Speaker 4: our NBA podcast Buckets as well as the Favorites podcast

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: with Chad and Simon.

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Check those out as well.

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: All right, gentlemen, Last week when we opened the show,

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: we talked about why we love the betting on the

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 4: NBA Draft, and late Tuesday night kind of illustrated that

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: to the fullest because we have seen odds flip now

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 4: for the number two and number three pick twice since

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: we have done the first podcast, which was last Monday,

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: so give our listeners a quick recap. So, after we

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: did the show last week, multiple reports come out that

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: Charlotte was taking Scoot Henderson at number two. Other teams,

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: maybe like the Pelicans, were interested in trading up for

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: Scoot as well. As a result, the market flipped. Scoot

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: was minus two to twenty five to go number two

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: until late Tuesday night, when both WOJ and John Gavoni

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: both go on Sports Center and say that Charlotte was

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: impressed with Brandon Miller, brought him in for a second workout,

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: and that he is going to be the number two pick.

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: The market flips immediately. Brandon Miller has been being steamed

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: all day at Vandual to go number two, seeing it

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: as high as minus fifty, which is an eighty six

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: percent imply probability Scoot dropping down to plus three seventy

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 4: to go second at Banduel. So, gentlemen, I'll ask you

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: both this, how do we bet these markets now? Because

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: is there a chance for another flip between number two

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 4: and number three for Brandon Miller and Scoot Luke.

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 5: I'll let you go first, So I mean it's it's crazy.

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 5: I feel like we're stuck in a loop. I mean

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 5: from the NBA draft last year to the NFL Draft

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: with Stroud a couple months ago, and now this where

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: we have guys just flip flopping odds again. And I

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 5: will say, and on the last pod I was getting

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: I did mention about getting like Scoot vibes, and of

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 5: course Scoot became the favorite over the last five days.

51
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 5: And now Miller, really based off of Waj's bit on

52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 5: ESPN yesterday, is the heavy favorite, which he.

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: Got it totally wrong last year.

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 5: And it is funny because I want to say, really,

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 5: based off of him getting Jabbari Powell wrong last year,

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: I do think we're getting like less steam than we

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: would have if he didn't where like Miller might have.

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: Like this time last year, Miller would be like minus

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 5: a thousand or higher, just purely based off of Wash

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: and now he's sitting at minus three hundred, minus four hundred,

61
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 5: et cetera.

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: And he still was. He's still the most connected.

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 5: Person we have, and if anything, he's due for a

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 5: bounce back after getting last year totally wrong. And you

65
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: want to you want to hope that he has a

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: little bit more motivation to get this one right. And

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 5: I do think in the context that he put last night,

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: which he is historic, he like, he's notorious for kind

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 5: of beating around the bush and not being direct about

70
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: what the pick is going to be, or like he'll

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 5: be like Team X is honing in on player, like

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: why last night he was like very very like direct.

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: He's like basically saying that Miller is becoming the favorite.

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: And I did buy it more than I would and

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: I do think he should be the favorite.

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. I would never lay these odds right now.

77
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 5: If you don't believe it and you think Scoot is

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: gonna go number two, you're probably within that window because

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: these things are gonna the odds are gonna move again.

80
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: It could flip flop, you could totally arbit.

81
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: But I really don't think the two to three pick

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 5: is very better at this point.

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: So Brian, by that logic we talked about this off there,

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: should we be buying the dip for the number two

85
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: pick now for Scoot.

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you're not gonna do it now,

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: then just don't do it because it's plus three seventy.

88
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: If you think Scoot is going to be the number one,

89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: number two overall pick, and you're like, to hell with

90
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Wolves's reporting, then now would be the time to buy that.

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Look wose is, like Lucas said, he's probably the most

92
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: plugged in guy when it comes to the NBA. Doesn't

93
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: mean you're betting a thousand. Nobody does. And we saw

94
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: us with the draft last year, so you know it's

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: warranted to the at this with a healthy bit of skepticism.

96
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: And I think the number for Brandon Miller and minus

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: six fifty is like, it's kind of crazy considering where

98
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: we just were with Scoot Henderson being the favorite yesterday

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: at I believe minus two twenty at one point, and

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: probably you know different depending on the books you're looking at,

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: but it looked almost solidified, like all right, this is

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: where we are. But this is a draft and this

103
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: is what can happen, and this is the craziness that

104
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: comes with it. In the days leading up to it,

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: things can change. And with Charlotte though, I mean, if

106
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: you're looking at it from a basketball standpoint, right, the

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: case for this is kind of if you look on

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: the court, Brandon Miller would just come in and fill

109
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: out what Mile Miles bridges was for them in terms

110
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: of a forward who is athletic, who can do some

111
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: things with the ball, who can be a complimentary piece

112
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: to LaMelo Ball. And if you look at it from

113
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: that perspective, it's like, okay, even from a basketball perspective,

114
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: this makes more sense than Scoot Henderson and LaMelo Ball

115
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: being in the same backcourt. So you can talk yourself

116
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: into it that way too. And with Scoot Henderson, Yeah,

