they're on 186 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 5: the brink. They win that game, like you said, against Arizona, 187 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 5: number one team in the country, without him, and they 188 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 5: just want to see the complete package. If you're a 189 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 5: Kansas fan, if you're Bill self, and if you're his teammates. 190 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 5: But man, the guy is not coming on the court 191 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 5: quite enough. And you got to be on the court 192 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 5: to win the national title. 193 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: So the only corollary I could find, and it's not 194 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: an apples apples, is do you remember Jalen Johnson at Duke. 195 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 3: I think it was the second year of COVID, so 196 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: he was another I'm going on three or four high schools, 197 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: which is fine, that's like the new thing for all 198 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: these elite top guys. And then he kind of quit 199 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: on coach k remember in I think it was February. 200 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: He just basically was like, I'm done, We're not going anywhere. 201 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: I'm quitting and he got blasted by the media, but 202 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: you could see the talent was there. 203 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 4: So he fell a little bit in the draft. The 204 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 4: Hawks get a steal. Here we are like. 205 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: What four years later, Jalen Johnson is like one of 206 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: the maybe an All NBA player. 207 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: He's an All Star. 208 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: So I mean, I know you said you're. 209 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 3: Backing off Peterson a little, but seeing a guy like 210 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson, does that maybe make you think, like, hey, 211 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: it's the talent. 212 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: Well, he's not. 213 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 5: Dropping past like three in the draft like to me. 214 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: To me, there's a clear top three. He's not going 215 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 5: like twenty like Jalen Johnson because he's through. It's gonna 216 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 5: be Devansa and then Boozer and then him because then 217 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 5: you're talking about Caleb Wilson and Kingston Plembings, those guys, 218 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 5: Keaton Woggler, those are like, you know, four, five six. 219 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: At some point. 220 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 5: Still, the talent is gonna override because he's better than 221 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 5: He's better than those guys, so he's not He's not 222 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 5: going past three in the draft. But man, is it 223 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: scary for those NBA teams, you know, once they do 224 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 5: all their homework, because the guy can't get through a 225 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 5: college season his first college season healthy. 226 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: Let me ask you about Michigan. One of the best 227 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: teams in the country, if not the best. I may 228 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 3: have a couple bucks on them to win the title. 229 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 3: They had a great game against Duke. This is It 230 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: reminds me of the remember the Fab five back in 231 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 3: the day, Yes you do. They had a couple of 232 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: games against Duke in the regular season, those like Holy 233 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: who are these guys. I don't know if this game 234 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 3: will have that cachet, but Michigan Duke. 235 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 4: You mentioned Boozer. I kind of like Michigan in this game. 236 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: It's Saturday. Is a great day for college basketball. 237 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, Saturday is a great day. And that is going 238 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 5: to be an unbelievable matchup. And and Cameron Boozer's. He's 239 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 5: the clubhouse leader for National Player of the Year right now. 240 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 5: Like he's been a steady hand for this Duke team 241 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 5: has kept him in the top five all season long. 242 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 2: He's one of the most versatile players in the country. 243 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: And you know he does. He doesn't have the flash. 244 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 5: Of Peterson and the Banza or even like a Kingston Flemings, 245 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 5: but man, he can post up. He's a he actually 246 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 5: is a very underrated passer. Okay, he can shoot the three. 247 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 5: He can shoot the three. He's a good athlete and 248 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: he's an excellent defender. He's like everything that you want, 249 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 5: and you know what you're going to get from him, 250 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 5: night in the night out. He's going to show up 251 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 5: thirty to thirty five minutes. He's going to give you 252 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 5: the twenty two points, nearly a double double, all all 253 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 5: those things. But he's gonna have a heck of a 254 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 5: matchup on the other side. Ya's Lendeborg is going to 255 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 5: be a first or second team All American. He's probably 256 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 5: gonna be a first round draft pick. And if you 257 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 5: don't know Yaxell Lindenborg, get to know that name. I 258 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 5: got to spend some time around that guy.
