WEBVTT - Trysta's Final 2023 NBA Mock Draft 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:06.640 You're tuned into Heat Check with Trista Quick. On this 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.240 episode of the Heat Check, it's draft day and I 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.200 am here with my mock draft to get you ready 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.960 for all of the action tonight. I kept seeing mocks. 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.479 See Me had a draft, mop He Hollinger had a draft, 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.880 mock Ringer had a draft, Monk Espiano a mock draft, 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:22.640 And I thought to myself, don't you want to hear 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:26.840 from me? Probably? Probably not. I'm not a draft expert, 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.720 but I'm gonna take a stab at it just so 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.880 I can go back and we'll see how right or 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.360 how wrong I am. It's going to be a wild ride. 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.720 So strap in, I've looked at fit, I have looked 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.640 at organizational style and the type of players that they like. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.080 Get yourself armed with a little TK knowledge before everything drops, Nick, 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:55.680 Let's get into it before we get into them. Mock 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.200 Draft twenty twenty three, the Quick mock uh, as we 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.960 call it. There's a bit of breaking news to deal 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.119 with both Scham's and wojoo. This is the bomb. This 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.440 is the sound of the Shawn's bomb. Are saying we 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:13.760 are very near a dill that will send Christaps Porzingis 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:20.600 to the Boston Celtics. Wow for Malcolm Brogden. Malcolm Brogden 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.360 goes to the Clippers and Marcus Morris a small coffee 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:29.200 aka a mere coffee, and the thirtieth pick goes to Washington. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.360 A couple of thoughts. One man, Washington just does not 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.000 want any salary on their books. They're like Kristaps is 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.319 about to opt in. No, you're not gonna opt in. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.200 You're fucking out of here. They want picks, even if 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.120 it's the thirtieth pick. They don't care. They want nothing 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.280 on their books. Number two, the Malcolm Brogden experiment clearly 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.320 did not work. This is now three teams that have 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.240 had Malcolm Brogden on their roster and he has lasted 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.200 a single season. Take that with it what you will. 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:04.200 And three and three Clippers need a point guard. That's 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.560 an interesting fit. Ad Malcolm Brogden to the scrap heap 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.639 of players who are never healthy. And now you've got 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.000 yourself even more of a kerfuffle. All of that to say, 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:17.640 from Boston's salary cap perspective, I don't understand it. The 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.200 Celtics have worked very hard to keep their payroll under control. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.079 They have I remember the good old days of twenty 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.359 twenty twenty twenty one, when the Boston Celtics got rid 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.840 of Aaron Baynes at the deadline just so that they 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.600 could avoid the salary cap luxury tax. I mean, this 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.960 is now blowing that whole mentality out of the water, 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.600 making Christasporzingis, who opts into his player option thirty six 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.440 million dollars the highest paid member of the Boston Celtics. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.520 That includes Tatum who makes thirty two point six, Jalen 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.639 Brown who makes thirty one point nine, Machis Smott who 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.200 makes eighteen point five, Derek my name's Kodak Black. But 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.640 when you see me, why White seventeen point one million, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.720 a time Lord eleven point six million, and al Horford 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.560 ten million. That, folks, is one hundred million dollars between Tatum, Brown, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:16.160 and Christas Porzingis and fifty seven million for Smart, White, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:21.120 Time Lord and Wharford. Oh suit youose the salary cap 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.800 for folks who don't do math is one hundred and 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.480 thirty six million. That is twenty one million dollars over 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.000 the cap for just seven players. And this is a 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:36.400 team that needs depth so bad, so bad they lost Brogden. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.560 They probably lose Pritchard, who has been asking to be 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.400 traded for the last twenty four months, who makes five million. