1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: The Volume. All right, welcome to hoops tonight here at

2
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: the Volume. Happy Friday, everybody. I hope all of you

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: guys had an incredible week. The NBA Draft was last night,

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: and obviously, as you guys know, I don't have the

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: time to hit on every single draft prospect, but I

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: did target four in particular for some of our high

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: profile teams and specifically guys that are going to need

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: to play a lot next year for teams that have

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: high expectations. For the Los Angeles Lakers, I've Jalen Hood

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Chafino and Maxwell Lewis for the Golden State Warriors, Brandon Podziemski,

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: and last but not least, for the Dallas Mavericks, the

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: number one high school recruit from twenty twenty two, a

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: center who played sparingly for Duke Mister Derek Lively, is

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: going to be a center and a very important piece

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: for Dallas Mavericks team that desperately needs playable role players

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: next seas. And so we're gonna do full scouting reports

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,520

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: let's talk some basketball. So starting with the Los Angeles Lakers,

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: who have, in my opinion, the very best college scouting

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: department in the NBA, just routinely hitting on players far

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: back in the draft or even undrafted. Whether that's Austin

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: Reeves or it's Alex Caruso or it's Kyle Kuzma. There

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: is a long line of Laker draft picks, particularly ones

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,559
Speaker 1: that are outside of the lottery or outside of the obvious. Ironically,

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball is probably the worst recent draft pick of theirs,

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: and he was the number two overall pick. So when

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: it comes to in most of Loonzo's issues were related

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: to health. I actually thought he was a very very

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: good player when he was healthy. But the Laker scouting

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: department does a really, really good job, and so I'm

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: excited to dive into these two picks, and I liked

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: both of them a lot. After diving further into it,

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: so Jalen Houchifino is your textbook pull up shooting guard.

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: And remember, pull up shooting is a specific weakness for

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and I think that's a big part of

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: why they targeted him. In particular, he's very big compared

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: to most ball handling guards. He's six ' four point

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: twenty five without shoes, so he's a little over six

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: five with shoes, massive wingspan, six ' ten in a quarter.

67
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: He weighs about two hundred and seventeen pounds. That's very

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: big for a guard his size. So he's big and strong.

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: To give you guys a comparison Bruce Brown, who obviously

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: wasn't a ball handling guard, well, he did bring the

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: ball be floor, but wasn't like a you know, a

72
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: guy that would spam ball screens. But to give you

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: an idea of size after you just watched the NBA Finals,

74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Bruce Brown is six three and a half without shoes

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: and has a six to nine wingspan. Weighed one eighty

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: seven in college and is up to two poh two now,

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: So he's basically a slightly bigger version of Bruce Brown

78
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: in terms of his physical profile, though he is not

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: the same type of athlete that Bruce Brown is. He's

80
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: not nearly as explosive. At Indiana averaged four eighteen, four

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: and four on forty two percent from the field, thirty

82
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: three percent from three seventy eight percent from the line,

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: again as a freshman, so he's playing against older players

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: often and in a pretty high usage role. Surprisingly, what

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go over some of

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: his play type data from Synergy and then tell you

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: what I saw on film. So Indiana score three hundred

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: and two points on three hundred and sixty six Jalen

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: pick and rolls, including passes. He almost always ran his

90
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: pick and rolls from the middle of the floor, and

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: he almost always used the screens. He doesn't reject picks off,

92
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: and that's something that I'd like to see him do

93
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more in the NBA. Almost always takes

94
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: a pull up jumper. About fifty percent of the time

95
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: when he comes off of the pick, he takes a

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: pull up jump shot. He shot forty one percent on

97
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: pull up jump shots last year forty six percent when

98
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: you weigh it for three, so forty six percent in

99
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: effective field goal percentage. Those are really good numbers for

100
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: a young guard. The tons of young guards are super

101
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: inefficient on pull up jump shots, and they take them

102
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: and they look good every once in a while, but

103
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: they miss a ton. Uh Jalen Rich if you know,

104
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: I actually did a really nice job knocking down pull

105
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: up jump shots last season. Got a really good floater

