1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: this Wednesday. I'm more of Michael Olawa Candy than an 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Bennett, but welcome to the program. NBA Draft coming 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: up tonight. We got that covered a little bit later on. 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: Chris Mannix from Sports Illustrated, he'll join US Indiana head 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: football coach Tom Allen will stop by. They got a 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: big game with the Ohio State Buckeyes this weekend, twenty 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: one point underdogs. Phone calls are always welcome, so are 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: the emails over the tweets. We have a stat of 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: the day, Play of the day. McLevin will do the 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: honors with a poll question coming up. Sometimes the NBA 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: Draft is really easy. You just go, we'll take Lebron James, 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: or the Magic say we'll take Shaquille O'Neal, or the 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: Spurs say we'll take Tim Duncan. Tonight, not that kind 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: of draft. There's no sure thing, no number one player, 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: no obvious franchise transforming talent. Now there might be later on. 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: Usually what happens is we look at the top five 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: picks and then we forget about all the other picks 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,279 Speaker 1: in the first round. That's usual. Where you find your gold. 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: You got Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, LaMelo Ball. There's less 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: pressure on a team like the Timberwolves if they take 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: one of these players. Now, LaMelo is a little bit different. 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: He's got name recognition, He's like the NBA's Kardashian. But 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: everyone else in the draft just like LaMelo Ball developmental 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: prospect here. And maybe this is one of those drafts 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: that will be noteworthy because you'll have somebody like Janis 28 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: with the fifteenth pick overall in twenty thirteen, or Kobe 29 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: number thirteen back in nineteen ninety six. And I'm not 30 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: saying there's that guy out there, but there are those players, 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: and they're less known to us because there was no 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: March Madness. And some of these players who played overseas. 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Smart teams will have an advantage coming up tonight. We 34 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: may not know for some time who really did well 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: in this very unusual draft. And you start with Minnesota. 36 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota's going to take Anthony Edwards out of Georgia. I, 37 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: unlike most people, watched Anthony Edwards play games at Georgia, 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: not just highlights, and I think he's the safest pick, 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: and he's a you know, two way player. He's built, 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: he's built ready to play in the NBA right now, 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: and it seems like a little bit more of a 42 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: finished product than some of these other players. James Wiseman 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: played three games. I did watch the one game against Oregon. 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: I didn't. I watched a game with James Wiseman with Oregon. 45 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: And then you have LaMelo Ball and Golden State is 46 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: there at number two. There's talk that maybe they send 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: the second pick to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for 48 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: the fourth pick overall in Wendell Carter junior. Kevin O'Connor, 49 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: the NBA rider for the Ringer, is suggesting that as 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: a potential deal to keep an eye on. You know 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: how I feel about LaMelo and lo Angelo and LaVar Ball. 52 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: You know the dad, I get them all mixed up. 53 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: There's LaMelo, there's Lo Angelo, there's uh A, Lonzo LaVar. 54 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm not a big LaVar Ball fan, but I will 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: give him credit because he did develop these kids to 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: be top draft picks. Two of the three are going 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: to go in the top three or four picks in 58 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: the NBA draft. Now, maybe they've survived in spite of him, 59 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: But they have the talent. He said they were going 60 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: to be great, and they have been. I would take, 61 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: if I'm the Golden State Warriors LaMelo Ball. Now. The 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: reason why would is maybe I'm developing the next group 63 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: of stars on my team, the next team that's going 64 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: to come in after Steph Curry's done and Clay Thompson's done, 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Draymond Green is done. If I can get somebody who 66 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: I think is got a high ceiling, I'm not big 67 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: on a shot. I think he thinks he's Steph Curry 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: when he comes over the half court line. But understand 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: this that LaVar Ball is extremely selfish, wanting all the 70 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: credit with what goes on with his kids. His kids 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: on the floor are extremely unselfish. When you think about 72 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: their best traits, they pass the ball. LaMelo and Lonzo 73 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: are extremely good at seeing the floor and passing the ball. Now, 74 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: if I could have LaMelo Ball work with Steph, work 75 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: with Clay, two of the greatest shooters of all time, 76 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: maybe there's hope that I'm developing into something really unique 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: there as a six six sixty seven point guard. I've 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: watched him since his freshman year in high school actual 79 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: games with him, I thought he was undiscipline. His shot 80 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: is low, but his ability to see the floor. My 81 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: concern is he plays as much defense as I do, 82 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: and his shot selection can be erratic. I think because 83 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: he hasn't played discipline basketball in his career that will 84 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: hurt him. But as far as a ceiling goes, LaMelo 85 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: Ball intrigues me, I just have to say to Dad, 86 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: you can't come to the games. Yes, Steven, how do 87 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: you think it would go over with Steph, Clay and 88 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: the guys on the roster? Now when you say, hey, 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: we're not drafting somebody that can help you right now. 90 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: We want you to train the next generation, Well, he 91 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: can help you now. I'm just saying he could be 92 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: your star player in three or four years. Let's say 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: four years, what's Steph Curry going to be? Like Clay Thompson. 