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.800 It's very confusing from a basketball standpoint. I have no 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.080 idea how this is going to work. The only thing 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.120 that my brain can comprehend is that christaus porzingis now 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.920 is the four time, Lord is the five, Tatum's the three, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.720 Jalen Browns the two, and Machus Smart and Derek White 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.640 are the ones. We'll have more on this tomorrow, but man, 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.600 is that one hell of a trade that shakes things up, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:10.800 maybe onto the draft. So that's the new segment. So 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.640 the NBA Draft is finally here. I wanted to give 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.760 you my thoughts I think how this is all going 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.880 to shake out. I'm gonna talk about the lottery and 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.040 only the lottery, because that's all I can do. One 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.600 through fourteen. We're talking about fit, we're talking about how 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.559 these front offices operate, and we're talking about the most 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.560 likely person to be drafted by the current holders of 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.839 each pick. I know there's going to be trades, I do, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.479 but in general, I'm not about to forecast that. That's 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.400 just too much that could go on with that. So 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.000 let's get right into it, no brain er. Number one. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.640 Victor Wamba Yama, French kid, eighteen years old, transcendent, next Braun, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:52.240 next Michael Jordan. Probably even more hype around him than that, 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:57.560 huge hands, seven to four in bare feet, probably the 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.039 best head on his shoulders of any elite player. That's 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.520 eighteen that I've seen. He says he's he's one with 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.160 and is free inside the universe, which is about as 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.920 enlightened as you're going to get. And that's just him 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.760 saying it in English, his second language. Really really interesting kid. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.799 I can't wait to watch him on the next level. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.800 He's rangy, he can do a bunch of different things. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.239 He's like a christavs Porzingis. We'll call it like three 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.680 point zero, right if we're talking about chat GPT three 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.760 Victor Wambiam's chat GBT point four. But let's pull back 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.719 the expectations a little bit. San Antonio is not winning 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.280 the title in his first year. He's not going to 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.760 explode onto the scene like Lebron did. He's not going 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.719 to become like how Aunt Edwards was with a human 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.080 highlight machine. He's probably going to struggle. He's seven to 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.440 four and probably one hundred and eighty pounds soaking wet, 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.800 so he's probably have a difficult time with Huger more 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.479 athletic players in the NBA. They're going to to knock 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.520 him off of his spot. Guys are going to crowd 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.760 him in the paint, try to block him. He's probably 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.880 not even gonna win Rookie of the Year. He's going 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.159 to take time to develop, as all centers do. And 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.919 let's face it, though his upside is insane, his upside 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:19.200 is somewhere around Katie and Jannis and Christas for zingis 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.800 in that realm. He's got to need to put some 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.360 weight on him. But truthfully, everyone who sees him thinks 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.000 that he is going to be the guy, maybe the 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.280 new face of the league for many years to come. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.880 And I think that's a possibility as well. Home run 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.600 for San Antonio best potential fit they could even have. 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.920 They absolutely hit it out of the park just by 0:06:37.920 --> 0:07:00.040 winning a lot of ingers. Number two Brendon Miller a 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.000 lot of smoke screen here. Charlotte has been playing with us. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.839 They have been toying with our emotions. Will it be Scoot, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.320 will it be Brandon Miller? Ultimately I believe that they 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:10.800 are going to do the safe thing, which is the 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.480 pair a six' eight six' nine Wing with. LaMelo Ball 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.880 is scoot a, better, Player yes does he have a? Higher, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.040 Upside yes but ultimately that would Signal to LaMelo that 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.880 they have no faith that he is going to be 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.600 the ball dominant player for them for, the future and 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.239 that is a. Bad Thing surround LaMelo with. More talent 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.400 his physical attributes are all of the rage IN the nba. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:38.240 Right now, six', eight knockdown, Shooter movement shooter, he can playmake, 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.280 he can defend he can. Switch on defense all of 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:46.000 these things are very valuable traits in. A Raw Prospect, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.880 Like brandon miller i'm not. SOLD on him i am 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.480 just personally not. Sold on him the drawbacks for, Me 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.720 on him this is THE only Player i think i'm 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.400 going to. Do drawbacks on THAT'S how much i feel 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.560 that there are, drawbacks for him and none of. Them 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.480 are carrecteres he has Hips Like, a ken doll does, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.040 not get separation does not finish well in the. Paint 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.720 with contact that has been a challenge for him pretty. 