Rasha Phillips 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: in about thirty minutes, owner of Prestige's Management Group, author 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: of basketball and analysts as well, and he knows Hoops 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: generally gets a lot of this stuff, right, So we're 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: looking forward to have a conversation with him and a 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: little bit. So just to recap for those of you, 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: maybe work just got in your car, just threw on 26 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: the pot or whatever it may be. 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: It just threw on the app rob Gie, jump on 28 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 3: and give us where we are the draft thus far. 29 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, the first four picks kind of chalky there Cooper 30 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 4: flag number one, Dylan Harper, number two to San Antonio 31 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: vj Edge co number three to Philadelphia con Ko Nipple, 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 4: number four to the Hornets, and number five Ace Bailey 33 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 4: to the Utah Jazz. The reason why that's such a 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 4: big shocker right now is because leading up to the draft, 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 4: it was widely reported that Ace Bailey actually declined an 36 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: offer from Danny Ainge to work out for them heading 37 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 4: into the draft. In fact, according to at least two 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 4: different outlets, the two teams that he absolutely one hundred 39 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 4: percent did not want to go to and he was 40 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 4: willing to tank his stock in the process were number 41 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 4: four to Charlotte and number five to Utah. 42 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 5: Didn't matter because they took him anyway. 43 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: Well, like we just had Eddie House, if you didn't 44 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: get a chance to hear go check out the podcast. 45 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: Eddie House said at the end of the interview, would 46 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: we said, I said, ay, I thought he ain't want 47 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: to go there. He said, well, he might not have 48 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: wanted them, but they wanted him. And that's a big thing. 49 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you might not want to go there, 50 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: but Utah has been Utah in for a minute, meaning 51 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: they've been taking and getting rid of players and not 52 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: trading players when big trades were offers were made. And 53 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: Utah's had a game plan in mind. Credit Danny Ainge too, 54 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: because he knows what he was doing. He saw his run, 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: his tenure with the Celtics. So I think they have 56 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: a game plan in mind. And if it's Bailey fits, 57 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: what did they say, Well, you know they were sitting here, 58 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: you and I are sitting here watching It's like, oh, 59 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: well they need they need a swing player who can shoot, 60 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: They need a wing who can score. Well, a's Bailey 61 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: is that he is a walking bucket. Crazy athleticism can 62 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: get a shot. And so for them, we've been holding 63 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: on the marketing, We've been holding on to these guys. 64 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: We've been trying to have a game plan of what 65 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: we want to do. He is a part of this 66 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: game plan. And again Danny Aing's track records it fits. 67 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to get over that. If your 68 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: as Bailey, you were there, you and I were also 69 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: talking about you're slotted where we already know what you're 70 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna make money wise, So it's not like, oh I 71 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: can the money's there. 72 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: Now the team's there and unless. 73 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: They are still fielding calls, who wanted the's Bailey if 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: couldn't get up to get him, and maybe we'll entertain 75 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: some calls here, that's gonna be home and I can't. 76 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't really have any recommendations in Utah for a 77 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: brother because he ain't staying. You don't think he's no. 78 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: They made that pick for somebody else. Trust me, they 79 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: made that pick. That's the only reason Danny h did 80 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: it because he knows that's one of the things he 81 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: will do. You don't want him, fine, but I know 82 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: somebody else that does want you. So now I'm gonna 83 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: grab you and force him to give me what I want. 84 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: For you think it'll be a young player or for 85 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: like a vetter like I want to go finally get 86 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: this vet I've. 87 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 6: Been looking for probably a vet or maybe just expiring contracts. 88 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 6: But you know, like I said, a lot of these 89 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 6: teams do not want to be on that second chef 90 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 6: apron And so I like when you said. 91 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: That, I'm still in it. What's a little Mother's day? Yeah, 92 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: So it's. 93 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 6: Like, so that's what we are right now in the NBA. 94 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 6: Also is that whole financial aspect of it with the Aprons. 95 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 6: But yeah, and also they have Cody Williams, Jellen Williams brother, 96 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 6: and people have been talking about how bad he is. 97 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 6: You know, they've already given up on him. So I 98 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 6: don't think you're gonna bring a guy put similar attributes, 99 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 6: you know, where you already have one from nast year's 100 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 6: draft that's not even playing, so that they made that 101 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 6: draft for somebody else. 102 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: We had Matt Babcock on and he was kind of 103 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: saying he's been hearing more You always hear rumors and 104 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: hear stuff percolating, but he said more so this year 105 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: than quite some time. And you do wonder if Ange 106 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: is making a move, Like you said, all right, I'm 107 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: gonna get as. 108 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: Bailey hold on to him. The phones blowing up. 109 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: They call the batphone, taking some calls and trying to 110 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: figure out who wants him. So that we've got a 111 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: talented player that arguably could have been a top two 112 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: three pick, and we got him where we got him, 113 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: and now maybe we can get some more assets. 114 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: Because Danny Age is up to something. He ain't taken 115 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: for a reason. 116 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: Normally, if your team is as bad the last couple years, 117 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: Quinn Snyder would have been fired. Yeah, they won't even 118 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: let him take phone calls for the for the job 119 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: with the Knicks, which means this is our guy. So 120 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: you know, there were some conversations had. Look, man, we're 121 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: about to suck. We're about to be mad.