94 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: Will he's still be there? Draymond Green? Will he still 95 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: be there? But if I have somebody who I think 96 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: is unique and is a great passer, he's six six 97 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: sixty seven, I've got a matchup advantage every time I 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: step on the floor at that position, I just have 99 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: to work on the shot. But yeah, you got to 100 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: add depth there. And I if I'm Golden State and 101 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to do something totally unique, I would take 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball. Yes, bone, I guess with guys like LaMelo Ball, 103 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I look at how many red flags are that that 104 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: person can be a bust. And you know, I know 105 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: he's not his brother, but his brother is flirting with 106 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: being an NBA career average player. Can't shoot free throws, 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: can't shoot any other way, and it's a nice point guard. Yeah, 108 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: so that's a strike one. Now LaMelo Ball can't shoot 109 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: the basketball, that's strike two. And he can shoot better 110 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: than his brother. But then I can too. You can't too, Yes, 111 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: And he doesn't play defense. Well, defense is an attitude. 112 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: I can't play. You just have to want to play defense. 113 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: I don't think I would want that in the top 114 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: three pick. Maybe if it was the fifteenth pick. Well, 115 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: we don't know if James Wiseman can play offense. No, 116 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: we don't. I don't know anything about James Wiseman other 117 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: than he's six eleven. I can get a center anywhere anywhere. 118 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: I walk outside and probably get a center, But as 119 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: far as getting somebody who plays the point guard position, 120 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: and he plays it the way he plays it. He 121 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: does have experience playing overseas with grown men. I just 122 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: find him undisciplined at times, doesn't play defense. His ability 123 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: to see the floor is really really really rare, really rare. 124 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: The shot is too low, and he thinks he's Steph Curry. 125 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: It goes back to what I always say about NFL picks. 126 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: We'll go. Let me tell you all the negative things 127 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: he does, but I would still take him because of 128 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: the positive things that he does and that capability. Anthony 129 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: Edwards will go number one. I don't know about Obi Toppin, 130 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't know about James Wiseman in today's NBA, but 131 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball was raised for this moment, and if I'm 132 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Golden State, I'd have no problems taking him. Yeah, McLevin, 133 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: I've been doing some YouTube scouting and he's shooting percentage 134 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: is a thousand in these videos. I tell you, I 135 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: see Steph Curry. I see you know he wants to 136 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: be Steph Curry. But the problem is nobody shoots like 137 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. But he has that one motion. Steph Curry's 138 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: got low release too. You know it's got it, but 139 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: it goes in on that low release, but the bo 140 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: gets it, hits a lot of these shots. Well, he 141 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: does make more shots than his brother. He shot looks better. 142 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: You know, Lonzo starts the ball on the left side 143 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: and brings it over. LaMelo brings it from you know, 144 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: his hip straight up. And I always wonder about that 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: with the fenders, if you put your hand on his 146 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: hip and then you sort of force him to come 147 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: around your hand and you know, play those mind games there. 148 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: But I would take him. I think he's fascinating and 149 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: I think Golden State if if I had that coming 150 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: off the bench, I think that would be really interesting 151 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: and you know, just understanding the game, seeing it through 152 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr's eyes, Staff's eye, Clay Thompson, Draymond Greene, I 153 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: think you could have something special. Now, do I like 154 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards because I think he's the most ready player 155 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: with the less you know, less least amount of red flags. Absolutely, 156 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: But every one of these players, you're not quite sure. 157 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: They do some things well, they don't do some things well. 158 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: They're very young, and they're going into a league that 159 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to shoot, you got to 160 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: run transition, and that's why LaMelo ball interests me. I 161 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: never thought that I would say that. Now I do 162 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: like Lonzo. Yeah, I just think Lonzo might you know, 163 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: his ceiling is he's it feels like he's approaching his 164 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: ceiling because he can't shoot, but he does see the floor, 165 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: he rebounds, he plays defense. It's just I can't I 166 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: can't build around that. But LaMelo, you might have him 167 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: sort of by proxy, understand the game and become a 