It 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.840 was Daryl Morey's first draft for the seventy Sixers and 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.640 it did not disappoint. We all came together as a 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.840 new executive team and dock myself, Elton and all the 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.640 key editions in a very short window that made it 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.480 it's super intense from draft picks. It is kind of 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.560 crazy enough being a teammate of Vin tim Is now 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.600 just after seeing him in the gym in a shop 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.040 grinding all summer to trade acquisitions getting seth you know 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.320 you can argue for him as the best shooter in 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.600 the NBA Draft Night twenty twenty had it all tons 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.520 of prep going to this to be ready for every 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.640 scenario that comes up. Very excited about the picks and 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.240 the fit with the roster. Here for more Tyrese, Maxie 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.120 and Isaiah Joe as Lauren Rosen and I react to 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.120 a wild day on this draft recap edition of the broadcast. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.800 It might be two thirty eight in the morning in 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.760 the East Coast back here in Philadelphia, the seventy six 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.600 Ers twenty twenty Draft Train continues to chug on along. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.760 Lauren Rosen twenty twenty speaks for itself seventy six or 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.440 is twenty twenty Draft Night change a pace? I liked it. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.960 What a day from sort of start to finish. This 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.080 was one of the more exciting drafts, at least for 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.800 a team that I've been with personally, that I've ever had. 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.360 I mean, if I guess starting the night with five picks, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.800 you knew it was going to be interesting, and everything 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.680 that happened from the moment we were on the clock 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.200 was really cool. Like you said, two thirty in the morning, 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:40.920 I didn't know if I should brush my teeth or 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.520 off coffee before we did this, so I did both. Now, 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.959 in full disclosure, it's two thirty eight in the morning 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:51.320 for some of us, but not all of us. Go ahead, 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.240 you want to shame me on the podcast, you have 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.000 to do. There's no shame. No, there's no shame. I 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.440 just think that facts need to be acknowledged. I mean, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:02.040 it's still late in Houston, Texas. Yes, it's only one 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.520 forty in the morning. Here caught just an important distinction, 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.240 but we felt like it was important. It was our 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.440 podcasting duty to have a fresh episode out as fast 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.320 as we could on the heels of a huge night 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:21.200 for the seventy sixers. Most things we can discuss something 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.959 we may not fully be able to discuss until something's happened. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.880 But all in all, the vibes were great. I was 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.880 really lucky I got to be at the training complex 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:37.560 on draft night and overall, just great fresh energy in 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.320 the building. I think everyone rightfully walked out of the 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.919 war room at the end of the night with pats 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.560 on the back, a little dabs, even with face masks on, 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.280 that sort of thing. It was some really good energy 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.200 because it was a successful, productive night, Laren for the 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.640 seventy sixers. Not only did they get talent in the draft, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.760 they got talent through trade, they got talent with value, 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.600 and they got talent that is going to help them 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.959 get to a place they want to be this year 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.959 by changing the dynamic of the roster, which by the 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.040 end of the night you could tell what the mission was, 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:14.160 and the roster looks different and noticeably different before free 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.120 agency even starts, And by the time free agency starts, 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.800 it's going to be time to start training camp. This 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.560 whole thing, like I can't wrap my head around how 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.840 quickly it's all going. But today was a good place 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.280 to start because I feel like, even if this isn't 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.840 the full final iteration of this twenty twenty one season roster, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.480 we have a better idea of what it's going to 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.960 look like and who might be key in the starting lineup, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.480 in the rotation. It is cool to see the way 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.000 that the team has kind of changed since when we 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.680 woke up. I suppose yesterday morning, no doubt about it. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.480 It was evident by the end of everything, the seventy 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.360 sixers wanted shooting. They want to be able to space 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.400 the floor on offense and build things around. They're two 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.760 young cornerstones in All Stars to Ellenbiid and Ben Simmons. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.920 We're going to talk about Tyrese Maxie, We're gonna talk 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.840 about Isaiah Joe and Paul Reid and Seth Curry. But 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.200 to me, Lauren, one of the most fascinating things of 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.680 the whole entire deal was that there was a front 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.760 office with star power. Darryl Moorey hasn't even been on 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.359 the job for three weeks. You couple him with the 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.200 likes of Elton Brand and some other new executives not 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.520 to get too too granular just yet. But there were 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.800 a lot of new pieces in the front office, with 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.960 some parts that remained from last season as well, and 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.440 they were able to come together and have I think, 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.760 by all accounts, if you would ask anyone who files 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.560 the league a really successful and good night, it was intense, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.880 mostly because we all came together as a new executive 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.919 team and DOC myself, Elton and all the key editions 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.960 in a very short window, so that made it it's 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.000 super intense. I think, you know, merging, you know, merging 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.800 these multiple perspectives. I strongly believe the best decisions are 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.560 made when multiple people, multiple experts come together and work 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.320 together to make a decision. And you know, that was 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.719 a big part of the night. Other than that, like 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.359 it was just a lot of work. I mean, COVID 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.440 is tough, we're all dealing with it. But honestly that 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.600 that was a sidelight. You know, we were so focused 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.760 that we didn't notice it well, And they've been saying 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.120 it all week, right, the folks that we've gotten to 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.840 speak to have discussed the fact that it seems like 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:30.680 despite the newness among DOC rivers, Daryl Morey, prosper Carengua 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.840 Peter didnw This is a new squad, and there's some 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.320 people that are that are holdovers, people that are veterans 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.560 of the seventy six organization. But something that they've all 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.880 said is that they feel very comfortable with each other. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.640 They've been challenging each other. They've had really productive conversations. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.240 And I guess when you're able to challenge each other 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.120 quickly and honestly and start to gel and build that 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.680 kind of chemistry as an office, you can do some 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.960 pretty cool things pretty quickly. For me, Lauren, I'll be honest. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.120 Going into the night, I kind of wondered whether or 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.720 not we would even see the seventy sixers pick at 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.800 number twenty one in the first round, and how they 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.960 were going to make use of all five picks that 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.120 they had. But as we saw the first round emerge 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.480 and unfold, there was that run of some prospects with 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.040 great shooting ability in the mid teens. Then we saw 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.320 some bigs go and then you got to a point 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.240 where around seventeen or eighteen when you were like, all right, 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.280 there's going to be a couple of guys who could 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.960 be great fits for the seventy six ers at twenty one. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.440 If they ended up staying there, then they pluck a 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:35.200 guy like Tyrese Maxew's got a terrific pedigree at number 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.400 twenty one, a guy who I think a lot of 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.760 people might have put inside the top twenty, and the 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.120 Sixers got him at twenty one. Well, one of those 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.119 guys that would have put him inside the top twenty 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.040 is Darryl Moorey himself, who when he spoke at the 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.240 end of the night, he was probably as tired, if 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.200 not touch more tired than we are now, but he 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.839 said that he's a guy that you could have gotten 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.080 in the lottery, that maybe he expected to go in 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.320 the lottery, and the fact that he was available at 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.599 twenty one was a deal and probably a pleasure to 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.960 be able to bring someone in with that much talent, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.839 Like you said, pedigree. He's someone that has the stamp 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.080 of approval from one of his teammates now, Ben Simmons, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.120 who he worked out with in LA and Lebron James 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.880 as well. So anytime you've worked with those two prior 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.080 to entering the league, you're going to have an advantage. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.760 And that all came obviously after he had already built 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.040 up a pretty pristine reputation as an exciting prospect. So 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.960 all across the board, I think everybody's really excited to 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:33.480 get Tyrese into Philadelphia. And I like Daryl, like you 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.040 felt around eighteen nineteen, there were some really good players 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.280 on the board, so it felt like by the I'm 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.320 twenty one rolled around, you couldn't really go wrong, and 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.920 clearly the Sixers didn't. We're excited to have such a 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.200 blue chip prospect there top ten in high school. I 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.200 like guards, you can guard multiple positions, and he can 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.320 do that. Doc really wants to get out in transition. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.920 That's a big goal of coach Yager as well, and 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.200 Tyrese has a history of that. People have sort of 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.080 fixated on his shooting, but the reality is two things. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.960 One that you know, we do a lot of things 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.120 to try and we're look at mechanics, look at look 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.280 at other measurables to see how they're shooting the pros 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.720 and we're optimistic on his shooting. And then the overall 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.720 package outside of that, you know, we think, you know, 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.600 he's just a guy you get in the lottery, and 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.640 to get him at twenty one, where with at a 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.800 position of need, we're very excited about tyrese at Kentucky 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.240 for his freshman year last season, played in thirty one games, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:47.560 fourteen points, four and a half rebounds, three assists. He 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.360 also averaged around to steal per game forty two and 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.320 a half percent from the field thirty percent from three. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.199 He is learned what appears to be a physical specimen, 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.240 a beast, a guy who is strong, who can get 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.000 around the rim and do some physical things, and that 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.280 could be one of his great attributes coming in. And 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.840 it was also interesting to hear Daryl Morey talk about 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.839 the three point shooting and how the Sixers don't feel 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.600 that the percentage that was attached to Maxie's name in 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.800 college is what's ultimately going to translate at the NBA level. Yeah, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.800 that's exactly what I was going to add. That was 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.040 something that Darryl drew attention to in his press conference 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.120 that they didn't feel like that thirty percent number was 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.839 necessarily indicative of his potential from deep. You have to 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.040 keep in mind, these guys came off maybe the most 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.920 unconventional college basketball season ever. The sample size is a 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.360 little smaller, the situations were really different, especially once we 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:45.520 were in prime pandemic season in March. So I hope 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.800 that their eye for his shooting is correct. But like 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:54.160 you said, we found other shooters tonight, veterans and rookies alike, 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.480 So if that's something that they're optimistic about when it 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.880 comes to Maxie's game, it does appear that they didn't 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.600 go wrong in terms of any shooting opportunity in all 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.880 of today's acquisitions. Another part of this acquisition that really 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.880 excites me is he is a guy who, as we discussed, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.000 was projected to go high. Maybe some people had him 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.360 as a lottery pick. But now he's coming to a 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.080 team where he's not going to be asked to be 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.960 the guy. They will have a defined role for him 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.760 with other established players, remove some pressure from him, play 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.240 to his strengths, accentuate all the good that he can 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.719 do in his first year, and see where it goes 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.319 from there. Yes, there was shooting that the seventy six 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.600 ers added on Draft night. Will get into that in 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.040 a moment. But before we close the book on talking 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.560 about Maxie, you got a chance to sit in on 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:46.600 his media availability and listen. He was gushing, gushing on 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.960 the ESPN hit he did with Malika Andrews. I loved 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.320 how he closed his interview by saying, Philadelphia, you're not 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.240 going to regret this. But he's also got some superstar ties. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.559 It is kind of crazy enough being a teammate a 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.800 been s is now just after seeing him in the gym, 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.120 in the shop, grinding all summer, and you know, it's 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.520 a dream coming true. And I really appreciate guys like 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.600 him and Lebron. You know, they've just been telling me 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.080 to stay with it, keep grinding, and stay who I 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.440 am man, keep our personality and just because you know 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.480 you get drafted, that's not the end. That's not the 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.640 that's not what you know, the end goal. And that's 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.640 just as stepped in the building block and we're working. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.400 I've been putting in this work and this is for 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.360 you know, December twenty second, you know, when we step 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.760 on the court to compete against other teams. Well, we 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.240 talked about those superstars in Ben Simmons and Lebron James, 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.679 who obviously gave their stamp of approval maybe while they 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.040 were working out together, but then tonight on Twitter verse 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.240 as well. But I like what you said about the 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.880 emotion that he showed. Obviously this was a super unconventional 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.760 draft night, but in a lot of situations, maybe it 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.760 made the whole thing a little bit more real, a 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.920 little bit more raw. The way we got to see 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.840 them interacting with their families, I thought was really special, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.679 especially with a guy like Tyrese who had a very 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.520 emotional reaction and just on a human level. I have 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.199 to give props to someone that's willing to show their 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.920 emotions and willing to show how much this moment means 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.439 to them. I found it really special to be able 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.360 to watch his reaction. And then by the time he 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.360 got into the zoom, like you said, I was on there, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.280 and he was just exuberant. He was so excited. He 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.240 clearly is chomping at the bit ready to get to Philadelphia, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.520 and it seemed like he was still sort of basking 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.280 in the afterglow of it all as he should. As 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.520 the timeline of the night win Tyrese Maxie acquired. I 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.000 think it was a little bit before ten o'clock, not 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:39.319 too long after that, on the phone some notifications there 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.559 were indicators that something was coming, which was ultimately confirmed. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.800 Seventy six ers acquiring Seth Curry from the Dallas Mavericks. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.040 Josh Richardson going to Dallas in the trade. We thank 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.000 you Josh Richardson. Loved him as a human, he was 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.560 terrific all around, great guy, enjoyed being around him last year. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.000 I know you had a very similar experience as large. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.200 But Seth freaking Curry man coming in with the three 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.000 point clip that he's shot at over the last two years, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.720 better than forty five percent from three. He's hit over 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.200 one hundred ten threes in each of his last three seasons. 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.600 Really a meteoric rise in the NBA level between Dallas 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.360 and Portland over parts of the last three seasons. What 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.200 a get, What a get? Indeed, And if I may, 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.360 just before we jump all the way in with Seth Curry, 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.600 I want to reiterate what you said about Josh Richardson. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.800 What a phenomenal individual, such a pleasure to work with 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.880 from day one. We see a lot of players come 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.479 and go, but he's someone that really left an impression. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.280 So the MAVs have a super high character, really funny, 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:46.360 really interesting individual and I'll definitely miss seeing Josh in 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.120 the locker room. I know if he's not listening to this, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.480 but I just wanted to make sure I showered him 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.920 with a little bit of praise and positivity because he 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.000 was an absolute pleasure to be around, was kind to 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.400 everybody from top to bottom, and I just really appreciate that. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.240 We'll look forward to seeing him as an opponent. Wish 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.559 him all the best. Like you said, Seth Curry seems 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.560 like a wonderful fit for this team for many reasons. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.400 Obviously on court you listed some of those stats. He 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.680 is a great shooter, he comes from a pedigree, a lineage, 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.040 if you will, of great shooters, and he's someone who's 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.680 deal honestly makes a lot of sense for this team. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.120 He still has a few years left. It's a team 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.560 friendly deal now for the Sixers, and I think he's 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.440 going to be able to make a lot of impact 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.760 at a good sorry what's the word of looking for. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.320 He's gonna be able to make a lot of impact 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.800 at the right time when we needed him. And so 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.000 I think when it comes to getting someone that's a veteran, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.480 someone that fills the holes that this team needs, you 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.360 might not have been able to find someone much better 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.760 than Seth Curry. Having a truly gravity elite shooter really 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.600 changes the dynamic for Ben and Joel and those who've 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.200 watched the Sixers up close and personal, like you have 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.880 longer than me, know that when they've had when when Joe, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.960 l and Don have had that, it's actually insane. How 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.080 good those how good those lineups and how good those 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.400 teams played, you know, when everyone was healthy. So that 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.000 that was really the theme um for tonight, you know, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.840 getting getting set. You know you can argue for him 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.400 as the best shooter in the NBA. Um you know 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.760 was you know, it was just really exciting. It's amazing. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.360 He went undrafted, of course, out of Duke, and the 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.800 thirty year old is now the active leading three point 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.360 shooter among all NBA players. And that speaks to what 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.200 one of the philosophical missions was for this front office 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.320 coming into the night. Get some space on the floor 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:50.840 through shooting, creates more financial flexibility achieved from this trade. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.520 And yes, he is the son in law of Doc Rivers. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.240 He's married to Doc's daughter, Callie. We actually had a 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.000 chance to catch up with Doc as he was leaving 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.880 the war room after the draft on Wednesday night, and 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.160 of course we had to ask him, Hey, how do 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.360 you feel you got your son in law? And he's like, yeah, 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:07.960 I love the deal because he's my son in law. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.000 But make no mistake, we made this deal because he's 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.600 a great basketball player and you can't dispute that. And 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.000 he can get to the cup, he can fill it up. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.280 I'm just really excited to see a shooter like this 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.920 on a roster that also features Ben Simmons, Joel Embiad, 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.920 Tobias Harris. Yeah, and it's hard not to touch on 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.680 the family connection. Obviously, it's sort of storytelling gold there. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.760 But I do appreciate that that was sort of Doc's 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.720 first take that they wanted him because of his skills, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:40.040 and come what may, regardless of what the family dynamic 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.360 is going to be, this is someone that they wanted. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.720 And we have to remember that Doc also coached his 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:49.440 son Austin in LA, so he has experience balancing work 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.440 and family, church, in state, whatever you want to call it. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.640 And I think if anyone knows how to handle a 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.960 funny or different or unique dynamic, it's going to be 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.320 Doc Rivers. And I'm excited to see how that all 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.440 plays out. Doc said that he said, I've been down 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.920 a similar road before. I've coached my son, and now 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.359 I'm going to coach my son in law, and you 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.160 know I did ask him. I was like, well, when 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.280 did you start to catch win that this might have 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.240 been a possibility, He said for the last couple of days. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.760 It was something we were discussing and his daughter, Callie, 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.280 who works in the industry for CIA, the sports and 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.119 entertainment management company, He said, she was like hitting him 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.879 up every day, like where do we stand with this? 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.240 Where do we stand with this? And with all due 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.919 respect to Seth, it sounded like, and I don't want 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.760 to put words in Doc's mouth. The thing that he 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.840 was most excited about was that his two year old 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.560 granddaughter will now be in closer proximity to him. So, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.560 what a wholesome draft night development, which we're all about 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.199 here at the seventy six ers. We love the wholesome 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.760 content and better yet, if it's good basketball content, this 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.240 is a win win all across the board. And I 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.320 love just a little extra family dynamic coming into this team. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.439 So it's going to be great. I was really thrilled 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.680 with that move as well, Like we already said, tough 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.240 to lose a great guy like Josh, but also seems 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.520 like we're bringing in a great guy and Josh is 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.639 off to somewhere great. So it kind of feels like 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.760 a win win, win all across the board. All righty, 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.720 let's get back into the draft and some of the guys. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:18.520 The seventy sixers acquired Isaiah Joe with pick number forty 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.800 nine out of Arkansas. Spent two years at Arkansas and 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.119 during that time he shot the ball at a great 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.240 clip from outside the arc. Battled a little bit of 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.920 injury last year, but he was a name who was 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.760 associated with the Sixers for a couple of days, a 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.199 little bit of a period in the lead up to 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.280 the draft, and he was right there for him a 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.400 place that I'm not sure if many people thought going 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.800 in in terms of Mox would have thought that Joe 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.960 would have been there at that late stage, But there 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.240 he was. In the seventy sixers got another three point marksman. 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.159 They did, and like you said, they were able to 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.520 swoop him up maybe a little bit later than they expected. 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.679 We've talked about the value that the team gained today. 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.520 It's really incredible when you look at someone like Joe, 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:02.040 who was very respected among this class. In his most 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.840 recent season at Arkansas, averaged sixteen point nine points, four 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.240 point one rebounds, one point seven assists, one point four steals. 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.080 That steel number gets me excited too, because it seems 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.960 like the guys that we got not only can they 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.720 produce on the offensive end, but they fold into that 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.840 defensive mentality that Doc has been so open about discussing. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.960 He said today on his ESPN hit that he wants 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.120 to build one of the best defenses in the country, 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.120 and he thinks the offense will come. So it's cool 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.760 to see that that's something that he's been saying when 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.000 he first walked in a couple months ago about the 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.440 existing roster and still continues to apply to these young 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.960 guys that joined the Sixers today. So Isaiah Joe, someone 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.400 like you said, who was in the conversation and now 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.840 is officially in Philadelphia, hit over two hundred three pointers 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.800 in his two years at Arkansas, average just under seventeen 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:55.560 points per game. Last season, Isaiah Joe a seventy sixer, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.920 and he spoke on Zoom after getting picked. What I 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.920 bring into a team is my shooting ability, my ability 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.320 to stretch the floor. I can knock it down from 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.359 anywhere at any angle, off the catch, off the dribble. 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.720 I'm a capable ball handler. So if the team needs 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.720 me to bring down bringing the ball down the court 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:18.160 anytimes I can do that, and my IQ offensively and defensively, 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.680 I feel like my defensive persatility is actually really good. 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.760 I'm willing to sacrifice my body. I'll take a lot 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:29.240 of charges ievers around two charges of the game at Arkansas, 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:30.679 and so I'm willing to do that, and I use 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:32.840 my link to my ability. So I think the main 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.280 thing though, my ability to shoot the ball. And for 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:36.880 the final pick of the night for the seventy six 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:40.480 Ers at fifty eight, Paul Reid, three year big man 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.919 out of De Paul. He can score, he can rebound. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:49.120 Defense seems to be a strength, and I think it 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.160