Why don't the league 404 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 6: they need to change that rule. It's like, once the 405 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 6: trade is done, do it and redo the draft order. 406 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: And that's the fun part about having them there a lot, 407 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: like they got to react in real time, like it 408 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be so structured, and he can't do 409 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: it right now.

They got him still going 415 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: a little bit later and he's still out there. 416 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 6: These guys making them move.

Even Cooper Flag, he's gonna come in. 418 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 6: It's not gonna do a lot because he's still gonna 419 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 6: have to fit into the system. 420 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: If well, somebody, somebody is gonna move the flag, I 421 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: mean move the needle.

I'm surprised at, you know, 499 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 7: Utah taking Ace Bailey at five because I know that, 500 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 7: you know, just hearing the rumblings that he wanted to 501 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 7: stay on the East coast. So I'm a little I'm 502 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 7: gonna see how that works out in regards to him 503 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 7: being all the way on the west west side of 504 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 7: the of the math you think he just. 505 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: Stole them to Danny Age took Olden was saying, took 506 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: him the man in trader. I know somebody else is 507 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: gonna want to let me just take him now because 508 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: he's available and we'll figure out the rest. 509 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 7: Of Yeah, it could. It could definitely be that. So 510 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 7: I just feel like they don't want to be on 511 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 7: the West coast and especially Utah, so that that's gonna 512 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 7: be interesting to see how that plays out for a 513 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 7: kid of that caliber, so that it could be some 514 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 7: willing and dyling going on with that pick. 515 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 6: Olden here, we know your your resume, man, you know, 516 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 6: I mean you wanted the best to have a do it, 517 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 6: you know, out of Detroit. The reason I'm the question 518 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 6: I'm asking is this, based on the draft, what components, 519 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 6: in your opinion, makes for a good draft pick. 520 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 7: That's a. That's a that's a. That's a great question. 521 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 7: I think it's a case by case study old and 522 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 7: when you depending on the team and the roster construction 523 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 7: that you have. But in this case, you always want 524 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 7: to get a kid that produces at a high level. 525 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 7: You also want a kid that understand that this is 526 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 7: a profession, this is your job. That takes the game 527 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 7: serious and also that's had some success at the college level. 528 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 7: I'm not big on drafting guys that don't have success 529 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 7: at the college level. I feel that when you want 530 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 7: to bring a kid in to a winning atmosphere, they 531 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 7: must experience winning at the college level to kind of 532 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 7: carry that over. So those are kind of the three 533 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 7: components that I would look at, outside of just the 534 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 7: attributes of being able to handle the ball if I'm 535 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 7: looking for that, or a screening roller or a knockdown shooter. 536 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 7: But those three components is what I would look for 537 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 7: when drafting the right prospect for my team. 538 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: Well, you know, there are a lot of people who 539 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: are saying kind of torn on Cooper Flag. Now, I 540 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: think the consensus is he's going to be a good player, 541 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: but it becomes some saying. You had Carmelo saying, but 542 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything in Leade, doesn't anything great. Somebody 543 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: like Brian Scaryl Labrini said, that's what makes him good. 544 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: He was like, he's an lead athlete and he can 545 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: do multiple things good and that should translate, Well, where 546 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: do you come out on Cooper Flag? He is he 547 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: and not. I'm not making it just because he is 548 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: the white guy like him, but he is he Keith 549 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: van Horn is he? Palo Ben Carrol? 550 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 6: Is he? 551 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: I threw out a guy? Is he? 552 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 6: Tom Chambers? Is he? Where is he? 553 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 7: Yeah? He's none of those three guys that you named. 554 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 7: But I do think that the comparison that I've given 555 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 7: him for the last two years, I think he's an 556 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 7: Andre Carolinko. He's a Swiss Army knife type of player. 557 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 7: He is. He does a little bit of everything really well. 558 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 7: He can defend, he can defend multiple positions. He has 559 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 7: an excellent engine. And again, like I just told Odin, 560 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 7: when you're drafting someone, they have to have some type 561 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 7: of success. Cooper Flag has been successful since high school. 562 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 7: He's success at Duke. Wherever he goes, w's follow him. 563 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 7: That's a huge component for me. I believe with the 564 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 7: team that he's going to be on with the Dallas Mavericks, 565 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 7: he doesn't have to be a first option, second option, 566 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 7: go to guy. He can be that Andre Carolinko where 567 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 7: he's a thirteen point seven rebound, two steals, one block 568 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 7: kind of guy, hit a three every now and then, 569 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 7: but again, not being the focal point of an offense 570 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 7: and I think that's where he's best suited. 