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.440 Much through college doesn't have a ton of moves, around 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.160 THE rim and i want to know what that's going 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.960 to be, like, against bigger stronger more athletic players versus 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.920 players in college that he. Could just bully doesn't have the, 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:27.040 tightest handle either, very loose handle. Very tight hips Moving 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:31.960 on to Portland. Number three, SCOOT hell yeah i am 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.520 so excited about this Because number one scoot would have 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.760 been the number one pick in. Last year's draft, number 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.360 one pick Maybe not maybe pali still would have been 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.880 number one in this Year's draft if, victor wasn't there 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.440 and probably the number one in twenty twenty four and. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.400 Twenty twenty five the. Kid is transcendent He Could be john. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.360 Morant but bigger He Could be derreck rose with a 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:58.199 better shot AND with more i guess. Versatility on defense 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.560 he could be a guy that you really, say to 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:06.520 yourself this is someone That really was charlotte fucked Up 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.800 not taking he's explosive. In every way he is just walking. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.840 To get chips when you see him literally just walking, 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.600 down the, court, you're like man this. Guy is explosive 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.400 everything he does shows you how. Athletic he is he 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.600 attacks the. Basket really well he has a ton of moves, around, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.240 the rim eurosteps, elite handling ability be able to get 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.000 separation very, quick first step has the ability to elevate 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.679 like jaw has mits The Size, of MICHAEL jordan's which 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.679 i believe is like the seventh or eighth LARGEST hands 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.760 in nba history. At six' four he can shoot the, 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.760 mid range really well. The floater really well and, for, 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.640 folks who say, well he can't shoot which, used TO 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.400 be me because i think he shot like thirty two 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.120 percent FROM Three in the g league for the two years, That, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.319 he was there. Like do not fear some of those 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.600 shots were terrible when you're talking about high quality three 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.480 points when guys. Go under the screen. He shot forty 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.120 percent it's not like. His jumper is broken it's not 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.360 like you look at the, shot and, you say oh boy, 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.480 that has a hitch that. Has a low release no. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.240 Pretty Good looking shot, But Jah couldn't shoot, Derreck Rose 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.680 couln't shoo. Jimmy butler couldn't shoot and guess what they're. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.800 All the real deal portland will be fucking. Elated to 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.319 get scooted if You Have to trade damian lillard in 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.200 the next, whatever amount of Time Or even if damian 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.559 lillard stays and he, Moves on Via Retirement scoot And 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:37.880 shaden scoot and, shaden just say it think about it 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.240 in your mind, and say to yourself that's the most 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:46.760 explosive ATHLETIC backcourt, maybe an nba History six' four explosive 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:52.000 scoot six. Six forty one inch vertical. SHADEN can, do all, Kinds, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.600 i mean Come On. Scoot playmaking for, shaden sharp The 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.280 problem Though. Is for portland Avellete Garden. His name is 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.760 damian lillard? Will they exist all. Together we're gonna find 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.280 out this is one of those scenarios, where You say 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.560 to yourself if dame is going, to make us trade 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.280 him because we take a potential SUPERSTAR who could Be 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.480 All nba or an all star and, maybe two years 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.640 from now that's just a risk we're. Willing to take 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.160 number four this is, Where It, GETS super interesting amen 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.400 thompson I think, is what the Rockets do because why the. 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.400 Rockets have plenty Of shooters they don't need. They have 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.240 plenty of scorers that's pretty much. All they have are 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.840 scorers they don't need another guy who, wants to dominate 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.040 the ball unless that he wants to dominate the ball. 