WEBVTT - Polarizing Prospects Entering The NBA Draft 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.800 Another player who I love, who I think is super versatile, big, 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.480 can do a bunch of things. Probably would have scored 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:18.360 a lot more if he didn't play for Houston. As 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.200 Jeris Walker, he is getting mocked a lot to the Pacers. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:26.080 Some people think he'll go earlier, like five six, Some 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.000 people think maybe nine ten. What do you think he 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.680 ends up? Where do you think he ends up going? 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.040 Where do you think his best fit is? 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.760 I think the Pacers is a good fit just defensively 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.720 and what he what he learned at Houston, what he's 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.960 able to do at Houston. Again, Dallas another good fit 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:45.280 that I don't think Dallas. Everybody is mocking lively to Dallas. 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.040 I think there's some grady dicks out there to to Dallas, but. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.680 I don't think they go big. Yeah, I don't know. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.200 I don't know, but that would be that would be 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.720 a killer for Nico Harrison if they don't get some defense. 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:02.120 Yeah, and that's what I'm expecting, like somebody, like somebody 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:06.399 else outside of what everybody's saying. And Walker is somebody 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.200 like that that could fall just because they say, hey, 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.840 we're trying to score, score score the Pacers Like this 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.880 is Rick Carlile was talking about Rick Carlile doesn't care 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.920 about defense. Rick Carlile said, I don't care if you're 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.399 scoring one hundred and ten points. My team was scored 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.560 one hundred and twenty, and so that could be something 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.760 that we're not interested in a walker because of that, 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.360 and that's fine. But if he falls and he gets 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.560 to somebody, like I'm throwing Dallas out here a lot, 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.960 but because I to Dallas, yeah even in you taw, 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.920 you saw a terrible defense as well. Like I'm throwing 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.440 these teams out there, especially Dallas one, because Dallas ten 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:39.080 for a reason. 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.680 I think they put they wanted ten for a reason. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.680 They already been planning this way back before the Knicks 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.520 were even considered at taking their as taking their pick 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.520 if it fell to eleven or anything like that. So 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.760 I think they planned for this and they're going to 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.360 make some type of splashy move. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.080 Everybody thinks it's a big You don't think they'll trade 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.440 that pick. I think they they could. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.960 Like I think that there's so many things, especially with 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.200 you just trading for Kyrie, like you can get something back. 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.680 Remember I talked about teams that are trying to get 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.200 something back. They very well could. But I just think 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.120 Dallas is the team I'm watching out for where I 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.760 think they're gonna do something that nobody expected, whether it's 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.760 trading back, whether it's going and getting a player that 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.560 somebody didn't expect, like a Walker or anybody else that 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.760 we talked about today. Like, I think Dallas is the 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.919 biggest wild card because they just feel like we're playing 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:27.560 with house money. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:28.560 We have Luca Donsis. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:33.480 Yeah, I'm also curious about Grady Dick because boyle boy, 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.560 will this matter where he goes? You know, the fit 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.400 is going to be key, very critical. I've seen him 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.600 as high as being reached for by Orlando. I've seen 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.400 at six. I've seen him getting mocked in the eleventh 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.200 pick to Orlando at six. You think he false? 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.120 Thank you false. I don't know if everybody's why are 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.000 so polarizing. I think it's I think. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.760 It the North American white boy thing. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.480 And it possibly could be if possibly because he's. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.560 Not that athletic, but he's kind of sneaky athletic, which 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:03.320 just means he's white. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.040 And I think Christian Bron just helped him out. I 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.119 think Christian Bron if he gets into the top ten. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.239 I think he definitely should be sending an invoice Christian 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.799 Bron's way, because now they saw what Christian Bron did 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:16.520 in that playoff. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.040 Run, especially in more than Christian Brown can. He is 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.120 a really elite shooter. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.640 And that's what it is, like you're not just so 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.320 if you're getting the toughness and you're getting everything you 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.760 wanted about Christian browny you add somebody that can shoot 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.200 shoot too. Yeah, Like, oh man, I think everybody's going 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.959 to be looking for him do it. But is everybody 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.760 going to take that chance and just being that guy. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.720 The difference between Christian Brown and Grady Dick is that 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.600 you have to kind of hide Grady Dick in your 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.320 defense and you don't for Christian Brown. 