168 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: better player by being around these players. Yeah. I'm on 169 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: the Ringer's website and they do the deepest dives on 170 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: the players in the draft. I've been studying up because 171 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: none of us saw these guys play last year. And 172 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: the player comps are really beyond specific. Like Lonzo LaMelo Ball. 173 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: They compared to Jason Williams, remember out of Florida, the 174 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: white kid. Yeah, white chocolate. They compare him. It's a 175 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball. Yeah, that's why I was gonna say, mc 176 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: gloving goes, who's the comp for LaMelo Ball? I go, Lonzo, 177 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: that's not good. And then Sean Livingston they compare him too, 178 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: who was had injuries, A nice player. Yeah, there's they 179 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: get really specific in their comparisons. They compared James Wiseman 180 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: to a mild mannered Rashid Wallace. What does that mean 181 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: he's not gonna get technical without the crazy. Oh, okay, 182 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: it's not bad. I think that all right. Yes, mclovin. 183 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: I've seen a couple a lot of Hassan white Side 184 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: with James Wiseman, and the Hassan Whiteside is the poster 185 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: boy for people who do not fit in the twenty 186 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: twenty NBA. Yes, I can get a center, I can 187 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: get a center anywhere, but to get these players who 188 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: do something that's special, something unique. That's why if you're 189 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: Golden State and you're going who's the guy who has 190 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: the most upside? Because if I'm if I'm drafting at 191 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: number two, who knows when Golden State will get up 192 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: there to number two ever again in the next five years, 193 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: seven years. You have this unique situation because of injuries, 194 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: and if you have somebody who has that upside, I'd 195 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: go get him, and then I would take my chances. 196 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: The draft is littered with bust, in particular with these 197 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: younger players. If Lamello doesn't pan out, okay, it's not 198 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: the end of the world, because you've got a gift 199 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: to be up there at number two. Why not swing 200 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: for a home run here? Whoever you're taking now to 201 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: move down to four, who's it four that you want? 202 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: And Chicago moving up probably once LaMelo Ball I'm guessing. 203 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, do you it feels like James Wiseman you 204 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: want to move up for him? And who knows what 205 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: Billy Donovan is gonna want. I mean, Billy Donovan does 206 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: have point guards? Then he have Kobe White. I guess 207 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: is he a point guard? Yeah? Mclevan. If you're going 208 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: to judge the draft based on player cops, this is 209 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: the worst draft I've ever seen. Like basically, Anthony Edwards 210 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: is gonna go number one, and he's like a slightly 211 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: higher Robert Covington. There's no like who does don't even 212 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: know who that is? I mean, who is the great 213 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: player that? Oh, here's when Zach Levine for him? Like 214 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: there's this no, okay, but Zach Levine's an All star? Yeah, 215 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: but number one overall? Number one overall. You want your 216 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: player come to be an all time player, like a 217 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame level player, and that's well, we just 218 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: don't have that player. It's like Anthony Bennett. You know 219 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: when Anthony Bennett went number one overall. How he went 220 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: to number one overall? Never never understand. But I mean, 221 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: there are a lot of drafts where we look at 222 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: the top five picks, the teams that are great, that 223 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: aren't smart. Always find that guy fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth. 224 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: You know, that's where you do your research and it 225 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: feels like gotta go up there. Tip. I would move 226 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: down in the draft if I could, but I don't 227 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: know if Golden State can and or any of these 228 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: other teams. I don't know. Minnesota once the number one pick. Yeah, McClement, 229 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Danny Avija. I look at him. I like him. I 230 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: have the Bleacher Report comp and I'm asking Paul to 231 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: get the ragger. If you could guess this, I would 232 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: be shocked. I could guess it without even looking. It's 233 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: going to be three taller European basketball players, guarantee. Because 234 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: you only can compare a European player prospect to a 235 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: European player that's mandatory. His comparison will be dead left shrimp. 236 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I actually bleach Report went non European, but maybe 237 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: a European style player okay with a mustache who is 238 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: in the news because of contract situation right now, Gordon Hayward, 239 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't get that at all. By the way, okay, 240 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: the ringer compares them to Danilo Gallinari, Nicholas Batum and 241 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: Dario Sarich. Okay, I mean those are those are good players, 242 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: solid players, I should say solid players. Yeah, you threw 243 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: me off with a mustache with Gordon Hayward. Oh, he's 244 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: got a super thick mustache card right now. I saw 245 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: it the other day. It's crazy. By the way, Danny 246 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: Vija is Israeli, but his dad was on the Serbian 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: national team, so he's part of that legacy. This program 248 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: brought to you by Masterclass.

