23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: a shirt with my Lord, the pit stains on that thing?

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 6: Do you learn.

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 7: That's not pitch Danes?

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: Maybe it might be that Ryan, how do you have pitstains?

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 7: Hey, I've been up since seven. I've been on a

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: just ran a marathon, you may need to go see

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 4: a doctor. Shannon the dude is back in Louisville. Am

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: I missing anybody? Who? Omar? Is Mario with you, guys?

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 7: And No, he's at a big bracket reveal for the

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 7: TBT tournament. He's going to give us the the deats

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 7: a little bit later in the show.

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: And he went to his first press conference yesterday, right,

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: he did even asked a question.

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: I mean it was it's kind of the Mario show

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: in there for a little bit. Very proud of him.

41
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: That is that is really a big deal. All right,

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: So we got a lot going on today. Obviously, the

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: draft is tonight. Two Kentucky guys going in the lottery.

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk a lot about Reid. I mean, this

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: is what an amazing leap to go from where he

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: was to where he's going to be tonight. He flew

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: up throughout the first pitch at the Yankees Mets game

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: last night. Yeah, he is just getting ready to take

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: the world by storm if he hasn't already. Big picture

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: draft conversation, I mean, we'll get in to read and

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: Rob obviously plenty. But in addition to that, friend for Schilla,

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: who knows the international players like nobody else in basketball,

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: is going to join us at the bottom of this

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: first hour, got to give us his take on the

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: on the draft. What he thinks about about the Kentucky guys,

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: but what he thinks about the draft overall guys. I'm

57
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: in Atlanta. They have a number one overall pick. There

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: is zero buzz in this town. Zero And I don't

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 4: think it's because people don't like the Hawks. I think

60
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: generally you'd be excited about the number one pick. But

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: there is no Zion, there is no like, there's no

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: clear cut this guy's gonna be a superstar. There's no

63
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: Victor Rembanyama. So I think all that needs to be

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: kind of broken down. What else are we gonna do today?

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about the scariest what are we doing?

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 4: You tweeted it out, didn't Ryan?

67
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 7: You put it in your game note scariest amusement parks.

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: So I thought you were scariest amusement park rides because

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: we had as a kid, I went on that still

70
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: terrifies me.

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 6: And Mark.

72
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: Pope had his big press conference yesterday, So Drew, what

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: was your biggest takeaway? Like, what did we learn about

74
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: Kentucky basketball yesterday that we didn't already know?

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: We had a lot from Pope yesterday with so much

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: going on. He talked for almost thirty minutes. If you're online,

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: you know that the biggest takeaway is he had cookies.

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: I know that has been played up more than it

79
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: should have, but they were the most photographed cookies in

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: the history of Kentucky basketball. Because if there were forty

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: people there, all forty of them took a picture of

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: the cookies that Pope provided for the media. I was

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: just a refreshing touch for his first press conference. But

84
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: for the other stuff, they had just finished their six practice.

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: He didn't reveal a whole lot of what's going on there.

86
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: They're installing, you know, his system. But I found it

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: interesting he said that Jackson Robinson will already interrupt him

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: and tell guys, hey, this is what he means. Now

89
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: we're supposed to do this, and he's already had of

90
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: taking a leadership role and explaining things there. But overall

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: it was just really good and hearing from him. He

92
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: told his his draft story from ninety six when he

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: got picked, and Rick Patino was on the set saying

94
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: he was holding his rosary for ten picks hoping Pope

95
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: would go, and he went at the end of the

96
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: second round. That was a fun story to hear. But

97
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: overall it was just refreshing to hear from Mark Pope. Again.

98
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: He's been a busy man, but we're gonna get used

99
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 3: to hearing him in those press conferences more regularly.

100
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: I say one of my big takeaways yesterday with Mario

101
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 4: at the basketball tournament unveiling today we'll have the tvt

102
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: information later in the show we're getting with tickets. I

103
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: think I'm doing that whole thing yes, is that the

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: current team is going to practice against the Lat Famili,

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: a team that I've never heard of. That that's amazing.

106
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 4: I mean, I've heard about alums coming through and getting

107
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: some run in and playing in the summertime. But Ryan,

108
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 4: that seems like a big deal. That seems like a

109
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: really cool scenario, Like you could sell tickets to that

110
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: and sell out rough.

111
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: I love this idea.