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.320 And it's the fact that Broun has low expectations. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.920 If you take Dick top ten, you're gonna expect for 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.880 him to be Tyler he in the bubble thirteen fourteen. Yeah, 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.760 like back end of the lottery. I don't think it's 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.440 that he's not sliding. I'm not going to say like 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.440 he goes all the way to the Lakers at seventeen or. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.960 Anything like that, Like I think Caba steal. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.160 Yeah, one hundred percent. 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.080 But I think he's back in the lottery there and 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.800 he's somewhere around that Ryan, He's not necessarily top. 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:07.800 Oh shof Baji range. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.960 Yeah, maybe maybe a second Orlando pick, so you feel comfortable, 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.320 maybe you don't go Lively's way, or maybe you take 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.200 Lively early because you think that Dick is going to 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.000 fall to you at eleven. Fine, Like I think that's 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.440 a possibility as well. But somebody was just able to 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.880 says that, hey, we can take this chance because all 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.080 these teams up towards the top cannot afford another mess up. Yeah, 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.359 Like there's jobs relying on getting this pick right this 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.480 year because this is such a good draft, and there's 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.200 going to be bust, Like there's going to be busted 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.240 in the top ten people one percent, there's going to 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:42.480 be two, maybe three. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.240 If you're one of those teams. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.320 With the bus, that's your job. Like this is a 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.200 rich draft and you just so happen to draft the bus, 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.880 your livelihood is done. So I don't think people are 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.800 gonna take that chance with a lot of these guys. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.159 So Metropolitan ninety two, everybody's obviously been watching Vic, but 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.679 kid Balal Kolabali. He's really really good, really fun. Max 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.440 have him going as high as nine as low as fifteen. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.320 There's been some hype around Sacramento trying to move up 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.960 to try to get him. I think the vek Rnadive, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.279 the owner of the Kings, went to his game. A 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.680 lot of people were like, why would he go see 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.440 Vic in France? A lot of people think it was 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.520 for blall, like, what do you think he could be? 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.520 Is he the most like I guess mystery. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.680 I think he's the person that somebody trades up and 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.520 they're like, oh, they're trading up, they're going to get 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.919 huh yeah wo, Like that's really what it's going to be. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.600 And I think you know when you come. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.279 Like Kuzman Jang was last year, it was okay, see. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.000 Yes, yes, exactly where it's like you going and get 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.480 ear drafted that guy like who And it's the guy 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.640 that's not on everybody's radar. But it's because Big Vic 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.760 is just so polarizing. Nobody pays attention to the other 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.520 guys around that team. Like as good as he is, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.640 he was not the reason why they won games, like 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.800 a bunch of games. I guess everybody else that came 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.760 and helped them out, and so especially when they came 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.000 over here, I think it was Las Vegas, what was 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.919 and they played against G League Knight Like that was 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.119 a chance for a lot of people to open their eyes. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.120 So I think he's one of those guys that can 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.960 go kind of a trade. Maybe a Kings team does 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.839 trade up and go get him, or somebody else does 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.279 trade up and go get him, and everybody's like, oh, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.720 scratching their head, and then you look two three years 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.480 down the line and you're like, that was a really really. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:22.040 Great trade in the one. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.599 Yeah, the Hawks of the fifteenth pick, that would be interesting. 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.760 I think the Hawks are the Hawks could be we'll see. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.480 They traded away a lot of picks for de Johnson Murray. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.479 But they got to get this one right. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.120 Trey Young could be out the door. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.880 And I'm waiting for something big to happen between now 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.000 and Thursday, maybe even on Thursday. I'm waiting for something big. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.279 I don't know what it is, but it just feels 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.080 like the Bradley Beal thing was a tease. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.960 That was the Te's move. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.159 Draymond Green not taking his player option that was a 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.760 Te's move, But it feels like something big is around 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.280 the corner where you're gonna have a star move for 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.880 a pick and some team is gonna buy into the 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.279 youth movement or just changing that team around. And Quinn Snyder, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.920 who won the Hawks, are not afraid to make changes 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.680 because I don't think I can remember a coach coming. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.920 In middle of a season. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.840 Yeah, coaching, like coaching full on coaching mid season. Now 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.080 he has an offseason to kind of playing things out. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:22.600 Does he want Tray Young around? 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.360 It? Is that? The like? 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.680 Is that the fit? I know we talked about a 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.600 lot of mock situations, and I mean the Lakers do 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.120 have seventeen. Yeah, seventeen is still a valuable pick in 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.960 this draft. So could there be a situation where somebody 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.720 anywhere says that, hey, we're gonna take Trey Young and 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.760 we'll give you one of our first round picks. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.280 You think Trey Young only gets one first round pick. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.480 I mean it's gonna be one one of many, Like 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.239 they're gonna get a haul for him. But a pick 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.280 in this draft is one hundred percent in a come. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.000 So is it gonna be Try Young? I know I'm 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.720 not saying it's gonna be Trey Young. But I think 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.640 there is a possibility that a star from some somebody 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:04.440 some where moves prior to draft and give somebody like 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.560 a player like anybody we talked through through this lottery, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.400 because this is a rich draft, and I think the 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.960 owners and the gms and everybody in basketball sees it 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.600 and says, hey, we may not have like a superstar, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.640 but we're gonna have some really, really good players that 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.200 are going to help us compete for championships in the future. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.760 Yeah, And we saw with Denver. Role players, especially role 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.960 players that can play defense, are so critical. If you've 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.680 got two guys one obviously that's a big man that 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.480 can pass like Jokic, and a secondary score like Jamal Murray, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.760 what you need is to fill in the gaps. What's 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.880 up with Taylor Hendrix? Like, what's up with them? I 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.559 think he's because no one is talking about him, but 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.600 he's smocked in every top being in the top ten. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.120 He's gonna be in the top ten? 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.760 Is he not the least talked about top ten player? 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.160 It's either him or Walker? Yeah, I think it's either 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.800 him or Walker. I think those are the two guys 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.440 that people kind of like. I don't know what this 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.920 guy looks like, but I heard he's a really good basketball. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.080 We're just gonna go ahead and go with that. But 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.480 Hendricks is interesting because I think he kind of fits 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.880 the mold and he's gonna be one of those guys 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.440 that you're gonna take him in the top ten and 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.640 you're gonna understand that he's he might not be a 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.840 starter for you, but he's gonna be a very very 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.199 good bench piece. And I think he Like That's why 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.760 I'm like, there's so much trade potential here, because if 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.280 you're a contender, like you want somebody in this draft 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.360 just to fill out that bitch, Like imagine if Phoenix 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.959 had some type of trade capital. Yeah, and they're sitting 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.119 there saying, man. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:33.040 We. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.360 Would like anybody to come play on the bench for us, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.839 Like there's so many Denver. So the funny thing about 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.960 the parade with Denver is that Mike Malone was saying, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.760 but he's Bruce Brown went back, I would probably say 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:54.520 that his age. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.680 I would never sign with his agent. And Bruce Brown 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:57.400 signed another deal with. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.600 The different because the amount that Bruce Brown can get 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.880 on the O deal was. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:02.600 A terrible one. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.800 Yes, they said this deal was a terrible deal and 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.120 he should have never signed it. Now hindsight looks amazing 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.720 because he has a ring and now he's gonna. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.439 Come in so much. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.160 I don't know if Malone was and if I was 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:19.720 looking at Bruce Brown's reaction like. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.680 Like I'm going to go get a bag like twelve. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.880 Yeah, I can be a starter on many other teams, 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.840 Like so Denver is another one that And I was 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:27.719 talking about you on. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:29.800 The other show. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.760 Yes, I was talking to you about that, Like Denver 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.080 is gonna need the reload that defensive position. So would 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.160 it be surprising if Denver's finds some some type of 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.200 capital and says I know that during the finals they 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.240 had a swap with OKC and they and they did 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.560 a pick swap with OKC or something like that, Like 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.559 Denver could move up and be trying to go on 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.880 to the next level and saying, hey, we're gonna take 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.240 one of these, one of these top fifteen guys and 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.360 we're gonna make them our six man second that. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:02.280 You give your pick up in the fifteen. Yeah, I 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.040 am curious though. Also I like Jalen Huschafino a lot. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.760 He's kind of a kid who could be like somewhere 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.880 in the like eighteen to twenty. I've seen him as 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.400 going as high as ten, which is kind of crazy. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.040 I don't think that's gonna happen. I'll be he's six six, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.080 He can play good defense, he can do a bunch 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.040 of different things high IQ does a lot of interesting 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.040 training and conditioning that shows me that he cares about 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.880 his body mechanics, like his hit mobility's insane, which I 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.079 think is really important for basketball players at this next 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.880 level with this modern NBA. Like where do you think 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:35.480 he goes? 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.319 I think he And this is another one where. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.719 Like would this be a Warrior Like would this be a. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:44.280 Warriors it pick? 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.760 It feels like it could be a Warrior's pick, and 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:51.080 just of we need some type of defense on the road. 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.320 Yeah, Like literally we get rid of Jordan Poole and 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:54.600 we add in Yeah. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.120 And you get a defender. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:00.400 And then if you're Steve Currin Warriors, you feel comfortable 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.080 about anybody's offense and saying we can get the best 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.520 out of anybody on offense, like we can get something 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.440 out of everybody, even Gary Pack in the second like 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.080 he wasn't known highly for his offense. It was really 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.400 just the defensive side of ball. But you look at 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.880 him on Golden State and he has games where he 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.760 can get it going from three where he can move 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.040 off ball and the off ball movement. You have to 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.080 be willing to move off ball if you're not able 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.760 to do that, if you're not conditioned. And that's what 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.280 I think I like about him is that fact that 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.800 he is conditioned, because that's like what Steve Kirr does 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.080 the entire workout Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards said about his 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.880 Steve Kirr workout and was like, Oh, I did all 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.880 this running. He was like, Oh, you're tired already. Steph 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.320 does this like for a warm up, like you're really tired. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.839 Like I know He's doing that with every player, not 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:44.880 just Anthony Edwards. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.880 So I think that it could be a Warriors. If 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:48.880 a Warriors don't. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.880 Trade up and go make like a splash play, they 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.280 could go for somebody a safe option like that, come 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.560 off the bench. You don't need stardom, you have stardom 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.120 in Golden State. You just need somebody to come off 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.800 the mention play defense. And guess what if Draymond Green 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.839 werew is gone. I don't think he's gone. I think 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.920 I think he comes back. I think it was just 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.880 something to give the Warriors more flexibility to make this 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.839 a championship roster because Draymond's a team. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:09.920 It takes less now and. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.679 Draymond's a team played like everybody wants to make it 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.079 seem like Draymond's only out for himself. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.839 He's really I mean fifteen this year, twenty the next year, 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.280 forty the year after that. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.200 I truly believe contracts are a figment of an imagination, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.400 like especially more in the NFL than the NBA, but 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.400 definitely in an NBA when it comes to these player 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.080 options and just saying all right, we're going to decline 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.960 his player option, but we're still going to resign you. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.400 We're going to resign you for less money. And we've 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.400 seen a number of players do that. There was talk 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.760 of Chris Paul going back, and there's still there's still 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.360 talks of Chris Paul's finding somehow to end his way 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.520 back up in Phoenix because the Wizards probably aren't gonna 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:44.760 hold on some if they don't trade. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:45.959 Him, if they have to cut them, then he might 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.000 just end up back there. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.920 And so it's like everybody's taking vet minimums and feels 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.600 comfortable and like we made enough money. We just want 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.440 to try to win championships. You don't see that as 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:56.800 much in the NFL, but you see it a lot 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.000 more in the NBA. So I think that Draymond could 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.040 his way back. So does that take away from a 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.960 guy like Jas or somebody else coming in defensively? Possibly, 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.560 but if not, I think he would be a good 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.880 fit and a good not not saying replacement, but just 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.679 somebody to help add to that side. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:13.920 Of the ball. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.440 Another couple teammates too are I don't know what the 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.280 difference is between them. I personally like Kobe Buffkin more 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.120 than I like Jet Howard. I think he'll get taken 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.440 before Jet Howard. What do you think the biggest difference 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.160 is between them? Instead? Except for the size, right like 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.520 Jet Howard, I think is six seven six eight Kobe 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.360 Bufkins five or six' five sixty. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.480 SIX i Think Kobe buffkin has the higher, floor But 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.840 Jet Hired howard has the higher. Ceiling howard could very 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.880 well be one of the top players in the draft 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.840 when it's all sat and, tight, really but it's in terms, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.680 YES i think, so just in terms of scoring playmaking 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.880 all this other. Stuff he very well, could but it 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.280 depends on one development development fit like. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:55.280 That that's so many. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.400 Things and that's the thing WHERE i kind OF i 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.360 really hate when teams just go best available because it's 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.520 like best available might not be good for. You like 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.400 that's the whole on that debate That charlotte is having right. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.680 Now are we going best available With Scoot henderson or 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.640 are we taking the best fit With Brandon? Miller is 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.440 the gap large between? Them absolutely. Not But Brandon miller 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.480 is clearly a better fit for them With LaMelo handling the, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.640 Ball But Scoot henderson could be. Generational AND i ULTIMATELY 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.360 i think that they make the wrong mistake and they 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.040 go With scoop instead Of. Miller WHILE i do think, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.160 AGAIN i Think scoot is the better, player but is 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.320 he a better player For charlotte may not. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.280 Be QUESTION i have for you. Though following up on that, 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.280 is if You're, charlotte what can you get For LaMelo 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.120 right now in the open. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.400 Market, oh you could get The House Moon, stars whatever you. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.320 Want you can't for the third overall or for the 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.520 second overall. Pick so what you could do is just 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.200 Take scoot and then you Trade, LaMelo you haven't played, 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.000 together and then when you need, to you Move LaMelo 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.240 for four first round. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:55.960 Picks especially if you don't Think LaMelo is going to. 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.440 RESIGN i think that's like the conversation that teams are, 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.280 having and that was the conversation when they first drafted, Him, 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.440 like Is LaMelo is this just the one rookie contract 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.560 pony And LaMelo dips off to a larger market like possibly, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.640 So and that's ultimately WHAT i think kind of happens. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.560 HERE i think it is a situation and we're talking long, 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:21.160 Term like there's some dynasty basketball players that are listening and, like, 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:22.800 Oh i'm loving it is BECAUSE i would love to 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.080 See LaMelo move on to a bigger market or a different. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.040 Team but, LIKE i think that's ultimately the Conversation charlotte is. 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.560 Having what's our chances of Retaining? Melo because while we 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.120 do get the incentives Of max Super maats contracts for 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.840 staying with your team original, team but if he is 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.280 on the, move school is a very good replacement for 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:42.880 when we don't have. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:44.320 Him one what Is LaMelo's? 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.960 Availability, again best ability is availability and he may not be, 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.480 There So scoot could be that for them as, well 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.200 or do you just buy in all in On LaMelo 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.520 being A Charlotte. Hornet if you're buying all in on, 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.520 that you Go Brandon. MILLER i know we kind of 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.560 got on our tangent and talking about these, two but 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.800 like that is just The it just THERE'S i don't remember. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.479 The last time that such a big decision has been. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.720 Made it too normally it's just plug and, play go with, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.280 It John, morant, Easy like you're gonna you're Taking John. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:11.800 Moran you're not questioning. R. J. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.480 Berry, like it's not one of those situations you really 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.280 got to think. Through this Is LaMelo a hornet for long? 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.359 Term if, no you're Going. Scoop if, so you're Going Brandon. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.600 Miller all, Right so outside of players outside of the top, 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.120 three and who do you, think well outside of the 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.359 who do you think is the biggest riser in this? 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:33.320 Draft Besides? 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.679 Nick Besides i'm, Sorry i'm all soome so we're. 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.919 Gonna take him. Off who do you think is the 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.640 biggest surprise fall and rise outside Of? Nicks? 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:48.840 Men the biggest FALL i think IS. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.240 I think it's Potentially Grady dick just BECAUSE i DON'T 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.760 i don't know if teams are one hundred percent bought 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.840 into making it work instead of just they like there's 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.200 so many scenes that just want to kind of plug and. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:04.680
