WEBVTT - ROOKIE REPORT: Yves Missi

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>On this episode of the Heat Check, it's time for

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the Rookie Report, your weekly check in on the rookies

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>in the league, how they're doing. We got a week

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>left until Christmas, people, so let's check in with Eve's Missy.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, who is that exactly? Anthony dropped that

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking beat That should be Rihanna. The Rookie of the

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Year race seemed like it was pretty much solidly for

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>one player, and then it was upended when the runaway favorite,

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Jared McCain of the Philadelphia seventy six ers, went down

0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>with a meniscus tear, had surgery, will miss end of time,

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and now is out indefinitely, putting his campaign in jeopardy.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>So now the race is back to being wide open, folks,

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>which is why the second favorite to win right now

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>at plus two twenty five is someone that no one

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>expected in a place that everyone has lost interest in.

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>No one is watching the Big Ease. Uh. To say

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>things have not gone swimmingly in New Orleans would be

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>probably the understatement of the year. Right. You got Zion,

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you got bi you got CJ. McCollum, you got Trey Murphy,

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you got HERB Jones you got Jose Alvarado's among others,

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>among others who have spent significant time on the IR

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>often at the same time. Brendan Ingram is on an

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>expiring He has proven to be untradeable. Now there is

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>not even a timetable for Zion's return. Speculation that the

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Peals might burn down the house is a running rampant

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>because New Orleans sits with the worst record in the

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>NBA on the cusp of Christmas and are twenty sixth

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA in attendance and falling. Remember this is

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the same team that close to the end of the

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>year last year, you could get courtside tickets for the

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 1>price of a smoothie at the Smoothie King Arena. What

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>does a Pelicans fan have going for them to get

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>out of the bed in the morning. Not much this year,

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>with the exception of Eve's Missy real quick, because I

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>forgot to say this joke. Remember also, the Pelicans are

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>so bad with injuries. You got Dison Daniels throwing ricochet

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>shots from the clouds in Atlanta saying I'm so glad

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't work for them anymore. They're cursed. Everybody's got

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a hammy a hip, a knee, an ankle, sheesh. Back

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>to Eve's Missy, I will forgive you if you don't

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>know who he is. That's why I'm here. Six' eleven

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>center out Of, baylor by the, way a camera. Ruin

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>he was born In, belgium moved To, Maryland, california and Then.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Texas he got he's a. Turp, no he's not a,

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>turf but that's what people say From. Maryland he got

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>drafted twenty first overall by The pels last, year and

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>due to the hospital wing that Is New, orleans he

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>has gotten off some serious run a lot earlier than people.

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>Expected and you know, what he's actually pretty damn. Good

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>after somewhat of a slow. Start my Man eves has been.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Cooking in his last ten. Games he's averaging a double

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>double thirteen and, eleven fifty seven percent from the field

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and two point three stocks per, game and a negative

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 1>six point two net, rating which for a team as

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>bad as The pelicans is pretty. GOOD a guy playing

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>for a team has lost nine of those ten games

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>is pretty. Respectable and the crazy thing is the twenty

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>year old just started playing hoops just three years. Ago

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>he has gone from a raw college recruit to AN nba,

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>starter which is fucking insane in two years his. College

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Scott drew said this about him. Recently for someone who's

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>only played basketball for two and a half three, years

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>his future is really. Bright he deserves all the credit

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>for putting in the, work being really. Coachable he's one

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of those guys you only have to show him once

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and he does. It there are so many international centers

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>who come into the league with physical skills to, play

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>but lack either focus or they like drive and missy

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.359
<v Speaker 1>not that he's the opposite of. That he's hustling on

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>both ends of the. Floor he's crashing the, boards he's

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.119
<v Speaker 1>protecting the. Rim Coach Willie green said this After eve's

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>put up eighteen and fourteen with three stocks last week

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>against Wen Beinyamma, time who he actually held for five

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for twelve from the field in a two point. Loss he,

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.679
<v Speaker 1>said the biggest thing About eve's every single, practice shoot around,

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>game he competes at the highest level he. Can he

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>gives you everything he, has starting with that allows him

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to step on the floor and play with the best.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Players perfect example of how hustle and hard work and

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>being from six to Eleven. Cameroon trump's, talent not saying

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>That eaves isn't, talented but he would tell you that

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 1>he is way behind other people when it comes to

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>basketball because of his late. Start how good has he.

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Played he was sixty to one to Win rookie of

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>The year when the league's got, going and they have

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>now dropped him to plus two twenty, five the second

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>favorite to win it. All the biggest knock against him

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.559
<v Speaker 1>is his net rating so far this, season better only

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Than Bub, Carrington ALEX R Kyle philipowski among. Rookies but

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>he plays for a trash, team so you have to expect,

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that and that's a STAT i really wouldn't worry about

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>for a rookie on a trash. Team the best compliment

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.000
