WEBVTT - Sloane Knows - NBA Predictions: Warriors’ Klay Thompson replacement, SGA to win MVP?

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>What's up, guys. It's slowan and for the first time ever,

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm here by myself, no guests, just me. Let's see

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>how this goes. Okay, So, starting off, I want to

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about City Edition jerseys. So I ranked my favorites

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and I ranked my least favorites, and then out of curiosity,

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I went over to Bleacher Report and I looked at

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>their rankings of their favorite jerseys and their least favorite jerseys,

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and our rankings were literally the opposite, which I thought

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>was really funny because clearly whoever's doing the rankings there

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>is probably an adult, and I'm seventeen, so I feel

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like we've have different opinions. So I think it's interesting

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. So my first favorite jersey is the

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Raptors jersey. Just starting off with the dinosaur like, this

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>just gives like Vince Carter Raptors. I love it. It's

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>so cool. I hate to use this word, but it

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>it just has so much aura. I can imagine in

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>like twenty years, like kids walking around wearing that jersey,

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>like that's just an all time classic. I really like that.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Next up, this is probably an unpopular choice, but I'm

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna go with the Timberwolves jersey. This one I saw

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>was getting a lot of hate online, but I really

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like the ombre effect. I like that it goes loud

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and then really quiet, and I just can like see

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Amp hitting a game winner in that jersey and just

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>looking really clean. So I'm a big fan of that one.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious what you guys think. This is also crazy,

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>but I'm talking about I want to talk about the

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Lakers jersey. So that jersey has been getting so much

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>hate online. People are like, okay, like who calls the

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Lakers the Lake Show? No one does. I do agree

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>with that. I do, but I love an hombreak. I

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>just love the homebrek. I don't know, Like I am

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>not a type of person who walks around and wears

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>basketball jerseys. I just don't, but I would wear that.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>The ombre is so cool. Sure, maybe they just should

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>have put Lakers on it, but I really like how

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it looks. Maybe that's a me thing, but I like it.

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Next up, I want to talk about the MAVs jersey.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It's clean, it's simple, but I really like it. I

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>like that it's subtle. I like that there's not too

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>many colors. I like that clean. Look. I'm a big

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>fan of that. I'm also a big fan of the

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Calves jersey. I like calling the calves the land. I

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>think that that makes the calves cooler than they are,

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>because they're not that cool, but I think that that

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>makes them a little cooler. And I like this side

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that says the calves on it, the light blue, the

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. I just I just love it. Now I'm

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna move on to some of my least favorites, so

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>this is sort of like an honorable least favorite mention,

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>and that's gonna be the Grizzlies jersey. Here's why. It

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>just looks like it's a Clippers jersey. And that's my problem.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not that I don't like it. If the Clippers

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>were wearing it, I would like it, but like, no,

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>just the Grizzlies have nothing to do with red. I

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>just don't like it. It really distracts me. It bothers me.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Like if I see Jaw in that jersey with no context,

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, why is John a Clippers jersey? I

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Maybe that's just me. It just looks so clippery,

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>so I think that they should have fixed that. But whatever,

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see something like the Raptors jersey for

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the Grizzlies. Like, give me a real big grizzly bear

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>on the Grizzlies jersey. That's what I want to see. Okay.

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Next up is the Celtics jersey. It looks very like

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>robe Bloxy or like Minecrafty. It's just so like green

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and like boxy, like there's nothing special about it's very dull.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>This one I've been seeing. It seems like it's been

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>very popular, which is the Sun's jersey. So I've been

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing on all these rankings that the Sun's jersey's like

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the number one jersey. I like the whole the Valley thing.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>But okay, this is gonna be a very niche reference.

