WEBVTT - 11/18/20 HOUR 2- Mike Florio, Chris Mannix 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.400 Sports Radio Howard two on this Wednesday. NBA Draft coming 0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:09.760 up tonight. Come on in stay a while. Chris Mannock, 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.600 some sports illustrator will be covering the draft. What does 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.480 he think he's going to happen? Where is LaMelo Ball 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.240 going to go? I got him going to Golden State. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.880 I think Golden State takes James Wiseman. But if I'm 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.600 Golden State, I'd take LaMelo Ball eight seven seven three 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.760 d P show email out of Stpa, Dan Patrick dot com. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:33.440 Trevor Lawrence is back practicing wake Duke postpone, Wichita States. 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.520 Greg Marshall has tapped out. They have decided to part ways. 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.680 There some serious allegations attached to him, and somehow he 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:48.800 walks away with nearly eight million dollars. Oh, it feels 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.960 like that would violate your contract or your buyout or 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.320 there's a clause in there if you happen to do 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.160 something like choke one of your assistant coaches something like that. 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.240 I don't know if that language was in there. If 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.560 you choke one of your assistant coaches, you don't get 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.760 paid the remainder of your contract. His next contract will 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.720 probably have that fine print in there. Yestime, if you 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.960 have players with conduct intrimental to the team or embarrassing 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.399 the league or the organization, how could coaches not be 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.920 a subject to those same type of penalties. He's got 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.480 a contract detrimental to the team and his conduct was 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.520 detrimental to the team as well. McLevin has a poll question, 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.520 are we staying with Ammon cleven? So would you draft 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:33.800 LaMelo Ball? I thought it'd be like fifty fifty seventy. Okay, 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.640 I'm in the minority's top three. Obviously the NBA fields 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.759 they're going to draft him. Yeah, I would take him. 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.000 I would. I think the upside is can be significant there. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.640 I think Anthony Edwards is a very safe pick there. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.520 James Wiseman is exactly that. He's a wise man. He 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.760 is a very mature kid um by all accounts, and 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.360 is he able to fit in in today's NBA? How 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.000 would he fit in with Golden State style? But I 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.000 only saw one game, but it was an entire game. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.960 I saw Oregon. I saw Anthony Edwards play one entire game. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.160 Anthony Edwards is a very safe pick and looks like 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.680 he could be He's built like James Harden. I don't 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.720 know if he's going to be a great scorer, but 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.560 he's a very good two way player. You just don't 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.640 have that rubber stamp man. I know that guy's going 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.399 to be great. If I said I would give you 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.960 the top ten pick, top eight picks of the last 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.400 six drafts, and I'll take everybody after that, would you 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.120 be more willing to go I want the first eight picks, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.040 or you get every other pick after that. I'm going 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.200 to take all the other picks after that. Go back 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.280 to that Anthony Bennett draft mclovin. Because Anthony Bennett, I 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.560 watch you and LV play. I watched them in their 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:59.079 conference tournament. I didn't know Anthony Edwards was any good. 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.000 There were times when I would watch or Anthony Bennett 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.880 and I'd go, I do is that guy supposed to 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.480 be great? And even in that league, I went, Okay, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.680 seems to do a couple of good thing. He didn't 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.880 do anything great. And then all of a sudden, the 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.720 cams go they're taking ANT taking Anthony Bennett. I went, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.480 oh my gosh, what did I miss here? Because I 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.919 loved Victor Oladipo. In fact, Mannings came on and I said, 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:28.000 I'll take Victor Oladipo in his future in the NBA. Mcleven, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.520 do you have that draft? Yes, you're it's so bottom heavy, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.720 it's ridiculous. Okay. It starts Bennett, then Victor Oladipo, Otto, Porter, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:41.160 Cody Zeller, Alex Lenn, Cody Zeller, Alex Lynn at All, 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.040 then my six Ers mid process. Oh. Actually it says 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.760 that New Orleans took New Orleans so well, but I 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.960 feel like they traded him to the six or somehow. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.400 Then Ben McLemore, who he was on the Rockets last year. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.080 I was surprised to see we love that guy, remember 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.040 him coming out of Kansas Kent Tavis called well Pope. 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.680 I didn't realize he was a top ten pick. He 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.240 was eight. The Lions, I mean the Tigers, I mean, 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.600 oh my Ben Trey Burke, who the Sixers should have 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.560 kept his number nine, c J mccllum, ten, Michael Carter. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.880 But if I gave you the first EID picks and 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.880 I got everybody else, Michael Carter, Williams went eleven. He 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.560 was I think he was Rookie of the Year and 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.400 he just didn't shoot. Yeah, he couldn't His first game. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.119 I think he had a triple double. He couldn't shoot. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.200 Then Yannis fifteen y Yeah, so I had Jannis and 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.560 c J. McCollum. There's a few other players in there, yes, boy, yeah, 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.680 there's a bunch of good players who were drafted after ten. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.040 Steven Adams Oklahoma City. He was drafted twelfth. He's had 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.200 a very nice career. Rudy Gobert was twenty seventh. Dennis 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:44.440 Schrader seventeen. Shrewder Schrader, Sure, try it again, No, it's 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.720 it doesn't even have the umlats. Pretty sure it's Shrewderer. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.520 It's Dennis Shrewder, Denise Shrewder Yet wait wait what was 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.120 the die Harden scene? Shoots? Oh? Oh, I thought it was. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.400 Never mind. Where's the kid from the Peanuts gang? That's Schroeder. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:05.320 Schroeder played a mean piano. I love Schroder. All right, Uh, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.440 we'll talk also Tim Hardaway. Rudy Gobert probably was going on. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.320 There's like ten ten guys who are Max Alan Krabb. No, no, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:19.800 you can't put Alan Krab in there. Alan Krab dude 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.400 made an Oh I know that a lot of guys 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.320 who have which I we gotta get to ethan On. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.360 There must be top good picks in the top eight 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.520 of those drafts, right like the last eight years I had. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.880 None of them are jump into mind, but yeah, you 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.360 start to wonder, like these are the guys that teams 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.920 that are you know, they miss on the bad teams 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.520 are up there for a reason, and then they whiff 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.280 on these picks and then you never recover from something 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.120 like that where you could have had this. You know, 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.040 imagine if the Cabs had taken Anthony Bennett when they 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.320 took him and still be there. You might be building 0:05:55.320 --> 0:06:00.760 around if you took somebody, uh CJ. McCollum throw You know, 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.440 there's a couple of players and obviously the Greek freak, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.560 but there's players that you go, well, you could have 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.080 build around those, and then you miss when you're up 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.760 that high. Yeah, McLevin, I don't think the six Ers 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.839 got it right in seventeen when they traded from three 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.440 to one to get Marquel Falls. They did nine that 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.000 did not go well. Yeah, but one Anthony Davis was 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.680 the number one pick in twenty twelve. Yep, it's pretty 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.480 good and Karl Anthony Town's fifteen good player, good, solid 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.160 players DeAndre Aden is he veering towards a bust? Are 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.080 a good player? You're the only one I know I 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.280 would I would say that he has the key to 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.280 the Phoenix Suns being a great team is going to 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.800 be DeAndre Eighton in my opinion, because it feels like 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.400 they have a nice starting five. Chris Paul's in there. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.640 We know what Booker is. I need to know if 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:49.000 DeAndre Eighton can go next level? I mean eighteen and eleven, 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.760 I'll take it. I want to know if and he's 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.839 only twenty one or twenty two, I want to know 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.640 if he can go you know, twenty six and twelve, 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.200 and you know what kind of shots? You know? Can 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.320 he extend his range a little bit there? But he 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.520 should be great? You take him number one overall. James 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.320 Harden is one of the more unique stars in all 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.800 the sports. We know he's a great player, but I 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.560 can't put him into a box or a category because 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.840 he's not fast. But he can blow by you. He 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.240 can get his shot. I wouldn't call him ripped, but 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.400 he seems as strong as anyone covering him. He's a 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.240 ball hog, but he's averaged over eleven assist a game 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.280 for a season. He's an anomaly in aberration. And now 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.080 he's at a crossroads here because he once out of Houston. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.600 He turned down a two year extension worth one hundred 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.720 and three million dollars once to join Kevin Durant in Brooklyn, 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.960 and that doesn't mean the Rockets are going to cooperate. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.200 But if they do pull off the deal, there's still 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.360 a lot of questions about Harden. Is he going to 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.640 continue to play hero ball? Is it going to be 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.240 about James Harden? If I'm Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.320 there is no way I want to be around them. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:04.280 I think I truly believe this that James Harden understands 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.760 I've done everything individually you can do in this game, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.600 I have to do something team wise. He wasn't necessarily 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.840 a winner in college Oklahoma City. They had a chance. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.280 He was the sixth man of the year. You go 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.840 to Houston, you create this phenomenon, you create this must 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.679 see TV style of offense. But after that, it's all done. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.400 There's nothing that James Harden does in a game anymore 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:35.000 where you go wow, unless it's something negative where he 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.640 misses fifteen consecutive three pointers that's it. You've seen him dominate, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.360 You've seen him put up fifty, You've seen him dish 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.160 out eleven assists. He can get by anybody, get a 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.120 shot against anybody. I was watching yesterday and actually slowed 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.520 it down. He was being guarded by Anthony Davis. Now, 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.040 Anthony Davis is six to eleven and a wingspan that 0:08:55.080 --> 0:09:01.280 probably makes him seven ten. James Harden gets his shot, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.720 gets his jumper, He creates just enough separation, gets just 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:10.360 enough lift, and it's amazing to watch that he can 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.840 get a shot against the smallest guy, the tallest guy, 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:18.040 the quickest guy. And now I think he understands what 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.160 am I and who am I? And what do I 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.360 want to be? Imagine he wins a championship. We look 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:29.640 at James Harden differently. If they adapt the style of 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.720 offense you saw with Golden State. If James Harden and 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.160 Kevin Durant talk and say, hey, I'll do it, you 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.000 do it, Kyrie, What do you think about this? Moving 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.120 the ball, passing it four or five times down the floor, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.319 get movement in there. And I wonder if James Harden 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.120 is saying, at this stage in my career, do I 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.959 want to average thirty again, do I want to average 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.960 twenty two? How about twenty two in a title? How 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:02.640 about twenty two and playing meaningful basketball? At some point, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.160 I think that James harden will or has come to 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.240 that realization. I truly believe that. And it's not that 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.160 he can't do it. Go back and watch Oklahoma City 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.640 when he was sixth man. Great off the ball, he 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.280 didn't have to have a ball, got the ball score. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.440 But if you're going to go to Brooklyn, and I 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.600 don't know if it's happening anytime soon, but if you're 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:31.200 going the style of offense I think will be more 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.040 based on what you saw with Golden State than what 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.480 you saw with the Houston Rockets. Yes time. And where's 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.120 Chris Paul and the championship realization? It's all nice to 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.160 live in Paradise Valley and you're gonna be a mentor 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.360 to these young guys. But where does he think he's 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.280 going in his last few years in the NBA As 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.200 far as an he shot at a title? Well, I 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.920 think if Milwaukee was interested, then you got a shot 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.160 at a title. Chris Paul knew Oklahoma City's going to rebuild, 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.720 and Phoenix was willing to take him on to give 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.760 a little maturity to that line there. I don't know 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.960 if he went, hey, how do I win a title? 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.400 I thought Chris Paul, somehow, some way was going to 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.040 end up with the Lakers. I just thought it would 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.920 be one of those lebron hey and somehow make this work. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.320 I want you to come in, Rondo's gone. I want 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.800 you to come in like That's that's what I thought. 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.600 But by going to Phoenix, he may not had another 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.640 option there, but I thought Milwaukee would have been a 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.000 great destination for him.