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 7: And for the guys on the tv T team, it's

113
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 7: gonna make them feel like they're still a part of

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 7: the program. They're still in the in the family, so

115
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 7: to speak. So I you're right, I want to go.

116
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 7: I want to watch that scrimmage more than I do.

117
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 7: Maybe a TBT game to see these guys play our

118
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 7: current players, that could be an awesome event.

119
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really cool. The players on the LOFF amiliar

120
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: that are the rosters that stands Eric led Sel, Daniel Orton,

121
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: Lamb Teague, Calli Young, Andrew Harrison, Reravis, Nate Sestina, Kellen Grady.

122
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: There's some not only is there some talent, but there's

123
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: some big dudes who can bang on that squad like

124
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: there's some size inside.

125
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: I like that. It also just keeps the bridge going,

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: you know, there's we don't want a Caliperry player divide

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: the NBA thing into the Pope era. I love that

128
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: we talked a little about this yesterday with all the

129
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: Caliperi guys. There are already a lot of them met Pope.

130
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: They're reaching out and then having twelve former cow guys

131
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: that were NBA stars practiced against them. I just I

132
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: like that they're keeping that connection going.

133
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: That's really cool. And the advice that they have to

134
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: those guys about what they've experienced as well, Yeah, I

135
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: think is im measurely valuable. Speaking of which, tonight is

136
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: Night one of the NBA Draft. It is now two nights.

137
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 4: Apparently it used to be two nights like years ago,

138
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 4: back before I remember it ever being two nights, but

139
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 4: it is now two nights. Shannon, Do we need two

140
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: nights of the NBA Draft or is this overkill?

141
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

142
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: I feel like it's overkill. I feel like you can

143
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: do it in one night. But I guess it gives

144
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: us something to look forward to. It's the summer. There's

145
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: not a whole lot going on unless you're a baseball fan.

146
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: What else are you gonna watch sports related on a

147
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: summer night?

148
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm okay with it.

149
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: I guess going to two nights maybe gives them a

150
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: chance to get more advertising, make more money.

151
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about, right, Drew.

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: He said, baseball fans like it was an insult. I mean,

153
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: I got around here.

154
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: I love baseball.

155
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm a huge Braves fan, as this drew, but I

156
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: feel like there's less and less of us that exist.

157
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: Well, that might be the case. I can't even watch

158
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: Braves games at my home here in Atlanta because of

159
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: the Comcast dispute. So that's a that's a different story, Drew.

160
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 7: More to go ahead, Ryan, Well, you mentioned it, but

161
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 7: we do want to hear about your Braves experience last

162
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 7: week when you were doing the Brave game.

163
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I had to miss

164
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 4: the show because we had a day game Wednesday. It

165
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: was Braves and Tigers, so I was in the booth

166
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: with Joe Simpson for three games. It was awesome. Radio, like,

167
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: whether it's this show or games, radio is so simple,

168
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: and dare I say easy relative to TV, where there's

169
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: like a bunch of cooks in the kitchen and there's

170
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: fifty people in the truck and you have advanced meetings

171
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: and stuff. Our advanced meeting for this show is a

172
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: text with some very inappropriate images that Ryan I noticed

173
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: nobody responded to because nobody, nobody run on to do

174
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: that caught no plausible deniability is that I'm not a lawyer.

175
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: I didn't go to Duke law school. Plausible deniability. Just

176
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: just ignore it. Uh No, it was a lot of fun.

177
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: It was a ton of fun. Just soon I knew

178
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: from my TV time, you know, talking with Brian Snicker,

179
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: a little bit of time in the clubhouse, and I

180
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: don't know, man, there's just something of what I love

181
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: about my job, just as much as anything is being

182
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: in a ballpark or an arena when it's basically empty,

183
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: gates aren't open, nobody else is there. A lot of

184
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: the media hasn't even shown up. Maybe there's some guys

185
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: down on the field getting some early work in. But

186
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: the peacefulness of a major league stadium, when you're just

187
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: in there getting some work done and you look out

188
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: at this incredible workplace like that, that is just so

189
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: cool to me. That was a lot of fun. And Drew,

190
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: your braves are playing well.

191
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was shanning our braves. That's what I was

192
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: gonna bring up before you did that series. We're kind

193
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: of in a bad spot, a little bit of a funk.

194
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: It wasn't that a sweep that you call? How do

195
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: we get you for every game? Yeah? Get you on

196
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: the team plane. We need you everywhere if you're gonna

197
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: be the magic that's gonna get us Braves back on

198
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: the winning track.