117
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: if Portland is going to move off Damian Lillard, which

118
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: we don't know what was also reporting as of today

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: that the Portland Trailblazers are not taking calls on Damian

120
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Lillard right now, which we all know they're probably like,

121
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: maybe there's some truth to that. But as soon as

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: the draft happens, we're gonna know what Portland's actually going

123
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: to do next, because they're going to either use or

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: keep the number three overall pick, and then we'll sort

125
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: of figure out Damian Lillard thing as it goes. That

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: affects what we're going to see in the draft ultimately,

127
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: because Scoot Henderson might go to Portland. But I think

128
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: right now, ultimately, if you think Scoot Henderson is going

129
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: to be the number two overall pick, then now would

130
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: be the time to buy it. For me, the number

131
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: two overall pick is kind of just a stay away

132
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: because I don't have a handle on who's actually going

133
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: to be number two at this point because it's gone

134
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: back and forth so many times. I think basketball wise,

135
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: one thing makes sense. I think player wise, another thing

136
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: makes sense because to me, basketball wise, Brandon Miller is

137
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: a better fit than Charlotte Scoot Henderson in a post

138
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard society Portland potentially, But if you're asking me,

139
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: who's the better player is Scoot Henderson? But in terms

140
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: of betting on the draft, neither of those things matter.

141
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think the key thing too that we

142
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: both all of us really can't fathom at this stage,

143
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: or at least materialize, is the potential for trades as

144
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: we get closer to the draft, that a team might

145
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: you know, pay the price and be willing to trade

146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: up to Charlotte to give them what they want to

147
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: get scooped like a Pelicans could, or even at the

148
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 4: number three pick, where the Blazers might just say, you

149
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: know what, the scoop pick isn't gonna work. We're gonna

150
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: keep Dame. We got to phish them out too, but

151
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: at the same time they're all going second or third. Luca,

152
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you this because you compile in

153
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: census basically mock drafts where you're able to kind of determine,

154
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: you know, a draft slot for each respective player, and

155
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: this week specifically, everybody's coming out of the woodwork with

156
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: a mock draft, and people who aren't insiders, you'll see them,

157
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: you know, random publication.

158
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: Some influence the markets, some don't. I wanted to know from.

159
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: Your perspective, especially as somebody who sees all these come

160
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: through and then seeing these new ones come through late

161
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: in the week, how do we parse through that? How

162
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: do we find the credible info? Do we just stick

163
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: with the core five? Is there anybody maybe that is

164
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: cracking that top five where they're able to maybe move

165
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 4: some markets and influence some bedding.

166
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

167
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 5: So, as I like I usually like NFL draft, I

168
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: start the sheet a lot earlier than the NBA because

169
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 5: there's just less info at the NBA, And as we

170
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: get closer to the draft date, I really start to

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 5: narrow the mocks down, where if you looked at the

172
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 5: sheet a week or two ago, I was probably tracking

173
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 5: like thirty plus mocks, and as of today, I'm tracking

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 5: about like twenty, so I'm kind of trimming the fat

175
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 5: and really just focusing on the people that like we

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: think are connected or are good at mocks, and those

177
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: four like the Wasserman, Caravoni, the scene and O'Connor, like

178
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: definitely the Core four, and you can totally tell. And

179
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 5: when I'm entering in like an updated mock, like I'm

180
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 5: just up. I'm not like deleting it then adding it.

181
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 5: I'm kind of like and I'll see where the last

182
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: mock was and where the updated position is for that player,

183
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: And like the biggest tell tale is like if they

184
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 5: had a player at like in the thirties or the

185
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 5: late twenties and then move them into the teams, Like

186
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 5: that's like a big move depending on who it is.

187
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: And you kind of just have to pay attention to those.

188
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 5: And then also like really like the ones that I've cut,

189
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 5: like I don't even look at anymore because in the main,

190
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: guys like those Core four updating it multiple times within

191
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: the next twenty four hours, which is key in like

192
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 5: really reading the context within each pick is probably the

193
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 5: most important part is at this point because they'll say,

194
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: like the other options for this pick, and if the

195
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 5: player stock is falling or rising, et cetera, which is

196
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: like the intel stuff within the mocks, there's even more

197
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 5: important probably than where they actually are putting in the pick. Well.

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: One of the things too, Brian, we talked about this

199
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: off airboat, some of these drafts that come out this week,

200
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: and how they'll take some wild swings on guys that

201
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: are probably consensus in between five or seven, but then

202
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: they'll slot them in at like thirteen or something like that.

203
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: You're just like, how did you get to this logical ending?

204
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 4: And as someone who is probably reading some of these

205
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: mocks and having the same questions I am, how do

206
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: we make sure that we're not being married to that

207
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: info and sticking to our guns.

208
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to be alert first and foremost.

