WEBVTT - ROOKIE REPORT: Second-round studs starting to show out

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>On this episode, he checked it's a Tuesday, and that

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>means it's the rookie record. This week, we're checking in

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>on some of the rookies in the second round who've

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>made some impact this year. There's actually a lot of

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>a man, So let's get a move on and drop

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>that motherfuckle beat that should be Rihanna, stop being lazy,

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>drop me all right. So nikoliosis completely changed the way

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that we look at sex rounders. Right, the best player

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA, in the world maybe also like top three,

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>top five of all time is the forty first pick

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.959
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. The bar at that point gets very,

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.959
<v Speaker 1>very high for MS loving Tim Connolly, who has made

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>every executive in the air realize that those second rounders

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>have value. So this season, the second rounders have let's

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>just say, they haven't covered themselves in glory yet pause,

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>like they haven't past years, but there are some really

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>good prospects who have started to make a name for themselves.

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>We start with the Trailblazers and their forty third pick

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in the draft out of audi and by way of

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the Breakers in New Zealand. I'm talking Ryan or Rupeia.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>It is taking the six six shooting guard a little

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>time to acclimate. I mean, he is used to eating croissants,

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>but he is starting to get a little run in

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Portland who also Portland has awesome French food, and damn

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>he is showing flashes. Over his last four games, Ryan

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Rupea is averaging nearly twenty minutes a game and has

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>put up not crazy numbers five, three, and two. But

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>he's playing solid defense and people love him. These gms

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>around the league of positive things to say about him.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>He's doing this on forty percent from three, which is

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you want from an athletic, tall, nineteen year

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>old prospect. He's apparently very popular on the team as well.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>He's handsome, which speaks well for his future prospects as

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a Blazer. Another clear win for Joe Cronin, who keeps

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>stacking w's like their dinner plates in a diner, and

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Miami Heat fans continue to say Joe Cronan sucks. So

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>fuck Miami Heat fans. So let's turn now to the

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>forty Except for Jonathan Zaslow, we love you. I'm sorry.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Now we turn to the forty fifth pick in the draft.

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 1>This one's the steel folks. This this one gets you

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>forty four slots of value one year early to get

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to steal him. His name is GG Jackson. The Grizzly

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>season absolutely tanked to Enjaw, who was suspended the first

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty five games of the season went down. But the

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.399
<v Speaker 1>silver lining is that they've played a lot of ton

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of young players, a ton of them, and

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>some of them are balling out. Gig Let's be honest,

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>has been a revelation once scene as a lottery pick.

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Some argue that he would have been top three last year.

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh maybe even top one this year if he hadn't

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>left school early. He is putting up some absurd numbers

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>since cracking the lineup. Many people thought he should have

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>been a lottery pick last year, but it was all

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>about his attitude. Can we trust GG? Blah blah blah

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>GG size wise is a fucking monster. What is he? Six',

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>seven six,' nine, let's see let's check. It out, Six' nine,

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>oh my god six' nine point Guard in the last

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>in the, last twenty five games he's, averaging twenty five

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>minutes fourteen four and one thirty. Seven percent FROM deep that.

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Is nba starter numbers his last game out he put

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>up thirty SIX. And three against okc. That is fucking

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>insane while, his defense needs work he could put the

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>put the, ball. In the hoop folks he basically acts

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>as an extra Lottery. Pick for the grizzlies guess what

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>happens when he comes off the bench a six man six. Man,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>of the year folks maybe. Want, to take it finally

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll move on to the. Steal of THE draft is

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>he i. Don't think he is is the fifty seventh

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>and Second To Last. Pick trace jackson davis the reason

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that it was the second TO last pick is i

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>think there was a second rounder that was, stolen From,

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a Team maybe bulls, Maybe Miami Forget anyway TRACE jackson

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:29.000

<v Speaker 1>put up twelve seven and two nearly two stock stock

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.960
