WEBVTT - Trade Talk With Devon 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.200 The seventy Sixers. We're back at home and net, as 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.800 we've come to learn, is a very very good thing. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.479 Jam but teastible with the right hand, Jam and the 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.840 Sixers are picking apart the Memphish Grizzlies. The Sixers polish 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.400 off the Memphis Grizzlies one nineteen to one oh seven. 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.400 It breaks the season high time four game losing streak, 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.439 their ninth straight win at home, and one of the 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.520 neatest parts about the win over the Memphis Grizzlies the 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.440 Sixers didn't even have their two new guys with them yet. 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.360 Fortunate to add Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson the Third. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.280 They're going to boost us offensively and defensively. I'm looking 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.960 forward to getting them here. Who are Alec Burks and 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.840 Glenn Robinson the Third and how might they be able 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.680 to help the Sixers. We'll talk about that with Devon 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:53.479 Gibbons on this episode of the broadcast. What's going on 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.720 out there? Seventy Sixers? Pod people, you know, it is 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.520 always great to podcast who will never take that opportunity 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:06.960 for granted. It is especially great to podcast following a victory, 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.480 and man, were the Sixers overdue for a dub in 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.000 the worst way. On Friday when they played the Memphis 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.400 Grizzlies at the Center. The good news was the seventy 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.960 Sixers came out on top one nineteen one oh seven 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.959 after that winless four game road trip. Ben Simmons was 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.920 the beast. So Ben Simmons with a wake up call 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.680 for the grizz right Domlae with a right hand slam. 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.240 Furky was feeling it. Here's cork Boss for another three 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:40.160 and he thrills it. The fans rising as one, They're 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.440 feeling it. By the end of the evening, all was 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.960 right with the world. Josh Richardson back for the first 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:49.000 time in seven games, and hey, Alec Burks and Glenn 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.640 Robinson the third weren't even in uniform yet, and those 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.960 two gents will be the focus of this podcast with 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.160 the von Givens, which we'll get underway in just a moment. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.120 But before we start, we usually like to take this 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.200 opportunity to remind you to subscribe to our podcast feed. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.240 You can do it just about anywhere you listen to 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:14.639 your podcasts, whether that's Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:21.160 tune in, SoundCloud, wherever, Pandora spreaker type in seventy Sixers 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.640 podcast or Sixers podcast network, and that will take you 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.400 to our feeds. So this was the second straight NBA 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.520 trade deadline where I would presume the majority of you 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.160 hard working seventy six Ers fans out there who were 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.160 just looking for an easy, uninterrupted night's worth of sleep, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.440 could have very well been awoken by the buzz or 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.320 a ding of a cell phone and you look down 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.960 and you see on your screen and alert coming from 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:58.280 none other than ESPN's Adrian Wodronowski's rage just happened since 0:02:58.280 --> 0:02:59.840 we'd come on the air, What do you got for us? 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.919 Philadelphia has bolstered their bench Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.880 from Golden State on their way to the Sixers for 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.160 three future second round picks. There was a lot of 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.679 pressure on the Sixers to get some more shooting, some 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.000 more scoring. That was indeed the news that Woade reported 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:22.360 a little bit after midnight Eastern early Thursday morning, about 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.320 fifteen hours before the three pm trade deadline, that the 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.119 seventy Sixers would be getting from the Golden State Warriors 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.280 Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson. The third the news became 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.560 official a little bit after seven o'clock on Thursday night, 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.080 and then on Friday down at the Center before the 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.080 seventy six Ers tipped off in what would be a 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.120 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Sixers general manager Elton Brand 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.560 met with the media and shared his thoughts on the acquisitions. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.640 Pages of shooting, Did you talk specifically about Glenn and 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:00.200 dolg and Lye there's still sets match here, Yeah, Glenn. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.120 I'll start with Glenn Robinson, the third um. Of course, 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.960 the shooting, we mentioned that, but you know, defensively, he's 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.240 guarded the best players. I know, it's career year and 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.360 the team he was on wasn't having a great year. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.800 But he will play dum for us at an extremely 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.600 high level, and he can shoot the ball. And then 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.320 he's young and kind of fits our plans. Alec Burks. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.360 You know, just the other day I watched him score 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.960 thirty on the road. So when I was able to 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.920 get him elite score, leite talent, can get to the 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.960 foul line, can finish, and he can play defense also, 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.720 So you know, being able to add those two, I 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.680 think it gave us the boosts will need to, you know, 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.680 make a run before all star break and make a 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.719 run before the playoffs after that. Clearly Elton Brand believing 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.839 that Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson the third two veterans 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.760 who can help the seventy sixers right now and moving 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.800 forward on both ends of the floor. When we need 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.760 some straight shooting analysis. There is no one who we 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.480 turn to other than this man. It is. It's great 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.000 to have him on the pod from ninety seven five 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.800 to the the Fanatic. You hear him in the evenings, you 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.760 hear him in the post, to hear him essentially all 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.440 the time on ninety seven five to the Fanatic, the 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.360 station where you can hear all seventy Sixers games as well. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.120 De why don't we start here? Surprised or not surprised 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.000 that the Sixers ended up making a move, No, I'm 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.640 not surprised at all. Just understanding where the team is 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.480 as of right now and some of the issues that 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.680 they may have had a little bit over the course 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.719 of the last few weeks where they've struggled, specifically on 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.760 the road and scoring off the bench. I thought that 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.080 that would be the focus and seeing what they were 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.320 able to do with the acquisition of Alec Berks and 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.960 Glenn Robinson. The third that they had a focus on 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.920 that exactly, which was again to help voice both of 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.159 the bench and see what they can get in terms 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.760 of scoring, some more ball handling, some more outside shooting, 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.839 athleticism if you will to go with this team off 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.400 the bench, because as much as Quirk mis and thy 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.520 Will have done well on the perimeter, you know you've 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.640 had your struggles, if you will, with Mike Scott, James Ennis, 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.400 and a few others where this was probably a necessary 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.719 thing for them to go out there and do. Being 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.799 as one of these championship contenders, you know at times 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.440 you have to go and take a shot when it 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.839 comes to certain things. And Elton Brand in the front office, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.320 they did that in the off season with the acquisition 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.480 of Josh Richardson and Al Horford, bringing back to Bias Harris, 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.640 and over the last couple of all seasons they've done 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.280 the exact same thing by making the trade deadline moves, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.599 the buyout period, all of that to help this team 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.159 push to where they need to be. Not only do 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.000 we have those standards for the team and the expectations, 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.520 but we know that the same can be said for 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.240 the organization. So I was not surprised at all based 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.120 off of where they are currently in the Eastern Conference. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.520 If Elton has shown anything over the course of his 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.400 time as a general manager, I think it's that he's 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:02.800 willing to not operate conservatively. He's willing to try and 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:08.120 constantly find opportunities to make some tweaks and changes. Now, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.280 last year we saw twice two really big changes were 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.440 made when the team went out and got Jimmy Butler 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.160 in November and then made the trade with the La 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:21.520 Clippers for Tobias Harris, Boban and Mike Scott this year. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.560 In the aftermath some of the moves that were made 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.280 during the offseason and the commitments that the seventy sixers made, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.200 this kind of seemed like it had to be a 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:35.280 situation where Elton made a move around the margins, right, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.920 Like I just thought, for everything that was going on 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.800 around the team leading up the trade deadline, it really 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:47.360 would have taken something substantially dramatic for a blockbuster to 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:52.160 go down. I think that that's exactly where Elton brand 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.760 was and just tinkering around the edges to make sure 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.880 that they fill out the rest of the roster the 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.160 depth overall. If you Will and looking at where Brett 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.520 Brown is going to have his rotation as we get 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.400 closer to the postseason, the end of the regular season, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.080 when you get to the postseason, the playoffs, we all 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.400 know that the rotation is going to shorten out a 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.200 little bit. So that's something that they wanted to make 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.440 sure that they were able to shore up. You already 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.680 have Mike Scott playing the amount of minutes that he 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.040 does in the regular rotation, minutes Stybel the same thing, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.480 Shake Milton starting to come on a little bit. You 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.920 needed to have a little bit extra coming off the 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.559 bench to give teams a different look, a different type 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:37.000 of approach when we got we get to that point 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.000 of the season, regular season and of course the playoffs. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.920 So I totally agree. I did not expect any type 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.760 of blockbuster after what they did in the off season. 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.240 It doesn't even date back to Jimmy Butler and to 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.079 buyas Harris, Mike Scott, and Boban It's about right now 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.000 where you look at what they did in the off 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:58.560 season by again bringing back Harris, acquiring Horford and Richardson, 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.800 those were the blockbusters that they had to do. Now 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.880 it was about simply going out there and shoring up 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.160 the rest of the roster. You mentioned the rotation, whether 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.760 it's for the immediate future right now, in the middle 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.280 of the regular season, or looking farther down the road 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.920 towards the playoffs, how do you think that's going to 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.760 shake out. Let's get into that, because obviously, now based 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.920 on some of the corresponding moves the Sixers have made, 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.079 Trey Burke was waived, Jonah Bolden was released as well 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.920 James and it's the third sent to the Orlando Magic 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.479 for a future second round pick. And it's the third. However, 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.120 really the only player of that three player group that 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:40.160 you could say falls in line of the batch of 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.840 minutes that could go towards a player like let's say, 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.120 Alec Burke's or a Glenn Robinson the third and also 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.640 at that wing shooting guards spot behind Josh Richardson, there's 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.680 guys like Furkon, Corkmasmatist, Stable Shake Milton, all of whom 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.920 it seems like the Sixers want to see more of. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.920 So where do you see perhaps some of these new 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.880 players fitting in. Yeah, and that's that's a great question. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.600 I'm glad you asked that one, because when you do 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.520 look at that and we see how things are starting 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:06.839 to play out. I think Brett Brown is going to 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.439 tinker a little bit and see which works the best. Right, So, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.840 when you have the struggles that you maybe have had 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.679 in the past and the postseason with the skill guys 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.040 where specialty players, let's say for kN korkmis as a while, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.160 they're still trying to as Brett Brown likes to say, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.600 grow a shooter. They also want him to do a 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.520 few other things put the ball on the floor. But 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.720 he struggles a little bit defensively. Where in this instant 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.720 when they do have a certain matchup that they have 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.120 and a certain lineup that they may want but still 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:41.280 need that shooting out there, maybe Brown decides, you know what, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.000 we know Matis Steibel can play the defensive side, but 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.880 offensively he might struggle just a little bit. It's the postseason. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.079 This is something totally new for him. It's a it's 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.240 a physical game, not to say that he can't play 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.480 in it, but still learning as a rookie where you 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.680 might be able to throw in Glenn Robinson the third 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.400 because he is a similar size, has similar length, and 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.839 the athleticism to keep up with a specific player just 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.960 because of his overall attributes as a player at standing 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.320 at six five sixty six as Glenn Robinson. So I 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.880 think that that's where Brett Brown would try to figure 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.920 those things out along the way, thinking offense defense. While 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.400 I may be more focused on the defense, I'm still 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.480 not losing much, but I still have something in Glenn 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.200 Robinson shooting a career high from behind the three point 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.160 line and give you that defensive presence that is still 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.480 needed out there. Whereas for Kan Korkmas, the leading of 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.959 three point maker for the seventy six ers, may struggle 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.120 a bit on the defensive end. So I think that 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.559 that's where it will go. Shake Milton the same thing 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:50.240 while he's playing well, Will Brett Brown trust someone like 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:55.560 Alec Burks in his spot instead of giving those minutes 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.040 to shake Milton? And it could be who the opponent is. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.400 It could be who is opposite them in that particular 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.720 lineup for the opposition where Brown might decide to go 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.000 that route. We know it's going to be shortened. You 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.920 know Mike Scott is going to be in there. You 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.760 assume Burkes and Robinson are going to be in there. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.320 And that's eight. Now what Now, where's the other going 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.839 to come from. Where's that nine ten? And how will 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.480 Nato getting those minutes? Now, maybe those backup point guardmentutes 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.240 when Josh Richardson comes back, they'll slide some of those 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.480 to shake Milton and or Alec Burks to handle that 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.679 responsibility to be as well. So Brett Brown has some 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.160 more things to work with, and I'm curious to see 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.800 how he ultimately figures those things out, depending on what 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.680 the matchup is on any given night and in any 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.640 given series. Nelson, I think that by the end of 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.520 the regular season and even when this year ends, I 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.200 think something that people will be able to step back 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.760 and look at, we're the minutes that guys like Thyble 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.880 and Milton and Korkmis got this year and what those 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.120 younger players were able to do with it, and how 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.000 that could help the seventy six ers in the future. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.240 But as we've seen the last two years, and as 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.280 you were just talking about, the playoffs are a totally 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.080 different deal, and I feel like it can never hurt 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.679 to have some battle tested guys, some veteran guys who 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.560 you could call upon if needed. Glenn Robinson the third 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.120 has been around for a while, someone like Alec Burks, 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.240 who spent the first handful of his seasons parts of 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.200 eight years with the Utah Jazz. By the time he 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.240 left there, they were back in the playoff picture. He's 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.400 a guy who's been around, and you know, these are 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.960 guys who have experienced a little bit more than let's say, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.319 the likes of Thible and Quark, Moise and Milton at 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:40.400 least relative to the bright spotlight of postseason basketball right right, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.920 just being there, and even Glenn Robinson the third I 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.880 don't want to be wrong, but I want to say 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.640 that the Indiana Pacers when he was with the Pacers, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.839 they made it to the postseason. I'm not sure how 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.920 many minutes I'll check on that. I don't want to 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.360 be wrong on it, but I look at that, and 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.400 you're right. The battle tested situation. We've seen it plenty 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.080 of times. When the young players get into that new situation, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:06.080 that new season, as everyone calls itself, and will they 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.559 be ready for it? Will they prepare for it? Absolutely? 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.040 Will they be ready for it? The physicality, the different 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.200 type of speed of the game in the postseason that 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.400 everyone talks about, how things change, it will certainly help 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.960 to have. Of course, Mike Scott there and the starting five, 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.960 but what about the rest When it comes to Thiable, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.040 Corkmis and Milton, it certainly helps to have Burkes and 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.760 Robinson the third along foot of ride. Right now, the 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.760 von Gibbons you hang tight. Have to tell the good 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.720 people out there about a very important date they should 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.320 circle on their calendars.

Purchase a ticket or a 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.920 table for the fifth annual Sixers Youth Foundation Evening on 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.520 the Court Gallant presented by VIP Wireless, Monday, March nine, 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.520 twenty twenty, at the twenty three hundred Arena in South Billy. 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.080 All Right, divine, getting back to it, when we look 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.520 at some of the numbers that Robinson the Third and 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.200 Burkes are putting up with the Golden State Warriors, You've 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.840 got Robinson averaging just under thirteen points a game, shot 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.680 forty percent from outside the arc, Burkes sixteen points per game, 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.880 career high average, obviously playing some of the highest volume 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.440 minutes of his career, but thirty seven and a half 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.840 percent from three point territory. And you know, these just 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.280 weren't nice percentages. They're shooting at a pretty high volume 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.920 as well. But obviously the subcontext for this is that 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.920 Golden State is having a very un Goolden State like 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.920 season this year, dealing with a lot of injuries. That 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.800 means different guys than you might have expected at the 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.520 outset of the year are going to get more minutes. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.560 So how do you reconcile some of the stuff that 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.960 we've seen, at least on paper from Robinson and Burkes 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.440 with how Golden State collectively was performing and what that 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.440 might mean now that obviously the two of these players 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.240 are going to be in a much different spot with 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.200 the seventy six or a team that's battling for contention. Yeah, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.920 I would think that just looking at the career numbers 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:54.080 Alec Burks, a lot of it was situational injury history 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.360 with the Utah Jazz where he missed time and Glenn 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.640 Robinson the third a different path where he had to 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.600 really work for his and get to where he is now, 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.119 and he fell into the perfect opportunity with the Golden 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.080 State Warriors, as you said, a unlike Golden State Warriors 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.119 type of season with the injuries and all and the 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.240 new pieces that they had moving on from certain players 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.280 that they had an opportunity. And we know a lot 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.120 of times it says, hey, I'm a bad team. Some 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.679 people have to put up the numbers. Someone has to 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.359 do it. Points are gonna go up, someone has to 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.879 do it well. High volume of minutes for Alec Burks, 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.879 