209
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: It's not easy because, as you said, there's so many

210
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: people doing it at this point, right and I will

211
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: remind people it's lying season, it's smoke screen season, like

212
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: this is what's going on in terms of NBA draft world,

213
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: reporting world, and reporting world with air quotes. So one

214
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: of the answers could be yeah, just pray, the other

215
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: one be alert and know what you're looking at and

216
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: see how really things align with these mock drafts, because

217
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, if there's a trend where everybody has somebody

218
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: going somewhere everybody which has happened before, right, then that's

219
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: something worth paying attention to. If somebody else is all

220
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: over the place, maybe that's a player you want to

221
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: stay from betting on. And if you're looking at you know,

222
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: the core for as Luke said, you know, if you're

223
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: looking at Draft Express, obviously they're very reputable, Like there's

224
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: somebody you're going to look at. The Ringer Tankathon also

225
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: has a mock you know, bleacher Report, like we'll compile

226
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: all of them and sort of see, but I think

227
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: I think aggregating them is important in terms of seeing

228
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: like who's going where and what range, and also understanding

229
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: that how front offices work because teams like the Heat,

230
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: the Raptors, the Spurs, though this year may be less

231
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: relevant because we know who the Spurs are getting, but

232
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: teams have a certain archetype they want to go for,

233
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: They have certain roster needs that they need to account

234
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: for if guys are going to be on the move,

235
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Like if you know, if you know the Bulls are

236
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: going to potentially blow it up. They're probably going to

237
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: go best player available if you know that there's a

238
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: position to fit some where else. Like, those kind of

239
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: things are other things to look out for as well.

240
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: For sure, And those three teams that you mentioned are

241
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: notorious for being tight lipped as far as what their

242
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: intentions are. So if unless it's a credible reporter that's

243
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: in that market that is reporting that, sometimes I usually

244
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: just kind of disregard. Like if you're a national reporter

245
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 4: talking about what the Spurs and Greg Papavich are going

246
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: to do outside of you know, this year, I'm usually

247
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: not going to take too much. I'll take it with

248
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: a grain of salt, I guess, is what I would say,

249
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: just because again, they're usually pretty close to the best

250
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: on sharing what they intend to do. Now as far

251
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: as intentions go, the over under markets can really show

252
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: some intentions of teams as far as the way that

253
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: those players are moving and rising up the draft boards.

254
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 4: And look, now, Luke, we just joked about this. Some

255
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 4: markets are opening up for over under markets for certain

256
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: players just as we even as we get closer to

257
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: the draft. But a lot of those original ones, the

258
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: ones that we talked about last week, and even coming

259
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: into today, a lot of them are seemingly been steamed out.

260
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 4: Is kind of what I all outrageous odds on one side,

261
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: maybe minus two hundred or more, whether it be to

262
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: go under their draft slot or over. But this year,

263
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: I asked you this last week who was this year's

264
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: Jalen Williams, the guy who went thirteenth overall to the

265
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City Thunder, and that seems to be Kobe Buffkin

266
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: from the Michigan Wolverines. When you were tracking this bet

267
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 4: in the Action Network app, you had it around fourteen.

268
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: And a half is what you tracked it at.

269
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: And that line has since moved at sportsbooks to twelve

270
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: and a half, with the under already at like minus

271
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: one sixty at FanDuel. Is there a chance that this stage,

272
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: with the way that he's rising up boards, that maybe

273
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 4: we could see him get into a top ten position,

274
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: or maybe a team who trades up to the top

275
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: ten for Buffkin seeing him around plus two hundred right

276
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: now for a top ten pick.

277
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 5: So I actually tried to under sixteen and a half,

278
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 5: which gives you an idea of like just.

279
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: How much it's a crazy movement where.

280
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: It was Williams last year, Chris Fronte the year before,

281
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 5: and both those unders hit, and it's even at eleven

282
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: and a half at this point, which I think the

283
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 5: tipping point for like my interest in terms of the

284
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 5: over under would be thirteen and a half. There are

285
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: rumors that like the raptors are like the promise for him,

286
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: and just with trades, et cetera. Twelve and a half

287
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: eleven and a half, it's just getting really really tight

288
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 5: At that point you might as well just be betting

289
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: like a top ten pick or like exact odds. But yeah,

290
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you couldn't convince me to bet and over

291
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 5: on this guy at any point right now, Like even

292
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: at eleven and a half, twelve and a half, it's

293
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 5: still an under and his stock is just scorching and

294
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 5: other guys are falling because of it. Where he's under

295
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 5: getting steamed and his momentum being so on fire is

296
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 5: pushing guys like Grady Dick, Cason Wallace, those types of

297
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: guys further back where Cason Wallace is over under was

298
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 5: at twelve and a half and now it's at thirteen

299
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 5: and a half. In the over is getting crushed, and

300
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 5: I still think Casin, depending on the juice, is probably

301
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: one of the better overs you can bet given the market,

302
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: even though I'm on his under of course. But yeah,

303
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 5: he's yeah, I don't think there's any four like I

304
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 5: would will not be shocked like I'm almost He's one

305
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: of the best top ten bets you can make. I

306
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: won't be shocked if he goes eight or nine, him

307
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: or Balall it's going to get in the top ten.

308
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: I think, Brian, are you buying the Buffkin hype or

309
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 4: are you saying no thanks based on what you saw

310
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: Michigan playing this year.