106
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: as well. Forty one on floaters. Has a good mix

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: of them as well. Like you take the traditional floaters

108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: that you see everyone else take, but he can also

109
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: take these sweeping floaters as he's going lateral from the rim,

110
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: he can make those as well. On tape, I was

111
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: really impressed with his handle. I thought he had good

112
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: control of the basketball, does a good job protecting the

113
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: basketball too by turning his back. Obviously, still amounted a

114
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: few turnovers, as you expect from young guards. That'll go

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: away as he gets better at managing ball pressure with

116
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: more reps, especially in the NBA. Very methodical in pick

117
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: and roll play, slow, slowly works to his spots, which

118
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: is the way you should play when you're a below

119
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: average athlete who has good physical tools. He's big and strong,

120
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: not the most explosive dude in the world. That has

121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: turned him into a slow and methodical ballscreen operator. He

122
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: does a good job of not like kind of pre

123
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: selecting or pre determining his moves. He just kind of

124
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: makes reads. He doesn't try to go hunt his shot.

125
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: He just tries to create the advantage for his offense.

126
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: And that's where I think he's at his best. Particularly

127
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: in that tournament game against Miami, they were trapping him

128
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: and blitzing him on a lot of pick and rolls.

129
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Didn't try to do too much, just kind of pulled

130
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: away and used his height in his long arms to

131
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: dump the ball over the top to the big man.

132
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: Every single time the screen defender engages with him, he

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: just gets rid of the basketball, whether it's a pocket

134
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: pass to the role man or that over the top pass,

135
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: and it blitz very good at getting rid of the

136
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: basketball to the rollman. Struggles a little bit with cross

137
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: court reads to the weakside corner. He's a little slow

138
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: to see it and a little inaccurate, but that'll come

139
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: in time, and he's got big enough hands and long

140
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: enough arms that I actually think he's going to be

141
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: really good at that in the long run. Does take

142
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: a lot of jump shots in the mid range and

143
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: a lot of floaters, but he makes him at a

144
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: good percentage. He's just your textbook big guard that can

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: make plays off the bounce. With this Laker team that

146
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: likes to use Lebron James and Anthony Davis as screeners

147
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: a lot, they need guards who can run ball screens,

148
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're gonna bring back Lonnie Walker.

149
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: It remains to be seen if they can bring back

150
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Dennis Schroeder if he stays on a minimum. I'm sure

151
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: the Lakers would love to have him back. But Dennis

152
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: played really well last year, so there's a good chance

153
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: that he gets a mid level exception deal this year.

154
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: That means that it's gonna be Austin and D'Angelo Russell

155
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: in the front court or in the back court to start,

156
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: and then off the bench, like maybe Malik Beasley if

157
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: they even keep him, they could use him as trade

158
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: ballasts as well. So, like it depends to see, it

159
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: depends on what the Lakers do this offseason in terms

160
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: of bringing in guards. I wouldn't be surprised if they

161
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: brought in a one or two veteran minimum level guards.

162
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: But Jalen Huchefino's gonna have a really good opportunity to

163
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: earn that backup shot creator role and play off of

164
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers bench a couple other play types. He was

165
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: only point seven to two points per possession in spot

166
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: up situations. He shot much much better on pull up

167
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: jumpers than catch and shoot jumpers. He shot forty one

168
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: percent on pull up jump shots, thirty one percent on

169
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: catch and shoot jump shots, thirty percent when he was unguarded. Now,

170
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: this is somewhat common because has a lot to do

171
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: with the way his role is structured. So, for instance,

172
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: he took one hundred and ninety six pull up jump

173
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: shots last year with Indiana only sixty four catch and

174
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: shoot jump shots. So the post is always in his hands,

175
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: and so there's a different rhythm and flow to shooting

176
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: off the dribble than there is off the catch. And

177
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: when you're constantly taking all of your shots off of

178
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: the dribble, sometimes your catch and shoot situation just feels

179
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: a little clunky to you because it's a completely different

180
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: type of shot. But he's got really good touch, as

181
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: you see on his float, as you see on his

182
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: pull up jump shooting percentage, as you see on his