as you pointed out, and he responded with those quality 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.040 numbers just over sixteen points a game, as you mentioned, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.399 right around thirty seven percent from behind the three point line, 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.520 a versatile overall scorer and as well as he has 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.560 shot the basketball. So it's I've always liked his game 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.040 all the way back to Colorado as a collegiate player, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.480 because of the way he can handle the ball, his 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.440 shiftiness at his size, put the ball on the floor, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.960 get the certain spots, still elevate sneaky, elevate over people, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.800 and finish at the rim very crafty. And now adding 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.320 this three point three point shot to his game the 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.240 way that he has so frequently, it just looks good 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.320 for the Philadelphia seventy six ers. So a tune up, 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.439 if you will, with the Golden State Warriors to go 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.679 out there play those big minutes, have the opportunity to 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.800 do that. But also know that in the past he 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.080 was playing as a reserve. He's still a reserve with 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.160 the Golden State Warriors, but playing as a reserve where 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.000 his minutes might be down. But understanding here that they 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:32.760 brought him in here for a reason. They brought him 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.760 in here to put the ball on the floor, to 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.040 put the ball in the bucket and that's what they 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.240 need from him. That's what they want from him. A 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.119 decent defender, not as good as Glenn Robinson the Third, 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.320 but someone that you feel like you can count on, 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.639 you don't look to necessarily hide as a defender. And 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.720 as far as Glenn Robinson the third coming in now 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.879 a former sixer, you know he was here doing the 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:59.080 early rebuilding stages with the team. Same thing, really just 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.720 an opportunity, and now that he has the opportunities, both 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.879 of these players have a chance to play for a 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.840 playoff team, play meaningful minutes and hopefully carrying over the 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.080 confidence that they bring with them from the Golden State 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.080 Warriors to now when nothing really falls off. Yes, the 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:16.960 numbers are going to fall off in terms of points 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.720 per game because the high value of touches and opportunities 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.560 that they had there may not present themselves here in Philadelphia. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.760 But again, the confidence and understanding that the coach is 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.879 going to draw things up and call things for them 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.680 to get them involved where they're not just sitting around 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.600 running to the corner and not involved in the offense. 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.400 I look forward again to seeing how Brett Brown incorporates 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.879 them into it and how they handle their new situation. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.400 Someone asked me this the other day after the trade deadline, 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:51.720 if I could name five players on the seventy sixers 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.879 during the final game that Glenn Robinson, the third played 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.280 here previously, so he ended the twenty fourteen fifteen season 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.680 with the Sixers. Was Brett Brown's second year? Do you 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.080 think you can name a handful of guys who were 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.240 on the team that season and you said this was 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.879 the second year? Yeah, fourteen fifteen. If you have to 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.280 take a crack, let's uh, as many as many guys 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.240 as you could name who finished the season on the 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.040 roster that year. I think I got four, yea four 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:26.760 players on my own. Hollis Thompson, Yes, Henry Sims, Yes, 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:37.280 Tony Rowton, let me check he I don't think he season. 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.800 Let me I'll i'll fact check that while you continue 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:51.160 your car Sameson, Yes, how about he said was issue 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.760 on that team? Which was on that team? Great job 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.399 by you, okay, Is Schmidt, I have to beat you 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:03.440 four and go for fifth. I will go with um. 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:09.720 Brandon Davies. Oh, that is a great name from the past. Ah. 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:16.119 I don't think Brandon Davies was on the roster at 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.720 the end of that season, Roten was he was hurt 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.399 at that point. I forgot about that at the end 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.080 of the end of the season injured. So yeah, I 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.280 think that's an exciting probably performance by you. Okay, so 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.680 there's five right there. All right. I was gonna I 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.119 was gonna run a few more, but I don't know 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.080 if they were could No, we can, you can just 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:39.040 go ah. I don't think he ended the year with him, No, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:45.360 Casper Ware, No, he didn't end the season with the team. Wow, 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.800 there's one guy who I thought two guys actually I 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.960 thought kind of were maybe like year three or four 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.360 of Brett, But yeah, they were on the fourteen fifteen team. 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:59.160 Also Isaiah Cannon. I forgot that he was there that early. Uh, 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:06.040 and Luke Bob as well of course, and Robert Covington absolutely. Yeah, 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.320