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But have you ever gone to like a roller skating

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>rink for like a tenth birthday party or something like that,

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and it literally looks like the roller skating rink is

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>from like the seventies or the eighties, way before my time.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>That's what the Sun's jersey looks like. It just looks

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>very dated. I get that that's sort of the vibe

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of Arizona, but I just don't like it. It looks

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>old school in not a good way. And then the

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Nuggets jersey. I feel like they're just doing too much

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>with the five to eight zero, Like not enough people

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>know that's telling me miles above sea level. I think

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it is. People don't know that. It's just confusing, Like

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing about that jersey says Nuggets. Same with the Memfit's jersey,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>like I just don't see how this has anything to

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>do with Nugets. And then I want to talk about

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors jersey. Nothing is particularly wrong with the Warriors jersey,

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 1>but as a Warriors fan, I'm always expecting more and

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's not being given to me. Like

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>we don't have that many years left with Steph. I

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>hate to say it, but we don't. And I need

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to see him in some cooler jerseys. So you know,

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>dubs jersey designers, if you're sitting here watching this, I'm

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>telling you I want to see more from you. It's

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>not bad. I'm just I'm just underwhelmed. All right. So

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 1>that was my favorite jersey's and the least favorite jerseys.

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious what you guys have to say. I'm sure

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get a lot of hate on this. I

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like my my opinions were definitely not popular, but

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited moving on. You know, we were just talking

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>about the Warriors, and I want to continue. This is

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a potential Warriors starting five, Steph Curry, d' anthony Melton,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Kaminga, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green. Okay, so I want

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to talk a little bit about the Warriors and the

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>hype problem in the Bay. So Steph Curry is six too,

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Draymond Green is sixty six, Jonathan Kaminga is sixty seven,

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiggins is six seven, and d Anthony Melton is

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 1>six three. This is a projected starting lineup for the Warriors,

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and I do think though I think Podes should get

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that should get that start, I do think that this

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is what the Warriors will be going with. On average,

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a point guard in the NBA is six two and

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.119
<v Speaker 1>a half, a shooting guard is six four and a half,

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a small ford is six ' six, a power forward

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is six ' eight, and a center is six ' ten.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>So the Warriors are basically shorter in almost every category

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>underneath the average. I don't like how that sounds. That

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>really worries me. I think the Warriors have always had

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>a hype problem to be honest, and James Wiseman was

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be the solution, and we all know how

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that worked out. But it makes me uncomfortable to be like, Okay,

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>our center is six six, like, I'm not sure that

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>that's going to work for the whole season. Mind you,

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors are the only undefeated team except for the

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Knicks in the preseason, so it is working right now,

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>but when we're in the height of the season, I'm

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>not sure that's going to work out. We do have

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>some nice off season acquisitions, like Lindy Waters the third

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>or Quentin Posts. They are some seven footers close to

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>seven feet, but I'm not sure how many minutes they're

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>going to be getting, so I am worried, and I'd

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>like to see a new acquisition to the Warriors that

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>can get minutes and is also taller than six six

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven. Moving on, I want to talk a little

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>bit about some award predictions. So I want to start

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>off with the MVP, And though I do have a prediction,

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>this is more of a hope. I just hope the

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>MVP is not Yokic. Again, it's just boring. It's boring

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>when Jokic is the MVP every year. I understand he

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>deserves it, I get it, but it's boring. I like

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>when the NBA is more exciting and it switches up.

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to see a new MVP this year, someone

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>who's never won the award, and so that is why

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>my MVP pick for the season is Shay gilligis Alexander.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, Shay is entering his seventh season, which is exciting.

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that that sort of solidifies him as not

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>really a young guy anymore. He's not, you know, yet

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>at VET status, but he's definitely not a young guy.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>And there's been some pretty strong acquisitions to his team

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>this year with Alex Druce and Isaiah Hartenstein. I think

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you can define those guys as vets in the league

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>or at least in veteran rules, and I think that

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they will definitely help the Thunder. And then also Jalen Williams,

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Santa Clara, Jaylen Williams, you know, I think him not

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>being a rookie this year, him knowing what's coming is

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>going to help Shae out a lot. And so yeah,

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I think SGA is going to be the MVP, and

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to see if I'm right. I usually am,

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see. Anyways, moving on, I want to talk

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>about dependsive Player of the Year. I think Defensive Player

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Year should be Victor Wemenyama. I thought Defensive

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Player the Year should been Victor Hemenyama last year. I

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>think that he was rigged. I think that Rudy Gobert

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>has won that award too many times. I think, especially