183
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: free throws. He's seventy eight percent from free throws. Which

184
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: is solid. So my thing is I tend to think

185
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: that as a catch and shoot player, he will get

186
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: much much better once he learns to construct a muscle

187
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: memory that he can depend on in those situations so

188
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: that he can utilize the great touch that he has

189
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: when he's catching and shooting. Not only that, in spot

190
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: up situations, he's got such a good handle and his

191
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: gifted playmaker that he can't and he's got good size

192
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: that he should be great attacking closeouts, which is something

193
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: he didn't do very well last year. So I think

194
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: he'll be better at that in the long run. But

195
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: that's definitely a weakness for him right now is spot

196
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: up situations. But again, if he's coming off the bench

197
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: for the Lakers as a primary ball handler, it'll be

198
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: more important for him to be able to make plays

199
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: in pick and roll. He had nineteen points on sixteen

200
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: ISOs and shot fifty percent in those situations. But that's

201
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: really low volume, so not too much to take away there.

202
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: Shots just fifty three percent at the rim on tape.

203
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: What stood out to me took a lot of really

204
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: difficult shots at the rim, trying to draw fouls, you know,

205
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: just throwing shit up and falling on the floor. That's

206
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna hurt your percentages. Obviously not the most gifted athlete

207
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: in the world, so a lot of times he's shooting

208
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: over the top of people instead of just going through

209
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: them or around them on defense. Not overly quick, but

210
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: he does have really long arms, which helps gifted in

211
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: help situations at kind of digging down and grabbing at

212
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: the basketball and recovering. In the Miami game and the tournament,

213
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: rough defensive game for him, really struggled containing the Miami guards,

214
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: was getting beat off the dribble a lot, aureg going

215
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: navigating over screens. But he did have better stretches of

216
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: on ball defense during the regular season and on film.

217
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: A lot of it was just bad technique, like reaching

218
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: in instead of staying solid, giving up the driving lane

219
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: or on the screen instead of prepping to step over

220
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: the top, just kind of walking headlong into it because

221
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: he's not doing his preps. So a lot of stuff

222
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: that I think he can get better at, I think

223
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: is really good tools. And so he could certainly become

224
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: a switchable guard that can guard bigger wings because he's

225
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: got good size and the length to bother ball handlers

226
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: at the point of attack. But he's gonna need to

227
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: work on some of his technique stuff and some of

228
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: his foot speed stuff to succeed in the NBA, especially

229
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: as we all know NBA teams are gonna spam pick

230
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: and roll with really good guards. Overall, I like to pick.

231
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: I think it fills a specific need. They needed a

232
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: backup guard that can run ball screens. The Lakers are

233
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: actually pretty deep at forward right now with Ruyatcha, Murrage,

234
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Aired Vanderbilt, Lebron James, and Anthony Davis. He also played

235
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: with a really gifted role man at Indiana with Tracy

236
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Jackson Davis and did a good job of utilizing him

237
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: and getting in the basketball. That's a decent fit with

238
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. Whether or not he gets significant rotation minutes

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: is going to come down to the types of players

240
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: that the Lakers can get in free agency for the

241
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: minimum and what he can contribute on the defensive end.

242
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,000

00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: the kitchen the other day and my refrigerator is just

254
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: making this horrible grinding noise. Or on Saturday, we were

255
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: having a pool party, I had to use a couple

256
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: outlets that I hadn't used in a while, and I

257
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: found three or four outlets around the house that just

258
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: didn't work. And that's super annoying. But the best part

266
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: pick number forty. The Lakers trade it up and so

267
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to cover Maxwell Lewis, because clearly

268
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: the scouting department really liked this guy because they went

269
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: out of their way to move up to get him

270
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: by trading their pick and some cash. He's a textbook

271
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: scoring forward. He's six ' six in a quarter without shoes,

272
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: seven foot wingspans of super long arms, two hundred and

273
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: seven pounds, little fin not bad though, softomware, you're Pepperdine.