199
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: Shannon three and oh, I mean that's pretty big deal.

200
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

201
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 6: Man.

202
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: You lived out like a childhood fantasy of mine to

203
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: be able to call a game with Joe Simpson. I mean,

204
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: you know, if you're a Braves fan, you grew up

205
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: watching TBS. You know Joe Simpson, Don Sutton, Skip, carry

206
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: all those Pete Van Wearing. You know, a lot of

207
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: those guys have already passed on. But that's a cool

208
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: opportunity that you had to call a game with Joe Simpson.

209
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: So one of the coolest I'm glad you brought that up.

210
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: One of the coolest moments I had when I was

211
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: working TV for the Braves was I think it was John.

212
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: They put John Smolton in the Braves Hall of Fame

213
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: and Pete Van Wearing emceed the event. And I was

214
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: walking down to the field before the game, and I

215
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: was in the tunnel and here comes Pete Van Wearing

216
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 4: walking the other way, and I stuck up my hand

217
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 4: and I introduced myself and said, I'm you know, a

218
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: huge fan of your work, and he goes, come on, Tom,

219
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: I know who you are. And I was like, I

220
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: was in the big leagues, Like you don't have to

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: do that. Awesome, But here's a funny story about what

222
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: happened in the booths. So in the Braves radio booth,

223
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 4: they've got some really cool paraphernalia up, you know, some

224
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: championship stuff here and there whatever, And on one sidewall

225
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 4: our cardboard cutouts of Skip, Pete and Don and Joe

226
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: Simpson was telling me the story that just a week

227
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: earlier was Ernie Johnson's Seniors would have been his one

228
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: hundredth birthday. Uh, the dad Ernie Johnson Junior, who both

229
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: played for the Braves and broadcast Braids games for a

230
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: number of years, And they were talking about Benningham was

231
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: talking about Ernie Johnson's one hundredth birthday, and the cardboard

232
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: cutout of Skip fell off the wall like it's haunted, right, yeah,

233
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 4: sign he's here there and they're listening and they're still

234
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: a part of this and it was a fun story.

235
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: So the third game of the series, in between innings,

236
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: I was telling Joe a story that I think I

237
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: told you guys before It's not really an on air story,

238
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: but it was one of the biggest flubs I had

239
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: occurred my first night on the air calling minor league baseball.

240
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: And it came about because I had listened to the

241
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: Braves game on my walkman on the bus ride to Charleston,

242
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: South Carolina before this game, and Skip said, you know,

243
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: Chipper got jammed, and Pete explained it with two seamer

244
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 4: ran in on his hands, and I mashed those phrases

245
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: together and it came out to something very inappropriate, and

246
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: I told that story in between innings off air. The

247
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: next half inning begins and we're like a batter into

248
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: the inning and Pete falls off the wall.

249
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's trying to send you a signal be careful

250
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 7: a little.

251
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 6: Tommy.

252
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think it was a signal that, like they're listening,

253
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: they'll always be a part of that yep. And it's

254
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: cool to be part of that history. Hey, I was

255
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 4: listening the other day and you did the newly what game?

256
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 7: Yes, did you hear that with Billy and Shannon?

257
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: I thought it was great. So I thought there's a

258
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: lot that I don't know about you guys, and there's

259
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: a lot that you don't know about me. So when

260
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 4: we come back, let's play the Love Connection with some

261
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: Tom Hart details.

262
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: What do you think? I love it?

263
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 7: I love this idea. Yeah, give us give me a

264
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 7: minute to jot down some of my questions.

265
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: No, no, I have the questions.

266
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 7: Oh you have the question?

267
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: Answer I thought we were.

268
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 7: I got yes, All right, show prep.

269
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: The only question we'll go to break here in a

270
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: second is what what prize does the winner get? So

271
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: we'll think about that during a break. I gotta think, like,

272
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: maybe something from my prize closet, right, like maybe this

273
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: Royals towel or the University of Miami hat. Those are

274
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 4: all terrible ideas, but we'll think of something.

275
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 7: The Golden Team machine behind your shoulder, with the Golden

276
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 7: Team machine.

