Speaker 2: eight forward out Of. Virginia all of a, sudden he
Speaker 2: gets a. Jumper where the fuck did the jumper come?
Speaker 2: From lockdown? Defense six' eight making a big splash in.
Speaker 2: The valley twenty eighth pick in the draft is shooting

Speaker 2: eight wingspan but he still plays like a shorty in