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.200 And then Pass It. Immediately that is. Amen thompson in 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.040 A nutshell The fit for houston and. AMEN is hand 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.160 and glove i think that's, the BEST fit for them 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.080 and i think it's. The best fit for him he 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.720 can handle. The ball like a guard. He has amazing 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.720 court vision he. Has passing ability for days he's gonna 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.200 be able to slash and Kick And, create Opportunities For, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.080 jabari Smith, for jalen Green. For shanngoon for. kJ martin 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.559 he can score even though his, jumper is a little 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.120 suspect he still can shoot in. The mid range pretty 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.760 well his athleticism is probably some of. The highest, in the, 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:14.400 Draft killer instinct amazing. Crossover his handles are elite this 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.320 Is The kind of, player ime udoka dreams of especially 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:23.560 considering how high. His upside, Is on defense number five this. Is, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.560 Where it Gets Interesting. Detroit DETROIT and troy weaver the 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.560 gm said he is going to swing, for the fences 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.920 while folks there's no higher prospect in this draft that 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.559 hasn't been taken at five or hasn't been Taken Before. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.679 Or five Than Auster thompson, he's the tewod thompson twin Better, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.640 defender than his brother amon and, if this is a 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.680 term he's got a more floatier sort of he's A, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.800 more floatier player than. Amen If that makes sense kind of, 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.840 plays a little up higher kind of moves his body 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.800 up and down as he's going through. And getting, to 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.560 the rim less aggressive, but certainly Has, the ability just 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.400 like amen. To yam on your ass This. Is a 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.960 fit for detroit they need. Guys who can provide versatility 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.920 his shots a Little. Bit more steady than amon's if 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.320 he wants to Be a corner Shooter for Cad and 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.679 for jade and ivy. WHEN they're, attacking the rim i 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.800 mean These would Be, Three Guys jada And Ivy. Kid cunningham, 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.880 and oustar thompson excuse me that would all be able 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.320 to attack the rim and. Put pressure on. THE defense 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.320 very unselfish guy I think the reason that detroit picks 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.400 him is less about. Fit And More about, upside like 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.960 troy weavers said we want. To swing for the fences 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.920 feels like a Potential fun Fun, Pairing With, jada and 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.960 ivy Caid Cunningham, and of course jalen. Duran Who's another 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:48.440 athletic freak no shade number six also A. Very interesting 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.880 situation for orlando what? Do they do this TEAM needs, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.000 a three and d wing and that is The kind 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.319 of talent That. Orlando will get in whitmore this is 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.160 a Guy Who, could, be like miles bridges Smaller A. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.960 Little bit smaller miles bridges if you think about what 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.880 he did before he beat. The shit out of people 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.520 he was doing crazy things. The Defenses across the league 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:14.920 the magic love, guys like. This long athletic have versatility 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.440 he can shoot it. A little bit. As well he. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.280 Can rebound he's very explosive you saw that in his 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.000 some of the pre draft Workouts. That they, put on 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.960 twitter extremely, explosive getting to the. Rim can dunk really 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.920 well He's Kind of like what sadik. Bay was supposed to, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.240 be he can. Off ball cut really well Just really 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.600 will give the magic some more opportunities for their. Team 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.280 to speed up play. He's really good in transition they'll 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.200 be able to really speed up play. Off of makes 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.520 as well orlando was twenty sixth in, pace OF play 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.960 Last year so i. Think cam would really, help something 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.520 tells me though. That they don't do this something tells 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.280 me they. Do SOMETHING like even weirder but i think 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.640 this is a really Good. And safe pick for orlando 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.240 considering that they have a million guards and they keep saying. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.440 THAT they like them all i, would not Be shocked 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.360 though if the magic did want went guard And Maybe 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.000 got like an anthony black or reached for A Player. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.840 Who shooter like grady dick but this feels to me 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.800 like the Best. Positional fit For the. Magic THINK about, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.520 cam whitmore like i Said Like a slightly smaller miles bridges. 