274
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: Seventeen point six rebounds and three assists, forty seven percent

275
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: from the field, thirty five percent from three to seventy

276
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: nine percent from the line. To me, he's your textbook

277
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: tip of the spear scoring forward. So he's not the

278
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: guy that's going to attack a set defense and consistently

279
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: create great shots. But if God can consistently set him

280
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: up with close out opportunities and mismatches, he's going to

281
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: be able to score there because when the defender is

282
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: coming at him or out of position, he's really good

283
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: at playing that leverage game, getting them to lean one

284
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: way and go the other, or if he has a

285
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: size advantage, using his body with his back turn to

286
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: get closer to the basket. And he is awesome at

287
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: finishing plays when he is set up. He's a deadly

288
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: spot up shooter sixty three percent effective field goal percentage

289
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: in catch and shoot situations, eighty three percent effective field

290
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: goal percentage in unguarded catch and shoot situation, so deadly.

291
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: When he is catching the ball in the perimeter and

292
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: shooting threes, teams treat him like a catch and shoot

293
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: guy who's deadly, so they close out super hard. And

294
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: that's where I was most impressed with Max. He's really

295
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: good at identifying the angle the guy's closing out at

296
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: and just quick ripping. So like, if the dude's closing

297
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: out at his left shoulder, he's not gonna pump fake

298
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: or wait, he's just gonna rip right on the catch

299
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: or the other way. If he does have an opportunity

300
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: to bait the guy into leaving his feet because he's

301
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: further away, then he can utilize the pump fake. I

302
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: actually posted a clip of one of his pump and

303
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: rip dunks during a game this season. You can find

304
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: that on my Twitter feed. Really really impressive play, multiple

305
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: counter moves. Again, not gonna break you down off the

306
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: dribble in a set situation, but when he makes let's

307
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: say that a guy closed out to his left shoulder

308
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: and he rips through, but the guy like recovers and

309
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: beats into the spot. He's gonna spin back or hit

310
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: it behind the back dribble to get back to the

311
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: left to get all the way to the rim. He's

312
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: always got a counter move ready, specifically turning his back

313
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: to the basket and using his sizes as an advantage.

314
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: And he's really good at shooting when he's got his

315
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: back turn in the basket. He's fifty five percent on

316
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: hook shots, sixty three percent at the rim. Had a

317
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: lot of high flying dunks this Year's got really good

318
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: physical tools to get up over the rim. He's also

319
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: was a very successful post player, especially especially against mismatches.

320
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: He's uh he scored seventy six points on seventy four

321
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: post ups including passes, which is awesome at the college level.

322
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: Really patient, just kind of keeps that dribble live when

323
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: guys are digging at him and kind of waits for

324
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: guys to go home, and once things kind of clear up,

325
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: then he just hits it to the side to try

326
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: to get to the rim. So again, in a back

327
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: to back situation, guys guarding me back to back. The

328
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: easiest way sometimes is just to go around him, and

329
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: so he'll make a lateral move quick and try to

330
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: get to the other side of the rim finishes there.

331
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Really well, that'll be an interesting thing for the Lakers

332
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: to build out over the years, especially with Phil Handy.

333
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: He saw a lot of people on Twitter comparing him

334
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: to Trey Murphy, and I actually really really like that

335
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: cump because he's like the three and D guy but

336
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: with real scoring chops. But remember it, with Trey Murphy,

337
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: the defensive end ended up being the issue for him.

338
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Primarily He's got great tools, but his instincts and his

339
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: foot speed ended up being an issue. That's going to

340
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: be the big thing for Max is is he going

341
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: to be able to be playable defensively because he's not

342
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: super quick, but he does have great tools, So a

343
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,359
Speaker 1: lot of it's going to come down to his basketball

344
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: IQ on the defensive end of the flour. Overall, good

345
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: forward depth for the Lakers, especially for future seasons or

346
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: in the case that the Lakers have to move one

347
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: of Ruey or Van Doh in a trade. So really

348
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: good draft for the Lakers once again, at least from

349
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: what I can tell up front. Obviously, time will tell

350
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: as the guys play in the league, but I like

351
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: both of these guys. Moving on to the Warriors, Brandon

352
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: Podzamski's textbook lefty scoring guard. A little bit undersize, six

353
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: three and three quarters without shoes, short arms, six five

354
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: and a half wing span, weighs two hundred and four

355
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: pounds tho, so he's built pretty well for his size.