Hi, Jimmy would sell on 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:36.000 your mind today? What's up then? Hey, bunh Yeah good? Yeah. 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.920 If I'm yeah, so if I'm the Wizards, I'm pressing like, yes, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:44.199 but a thousand times to get Westwood. Yes, Yes, that's me. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.000 Solowly comes to the injury history. I mean John wall 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.920 I don't I don't even remember the last time I 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.160 saw him plays, did even play a game? Unless you're 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.120 like I feel like I haven't seen him playing like 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.040 three seasons, um and I've never even I've never even 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:02.080 seen the Wizards on national TV, like or DNC your ESPN. UM, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.760 so I just thought that was funny. Um. And then 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.080 the Anthony, the Anthony Edwards player comps to Vince Carter. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.600 When I heard that, I kind of just gotten offices, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.480 Like the dude's only six four and I haven't seen 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.480 an actually play a minute. So I will YouTube and 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.839 later on just a you know, trig his game on him. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.199 But he is he that athletic? Yes, and yes he 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.240 can get his shot. He I will say this, Jimmy, 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.080 thanks for the phone call. He can get a shot, 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.880 he can get you a basket. Yeah, mclu. But that 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.160 nobody's as athletics. No, that's not a fair comparison. I 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.439 saw the Rigor had Oladipo as a comp who's a 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.800 little smaller than Vince Carter. He also had Eric Gordon, 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.880 and I could see Eric Gordon. Yeah, I could see 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.400 that a little bit more. I mean, that's not fair. 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.040 He's just three radically different players though, But he's not 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.600 Vince Carter. Yes, see, not only Vince Carter, but Prime. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:13:00.560 They didn't even say downside of career Vince Carter, Vince Carter, Prime, 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.880 Vince Carter. Wow, Jesse and Los Angeles. Hey, Jess, welcome back. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.199 What do you have? Hey, good morning, DP, thank you 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.679 for taking my call today. Ye have a comment on 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.040 the Balls and a question for you all right. On 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.480 the bar Ball Seaton is kind of saying he's just 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.720 constantly putting a target on his kids back. And imagine 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.840 if you like, if you heard that in your lawns 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.680 of Ball's daughter's mom and you got to go to 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:31.000 thanksgiving your Christmas for that clown show. But on the Kings, 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.360 my sacrament of King's fanhood, the King's mark draft shows, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.959 I'm going up for killing Hayes about twelve whose player 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.719 companies as you mentioned, D'Angelo Russell, Gordon Trajis, And it's 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.000 just like if they go that route, it's bye bye 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.000 Deer and Fox Hello, five more years of irrelevance. Like 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.200 I know it's not the New York Jets, but is 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.640 there any hope for this franchise? I thought, I thought, 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.280 And thanks for the phone call, Jess. I thought last 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.640 year my Kings were going to make the playoffs. But 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.800 you know Vladie was not good in that job. You 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.600 got an owner who I don't know if he's a 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.160 positive or a negative. But you know, you got to 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.760 you gotta have something there. There has to be somebody 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.440 there that you go I can trust that they're going 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.840 to make the right decision, and they haven't had that 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.360 and some of their draft picks. I liked Aaron Fox, 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.080 but you know who else are you going to have? 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:27.240 Buddy Healed once out? Marvin Bagley is average. I thought 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.640 that they could cobble together a lineup that would be 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.960 competitive on a night in, night out basis, Yeah, mclub. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.040 You know Bagley's numbers are great on the rare occasion 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.480 he's on the court. He can't stay on the court 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.520 at all. Is that well that would be a problem, yeah, 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.560 because but he's another one. It doesn't matter how good 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.600 your center is. Centers can't win, right. Why do they 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.240 keep drafting these centers. I don't want to center. I don't. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.560 I mean James Wiseman. I don't know how Golden State 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.840 would use him or whoever's gonna draft him, and he 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.600 might be a perfect guy for them, but I don't 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:01.360 want a center. I can find centers. It's you know, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.400 getting guys who are matchup nightmares for you, Guys who 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.120 do something different. What is the ceiling? There is James 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.480 Wiseman going to be a great shooter. I know Jay 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.680 Billis loves James Wiseman, and I trust Billis when it 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.760 comes to, you know, sessing talent. And he called me 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.560 a great shooter yesterday, so obviously I think Billis knows talent. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.120 Shoe in Minnesota, Hey, Shoe Adpy one time, first time, 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:32.160 five eleven. It is classic Timberwolves to have the number 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.040 one pick in this draft of all drafts. My advanced 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.280 YouTube scouting skill of let me to be one hundred 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.640 percent on Anthony Edwards until you see quotes like when 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.240 asked when he got into basketball, I'm still not really 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.200 into it, he says, I love basketball. Yeah, It's what 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.240 I do. Boy, If that doesn't inspire confidence in a 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:54.400 potential number one pick, ESPN dot Com read the entire 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.160 story because this quote is standing out to people that 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.400 you got somebody who doesn't love the sport. I always 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.200 go back to Ryan Leaf, Ryan Leaf out of Washington State, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.280 great in the Rose Bowl. I don't think he loved football. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.760 I think he was good in football, but he didn't 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:17.040 say it. You know, Anthony Edwards is a talented player, 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.040 but to read the entire article and then tell me 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.240 if you come away with by that guy doesn't really 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.440 love playing basketball. He grew up in a tough environment, 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.240 lost his mom, lost his grandmother, and he's a good kid. 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.120 I heard him being interviewed on the Mothership on the 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.960 Jump a couple of days ago, and I really liked him. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.600 I liked what I heard and how he sounded. And 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.480 that's why when that quote came out and I went, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.120 that doesn't sound like the guy that I heard on 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.840 the Mothership. Sometimes these quotes taken out of context, all 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.600 of a sudden, it stands out for a little bit 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.240 more than what it really should. And that was my 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.120 take on it. I thought, Okay, I'm gonna be fair 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.720 to him. I'm assuming that he does want to play basketball. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.320 Football is one of his great loves, but he's going 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.119 to be a well compensated basketball player. Yeah, Paul. Do 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.600 you remember that really good wide receiver out of Colorado 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.240 who ended up playing for the Washington Redskins, Michael Westbrook? 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.800 Remember he was pretty good for a couple of years now. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.760 He did an interview I think it was at the 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.760 draft or just before the draft, and they asked him 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.720 about it was it always his dream to play in 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.920 the NFL. He goes, no, I've never watched an NFL 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:22.560 game before. I've never been to one or watched one 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.920 on TV, because because I just go out and play football. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.280 And I remember everyone was like, whoa, how do you 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.160 you're you're a twenty one years old you never watched 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.840 an NFL game before? It was It wasn't exactly a 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.960 red flag, but it was weird to hear someone say 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.680 he also beat up his teammate too. You remember that, 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.919 Stephen Davis. So going back at all, Stephen Davis. Yeah, 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.760 and no, I don't watch any football, but boy, I 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.960 love to beat up teammates. I think I read that 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.520 Trevor has barely ever watched this Srevor Lawrence. Yeah, NFL 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.480 football too. There it is. I mean, he wouldn't say that, 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.399 but college guys, some stars hate watching NFL football. It's 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.040 the most bizarre thing. Like guys who play. It's like, 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.760 you don't want to go home and starr. No, no, no, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:07.000 I do not. I listened to it growing up. But 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.119 when I'm done with the show, the last thing I 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.640 want to hear is somebody else pontificate. I've been enough 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.040 you know, a gas bag for three hours each day. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.119 I don't want to listen to somebody else tell me 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:22.040 everything that I need to know. I've already done that too. America. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.280 We'll take a break here, we'll talk to Chris Mannox. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.479 He'll join us coming up. I'm sure Mannox will not 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.879 be all in on my thoughts on LaMelo ball, I'm sure. 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:35.760 And Ricky Rubio his idol just got traded and traded 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.440 in the Toklhoma city and the Chris Paul deal.