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>with Chris Paul on Spurs this year, it's gonna be

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>really fun to watch the Spurs. And I mean Wemby

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>is a seven four seven five giant who can shoot

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>like a point guard, and I mean you just can't

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>get past him on defense. I'm really excited to see

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>how his game has evolved. Okay, Rookie of the Year,

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>this is not clear. I feel like with the MVP,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Defensive Player of the Year it's pretty Maybe MVP is

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a little less clear, but Defensive Player of the Year

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>is pretty obvious. MVP. You know, of course, Yogic Shay

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Jason Tatum, but that's pretty much the only con Luca,

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty much the only conversation. Rookie of the Year

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>is not clear. This is a very weird draft class.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>But if I had to make a prediction, I would

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>say Read Shepherd and my reasoning for reed Shepherd wouldn't

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>necessarily be talent. I would say it's more about consistency.

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he's more consistent than the other rookies in

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>this class. And I also think he'll get more minutes,

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>he'll get more reps. I mean, look at Alex Sar

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>other than Brownie. I think he had the worst plus

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>minus in the preseason. Summer League was rough for Alex Sar. Yes,

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a second pick, Yes, things could happen. You know.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say this is a James Wiseman situation,

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>but I just don't see him really having a standout season. No.

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Do I think Read Shepherd's going to be an All Star. No,

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>but I think he will be more consistent than everyone

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.839
<v Speaker 1>else in the draft class. If I had it my way,

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Jared McCain would be the Rookie of the Year, But unfortunately,

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's gonna go my way. By the way,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>rest up, Jared, I saw he just had a big

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>tumble in preseason, So hopefully everything works out and he's

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>ready for Game one. And then my sixth man of

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the Year is Dante Deevinchenzo. If you had asked me

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>this question probably five days ago, I don't think I

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>would give this answer. But now that Dante is the Timberwolf,

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.199
<v Speaker 1>he is mad. He is mad, and it's fun to

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>see Dante mad, you know. I when Dante was on

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors, he was not the Dante he is now.

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>He has had some amazing player development, which also moves

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>me to this. I think Donte DiVincenzo should also be

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the most improved player. I believe that the Dante that

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>was on the Bucks and the Dante that's gonna be

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>on the Timberwolves this year is a completely different, evolved player.

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think not only has his skill evolved, but

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>his personality has evolved, and he's mad. I don't know,

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't want to see, not saying that

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna happen, But if in the crazy world

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>it was the Timberwolves next final, I don't want to

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>see that. That would be crazy. So those are my

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>award predictions. Okay, so now I want to move on

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to a question that was asked by Austin Rivers on Twitter,

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and the question is would you trade chet Holmgren right

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>now for the draft rights to Cooper Flack and I

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>thought long and hard about this one. I don't know

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>this is a definite answer, but right now today I

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>would keep Chet home grin. I think in the modern

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>NBA we put too much hype on players that have

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>never played a game in the league. We don't know

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>how Cooper is going to be in the NBA. We

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>can guess, you know, I would guess that he's going

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to be incredible, but we don't know. And we've seen

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:29.359
<v Speaker 1>enough of Chet to know. I keep saying, no, it's

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>funny because the name of this podcast, but anyways, we've

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>seen Chet. He's just he's too good of a rim protector.

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>He's too good of a shooter for a big man.

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 1>He's a consistent defender. And I think that those are

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>things that the Thunder, which could arguably be a real

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>title contender this year, shouldn't give up for someone that is,

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically hasn't played a real college game yet.

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you ask me this question in March,

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I hope my answer changes because I really want to

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>see Cooper Flag be good. I really want to see

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Flag be special. I'm a big fan of him.

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I love watching his high school mixtapes. They're so much

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch, and so I really do hope that

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in March my answer changes. But right now, having really

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>seen little of Cooper Flag, I mean, sure, yes, we

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>saw him with the USA Select team, but having seen

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>little of him in actual crunch time games on a

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>high level, I would keep chat Holmgren. I'm curious what

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys think. Thank you guys so much for listening

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to this special episode of Slow Notes. Let me know

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.120