571 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: That's yeah, definitely, that's the benefit of it not having 572 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: to be the guy the savior of a franchise. 573 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 6: You know, well, okay, but follow up on that because 574 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 6: you just made that same and you know thirteen point 575 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 6: seven rebounds all that. But I can go get that 576 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 6: at a fifteen pick, a twentieth pick. My number one 577 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 6: should be a lot more than that. 578 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 7: Not know in this case is you don't need that 579 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 7: in Dallas. You don't need that. In this case, the 580 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 7: Dallas Mavericks need a versatile player that doesn't need a 581 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 7: lot of touches because you got Kyrie Irvin, you got 582 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 7: Anthony Davis, you got TJ. Washington, you got guys that 583 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 7: have already won championships, played on the biggest stages. So 584 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 7: you don't need a savior with the number one pick. 585 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 7: You need to plug and play guy. So this again, 586 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 7: this is a fit pick. This is not This is 587 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 7: not a pick where you're just trying to like, I 588 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 7: want to grab a guy that's averaging twenty nine a game, 589 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 7: But you don't need a guy that can average twenty 590 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 7: nine a game in Dallas. You need a guy that 591 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 7: can get you thirteen game and when your stars are 592 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 7: out with injuries, he can up that till eighteen nineteen 593 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 7: a game for about fifteen to twenty games. But you 594 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 7: don't need a Carmelo Anthony type score Jason Tatum type 595 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 7: score with this pick. Cooper Dallas perfectly got you. 596 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: Rashon Phillips our guest here on the odd Couple, Olden Polynesian. 597 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: For Rob kelvin Washington, we got owner Prestige Management Group. 598 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: He's also an offer basketball analyst. So who do you 599 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: like aside with Cooper Flags? Cooper Flag we can spend 600 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: obviously enough time on him. We talked a little bit 601 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: about as Bailey, who else do you like that he 602 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: has either been drafted US far or maybe still a 603 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: guy out there? Is it a Derek Queen? Is it 604 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: a Walterer? Clayton Junior is who's out there? And that 605 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: you also that you like. 606 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 7: Well, you already you took the kid that I was 607 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 7: going to say, obviously, Walter Clayton Junior to me is 608 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 7: a kiddy that's probably going to be drafted in the 609 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 7: twenties but might have the longest career Outside of Cooper, 610 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 7: I feel like what Walter Clayton brings to the table. Again, 611 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 7: let's go back to the components. He's had success at 612 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 7: the college level National champion when he was at Iona, 613 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 7: he was player of the year in that conference. Before 614 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 7: he transferred to Florida, he was an All state quarterback 615 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 7: in high school. So this is a kid that plays 616 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 7: with physicality, plays with toughness, but also as a player 617 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 7: that can make shots on the biggest stages. I just 618 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 7: really love what he brings to the table. I think 619 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 7: he's a kid that can get on the right team 620 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 7: and really carve out his niche on that team and 621 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 7: make some things possible. So I really like Walter Clayton junior. 622 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 6: Okay, great, So now let me ask you on the 623 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 6: flip side of that, who's the guy that you see 624 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 6: is going to end up sitting in that draft room 625 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 6: with tears in his eyes wondering what happened? And I 626 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 6: want to make somebody mad for not picking me. 627 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 7: Wow, that's I don't know, that's a great question. I 628 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 7: don't think that we have the underdog like Shador Sanders 629 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 7: story in the draft. But if I had to pick 630 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 7: one player, it would probably be Derrick Queen because he 631 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 7: hasn't been drafted yet. Yeah, he hasn't been picked. And 632 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 7: this is a kid that again has success, played at 633 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 7: Mount Verd with Cooper Flag. I live in Florida, so 634 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 7: I got a chance to watch them in high school. 635 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 7: I think he doesn't pass the eye tests because he's 636 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 7: not a great athlete, but he's a great basketball player. 637 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 7: And I think a lot of times in the NBA 638 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 7: they get caught up in aesthetics. Can the guy run fast? 639 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 7: Can they jump high? H Darrick Queen does neither. But 640 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 7: what he does do he's a high i Q player, 641 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 7: makes the right reads. Uh, A winning player can score, 642 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 7: can score and have courts that can play with us 643 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 7: back to the basket, can play, can play facing up, 644 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 7: And I think a lot of times those type of 645 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 7: players get overlooked in these drafts. Now, if he had 646 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 7: a forty five vertical, he'd have been already drafted. 647 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we already know. 648 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: That's how you know they fall in love with the 649 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: who Look how that it is he can jump? Look 650 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: at that rush. I get you out of here on this. 651 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: We've got to show some love to the NBA champs, 652 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: to Thunder. Just jenn if you could put a button 653 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,959 Speaker 1: on their season. What you like from them and what 654 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: you saw and what made them ultimately become champions. 