Kyle in California leads us off. 255 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Kyle got a couple couple questions 256 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: for you. One Warriors one Anthony Edwards. I really want 257 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: your opinion on the Warriors thing. But I'm gonna throw 258 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: out the Edwards thing. Would not be saying pre draft 259 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: quoting saying I'm still not really into basketball and would 260 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: leave basketball tomorrow to play football. I'm not sure that's 261 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: a great idea. And then the Warriors do they go Lamello? 262 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Do they go Danny Edba Is Draymond's going to be 263 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: the Draymond of old? Danny might be the guy. But 264 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: who's another playmaker besides Steph Wiggins? You know, before it 265 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: was Barnes, then it was kd Is Wiggins around? Do 266 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: they trade that in the pic? I think they like him. 267 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: I think they like Wiggins right now with that role. 268 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: But I would take LaMelo and read the entire article, 269 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: the entire profile on Anthony Edwards, the entire article, because 270 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: if you take the quote out where he says, you know, 271 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: I always loved football and I'd leave to play football, 272 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: when he's not leaving to play football, and he grew 273 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: up in a very very difficult family environment, that quote's 274 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: getting a lot of buzz and I don't think it's 275 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: fair to the kid. Read is it on the ringer mclovin, 276 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: Is that the profile on Anthony Edwards. I'm that's sure, 277 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: we're efforting. Yeah, I just saw the quotes and then 278 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: I read the article and I'm trying to think where 279 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: I read it, but it really just gives you a 280 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: background on everything that he's gone through and growing up 281 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: a pretty tough environment here. But I I think that 282 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: stands out as there have been players that we've spoken 283 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: to in different sports who talk about and wanting to 284 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: play another sport. That doesn't mean that they're going to 285 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: give up this opportunity to play in the NBA and 286 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: be the number one pick overall. Yeah. Mclovin. Yeah, it 287 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: was reading on ESPN. His mom died when he was fourteen, 288 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: and his grandmother, was a caretaker, died the same year. No, 289 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: so he really he never after that. He didn't have 290 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: a lot of stability at home. Yeah. I just when 291 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: you read the story, and maybe it's on ESPN dot com, 292 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: we'll find it. But it's a couple of big features 293 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, and they're they're all very kind of 294 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: they pull in the heartstrings a little bit. Yes, I mean, 295 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: it's a it's a great story for him to go 296 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: where he's you know, been, and to go to Georgia. Now, 297 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: be the number one overall pick. And I do think 298 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: he's ready to play. I mean he's built. He reminds 299 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: me of James Harden in size that that you know 300 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: he can get it. He can get a basket. Here, 301 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell is who comes to mind like one of 302 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: those players who can go and he can you know, 303 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: he could be that guy who gets the basket when 304 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: you need him to get a basket. He's that talented. 305 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: And it looks like he can play defense as well. Yeah, mclub, 306 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: if he'd gone to Duke or North Carolina, would this 307 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: be a different conversation because we would have gotten some exposure. Well, 308 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: we would have seen him. Nobody was watching Georgia unless 309 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: you accidentally stumbled upon Georgia and maybe they were playing 310 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: Kentucky at the time. But he's a good player. He's 311 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: a good player. We just don't know who's going to 312 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: be that great player. And I think this is where 313 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: you have to draft and go this is who I 314 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: think he's going to develop into or what he's going 315 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: to develop into. That's really the key. Minnesota. I think 316 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: they're taking Anthony Edwards to start the festivities. Yea, polh 317 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: if you go back, I always like to look at 318 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: drafts from five years ago, and just I picked one 319 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: random the twenty fifteen draft, Devin Booker was taken thirteenth 320 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: by Phoenix. This guy's a borderline superstar. Yeah, but nobody 321 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: talked about him that day. Yeah what that's because those 322 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: Kentucky guys were impossible to figure out what was going on, 323 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: because every time he churned through five first round picks, 324 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: we didn't know what Jamal Murray or Kevin Knox.

