WEBVTT - Warriors New Diamond in the Rough

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:01.639
<v Speaker 1>So the schedule just came out.

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, that was the day that Lebron James

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 2>decided he was going to announce this contract and just randomly.

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>And we talked about this last week.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.239
<v Speaker 2>And because of the nine to one fiasco last year

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 2>where I incorrectly forecasted what the Warriors would do, I

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 2>was asked by Warriors Reddit and Warriors Twitter whether I

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>would do that prediction again.

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>So I did. So I was looking through the schedule.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna go ten, and oh, I think

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna go nine to one.

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Ten and oh, they played Miami, they played Denver, they

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>played Phoenix, and of course they play Sacramento, which will

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 2>probably be their toughest test.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I know they've a lot of hype Sacramento, so I

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>think that's the case.

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>But then a lot of people are like, Okay, well,

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 2>they lost Gary Payton the second, they lost Otto Porter,

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>a huge role player there. They lost Bilicha to overseas.

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>They are still getting Wiseman back into the fold. They

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>still need more consistency for Kaminga. It doesn't seem like

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Kamingo really has his head on straight. But then it's

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>moves like this that make me confident in the Warriors

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>moving forward to their commitment to continue to find uncut

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>jobs and turn them into certified dudes. Every year the

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 2>warrior's fine value in the draft, and every year we

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 2>dummies are shocked when they do so. The person that's

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>going to shock us, my prediction is Patrick Baldwin Jor

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:32.559
<v Speaker 2>this year.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>If you don't know.

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>His story, he's fascinating. At one point, Patrick Baldwin Junior

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>was a lock for the lottery. He was supposed to

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 2>be that guy. He had offers from every d one

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>school under the sun. Everyone was salivating over him. He

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>decides to turn down Duke and instead choose to play

0:01:54.080 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>for his dad at UW Milwaukee to rebuild their program.

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 2>He's a sixth I mean, stupid, very noble, but stupid,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>but in this case might actually work out, work out

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 2>in the long term.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>For him, six', nine two thirty. Forward he HAS nba.

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Moves at seventeen years, old he had a train wreck

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>OF i, mean he went TO Uw milwaukee and he

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>was trying to rebuild this team for his father to

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>keep his. Job so you knew it was going to

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>be a, mess but it was even more of a.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Mess he sprained his, ankle never really recovered from. That

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>he GOT COVID covid and he performed below, expectations never

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>really came back with any real. Force then he was

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>sent into free fall and the pre draft process looked

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 2>horrible and he sunk all the way to the bottom

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>of the first round At Summer.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>LEAGUE i, said, oh it's. CRAZY i was.

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Talking TO i want to, say somebody from The warriors.

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>ORGANIZATION i was, like, oh, Yeah Patrick Balwin, junior one

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>hell of a. Pickup kind of sad that he didn't

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>go to duke or one of THESE d one. PROGRAMS

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:00.679
<v Speaker 2>i think we could have seen, it how good he could.

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Be and they, go not sad for. Us he probably

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have been there for us if he would have

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>gone a, Duke so right into the soft hands Of

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Steve kerr and The Golden State. Warriors Patrick balwin goes

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>INSERT dj collin another. One, yeah as it, Is i'm

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna call HIM pb AND. J that's what he's gonna

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>be known. As just wait for The, welches grape, Juice

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>WELCH'S pbj uncrustable.

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Ad but what we know is That Golden state is

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 1>one of the few.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Franchises who has them to invest in a player that

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>they believe that they can contribute even though it's not right.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Away like listen the best example of.

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>That people are gonna hate me for, this but Like

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>James wiseman played three games For, Memphis like we know

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't. Ready he was literally seven feet tall in high,

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>school just dominating dudes based on his athleticism and his.

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Size he doesn't want to.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Play, basketball this, guy he's going to The warrior, system

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>one of the most complex offenses in defensive coverage type.

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Systems we knew he was gonna be a deer in.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Headlights they knew IF i can see, it these smarties

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>can see it.

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Too and they were, like we don't. Care his upside's too.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Good we have to just take him at number two,

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>overall even though he's played a total of three games

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>For Penny hardaway and they're, like, yeah, project that's fine with.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Us So Patrick Baldwin junior is even much less of

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>a project Than James. Wiseman so how the hell does

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>a team that wins a championship still manage to get

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a lottery quality.

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Pick that's What Golden state, does.

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>And they rarely Miss they apparently Love Patrick Baldwin, junior

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and from what he's already learning about The Golden State,

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>way he might actually end up being The steel of the.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Draft that is my.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Prediction people are going to be talking about, him not this,

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>year this, season maybe the following season as a breakout

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>player of the. Year there was a recent article from

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>AN Nbc Bay area writer Where Dalton johnson goes in

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 2>deep dive into What baldwin has already learned From Golden

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>state in his short time. There first of, all The

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 2>warriors in the pre draft meeting were floored by how

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>much Film Patrick Baldwin junior. Watches and if you're a casual,

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>fan what you may or may not know is college

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>players they don't watch.

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Film they don't watch any.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Film they don't that's not even what they really do

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 2>in terms of their responsibilities as a player for A

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 2>d one. Team just doesn't really. Happen so he says, This,

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>baldwin as you, know.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.240

<v Speaker 2>and it's just important for me to be multifaceted and

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>learned from. Everyone you can just almost Feel Steve kerr

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.280

<v Speaker 2>Golden state players that they. Find the fact they Found Auto,

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>porter who by the, way was a max player who

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 2>took a veteran minimum to play for a championship team

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>and then head back To.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Toronto this is what they.

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Do they find guys that fit the, system fit the,

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>mentality fit the body, type and then they just. Win

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>they just plug them and play them In Like Otto,

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.680

<v Speaker 1>kd like release point might, be.

0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Unguardable unblockable so if anyone could fix, his shot who

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:02.240

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing over and, over again and other

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>teams continue to pass on guys that they have no ability.

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>To develop that is.

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>A Skill jerry, west said finding value in the late

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.920