277
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: There's no there's no chance you're getting my golden tem

278
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 4: Just stop right now, no chance, Shannon. Can I go

279
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: to break? Now, let's want to come back. Let's all right,

280
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: let's go to break. We'll play Love Connection or Newlywed

281
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: Game or Price is Right or whatever you want to

282
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: call it. Return. You're listening to Kentucky Sports Radio. That

283
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: is just the perfect, absolute perfect soundtrack to this. Ryan,

284
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 4: You've been the MC for this before, like, how do

285
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 4: we play the newly went game?

286
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 7: Well, you have to introduce your your participants first. You

287
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 7: know the Flowery you know joining us now from Atlanta.

288
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 7: He's tall, he's single, he likes to mingle, He's Tom

289
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 7: Hart something like that.

290
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: Was really good.

291
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 6: That was.

292
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: Really good. Okay. I picked out a few questions. The

293
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: first one you guys probably don't know the answer to.

294
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 4: But I think every other question I have here I

295
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: have shared with you as a group at some point. So, okay,

296
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: either I've guest hosted, or we've hung out or whatever.

297
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: I think I've shared all of this information with you

298
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 4: at some point. Okay, except for the first one, but

299
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: I'll get to it. Okay, So I'm gonna go kind

300
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: of chronological life order. Okay, Number one was born in Columbia, Missouri.

301
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: That reside Columbia's in the county that shares the same

302
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: name as a county in Kentucky. Ryan, you go first,

303
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: What is that county?

304
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Washington, Tom Drew.

305
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: What is the name of the county that also shares

306
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: a county name with a county in Kentucky?

307
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: I will say Heart County.

308
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: Great guess, but that is incorrect. Once you hear the

309
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 4: name of it, you'll be like, oh, yeah, that that

310
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: that makes perfect sense. Shannon, what is an name of

311
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: the county I was born in? That also is the

312
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: name of the county inconduct.

313

317
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 7: cheating looking up on the Google machine. He pulls stuff

318
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 7: out of his rear sometimes like that just amazes me.

319
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: I mean, Daniel Boone spent some time like everywhere like that. Yeah,

320

324
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,200

327
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,880

00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: Oh, he's a little bit older than me.

334
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,640

379
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: jobs I called football with a a former player who's

380
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 4: now an athletic director in the SEC. Oh, who was Ryan?

384
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 7: go with John Cohen.

385
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,679

Speaker 3: Who gave him the laughing gas? What is wrong with you?

471
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: Because he's such a big cheater. Just listen to Tom.

472
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: He's told all these stories on the air before. Clearly

473
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: you don't listen to the guy, or you would have

474
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: known the answers.

475
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 4: I feel disrespected. I know you, I mean you. I'm

476
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: trying to develop this relationship Ryan, and you just don't

477
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 4: listen to a single thing I say.

478
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 7: Well, the integrity of the game has been compromised by

479
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 7: Shannon's cheating on the Google machine about the only thing

480
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 7: you can google?

481
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: Those answers. I have our tweet of the day while

482
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: we're talking about it. Where did it go? There's so

483
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: many tweeted the day, Travis says Travis Travi g says

484
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: Shannon is never beating these Google allegations. Never.

485
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: No, I don't know how you could google those things.

486
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: Well you found a way they got like access to

487
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: the dark web. Yeah, that has all the Tom Hard's information.

488
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: I can just google it anytime.

489
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah that listen. Like the unicorn thing that is not

490
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: easily findable, and I was making the questions, I double checked.

491
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 4: I was like, wait, was it really a unicorn? And

492
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 4: I had to go like way down the Google page

493
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 4: to find it. The only the person who would be

494
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: better is our guy, Corey Price, who's out there tweeting

495
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 4: out my senior year high school picture and how he

496
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 4: has access to all of my stuff is like scary.

497
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 7: Oh that one day he tweeted out pictures of from

498
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 7: your yearbook where you were on the debate team or

499
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 7: the speech team, or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes team

500
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 7: or the basketball team. You had all these pictures of

501
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 7: you in all these different organizations and in the lunch

502
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 7: room goofing off.

503
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: Amazing. I mean it's what you can find. What he

504
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 4: can find is yeah, next level. Okay, we're trying to

505
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: get We're trying to get fran On to talk draft.