311
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'll take the Ali up because Blacool of Bally

312
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: is probably the one that I'm looking at in the

313
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: top ten right now. I do think Kobe, yeah, yeah,

314
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: I do think Kobe Buffkin can get there. But Blakul

315
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: of BALI like he's he's kind of gotten the win

316
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: by Yama Bump because he played with him in France.

317
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: But he's also he has a lot of those tools

318
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: we talked about this last week. He has with a

319
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: lot of NBA teams, Like in terms of being a

320
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: big issuing who has a lot of tools, you can

321
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: refine that if he really develops the way he he

322
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: could be one of the best players of this draft.

323
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: And I think more teams are seeing that now. He

324
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: was mocked sort of all over the place over the

325
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: last few weeks. You saw him at twenty five, you

326
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: saw him in that fifteen to eighteen nineteen range, and

327
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: now you're seeing some mock drafts where he's climbed not

328
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: only into the lottery but to the top ten. Right now,

329
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: I think he has enough steam to where he can

330
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: land into that back part that ninth tenth pick maybe

331
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: and right now for him to be a top ten pick.

332
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Blawpool of Bali, that's plus two ten. I think that's

333
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: that's something. I mean, obviously you weren't going to get

334
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: that number before. It was going to be a lot

335
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: more profitable because the rise didn't sort of come. But

336
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: we're here now, and I think Blawcool of Bali is

337
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: somebody to look at in terms of being this year's

338
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams perhaps, And he's kind of that the overseas

339
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: mystery man that people are still learning about that he

340
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: wasn't playing that well early on in the year with

341
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: Metropolitans and then sort of picked it up and you're

342
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: seeing the flashes and there are some some road maps

343
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: to him becoming a really good NBA player, and he's

344
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: still a teenager. Like he's one of these guys in

345
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: this draft who's really young, eighteen nineteen years old.

346
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the top guy in the draft.

347
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 5: For the top ten, Like there's outs for even both

348
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: of them to get in where like you have the

349
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: Jazz at eight, No, you have the Wizards at eight,

350
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 5: Jazz at nine, and then the MAVs at ten, which

351
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 5: it seems like a trade is already in place, like

352
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 5: every rumor you're hearing is which Lively is the consensus favorite,

353
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 5: who is plus two hundred as well to go ten.

354
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 5: But it feels like the ten is as good, it's

355
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 5: almost as good as like done in terms of that

356
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 5: a team trading out, which very well could be like

357
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 5: a team like the Raptors, etc.

358
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: To trade in to.

359
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 5: The ten spot, which that's let's just say two and

360
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: a half outs for those two guys, assuming and Black

361
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: and well Black would have to go probably six for

362
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 5: him to go for those two to be open, but

363
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 5: still all three of them eight, nine, ten for sure.

364
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And what you mentioned earlier I thought was a

365
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 4: key point that if Kobe Buffkins stock is rising to

366
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: go perhaps in the top ten, that means guys like

367
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: Blao or even a Grady Dick couldn't necessarily drop out

368
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 4: of the top ten. Brian, I wanted to ask you

369
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: if a better is looking at Blao and Buffkin. Between

370
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: those two, they're both around plus two hundred plus two

371
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: ten to go in the top ten, would you prefer

372
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: Balao over Kobe Bufkin at this At this point.

373
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: I think he has more intrigue for me personally and

374
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: for other people and teams and things of that nature.

375
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would probably lean that way.

376
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: And then Grady Dick as well, who could potentially drop

377
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: out of the top ten. I mean, he was the

378
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: Gatoray Player of the Year last year, played really well.

379
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 4: With Kansas top ten picks sitting there around plus three hundred,

380
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: the ninth and ten pick we just mentioned, both the

381
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 4: Jazz and the Mavericks could use a shooter and a

382
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: player like him. Do you think there's some value to

383
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: still be looking at Grady Dick at top ten or

384
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: should we maybe steer clear off of that.

385
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: I think last week was a good time to jump

386
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: on it. The odds are still relatively the same, like

387
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: in terms of value. But now there are questions about, Okay,

388
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: there is a world, because this is a draft, you

389
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: have to account for just unpredictability. There's a world where

390
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: both guys were talking about, Kobe Buffin and Blacula Valley

391
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: are in the top ten, and then it's like Grady

392
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: Dick seems to be one of the two who would

393
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: slide down, you know, and he would then be in

394
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: that twelve, fourteen, thirteen range or something along those lines.

395
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: I still think it makes a lot of sense for

396
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: Grady Dick to go nine or ten, but that doesn't

397
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: really matter in terms of how this could play out,

398
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: because again, Blakoulavali has more intrigue. Kobe Buffkin is sort

399
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: of one of these late risers that we're accounting for now.