Now, 383 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: I will say Anthony Edwards this according to Bleacher Report 384 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: historical comparison Prime Vince Carter. WHOA yeah, Okay, then it 385 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: should be a foregone conclusion, like we know who we're taking. 386 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: If we're in Minnesota, you give me Prime Vince Carter. 387 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: The player comparison currently in the NBA is Zach Levine. 388 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: All right, I'll take that. If the ceiling is Vince, 389 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: and you know the floor is zach Levine, I'll take that. 390 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball the player comp Harris Leverte of Brooklyn and 391 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: Ricky Rubio historical comparison Penny Hardaway sALS injuries yes, and 392 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: Jason Williams White Choklin ob toppin player comp John Collins 393 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: of the Hawks, who I like. I don't know if 394 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: he's going to be great historical comparison to Mary Standemyer, 395 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: here's a tier Haliburton out of Iowa State. His player comp. 396 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball historical comparison is a prime. Jose Calderon. When 397 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: did he have a prime? RJ. Hampton player comp. Jordan 398 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: Clarkson of the Jazz historical comparison prime O J. Mayo, 399 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, did he have a prime? Yes, Paul. Jose 400 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: Calderan has played seventeen years an average eight points in 401 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: five assists a game. But in his prime, what are 402 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: the average eight points at ten points eight assists and 403 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: did not make an all start? Okay, all right? James 404 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: Wiseman player comp. Hassan Whiteside of the Blazers historical comparison 405 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: prime DeAndre Jordan. All right, I'll take a prime DeAndre Jordan. 406 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: Killian Hayes point guard from France. Player comp. DeAngelo Russell 407 00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: historical comparison prime Gore and Draggage. It's pretty good. Greg 408 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: Anthony's son Cole Anthony, North Carolina player comp. Jamal Murray 409 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: of the Nuggets historical comparison Ben Gordon. That sounds like 410 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: a whole lot of offense there. Yes, I lean towards 411 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: taking a player, a good player's son in the draft 412 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: as a safer pick. Is that a mental thing or 413 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: is that real? Because he grew up around a dad 414 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: who was a high end professional athlete. Greg Anthony was 415 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: a good point guard. And if I could get that, 416 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: I'll take it. That's a sure thing. It's a nice 417 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: sure thing, not a you know, ten time All Star ship. Yes, 418 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: and you're extra motivated to you know, not being your 419 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: you know dad's footsteps and show that you know, you 420 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: weren't handed anything, but you're a really good player. And 421 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's not just you have the same 422 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: last name as a as a great father that played. 423 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: Would you be nervous taking LaMelo ball? Just just being 424 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: not talent? Why? Oh everybody's nervous taking LaMelo ball? Okay 425 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm good but with his dad because his 426 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: dad loves to take a victory lap there. He not 427 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: really involved in Lonzo's career as much anymore. It feels like, 428 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been kind of quiet, which is great. 429 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: Although he did have a quote saying that his sons 430 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: will never meet a good woman. While they're still while 431 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: they're playing in basketball. That he said that they're all 432 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna do. All they're gonna meet is hose. He 433 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: said that. Yeah, yesterday that quote came out that that's 434 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: because they look you up on the internet. They see 435 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: how much you make, they do other research. They know 436 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: who you are, they know everything about you. How would 437 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: he know he didn't play How the hell would he 438 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: have his quote? I don't know it's his quote. He 439 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: didn't play any high end basketball. I know, but he 440 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: could beat Jordan one on one. Yes, mclovin, but google that. 441 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Google LeVar ball with a quote about his sons meeting 442 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: a woman to marry. But I think you could argue 443 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: he's not just a good sports that he might be 444 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: the greatest sports at of all time because he's gonna 445 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: have a number two pick. Two Number two picks are 446 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: guys who can't even shoot. He's doing something incredibly right, man. 447 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: And also, Alonzo's a great dude. I'm going to guess 448 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: the kids did this. I had a guess that the 449 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: kids deserve a whole lot of kind You know who 450 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: deserves credit too. I'm gonna guess mom deserves a little 451 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: credit too. Yeah, and all the health things that she's 452 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: gone through. But by all accounts, it seems like Alonso 453 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: is a good dude. Yeah. I don't hear anything about them. 454 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: I was reading I tweeted something out about that, asked 455 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, well, what about the years of terrible treatment 456 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: they got from their dad? I like, I don't sense that. 457 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: In their personalities, they seem like pretty pretty tight family. 458 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I just know that he was 459 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 1: present with his kids, and and there's something to be 460 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: said of being there for your kids. You know, as 461 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: much as we look at Venus and Serena as finished products, 462 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: Richard Williams was there with them and knew exactly what 463 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: he had. Tiger Wood's dad knew exactly what he had 464 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: and developed that. You know, the Bosa brothers, their dad 465 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: a former number one, They knew he knew what they 466 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: had there Archie manning to be there with them, be 467 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: in the moment, be coaching them, be around them. You know, 468 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: there's something to be said for that. And not all 469 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: dads are willing to be that invested. Yes, seton so. 470 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: But the difference between the Ball family and every other 471 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: family that you just mentioned is their dads didn't turn 472 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: their kid's career into a joke. You know, like the 473 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: Ball family, they're they're just their presence comes with an 474 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: eye roll from a lot of people. Maybe not basketball people, 475 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: but pretty much everybody else is like, oh god, yeah, 476 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, and that you know, their dad is 477 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: the one who did that. Ye by being just such 478 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: a buffoon and acting like such an idiot. He's the 479 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: one that has sort of ruined their reputation as basketball players. Yeah. 480 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: And I said that at the time, and we were offered, 481 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, LaVar Ball, we were offered, and I said, 482 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm not interested. I don't want to talk to him. 483 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: I want to talk to Lonzo or you know, Lamello. 484 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to dad because Dad's going 485 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: to take all the credit. And these are the kids, 486 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: are the ones who developed into something here, and you know, 487 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: the Big Bawler brand and the reality show and all 488 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: of those things that were really for the dad. I 489 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: think the kids did well and the fact that you know, 490 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: LaMelo went Overseas to learn the game. Lonzo didn't work 491 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: out with the Lakers, maybe he doesn't work out with 492 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: the Pelicans, but still he was you know, top five 493 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: pick LaMelo is going to be a top five pick. 494 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: The best shooter in the family is not playing lo Angelo. 495 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: This program brought to you by Peacock.