506
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a big night for Reed Shepherd and

507
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 4: the Shepherd family. It's gonna be a big night for

508
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 4: Rob Dillingham. I'm really excited about this evolution in my

509
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 4: mind of Reed Shepherd as now a guy's going to

510
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 4: become a household name nationally. Right, obviously he is within

511
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 4: the Commonwealth. But I remember early in the season it

512
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 4: was a Saint Joseph's game, and I was familiar with

513
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: Reid's high school experience, but not how good he was

514
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: or how athletic he was. And I was saying with

515
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: Billy Lang, who's the head coach at Saint Joseph's, And

516
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 4: this was before the game, this was before we played

517
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: against him, And obviously college coaches see all these guys

518
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 4: come through the circuit. They see him on the recruiting trail,

519
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 4: so he was familiar with them. And I brought up

520
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 4: a couple of comps to Billy, and I think I

521
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 4: discussed this during the game, but I may not have.

522
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: And I said, listen, you were an assistant with the

523
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 4: Sixers for a long time, and you saw TJ. McConnell

524
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: and you coached JJ Reddick, and I know it's easy

525
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 4: to go like white guy to white guy, comp but

526
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: with our eyes, it's just something that a lot of

527
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 4: sports fans do. Whether it's right or wrong, I don't know,

528
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 4: but that's how my brain works a lot of times.

529
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: Give me a small, smallish guard and how does he

530
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: match up with those two guys? Yeah, and Billy like

531
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: started laughing. He's like, dude, he's way more, way more

532
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 4: on it because I asked him, I said, could he

533
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: play point guard at that level? And he's like, he's

534
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: way more athletic, teaching, way more and he's probably just

535
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 4: as good a shooter right now as JJ Reddick was

536
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 4: at this point. And that blew my mind, Like that

537
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 4: was the first inclination, Like, Okay, this guy's way better

538
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: than I thought, Drew, what do you think happens tonight?

539
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: And how does we just had a trade? The Rockets

540
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 4: just made a trade yesterday. There may be more trades coming.

541
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 4: Rockets have a third pick. That's where many assume Read

542
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: is going to go all the mocks. How do you

543
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 4: view it?

544
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: I've been thinking that for a long time. We heard

545
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: from just Rocket fans or Rocket scouts that be a

546
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: games that they're interested in Read. In the middle of

547
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: the season, it's been very heavy Read to Rockets. Even

548
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: after the year, the latest projections have read to the Rockets.

549
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: I think barring another trade. There's even today talking more

550
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: trading and kind of Durant blowing up everything. But as

551
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 3: long as Durant doesn't blow up what they're doing at

552
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: number three, I don't think. I don't think Reid gets

553
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: past them, I really don't. I'm excited for him too,

554
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: as much as I want to see him go to

555
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: the Spurs. If he did drop to four, i'd love

556
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: that too. I just read being a top three pick.

557
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 3: I think that's a good spot and that's kind of

558
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: what I'm counting on tonight.

559
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: Why do you think the Spurs would be a better fit,

560
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: because that's what I'm hearing you say, even if you

561
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 4: didn't exactly well.

562
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a better fit for Reid.

563
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: It's the Wimby thing, and just selfishly, I'm going to

564
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 3: be a fan of wherever Reid goes. Same with rob

565
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: and it could be Robbed to the Spurs, but one

566
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: of the two I want to be the future with

567
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 3: Wimby and that little one two there right now, a

568
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: lot of teams have yukon excuse me, the Spurs taking

569
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 3: Castle at number four. I want that to be a

570
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: Kentucky player.

571
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ryan, Where does an anticipation for Reed's draft night?

572
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 4: Where where does it fall in terms of like recent

573
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 4: Kentucky basketball history and other draft nights for individual players,

574
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 4: not groups, not the years where you have five dudes

575
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: going in the first round. Like, I get it, that's exciting,

576
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: that's that's that's a lot of it's a lot of guys, right,

577
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 4: But in terms of read going as high as number three,

578
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 4: what do you think that excitement level is like relative

579
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: to other previous drafts.

580
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 7: Well, it's obviously sky high because he's obviously a Kentucky kid.

581
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 7: He's a Mountain kid, played in the thirteenth region, his

582
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 7: parents both played here. You know, he's got all that

583
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 7: backstory behind it. So to answer your question, I know,

584
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 7: maybe twenty fifteen when Carl went number one and all

585
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 7: those guys were going to get drafted, or maybe Anthony

586
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 7: Davis in twenty twelve, and there may be as as

587
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 7: much excitement as there is tonight, but there'll be more

588
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 7: people in Kentucky watched the draft tonight than maybe they

589
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 7: ever have just because he is he's a Kentucky kid.