400
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: Grady Dick does profile as a type of guy who

401
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: would go in the lottery. Doesn't mean he has to

402
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: go in the top ten though, because he's a big

403
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: wing he could shoot one of the best shooters in

404
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: the draft. Grady did go into Utah, the jokes tell themselves,

405
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: and potentially going to Dallas as well. But it's right

406
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: there for somebody to take it. Is there a world

407
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: where all three of them get in the top ten,

408
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: that's a little bit harder to see because then you

409
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: have to parse through. Okay, early on, it's in whatever

410
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: order when Banyama, Brandon Miller, Scoo Anderson, Jarris Walker will

411
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: be somewhere there, Anthony Black will be somewhere there. Obviously

412
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: Thompson Twins at least I'm in right at least him,

413
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: And then you're going on down the line and it's like,

414
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: all right, how many spots left are we accounting for?

415
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Then you're just running out of things.

416
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: At that point, I was even just going to say, like,

417
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: you know, Jeris Walker, Anthony Black, both of Thompson Twins,

418
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 4: Cam Whitmore, who has seen his stock drop obviously with

419
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 4: some bad workout reports. But I mean he was touted

420
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: as high as the fifth pick in certain spots. So

421
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna get bumped out of this top ten. So

422
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: just to recap, you're going to be taking blau Kulabali

423
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: in the top ten at this point.

424
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: Sorry, look go ahead, and just to piggyback off that,

425
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 5: I Grady Dick, where I want to say, like the

426
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 5: two over unders that are probably like the most sure

427
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 5: things at this point that are juiced out and depending

428
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 5: on how much juice you can stomach, because draft juice

429
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 5: isn't relative to the game like we discussed last week,

430
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 5: but a specific book lets you parlay draft runners and

431
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: it's crossboard parlaang So it would be like a draft prop,

432
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: NBA draft prop, NHL draft prop, NBA draft pop, literally

433
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: anything else, which the black under eight and a half

434
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 5: and Grady Dick over ten and a half I think

435
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 5: are the two best parlay legs of these overrunners right

436
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: now in the market where I think they're both like

437
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 5: minus three hundred and they might as well be like

438
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 5: minus a million at this point, given if there's no cash,

439
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 5: which there could be, but and Grady Dick's going towards

440
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 5: like the eleven and a half range in most books,

441
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 5: and black is just sitting at eight and a half.

442
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 5: And I've used both of those on multiple parlays myself.

443
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

444
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And Anthony Blackstock is somebody that even though it

445
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: was never foreseeable that he would drop out of the

446
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 4: top ten, as we get closer to the draft, you know, eight.

447
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: Almost seems too late now.

448
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 4: It seems like it could be six to the magic now,

449
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: Luke last week you told us, now this is something

450
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: that if betters would have got in on this, they'd

451
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: have the value. At this stage it was specifically for

452
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 4: match up market and you had said take Jerius Walker

453
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 4: from the Houston Cougars over Ossier Thompson and it was

454
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 4: at plus one p fifty. So the way that works

455
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: is you were projecting that Jeris Walker we get picked

456
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: over that specific Thompson twin. Since then that has since

457
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: flipped to minus one thirty five for Walker and plus

458
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: one oh five for Auscers. So again, anybody who's listening

459
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 4: last week, he got some great value on that pick. Luke,

460
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 4: just asking from the heavens here, can you please bless

461
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: us with another gym for draft betting.

462
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: Well, and going off of that which I'm not the

463
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 5: biggest fan of our being or like hedging or anything,

464
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 5: where when I made that recommendation, Whitmore was still in

465
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 5: the top five, like we considered it a lock, and

466
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 5: with a little more falling it has definitely changed the

467
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 5: dynamic where the Pistons pick is up for grabs and

468
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 5: I think the rockets at FoST still up for grabs

469
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 5: two and the mocks I'm seeing from the guys that

470
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 5: matter within the specifically today a SAR is trending hard

471
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 5: at pick five. And James Edwards, who's probably the Pistons

472
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 5: insider that I respect most, like his job as one

473
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: of the Pistons, and he kind of started the whole

474
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 5: Whitmore fall where he I think it was on a

475
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: podcast with the Vassini he said that the Pistons have

476
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: no interest Whitmore. His workouts were awful, He's gonna fall,

477
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 5: et cetera. And ASAR has been is number one on

478
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 5: his Pistons big board, and he's kind of been pumping

479
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 5: the ASAR bandwagon for the last two days to go five.

480
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 5: And if you're into arbing, I would not be against

481
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 5: just taking the ASAR and counting your small margins depending

482
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: on what numbers you get the win. That's a disclaimer

483
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 5: for that. But my first one I'm going to bring up,

484
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 5: and these odds are fluctuating, I'm going to go with

485
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 5: Jordan Walsh first round, which depending on the book that

486
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 5: you're looking at, you can see anywhere from plus four

487
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 5: hundred to plus one thousand, and they were thirty to

488
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 5: one yesterday. But Jordan Walsh is a guy that I

489
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 5: think can jump into the end of the first round,

490
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 5: and the Denver Nuggets before we recorded, made a trade

491
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 5: into the first round and they flopped with They flipped

492
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: with the Pacers, and the Nuggets would be a perfect

493
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: spot for Jordan Walsh. But he's just a guy that

494
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 5: you've seen in the quote unquote Intel reports, whatever media.