You're never 510 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: going to meet a nice woman, especially in basketball. You're 511 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: not going to find nobody like I found your mom, 512 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: LaVar explained. This is the Endless Hustle podcast. If you're 513 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: in this profession, you get all the fame and notoriety. 514 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: How are you going to meet a good girl? You're not, 515 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: LaVar says. The only places NBA players meet women during 516 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: their busy careers restaurants, clubs, or in the arenas. So, 517 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: I hate to tell you, but you're going to meet 518 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: a just how it goes? Son? So, Son, that's the 519 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: bad part of life you're gonna get. You're never going 520 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: to meet a good woman. What else he say? He 521 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: also warned that by the time his kids understand what 522 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: he's talking about, it'll be almost too late, because if 523 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: they meet a woman who's thirty and single, you gotta 524 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: wonder why she's by herself at thirty. Wow, there's something 525 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: that's dangerous no matter how good they look. But have 526 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: a good time, son. I feel bad for you, but hey, 527 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: I love the fact you made it. What else does 528 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: he say? Says his boys will never meet a woman 529 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: at a typical job or at a church because the 530 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: demands of the NBA are too time consuming. How are 531 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: you going to meet somebody and be solid? It's not 532 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Sorry, you will have to retire. Wow, dad man? Well, 533 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: Lonzo was dating his girlfriend from high school for years. 534 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: They had a child together. I'm gonna guess that. You know, 535 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: he gave it a shot. There was somebody that he 536 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: knew before he became truly famous. You know, sEH, what's 537 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: he worried about his kids settling down in their for 538 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: or whatever? Like, YO, find a nice girl settled down? 539 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: Worry about it? Do play basketball well? Because dad didn't 540 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: have a career and that's why he settled down after 541 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: that stellar college career where he averaged three points. I 542 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: think he averaged three points more than I did in college. 543 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: But now he's got advice and I can't discount in 544 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: all some of his advice and then see what he 545 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: did with his other advice with his kids. But he's 546 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: got two that are going in the top five of 547 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: the draft. Something to be said for that. What's pull 548 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: question today? Mcclevin. Okay, we could go with the number 549 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: one pick. I was asked, who do you think we'll 550 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: go number one? But I don't know if anyone has 551 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: a strong opinion on that. Who should go number one? 552 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: Is that a better question or I don't even know 553 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: if our audience is I don't think anybody Now I 554 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: think it's this is really niche draft coming up tonight. 555 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: Even even you know the basketball fanatics, it's hard to 556 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be all in on this raft tonight. 557 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: There's a couple of players I'm curious about. There's a 558 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: couple of teams I'm curious about. Are they going to 559 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: be trades here? Mannix will join us coming up next hour. 560 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: But if you're trying to find a franchise player, you 561 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: might find one, and Anthony Edwards you might, But it 562 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: feels like the guy who might be slipping through the cracks. 563 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: You find somebody at the sixteenth pick overall, that might 564 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: be the guy that we look back on and go, wow, 565 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: they found themselves a bam out of bio there. Yeah, pol, 566 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: how about a pole? If you with the GM of 567 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: the Warriors, would you draft a player that could play now, 568 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: draft a player who's a project but has much more upside, 569 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: or trade your draft pick for a player that can 570 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: help you this season? Philosophically, where would you land? Yeah, 571 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: but this has to do with LaMelo Ball, and I 572 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: think LaMelo can help you now. I think he can 573 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: help you in the future. And they you know, eventually, 574 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: when you draft a young player, that's your future. So 575 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: like it or not Golden State. You know, if Steph 576 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: Curry or Klay Thompson's going to go, well, there's our future. Yes, 577 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: that's what happens. When you draft somebody young, that's the 578 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: next wave that'll come in for you. And maybe that's 579 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball. Maybe you just ask something as simple, would 580 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: you draft LaMelo Ball? And it doesn't have to be 581 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 1: the Warriors, it could be anybody. I'm just saying it 582 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: fits with the Warriors because I have an infrastructure there 583 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: that I feel really secure about. I got great front office, 584 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: great coach, I've got Hall of famers on the floor. 