590
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 7: He grew up a Kentucky fan and got all these

591
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 7: pictures of him getting these autograph with his former DeMarcus

592
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 7: Cousins and some of these guys. So I think there'll

593
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 7: be more Kentucky people watch the draft tonight than ever before.

594
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: He's taken a lot of people with him to the draft.

595
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the Thirteenth Region, the whole state of Kentucky.

596
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: People are just his mom catching that first pitch last

597
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: night the Nuts game that was so awesome, Like there's

598
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: so much more invested in the Shepherds than than most

599
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: players that come through here.

600
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 4: That's that's how I view There'll be a lot of

601
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: different ways to watch the Draft tonight, at the least

602
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: of which is on Stadium. Fran for Scilla, who covered

603
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 4: the draft for years for ESPN, is now doing it

604
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 4: for Stadium, is with us on the phone now. Frank,

605
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: thanks for being with us.

606
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 5: Man.

607
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: I know you got a really, really busy day, so

608
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: we'll try to get you in and out as quickly

609
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: as possible. Obviously, Kentucky basketball a big deal. We're talking

610
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: about Read Shepherd and Rob Dillingham. How do the how

611
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 4: do the NBA teams view Read? In terms of what

612
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 4: his upside.

613
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: Is, well, I think Tommy he's just analytically speaking, he's

614
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: the best shooter in the NBA draft in quite some time.

615
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 5: It's incredible the year he had and the efficiency with

616
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 5: which he which he shot the ball. And then he's

617
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 5: shown that he's an athlete and he's shown that, uh

618
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 5: certainly off the ball. Defensively, he's got great awareness and

619
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 5: uh you know, now, in a normal draft, and this

620
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 5: goes for everybody that's going to go in the top ten,

621
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: including both Rob and Reid, you know, these guys probably

622
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 5: would be pushed down a little bit. But because this

623
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 5: is such an unusual draft with so much uncertainty, obviously

624
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 5: Reid is going to hear his name called very high

625
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 5: and possibly his highest three to the Rockets. The comparison

626
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: I've had from people is Mark Price, who was a

627
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: great player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. You know, a TJ. McConnell,

628
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 5: but he's a much better shooter. And so I think

629
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: Reid is going to be a happy man tonight because

630
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 5: he's going to go up, you know, certainly in the

631
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 5: top ten and maybe as high up McConnell.

632
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 4: Top of Billy Lang about McConnell during the during the

633
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 4: course of the season. Earlier this year he was an

634
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 4: assistant on that sixer staff and he just kind of

635
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 4: laughed and he's like, oh, Reed, Shepherd is way more

636
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 4: athletic than McConnell way. More athletic. Yeah, yeah, some of

637
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: the numbers prove it.

638
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. And he's a better shooter. There's no question.

639
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 5: It's hard to find a kid, uh that's coming into

640
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 5: the league that's put put up to shooting numbers anyway

641
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 5: that Reid did this year. What teams like about Reid

642
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 5: and I talked to people about him, is it's not

643
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 5: just catch and shoot. It's off the dribble. He's great

644
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 5: in transition, hitting the you know, the pull up, pop

645
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 5: up three, off the break. He comes off screens and

646
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 5: make shots. I think that it's passing. I know, you know,

647
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 5: if you're a Kentucky fan, you'll say, well, he's a

648
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 5: great passer. No.

649
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 6: In the NBA.

650
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 5: Because of his size, there's gonna be some length issues

651
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 5: he'll have to deal with and adjust to, just like

652
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 5: a Steve Nash had to. Or I go back and

653
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: talk about Mark Price thirty years ago.

654
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 6: But Reed certainly can give the ball up.

655
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 5: But I think pick and roll passing will be something

656
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: that he's going to have to get better at now.

657
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: He didn't have a ton of reps this year, in

658
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: part because he and Rob came off the bench, But

659
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 5: there's a lot to work with there.

660
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 6: And in the NBA, where you have a shot maker

661
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 6: like that, it really opens up the floor.

662
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, this is a you know,

663
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 5: probably the unexpected uh problem that Kentucky had this year

664
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: is that nobody expected read to be a one and

665
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 5: done and it's going to be a great night for

666
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 5: the Shepherd family.