495
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: I'll let he is a riser. And then Wasserman, who's

496
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: one of my or four probably number one going too

497
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 5: this year. He's been updating his mark like live like

498
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 5: three or four times a day. No notification, you just

499
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 5: have to check. And he put Walsh in the first

500
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 5: round yesterday, which was very telling for me because when

501
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 5: you get a guy like that's so random, like Washed,

502
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: that hasn't been in any of the mocks up until

503
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 5: a day before, Like that's not like he's putting him

504
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: in the first round because he ranks him very high.

505
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 5: Like he's putting him in the first round because he's

506
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 5: probably hearing something which Walsh could have stayed in college.

507
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 5: It was somewhat like questionable that he was going into

508
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 5: the draft because people really didn't see it. And when

509
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 5: someone like Walsh goes into the draft, you kind of

510
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 5: have to read the tea leaves where he has an

511
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 5: expectation probably higher, whether it's a promise or whatever it

512
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: is relative to like the public's perception, which is the

513
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: first round you would have to assume. And he's a

514
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 5: defensive beast, which translates, well, he's just a rock solid

515
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 5: prospect that you're going to have on your team for

516
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 5: the next ten years. Like he's never going to be

517
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 5: a superstar, but when you're in the end of the

518
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: first round, like, these are the type of guys you want,

519
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: and it's just it's it's an easy one for not

520
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 5: a lot of that's that are out there first round

521
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 5: wise that still have value.

522
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 3: Walsh, I would still play.

523
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 5: At four to one, five to one, six, whatever it is,

524
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: it's a good one or not really, I would not

525
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 5: lay the juice on him. But plus money, yeah.

526
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan Walsh razorbacks first round sitting right now at

527
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: plus four hundred at fan duel to go in.

528
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: The first round. We'll talk about more first round.

529
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 4: Picks that we like when we get closer to the

530
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 4: end of the show. But Brian, I wanted to ask

531
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 4: you a question because of what Luke just mentioned about

532
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 4: how the Detroit Beat writers are, you know, bringing the

533
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 4: flag for Osier Thompson to go fifth overall and right

534
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: now at FanDuel As we were recording, these odds have

535
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: flipped where Jaris Walker was the favorite to go fifth

536
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 4: overall when we first started the show at plus nine

537
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 4: to eighty and has since flipped now with Aussier being

538
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: the favorite at plus one fifty and Walker has since

539
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 4: dropped to plus two ten.

540
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: We talked about.

541
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: Him going fifth overall to the Pistons last week. Are

542
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 4: we late to the bus on this, like, should we

543
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 4: still consider Jaris Walker at fifth overall or are we

544
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: going to give credence to this report coming out of Detroit?

545
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: You could because there was a report either yesterday or

546
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: to day before I'm forgetting from Jonathan Cavoni who said, look,

547
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Utah is a team that could trade up to number

548
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: five and target Jaris Walker. And that you know, Cavoni's

549
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: obviously another one of these guys that you look at

550
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: this time of year or whatever. So it feels like

551
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: it feels like number two overall is going to be

552
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: between us here, Thompson and Jaris Walker. Maybe that's going

553
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: to play out that way. I like Jaris Walker. There's

554
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: still whether or not the Pistons have to pick up well,

555
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: then again, it depends on who's trading for it, right.

556
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: If they do, in fact trade to pick for Detroit,

557
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't make a lot of sense though, And he's

558
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: somebody who worked out with them. Apparently it went well

559
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: and with the Detroit Pistons. They do have a lot

560
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: of options though, because they have Ivy already, they have

561
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham, and it's basically like you know that they're

562
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: not going to draft small at that position. If they

563
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: get a wing, it's going to be a big wing.

564
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: If they get a big it's probably not going to

565
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: be a true center because they're still testing out the

566
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: whole James Wiseman thing and seeing what's going to happen there.

567
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: And boydadah, it's just somebody who's probably going to be

568
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: traded to make room for whoever they draft. So we

569
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: have to account for that as well, because there are

570
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: going to be subsequent trades Draft Knight trades, Free to

571
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: See trades, and I will remind people when betting on

572
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: the draft also consider that some of the trades that

573
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: that may or may not happen that stem from this

574
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: might not play out until during the summer because they

575
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: take a while ultimately to put together. But yeah, I

576
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: still like Jarris Walker at number five, even though the

577
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: momentum literally shifted from the time we started this show

578
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: through now, and we'll see where it ends up tomorrow.

579
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: But I do still like them there, assuming that the

580
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: Pistons have to pick. If Utah trades up, that's something

581
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: that makes sense. But ultimately it depends because if there's

582
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: a trade, say to I don't know the Pacers or

583
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: somebody like that, I'm just naming a random team, then

584
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: maybe that's a spot where Thompson would make a little

585
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: bit more sense as opposed to Walker, and given what

586
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: they're looking for in terms of player profile, that might

587
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: make sense. So you know, it all depends. It's all relative.

588
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: But as you can see, things are really shifting now,

589
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: and I think I think there's good value with with

590
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: Jarvis Walker still, even though even though Thompson's really gaining

591
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: some deem at number five at this point.