585 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: And by having him come in, he must listen to you, 586 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: he must do it your way. If he goes to 587 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: a franchise, you know, if he went to like Cleveland, 588 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: then I wouldn't have as much confidence in LaMelo Ball 589 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: being successful. But if you go to Golden State and 590 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: you learn, and you're learning from professionals, and you got 591 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: guys who shoot as well as anybody in the history 592 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: of the game, I think that that can only help him. 593 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: That he understands the game and he's far more discipline 594 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: when he gets to the NBA. Because you go back 595 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: to his freshman year in high school and he would 596 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: just dribble around and jack it up and there was 597 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: no discipline whatsoever. And that continued. I watched him in 598 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: one of the state playoff games and I went dribbling 599 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: down the clock and he made no attempt to get 600 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: to the hoop or a shorter jump shot. It was 601 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: like an off balanced thirty footer and I went, what 602 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: are you doing? He won't be doing that with Golden 603 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: State if he goes there. Yeah, MC club Golden State 604 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: loved one of his player comps with Shawan Livingston, right, 605 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: he who just left retired with the front office of 606 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, and we never got to see the 607 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: greatness of Sean who in college. You know, he had 608 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: knee surgery and he was a good player. He's very 609 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: good at that Warriors system though. Yeah, he was a 610 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: good role player, but we didn't get to see greatness 611 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: due to the knee surgeries. Yes, Seaton. See, like that's 612 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: part of the problem too, though, is that, like because 613 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: of all of the attention on the ball fan, right, 614 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: we're watching LaMelo ball at you know, thirteen or fourteen 615 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: years old, jacking up shots from all over the place, 616 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: looking like a fourteen year old kid that's kind of 617 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: what they do, that's kind of how they play. But 618 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: instead there's you know, YouTube reels of just how terrible 619 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: this kid was when he was fourteen, or look how 620 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: great he was when he was fifteen. You know, well, 621 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: I think what happened is fourteen year olds on the 622 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,280 Speaker 1: varsity don't shoot like that. They don't take thirty footers. 623 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: If you're a senior, you're not doing it because you're 624 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: smart enough to know. I'm not taking thirty foot he's fourteen, 625 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: acting fourteen when he's on the varsity. Like if I 626 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: did that, guy would never play again, not even like dude, 627 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: and I can shoot. This guy can't shoot, and he's 628 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: out there jacking it up. They all want to be 629 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. Now he gets a chance to be with 630 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. Right. It feels like Michael Jordan would want 631 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: LaMelo ball to la No Mike No Mike is no 632 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: Mike is there. You go, that's the worst thing you 633 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: can say when it comes. I was on the before 634 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: about this theory, but now I know it's terrible. You 635 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: just self, I think, oh, you know, you're right. Well, 636 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: he's also interested reporting name Russell Wesrook. Yeah, oh Man. Yeah, yeah, 637 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: you know Mike as an owner in GM. He was 638 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: a great player. He was a great player. All right, 639 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: we'll take a break here, your phone calls coming up. 640 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: We'll settle on a poll question. Do you want to 641 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: you want to go with LaMelo ball? Would you drafted? Yeah? 642 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: We could start with all right, let me see. I'm curious. 643 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: I got some piping hot slash takes for whatever you 644 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: need him. I think that you're to raise an eyebrow 645 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: or two. Okay, is this a against the grain? It's 646 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: got it against the grain? Energy about where is against 647 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: the grain? Bin? We'll take a break.