667
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 4: Fran Fracillo is our guest. He's covering the draft to

668
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 4: night for stadium 'ron Kentucky sports radio friend. Uh, you

669
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 4: mentioned size with Reid. I think the one knock if

670
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: the reports on Rob Dillingham is that he came in,

671
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: as many guys do, shorter than what he was listed

672
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: at throughout his one year at Kentucky. How does that

673
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: impact his draft stock and his potential as an NBA score?

674
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, minimally, Tom.

675
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 5: I'd say that in sneakers he's six ' to two.

676
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 5: You know that That's what I remember from my notes

677
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 5: and and and that means that, uh what I well,

678
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 5: let's say what I first of all, I honestly think

679
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 5: Rob Dillingham might be inch for inch, the most skilled player.

680
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 6: In this draft. I really believe that.

681
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 5: Uh at six foot two, his his bed, his chase.

682
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 5: He's got a Kyrie like handle. That's the first thing. Now,

683
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 5: Kyrie is the standard. But the things he does with

684
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 5: the basketball, with his speed are incredible. The shot making

685
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 5: obviously forty four percent from three. Ironically, one NBA team

686
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 5: told me yesterday that on their board, the three top

687
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 5: shooters on their board are all Kentucky kids, because although

688
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 5: Antonio Reeves is not going to go in the first round,

689
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 5: that he graded out as the third best shooter in

690
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 5: this draft, and with the other two one and two.

691
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 5: But I love Rob, And the thing I like about

692
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 5: Rob Dillingham is that when you look at Lou Williams,

693
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 5: who played a long time in the NBA, or Jamal Crawford,

694
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 5: who had an incredible career, both of those guys were

695
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 5: in that six to two and under range and they

696
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 5: were dynamite players off the bench. Now Rob might not

697
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 5: like me saying this because he's going to be a

698
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 5: very wealthy man tonight, but he is your ideal second

699
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 5: unit scorer where when you look at the Mavericks series

700
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 5: against the Celtics, they had nobody when Kyrie and Luca

701
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 5: went out in that second quarter, and the.

702
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 6: Celtics were able to boat race them. At times, I.

703
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 5: Think, I think Rob Dillingham is going to be a

704
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 5: prolific scorer, and I think in time like the best

705
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 5: suited spot for him is as a as a dynamite

706
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 5: sixth man. Doesn't mean he can't be a great score

707
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 5: as a starter, but I love his talent. And the

708
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 5: other thing about him is he does not ever shy

709
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 5: away from big shots. Just go back to that LSU

710
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 5: game on the road when I'm watching it home. LSU

711
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 5: takes the lead, Rob's got the ball in that right wing,

712
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 5: and I said, Cal's not calling time out.

713
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 6: He's just going to let Rob do his thing. And

714
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 6: then he hits a shot that beats LSU and bat Rouge.

715
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 4: Frank Fraschill, our guests, a Kentucky sports radio is covering

716
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: the draft the next two nights for Stadium Friend. I've

717
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 4: always been impressed with your encyclopedia knowledge of foreign players.

718
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: Nobody works at it like you do. The top two

719
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: picks will likely be the two guys from France, it'll

720
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 4: be the second year in a row number one pick

721
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 4: comes from France. What can you tell us about those

722
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: two players? What is the known and the unknown when

723
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 4: it comes to scouting international players. In twenty twenty four.

724
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 5: Well twenty years ago, Tommy, when I started this for

725
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 5: ESPN and did the draft for twelve straight years, the

726
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 5: international kids were really an unknown. And now there's so

727
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 5: much resources poured into the international scouting by NBA teams

728
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 5: that we see it in the league night in, night out.

729
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 5: I'm almost twenty five percent of the league. Now it's

730
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 5: born outside of the United States. We used to say

731
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 5: that the former Yugoslavia and Spain produced the best players

732
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 5: in Europe, and now it's the French kids. If you

733
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 5: look at it, the immigration from the former French colonies

734
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 5: in Africa, you know, places like Congo and Cameroon, you

735
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 5: know those the people who migrated to France. And when

736
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: you watch the French pro leagues now it's you can

737
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 5: see it's a very athletic brand of basketball, the coachings outstanding,

738
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 5: the player development, and so now it's no surprise. Quite frankly,

739
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 5: keep your eyes on the fact that four of the

740
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 5: top twenty players tonight who get drafted at least in

741
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 5: my mind, should are going to be from France. So

742
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 5: when you talk about let's take zacharie Resa, che six '

743
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 5: nine forward from France, played in the Pro A League

744
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 5: this year, and more likely than not, the Hawks will

745
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 5: take him at one. Keep in mind, in a normal

746
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 5: draft where there would be a consensus at the top,

747
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 5: and this year there is none, he would probably go

748
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 5: fifth to six, seventh if say Victor or Zion were around,

749
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 5: But he's likely to go number one. He's got an

750
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 5: NBA position, and he's got an NBA skill in that

751
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 5: he's a shooter and scorer. At number two in Washington,

752
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 5: it's likely to be Alex Sar, who you know your

753
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 5: Kentucky fans know well because his brother played at Kentucky.