655 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I felt like you know, last year with SGA, 656 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 7: I felt he should have won MVP last year, and 657 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 7: this was a continuation. I think it was just the 658 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 7: Basketball Lives Reward and OKC because I felt they've done 659 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 7: the right thing from top to bottom. They've made the 660 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 7: right draft picks, they have not missed on the draft pick, 661 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 7: They've drafted the right players, They've made the right trades. 662 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 7: It starts from the top, and if you look at 663 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 7: what the front office continues to do, a championship was 664 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 7: going to follow that. When you make the right decisions 665 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 7: in the NBA, usually a championship follows that. They're set 666 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 7: to do it again next year. I know we haven't 667 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 7: had a repeat champion in like seven eight years, but 668 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 7: if any team can do it, it will be OKAC. 669 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 7: For the simple fact that everybody's still under contract, so 670 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 7: nobody's gonna nobody's gonna be uh, nobody's gonna have attitude, 671 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 7: the morale will continue to stay up in the locker room. 672 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 7: There won't be no contract disputes. They're young on top 673 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 7: of that, and they have an MVP, So I look 674 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 7: for OKC and the Dallas Mavericks to be in the 675 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 7: Western Conference finals next year. 676 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: Well, I was with you all the way to that 677 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: last sentence. Whoa wait, whoa, whoa? You just ignored Houston 678 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: like that. 679 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 7: Now Houston is not Euston is not going to be 680 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 7: in the Western Conference. I know you not thinking Kevin 681 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 7: Durant is going to be the deciding factor for that. 682 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 7: I know you're not gonna do that. 683 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 3: I'm thinking. 684 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm in Thompson, and I'm thinking Forrevan Vliet and Chagoon 685 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: and the other piece.

Uh, well, what's that, Roger? 757 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 4: Well quick before you guys, you mentioned Derek Queen during 758 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 4: the break got taken by the Atlanta Hawks, who's being 759 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 4: traded to New Orleans Pelicans. We now have the terms 760 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 4: of that deal finalized, according to ESPN. Before I get 761 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 4: to it, do you expect either one of you the 762 00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 4: New Orleans Pelicans to be any good this? 763 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: No? 764 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 3: No, Olden hell no. 765 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 6: Okay. 766 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 5: So here's the problem with that. 767 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 4: In this trade, the Atlanta Hawks traded the number twenty 768 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 4: three pick or the number thirteen pick for the number 769 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 4: twenty three pick this year and an unprotected New Orleans 770 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 4: Pelican's first round pick next year. So to move up 771 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 4: ten slots, they gave up which many your think could 772 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 4: be a top five pick next year. 773 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 6: Yeah. 774 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: That that's crazy, especially when you don't look like you 775 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: have anything locked up. It would be different if you 776 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: knew you had like, okay, I had Zion, I'm trying 777 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 1: to make up somebody, or I had this other great 778 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: number two player. I got this going on. I got 779 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: there where you're like, no, this is our season going 780 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: in the top sixteen. Yeah, and if you're the Pistons, right, 781 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: you can be enough of the building. We're there now, 782 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: we feel like we can compete. Then you would you'd say, 783 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: all right, we'll do this. New Orleans might be right 784 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 1: back here next year. They might win twenty five twenty 785 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: eight games, right back here next year. And now Atlanta, 786 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: who was another team that was on the uh, all right, now, 787 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you all to be better than this, 788 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: especially in a wide open East. 789 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 3: Atlanta has been underachieving. With Trey Young. 790 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, I should be the East, we 791 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: should be a top five succeeds. 792 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 3: What's going on here? Why why aren't we? 793 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: So now they mess around and get to pick the 794 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: top five pick next year, you know, and we'll still 795 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: see how the summer plays out. 796 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 3: There's some more moves because Atlanta. 797 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: Got it has to think, Oh, they gotta think the 798 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: East is wide open. 799 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 3: Why now us? Why can't we make a. 800 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 6: Move right Atlanta. 801 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you can't keep just being bad, man, listen, 802 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: or you gotta trade Trey Young. 803 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 6: Andy been trying to trade him. Nobody wants Trey Young. 804 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 6: That's the problem. So you're basically gonna have to do 805 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 6: a Bradley Beal. Eventually, nobody wants trade Young. That's like 806 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 6: twenty differences. He does not have a no trade clause. 807 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 6: So they'll get rid of them. They'll cut them ties soon. 808 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: Man, you talk about what started off Robgi and Olden 809 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: and like looking good.