592
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 5: And so I trades like trades for the NFL Draft,

593
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: I really just kind of ignore because the value of

594
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 5: like a draft pick in the first round in the

595
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 5: NFL is a lot more than a first round pick

596
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 5: in the NBA, because once you get past like the

597
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 5: top five picks. Let's just say, like the value like

598
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 5: really falls off a cliff and the overrunder for trades

599
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: I think is eight, which you can't like discount trade rumors,

600
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: where like the Pistons are definitely one of those trade

601
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 5: spots that is like probably more likely than unlikely.

602
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: Possibly. But at the same time, the NBA.

603
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: The beauty of the NBA draft is like we have

604
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 5: a consensus eight or nine guys in a positionless league,

605
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 5: like that order can be multiple different orders and it

606
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 5: is really not going to have a domino effect after

607
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: that it would in the NFL because the NFL, like

608
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 5: if a corner goes in a spot you think a

609
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 5: quarterback is going to go like that quarterback think gets

610
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 5: scooped up by like he might fall, he might go.

611
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: Where the domino effect in a draft where needs are

612
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 5: more crucial in the NFL doesn't have the same effect,

613
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 5: where this order of the top eight or nine can

614
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 5: really go anyway, and the trade could go and the

615
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: same guy we think and just won't have a ripple

616
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: effect relative and we could still be totally safe whether

617
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 5: Osago's five or six or.

618
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: Some momentum was the key thing that you had brought up, Brian,

619
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: about how a lot of things happening. You know, we

620
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 4: talked about even guys that might even land in the

621
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: top ten and the green room invites. You're starting to

622
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: see that kind of report coming out. And one guy

623
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: who got a green room invite that you want to

624
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: talk about, Steamwig. I didn't even know, like I barely

625
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: even knew that this guy played. But Olivier Max prosper

626
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: right now wasn't even listed last week, for example, to

627
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 4: either go in the first round or as a top

628
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: twenty pick, but has since been reported that he has

629
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: gotten the green room invite and odds obviously moved accordingly, Brian,

630
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: are you buying the hype on him? Do you think

631
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: he could go top twenty? Seeing it right now around

632
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: plus one twenty five for him to be drafted in

633
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: the top twenty of this draft.

634
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: I was at the Big East term where he was

635
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: playing for Marquette. I was covering it and I had

636
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: talked to multiple people NBA people who were very impressed

637
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: with his activity is effort. At the time, he was

638
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 1: maybe a second round pick, you know, wasn't somebody that

639
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: you really thought of in terms of getting into this

640
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: draft in that way, and he's been working out really

641
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: well for teams. There are teams that like him reportedly,

642
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: and he's somebody who you can sort of see what

643
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: he is at the NBA level. I don't think he's

644
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: going to be a star necessarily, but you see what

645
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: team's like. He's a hustle guy. He's going to be

646
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: potentially a high level role player for a long time

647
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: if he can really get his three point shot straight

648
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: in terms of just being consistent with it. But he

649
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: can plug a lot of holes. He's another one of

650
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: these guys who's big, who's going to be a three

651
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: to four defend multiple positions like this is what other

652
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: NBA teams are looking for. They're looking for big wings

653
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: who can be versatile, multi positional. This is why his

654
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: profile has risen. He plays really hard and he's from Marquette,

655
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: and Marquee has a pedigree of guys who have come

656
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: through there who've played well in the NBA, Jimmy Butler

657
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: being an example. You're gonna bring up Jimmy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

658
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: Jay Crowder being an example like Marquette's and Shaka Smart

659
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: coached them, which is another you know, bonus points for

660
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: that right. But I saw the green room invite, the

661
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: green room invite, and I was like, oh, okay, so

662
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: there's a real chance he goes top twenty, and he

663
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: was plus I don't know where it is now because

664
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: the odds are changing literally as we speak. Before we

665
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: started plus one to ten to go into the top twenty,

666
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: and you're giving me that. It's like, I'm still gonna

667
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: take it. But we're getting to the point now where

668
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna be almost a surefire sort of top twenty

669
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: pick at this point. And I know there are at

670
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: least two teams in the top twenty that he's worked

671
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: out really well with. They like him very much. Don't

672
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: know if those teams are going to keep their picks,

673
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: but oh, Max Prosper is like he's another one we

674
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: could be talking about in terms of being one of

675
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: the Jalen Williams types in this year's draft. I don't

676
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: think it's gonna go as high. I don't think it's

677
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a lottery pick. But I do think he

678
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: can get into the top twenty, and that in the

679
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: late teams, so to speak, because of the momentum he's

680
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: built as of late.

681
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's if there's a there's a Jaylen Williams for

682
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 5: like the wait first, he's him, like he is just

683
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 5: chatapulted into it.

684
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 4: Well, that's who I thought Haimi Hawkes would have been

685
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: with UCLA because initially I didn't think he was gonna

686
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: get first round buzz and maybe he would.

687
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: Near the end. Well, now he's like more Center thousand for.

688
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: First round and he's got a green room invite.

689
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: Two.