754
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 5: And he's a kid who's seven too long and lengthy

755
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 5: and he just needs strength. So those two guys are

756
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 5: likely to go one and two. But I have to

757
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 5: tell you in this draft, anybody who says they know

758
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 5: doesn't know, because there's so much mystery because there is

759
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 5: no consensus number one or two or three pick tonight.

760
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 4: I could lead to a lot of excitement. Fran Bricilla's

761
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 4: covering the draft tonight for Stateium. Friend, we're only got

762
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 4: a minute left. Two other Kentucky guys likely go day two.

763
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 4: You mentioned Antonio Reeves, also Justin Edwards would be on

764
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 4: that list. How do you see those two specifically shaken out?

765
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 5: Well, Antonio is a known commodity, He's been around forever.

766
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 5: You know he's going to get his AARP card soon.

767
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 5: But quite seriously, the one thing Antonio does is he

768
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 5: shoots the ball. So you know, if you tell me

769
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 5: that Antonio Reeves is on an NBA roster next October,

770
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 5: it would not surprise me, obviously, and you guys are

771
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 5: quite aware of what he accomplished at Kentucky. And then

772
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: Justin Edwards, I think is a wildcard because I don't

773
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: think we saw Justin's game fully.

774
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 6: Developed this year. For whatever reason.

775
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of people needed the ball in

776
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 5: their hands. Justin is a kid that coming into Kentucky

777
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 5: what many people thought would be a top fifty team pick.

778
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 6: It's and it's not, it's not.

779
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 5: It's not out of the realm of possibility, Tommy, that

780
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: somebody at twenty eight or twenty nine thirty could take

781
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 5: him in the first round. But I think that he'll

782
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 5: probably be a second round pick, a lot of upside

783
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 5: because he's got that wing size and skill can shoot it,

784
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 5: and just maybe he is going to take a little

785
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 5: bit longer road to the to the NBA than say

786
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 5: Shephard and Dillingham. But you know, certainly a kid with

787
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 5: NBA talent that's probably going to have to be cultivated

788
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 5: a little more than the two young precocious guards.

789
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: Fran great stuff is always excited to hear that you're

813
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 4: of you a few years ago, had a chance to

814
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 4: bid on a bottle of Pappy, and I sent a

815
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 4: text asking is this a good price for this bottle?

816
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,000

817
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,919

00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 6: Right?

819
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what so Ryan gets two points? Yeah right.

820
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: I wanted to answer that one shut out.

821
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,959
Speaker 7: Drew's a big bourbon guy, so that was an easy

822
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 7: answer for me. Yet you probably had to hit Drew

823
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 7: up for that.

824
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 3: Still waiting for a drink of that too.

825
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 4: I still haven't opened it. By the way, my son

826
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 4: took his driver's test today here in Atlanta. I don't

827
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 4: know if you guys have heard of this. The instructor

828
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: did not ride along in the car. They put a

829
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 4: camera in the car. My wife rode with them, and

830
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 4: the instructions came over the camera, like zoom, turn left here,

831
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 4: turn right here, parallel park over there. Everything was recorded

832
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 4: and that's how he was grit on his driver's test,

833
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 4: not that crusty old guy sitting shotgun with the clipboard

834
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 4: in his hand. Is that mind blowing to you?

835
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I just had my son just went through

836
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 7: this and they had a driving instructor sit with him

837
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 7: the whole time. So this is this is new information.

838
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 7: If they're starting to do it was zoom.

839
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could have done it like that.

840
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 4: Did you pass your first time?

841
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: I did? I think maybe not. I don't know.

842
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 7: It's it's the English course, basically English trouble.

843
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 3: I think so I did. I did at some point.

844
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 4: Scariest amusement park rides when we return. Also, Golfer got

845
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 4: drunk and still won. That's coming up next to our

846
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 4: number two of KSR