356
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Didn't play much at Illinois, then transferred to Santa Clara

357
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: and was awesome last year at Santa Clara. I averaged

358
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: twenty points nine rebounds how about that and four assists.

359
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Shot forty eight percent from the field, forty four percent

360
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: from three, seventy seven percent from the line, two point

361
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: three stocks per game, a lot of steals. I think

362
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: he was one in one point eight steals per game.

363
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: They were doing a lot of pressing and he was

364
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: really active in the press, getting steals for quick runout

365
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: dunks and things like that. Playtype data awesome shooter, one

366
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: point one to one points per possession in spot up situations,

367
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: deadly knocking down shots and attacking clobe outs. Sixty six

368
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: percent effective field goal percentage on catch and shoe jumpers

369
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: eighty four percent effective field goal percentage on unguarded catch

370
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: and shoe jumpers, so just a deadly shooter, very good

371
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: off the dribble, forty percent on pull up jump shots,

372
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: fifty three percent effective field goal percentage on pull up

373
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: jump shots, and a good short game forty five percent

374
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: on floaters, sixty seven percent on hook shots. Was a

375
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: good pick and roll shot creators zero point eight nine

376
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: points per possession, which is good for that level. Faced

377
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: super aggressive coverages too. Teams were picking him up as

378
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: soon as he passed half court, the defenders, all the

379
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: screen defenders, all the way up at the level of

380
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: the screen constantly He's getting bracketed. Had to work really

381
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: hard to set up his man for ball screen, so

382
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: he faced pretty intense defense throughout the season and still

383
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: did really well. Just an outstanding passer, just makes these

384
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: unbil There was this one where he threw a lob

385
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: where he was going towards his left and he threw

386
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: a hook lob from below his waist that was right

387
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: on target above the rim for their big man to

388
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: grab it and dunk it. Makes a lot of really

389
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: impressive passes in pick and roll and is a great

390
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: shot creator. He shot fifty percent effective field goal percentage

391
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: when shooting out of pick and roll, a lot of

392
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: like janky stuff, funky looking shots, a lot of like

393
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: step through floaters, and weird looking high arching shots, but

394
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: they just tend to go in, as you can see

395
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: in the numbers. I actually think he's gonna be a

396
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: really good fit in the Warriors motion offense. Why he's

397
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: awesome in spot up situations. He had a fifty two

398
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: percent effective field goal percentage coming off of screens, and

399
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: he had a fifty four percent effective field goal percentage

400
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: coming off of dribble handoffs in addition to all this

401
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: stuff I was talking about in pick and roll. So again,

402
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: he's another one of those guys kind of like the

403
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: Tyler Harrow mold, where like he's really good when he

404
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: gets separation naturally as part of the coverage, which is

405
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: something I think he's gonna get a lot in the

406
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: Warriors motion offense. So I really like the fit offensively,

407
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: the defensive end is gonna be the issue. He's not

408
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: overly tall, his short arms, very athletic, but he's not

409
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: a good point of attack defender. So he's vertically athletic,

410
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: not latterly athletic, but He is an outstanding rebounder, grab

411
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: nine rebounds per game last year, which is amazing. Think

412
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: about kind of like what Dante de Vincenzo did for

413
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: the Warriors last year. Just kind of a super aggressive rebounder,

414
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive end. Dante's a better athlete, but

415
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: not as good as a shooter. And Dante was a

416
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: little definitely a better defensive player, good quick feet and

417
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: was a good ball pressure guard for the Warriors. So

418
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: I expect Dante to opt out. There's a lot of interest,

419
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: specifically from the New York Knicks from what I've been

420
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: hearing a reading. I should say so honestly, like if

421
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: he can defend well enough, he can take that rotation spot.