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:40.880 Before he beat. His, Girlfriend Let's go seven UH jerris 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.600 Walker is who i think indiana. Will, Take at seventh 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:49.280 pick again INDIANA needs. A Three. AND d wing jeris 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.200 walker i think a lot of people thought before we 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.400 were all in the mock game that he, probably would 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.640 go top five. And maybe he still Does. MAYBE he 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.640 goes to detroit i think he's one of the best 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.080 three indie Wings In. The draft named brandon miller indiana 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.480 was twenty sixth, in defensive Rating Last year even with 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.880 miles turner on the, floor for the entire year who 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.680 by all means is. A really good rim protector he's really. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.280 Good off ball as well he's one of the best 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.760 weak side rim protectors. In all of college hoops he 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.280 can do everything from guarding one to. Five blitzing three 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.480 point shooters and. Here's a little fun fact the only 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.960 other freshman to be drafted in the past ten years 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.840 with a six percent block rate and thirty Five Percent. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.000 From three is chet, holmgren he's not a superstar but 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:38.800 he Can make star. Players like, caliburton even better to 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.800 me this would be A home run Pick For. Indiana, number, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:49.320 eight washington wizards okay folks. So this PICK'S really hard 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.360 the new gm and front office in general are. A 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.520 bit of a mystery you've got let's. Just kind Of Go, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:01.040 backwards you've got WILL. Dawkins who's the new Gm He 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.840 Scouted for the oklahoma city. Thunder for Over A decade 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:09.800 you've got Michael Winger worked ALSO with sam presty at 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:14.359 okc And Then he worked With, lawrence frank for THE clippers. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.080 So he's got okce Roots And, then you have travis 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.640 slank who's regarded one of the best Talent evaluators who 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:24.200 came from Atlanta. And before that the warriors The Question 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.240 is who is michael? Winger going to emulate more is 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.000 He Going to emulate More Sam. Presty or more lawrence 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.720 frank but you've got TWO other, guys who have okc 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.399 roots and that means to me that they take a. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:39.360 Player they need, a guard so to me they TAKE 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.080 a player who, an okac Team Would. Take Which is 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.080 anthony black Anthony Black's, player comp is josh giddy, a 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.480 kid who, is big who can, pass who has court 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.040 vision who HAS. An insanely high basketball iq and they 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.720 do not care that. He has no jump shot. Washington 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.320 seems To Love him they brought anthony. Black in for 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.399 two workouts and, if, you think To yourself well don't the? 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.600 Wizards NEED a Scoring guard and i think, i've Heard 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.879 that a lot and i've gone. Back and forth On 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.199 This is it a kobe Buffkin Or? Is it an, 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.879 ANTHONY black AND to me i think. Okac would, like 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.560 them both But Really, when you had BRADLEY beal who, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.919 led the nba in? Points what did you have you had. 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.440 Them as a plan team so maybe you want to 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.960 go a different direction. And start trying new things scoring. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.000 Isn't the entire issue here you kind of need a 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:32.480 playmaking guard. Who can. Also play defense number. NINE there's 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.960 a Possibility here i think that okasee trades UP to 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.800 This spot or i. Think utah stays right here and, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.280 takes the same Player Themselves. And that is. Blaal koolibali 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.880 utah needs athleticism we know that they need more front court. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.280 Support that can, play defense and no one to me 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.800 Is Really, more athletic Than Bala Kolabale who is victor. 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.800 Wambingyama's metro ninety two, TEAMMATE the guy could legit i 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.840 think to me be. The steal of it, draft he's 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.480 six 's eight he has. A seven to three Wingspan 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.720 he's actually bigger than kawhi who, has the exact same 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.400 wingspan And we all know. What kauai ended Up Being 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:15.399 french writers compare Bela kulibali to a young yannis because 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.920 he has a slim build who it, looks like from 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.880 his body from his shoulder with just from how he 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.800 moves that. He's Gonna definitely fill out another french basketball 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.320 writer wrote that He wouldn't be surprised if blal reached six' 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.320 nine or. Six' ten, before he's done growing who super 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.040 athletic ONE Of The Best, defenders in the lnb french 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.359 pro league one of, the most efficient scorers in the 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.439 draft a zero point Eight nine points per possession for 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:44.240 him utah could slot him in at the three Or 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.600 the Four to go along with markinen and kessler and 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.000 have one of the most exciting. Young front court. LINES 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.240 in the league let's MOVE forward i really like the. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.480 Law i really like him number Ten this could be a, 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:00.000 steal for dallas if they don't, stay if they don't 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.560 trade that pick which a, lot Of people think that 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.280 they will but i'm not so sure that they will 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.040 because teams are trying. TO fleece if they keep Their 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.320 Pick i think a player like taylor hendricks could be. 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:14.320 A very, obvious draft for this pick why well he 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.159 could be the, best Off ball defender in the. Draft 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.000 and dallas we know. Needs defense they traded their defenders 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.800 away they were twenty first in defensive rating last year 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.800 and that was including the games Before The Trade deadline 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.760 When They. Had dorian finney smith and spencer dimwiddie. So, 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.119 It was just abysmal for them, hendricks he's not like 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.800 an elite scorer but his, one offensive strength is spot 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.840 up shooting Which is a. Very, big need for. Dallas 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.840 and elsewhere Right he's Super athletic You could see, luca 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.440 and kyrie if, kyrie comes back getting, him the ball 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.680 pick and pop situations and. Him being able to. Score 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:53.520 that way a very athletic guy only player in college 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.200 basketball last year who had thirty, five plus dunks and 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.439 sixty plus threes so he's going to be. Able to, 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:02.760 shoot from deep, as well in, fact only four freshmen 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:04.960 by the way in The Past, decade have pulled that 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:10.080 off benedict, MATHERN Which, Is Insane, at His Size. Rj 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:15.359 barrett lonzo ball and ben macklamore so. Pretty much one 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.600 bust of those four he Could end up. Being a 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.840 steal for dallas at ten some people, think HE'LL go 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.119 as early as five but i think he's going to. 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.960 Slip just based on need number eleven here's where It 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.600 gets really. Interesting to me for orlando as well orlando 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.880 FINISHED in the bottom ten, in the Nba in three 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.240 point percentage and the magic just shot thirty. Four percent 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.720 from three this Past Season, you gotta kind of? Take 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.600 Grady dick don't you you. Do grady dick is an 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.800 elite shooter he shot forty percent from, three from college 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:51.040 six attempts a game and the list of players who 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.719 have shot forty percent from three and scored fourteen points or. 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.760 More per game is very very limited It is limited 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:02.520 to players such as ojo not starting off great because. 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.639 He GOT kicked Out Of The, league But, I Continue. 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:09.880 Gary trent junior, DI'ANGELO russell Tijuan Porter, It Gets, better 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:15.640 I Promise. Jamal murray kevin durant and grady Dick. This 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.840 is a huge need for orlando. They were a Terrible 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:22.560 Perimeter shooting team. They were having palo bancaro shoot threes. 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:26.080 That Was just not. A good scenario but orlando's a wildcard. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.320 THEY want athleticism in length as well i Could See, 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.600 them taking a player like kobe buffkin even though they, 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.399 say they don't need, a point guard, because he is 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.280 long he is rangy, he can do a bunch of, 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.240 things and he's a very decent Shooter Versus, a guy 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:43.240 who maybe like grady, dick who's, a really good perimeter, 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.440 shooter can rebound can attack the. Rim but can't play 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.000 defense as, much IT may be is less versatile but 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:50.719 I Still am going, to stick. With grady dick at 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.840 eleven number twelve this Would, be a home run pick 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:55.879 for okay. See If they stay At the spot if 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:59.080 Orlando doesn't draft buffkin at. ELEVEN and, Belala, is off 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.119 The Books. I think okay see takes kobe bufkin This 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.320 Maybe is the team that promised. Kobe, Buffkin That they 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:08.760 would draft him apparently kobe, bufkin has a promise from 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:10.600 a team which is why. He shut all of his 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:15.399