You see the radio icon inner code Patrick, 673 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: You're good to go. Celebrating a little bit differently this 674 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: holiday's season. I saw this. The Patriots cornerback J. C. 675 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: Jackson leads the NFL with six interceptions. He started four games. 676 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: He was left off the Pro Bowl voting list. You 677 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: know who left him off the Pro Bowl voting list. 678 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: The Patriots left him off the Pro Bowl voting list. 679 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: It's up to the teams. Jackson scheduled to be a 680 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: restricted free agent in the off season. I don't sense 681 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: anything nefarious here, not at all. Probably not going to 682 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: help as sign him, but it that way. I also 683 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: saw this report or a rumor somewhere in between that 684 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: the Wizards and the Rockets have discussed exchanging John Wall 685 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: for Russell Westbrook, and I thought, Okay, let me figure 686 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: this out here. If I'm Washington and I can get 687 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, I do it right now. If I'm the Rockets, 688 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: I go, why do I want John Wall. He's not 689 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: as interesting as Russell Westbrook. He's coming off a serious injury. 690 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: I get no cap relief whatsoever. He's not a great shooter. 691 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: So why am I bringing in John Wall? Why don't 692 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: I just keep Russell Westbrook? Unless you say Russ wants out, 693 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to bring in John Wall because Russell 694 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: Westbrook wants out. And by the way, James Harden's under 695 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: contract the next two years. And I said this yesterday, 696 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: and I firmly believe it. Rockets have leverage here. You know, 697 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: maybe this gets interesting maybe it's a little messy there, 698 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: but I'm going to say to James Harden, you want 699 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: to go to Brooklyn and you only want to go 700 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. That ties our hands. We need to get 701 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: another offer here. We need to get something in return 702 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: because we invested in you, We made the trade, we 703 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: got rid of Chris Paul you wanted that, We brought 704 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: in Russell Westbrook. We gave up all of our future 705 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: draft picks here, and now you want out. Now. If 706 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: it's true that part of this has to do with 707 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: the politics of the owner of the Rockets, is Rick 708 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: Buker reported yesterday, did it just dawn on Russell Westbrook, 709 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: the owner of the Rockets politics, because I've known of 710 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: his politics for a long time. That's the reason why 711 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: you want out. You better be checking the politics of 712 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: the owner of the Brooklyn Nets then, or anybody else 713 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: you might be going to as well. If that's the case. 714 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: But I saw that with John Wall and Russell Westbrook. 715 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,439 Speaker 1: I can't even saying, what why would you take John 716 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: Wall if you're the Rockets And I have nothing against 717 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: John Wall because people say you said you wouldn't go 718 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: outside to watch John Wolf. He was in your backyard. 719 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: I would go out and say, hello, John, you can shoot, 720 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: go ahead. I mean, it's a five time All Star. 721 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: I just you know there's I would not I'll tune 722 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: in to watch Bradley Beale, but I've seen John Wall's 723 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: best work. I'm just not interested in that. And a 724 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: guy who's going to cost you forty two million dollars 725 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: and then forty seven million dollars, yikes. Mannox will join 726 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: us coming up next hour. Chris and Georgia joins us 727 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: right now, Chris, what's on your mind? Hey man? He so? 728 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: I want I wanted to ask you, Dan, what didn't 729 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: you say? You know that the majority of the picks 730 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 1: in the last ten fifteen years that we thought were 731 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: going to be superstars in the draft usually ended up 732 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 1: coming off the bench, and the people that get picked 733 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 1: after maybe the tenth to pick and later in the 734 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: draft end up going on to be really great players. Yeah. 735 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: And I don't understand, well, I don't understand this thing 736 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: about how LaMelo would go to this team and it 737 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: would be the more secure pick for them, because every 738 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: team in the NBA has professionals, and if he goes 739 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Cavaliers, they're filled with professionals. Kevin Love 740 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 1: has won the NBA title, he's been in the league. 741 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: He should be able to teach this guy how to 742 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,720 Speaker 1: play in the NBA. Every single team in the NBA 743 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: should be able to teach this kid how to play. 744 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: But they don't. They don't have the infrastructure there. I mean, 745 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland was a mess when John Beelin was there. Everybody 746 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: wanted out. You have one of the most stable organizations 747 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: in all the sports with Golden State, with players, coaches, 748 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,919 Speaker 1: front office. You have a stability there that would help 749 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: LaMelo ball. It would help anybody who goes there. But 750 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying a guy who is undisciplined in high 751 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: school and playing overseas and you go there and now 752 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: you have to learn the Golden State way. It's like 753 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: when you go to the Patriots. You're asked to it 754 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 1: here to a certain set of rules. So that's it. Yeah, mclub. 755 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 1: I completely forgot John Beeline with the cast coach howbody 756 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: games did even stay there for It felt like he 757 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: was there for a semester. Yeah, that's about it. But 758 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying LaMelo in that situation of all the 759 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: draft picks, if he would go given how specific they 760 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: are with their shooting. There, the passing, the movement with 761 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: the ball, those are all things that LaMelo Ball can 762 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: help out with. We have draft news. According to Pauling, 763 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: this is big Dan. The New York Knicks have gotten 764 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: moved up to the twenty third pick in the draft 765 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. They give up the twenty seventh pick 766 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,919 Speaker 1: and thirty eighth to move up four spots to twenty three. 767 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: That could change the entire draft. Game changer. Chris Mannocks 768 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,479 Speaker 1: will join us coming up. Get his thoughts James Harden 769 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: going to be traded before the start of the season 770 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: and Russell Westbrook going to be traded. I don't think so.