422
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: But that's the same thing I'm gonna say about everybody

423
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: else on this list, all four of these guys. Again,

424
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: this is something to keep in mind, like young players

425
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: don't win in the NBA. Michael Porter Junior was the

426
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: only guy below the age of twenty five who played

427
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: over one hundred minutes in the NBA Finals, and he

428
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: also was the guy who played the worst. Typically speaking,

429
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: especially when you get the late playoff rounds, it's grown

430
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: men that win in playoff games. And so none of

431
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna play much in all likelihood, and

432
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: if they do play it like a Christian braun, it's

433
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna be because they can defend and their coach trusts

434
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: them in those situations. So again, I like to pick

435
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: great offensive fit. Whether or not he ends up being

436
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: a useful player is gonna come down to the defensive end,

437
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: and Steve Current particular is already not super high in

438
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: playing young guys for the Mavericks. Derek Lively this was

439
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: the number one prospect in the twenty twenty two class

440
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: out of high school according to ESPN's College Basketball Recruiting Service.

441
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: He's a center seven foot one, seven to seven wingspan,

442
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen pounds, very thin, only played twenty

443
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: one minutes per game at Duke. Averaged five points, five rebounds,

444
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: and one assist per game, shot sixty six percent from

445
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: the field, did average two point four blocks per game,

446
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: and had an eight block game at one point during

447
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: the season, So some real rim protection stuff there. He

448
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: was an awesome roleman. He shot twenty four for twenty

449
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: eight on rollman possessions this year with Duke. Just caught

450
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: everything and dunked everything. Legit vertical spacing threat, easy target

451
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: above the rim. That's going to be a great fit

452
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: with Luka Doncicch Kyrie Irving. But this pick is all

453
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: about rim protection. According to Synergy, players shot just thirty

454
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: nine and a half percent at the rim against Lively,

455
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: which is the eighty third percentile. So that's very good.

456
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: Super mobile defender and pick and roll, very good at

457
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: getting up to the level of the screen to dissuade

458
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: the pull of jump shot sprinting back into the picture

459
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: to contain at the rim. Has a really good recovery

460
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: athleticism when he's out of position. A lot of like

461
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: really impressive blocks on tape where you're like you feel

462
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: like he's completely buried or completely out of position, yet

463
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: somehow gets back there and makes a play. I thought

464
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: he played with really good motor like it wasn't like

465
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: he was lumbering around on defense. I thought he was

466
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: moving around and playing hard. He does struggle a bit

467
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: with bigger post players. There was this big center for

468
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: NC State that was just barbecue and his ass with

469
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: like his big kind of like chubby guy just barbecuing

470
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: his ass with like quick pivots and getting him out

471
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: of position with like a chicken wing to get all

472
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: the way to the basket. I do really like this

473
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: pick though. Do you guys remember the Brooklyn Nets team

474
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: from last year that was really good before Kyrie Irving

475
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: blew it up with a trade request and they had

476
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: won like a like something crazy like twenty five I've

477
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: out of twenty seven games or something like that. Nick

478
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: Claxon was a big part of that. Just a skinny, lanky,

479
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: hyper athletic rim protector that could be kind of the

480
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: baseline for their defense. And this guy has theunity. Derek

481
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: has the opportunity to be that type of a foundational

482
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: rim protector for this Dallas team. He needs to improve

483
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: in a bunch of areas and needs to improve in

484
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: free throw shooting, needs to boke up a little bit,

485
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: but I do think he could be the foundation of

486
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: a credible defense next season. So Derek Lively for the

487
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks. I really liked that pick as well. We're

488
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna do a mailbag episode next week on Wednesday, and

489
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: maybe I'll take one or two other prospects. If I

490
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: get enough people asking about it, I'll hit a couple

491
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: more prospects during the mailbag episode. Next week. Also, I'll

492
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: tweet out a tweet asking for questions as well. But

493
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: anything you guys want to talk about next Wednesday, I

494
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: don't care if it has nothing to do with basketball.

495
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Drop it in the comments under this video and we'll

496
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: be doing that mailbag episode next Wednesday. As always, I

497
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: sincerely appreciate you guys. I will see you Monday as

498
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: we break down all the news from the weekend. The

499
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: volume
