Speaker 1: On this episode, he checked it's a Tuesday, and that
Speaker 1: means it's the rookie record. This week, we're checking in
Speaker 1: on some of the rookies in the second round who've
Speaker 1: made some impact this year. There's actually a lot of
Speaker 1: a man, So let's get a move on and drop
Speaker 1: that motherfuckle beat that should be Rihanna, stop being lazy,
Speaker 1: drop me all right. So nikoliosis completely changed the way
Speaker 1: that we look at sex rounders. Right, the best player
Speaker 1: in the NBA, in the world maybe also like top three,
Speaker 1: top five of all time is the forty first pick
Speaker 1: in the draft. The bar at that point gets very,
Speaker 1: very high for MS loving Tim Connolly, who has made
Speaker 1: every executive in the air realize that those second rounders
Speaker 1: have value. So this season, the second rounders have let's
Speaker 1: just say, they haven't covered themselves in glory yet pause,
Speaker 1: like they haven't past years, but there are some really
Speaker 1: good prospects who have started to make a name for themselves.
Speaker 1: We start with the Trailblazers and their forty third pick
Speaker 1: in the draft out of audi and by way of
Speaker 1: the Breakers in New Zealand. I'm talking Ryan or Rupeia.
Speaker 1: It is taking the six six shooting guard a little
Speaker 1: time to acclimate. I mean, he is used to eating croissants,
Speaker 1: but he is starting to get a little run in
Speaker 1: Portland who also Portland has awesome French food, and damn
Speaker 1: he is showing flashes. Over his last four games, Ryan
Speaker 1: Rupea is averaging nearly twenty minutes a game and has
Speaker 1: put up not crazy numbers five, three, and two. But
Speaker 1: he's playing solid defense and people love him. These gms
Speaker 1: around the league of positive things to say about him.
Speaker 1: He's doing this on forty percent from three, which is
Speaker 1: exactly what you want from an athletic, tall, nineteen year
Speaker 1: old prospect. He's apparently very popular on the team as well.
Speaker 1: He's handsome, which speaks well for his future prospects as
Speaker 1: a Blazer. Another clear win for Joe Cronin, who keeps
Speaker 1: stacking w's like their dinner plates in a diner, and
Speaker 1: Miami Heat fans continue to say Joe Cronan sucks. So
Speaker 1: fuck Miami Heat fans. So let's turn now to the
Speaker 1: forty Except for Jonathan Zaslow, we love you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Now we turn to the forty fifth pick in the draft.
Speaker 1: This one's the steel folks. This this one gets you
Speaker 1: forty four slots of value one year early to get
Speaker 1: to steal him. His name is GG Jackson. The Grizzly
Speaker 1: season absolutely tanked to Enjaw, who was suspended the first
Speaker 1: twenty five games of the season went down. But the
Speaker 1: silver lining is that they've played a lot of ton
Speaker 1: a lot of young players, a ton of them, and
Speaker 1: some of them are balling out. Gig Let's be honest,
Speaker 1: has been a revelation once scene as a lottery pick.
Speaker 1: Some argue that he would have been top three last year.
Speaker 1: Uh maybe even top one this year if he hadn't
Speaker 1: left school early. He is putting up some absurd numbers
Speaker 1: since cracking the lineup. Many people thought he should have
Speaker 1: been a lottery pick last year, but it was all
Speaker 1: about his attitude. Can we trust GG? Blah blah blah
Speaker 1: GG size wise is a fucking monster. What is he? Six',
Speaker 1: seven six,' nine, let's see let's check. It out, Six' nine,
Speaker 1: oh my god six' nine point Guard in the last
Speaker 1: in the, last twenty five games he's, averaging twenty five
Speaker 1: minutes fourteen four and one thirty. Seven percent FROM deep that.
Speaker 1: Is nba starter numbers his last game out he put
Speaker 1: up thirty SIX. And three against okc. That is fucking
Speaker 1: insane while, his defense needs work he could put the
Speaker 1: put the, ball. In the hoop folks he basically acts
Speaker 1: as an extra Lottery. Pick for the grizzlies guess what
Speaker 1: happens when he comes off the bench a six man six. Man,
Speaker 1: of the year folks maybe. Want, to take it finally
Speaker 1: we'll move on to the. Steal of THE draft is
Speaker 1: he i. Don't think he is is the fifty seventh
Speaker 1: and Second To Last. Pick trace jackson davis the reason
Speaker 1: that it was the second TO last pick is i
Speaker 1: think there was a second rounder that was, stolen From,
Speaker 1: a Team maybe bulls, Maybe Miami Forget anyway TRACE jackson
Speaker 1: davis tj, d they Call Him went to Golden. State
Speaker 1: Out of indiana jackson davis had a, stretch of Fourteen
Speaker 1: games mostly when draymond, was out through suspension where he
Speaker 1: put up twelve seven and two nearly two stock stock
Speaker 1: stocks a game in just twenty two minutes of play.
Speaker 1: Grant Grown Man numbers trace, jackson davis started, tonight by
Speaker 1: the way, starting at the five and they beat The Hell.
Speaker 1: Out of san antonio his playing time did Go down
Speaker 1: naturally when draymond came back with the skill, level is Coming,
Speaker 1: along not like pajemski. But golly PRETTY good. HE'S an
Speaker 1: nba player, i think for sure probably gonna break into
Speaker 1: the starting lineup in a few years when all these
Speaker 1: dusty antiques That We Call the golden state warriors retire.