690
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: Now he might get the Sports Center bump. He was

691
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: on Sports Center last night, you know, doing the interview

692
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: wearing nice clothes or whatever. He might get the Sports

693
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: Center bump for the NBA Draft, you know, you never know.

694
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 5: And there's one guy that didn't get a green room

695
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: invite that I'm I got it. I've just been staring

696
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 5: at him. But Leonard Miller not getting in greenroom invite

697
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: is I don't know what to think of it. I mean,

698
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 5: we've got twenty five green room invites and I think

699
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 5: it's final at this point. And he is a guy

700
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 5: projected has been projected in the top twenties. I don't

701
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 5: know if it's like a G league thing or what,

702
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 5: but I would Yeah, I don't even know. I can't

703
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: even speak because like, I don't know what to think

704
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 5: of it, And I know, like the green room invites

705
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: are it's like a they like pull the gms and

706
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 5: they get all the gms like top twenty five, and

707
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 5: then they send them out based off of that.

708
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that's insane too, especially with Omax

709
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 4: just where he did really well at the combine, you know,

710
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 4: probably worked out for a couple of teams, definitely got

711
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 4: a first round promise. Leonard Miller to be drafted in

712
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 4: the top twenties sitting up Vanduel right now at plus

713
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 4: one point thirty. He had minus odds last week when

714
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 4: we were doing it, so again you're seeing that shift.

715
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 4: It doesn't always just go.

716
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 2: Under for these problems.

717
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 4: Some people they like to bet the over on these

718
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 4: and to see them drop. And so I just want

719
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 4: to recap what Brian's got so far. So you've got

720
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 4: the Jerris Walker you still like him at five, sitting

721
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 4: around plus two ten, and max O Max prosper with

722
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 4: Marquette to go in the top twenty at plus one ten.

723
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 4: Another player though, who might have gotten a little bit

724
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 4: of a Sports Center bump, not necessarily through a recent highlight,

725
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 4: but because of his brother was Chris Murray seeing him

726
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 4: right now top twenty around plus four thirty, seeing him

727
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: mocked a lot to the Kings who pick around the

728
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 4: twenty sixth range.

729
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: But Brian, are you.

730
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 4: Feeling Chris Murray to keep climbing and go into the

731
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 4: top twenty this year? Especially at plus four thirty?

732
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: There were different times throughout even the college basketball season

733
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: that he was mocked into the top twenty pretty consistently,

734
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: and you know sometimes you'll see like twenty two, twenty three,

735
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: twenty five. So I'm at eighteen of bunch this year

736
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: and I think you know with Murray again, if you're

737
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: looking at what NBA teams are looking for, this is

738
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: a stretch forward period, heart stop. This is somebody who's

739
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: going to play a position of need for a lot

740
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: of different teams, who's gonna be shooting threes primarily, who

741
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: again could be multi positional if you want to slide

742
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: them into the three if you feel like he can

743
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: hold defensively, particularly at that position. Right, and he's somebody

744
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: what was the number was plus four to twenty at

745
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 1: this point, Like I think, I mean, it's not maybe

746
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: considered a long shot yet at plus four twenty, but

747
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: I do like those odds of him going in the

748
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: top twenty because he fills a need for a bunch

749
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: of teams sort of in the late teens. I do

750
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: think he could slide out. He's definitely a first round pick.

751
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: I do think he could slide out of the top

752
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty though, because again, there are other guys like oh,

753
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: Max Prosper who's rising, right, And if guys are rising,

754
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: that means other guys are falling And is Chris Murray

755
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: going to be a byproduct of that? But you know,

756
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: he obviously has the pedigree. His brother's already in the

757
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: NBA with the Sacramento Kings was surprisingly the fourth overall

758
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: pick last year, and you know, is this going to

759
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: be Is this going to be a time for Chris

760
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: Murray to potentially get it's the top twenty, I still think,

761
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: especially at plus four twenty, if you're giving me that, yeah,

762
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a shot on it. I'm gonna I'm

763
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: not gonna throw a ton of money on it, but

764
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna take a shot in it because he

765
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: feels a need for a lot of different NBA teams

766
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: who you know, he's worked out for some and I

767
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: feel like He's made enough of an impression, especially throughout

768
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: the Cottage basketball season, to sort of keep himself in

769
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: the in the late teams. Perhaps.

770
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 4: Okay, so Omac's top twenty at plus one ten, we're

771
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 4: gonna lock that in for Brian, but Chris Murray, if

772
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 4: we are gonna take it, especially at the plus four twenty.

773
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: Let's just do a little sprinkle.

774
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 4: We don't have to do anything crazy where we all

775
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 4: go to our bank account. Yeah, all right. Let's move

776
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: to what is considered my favorite market of the NBA

777
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 4: draft process, and that is the first round pick market,

778
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 4: because even in the top twenty, we have a wide

779
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: range of outcomes when it comes to the first round.

780
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: I feel like you.

781
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: Can almost talk me into almost any scenario for a

782
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 4: player just because a team could fall in love with

783
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 4: a certain player. All it takes is one team and

784
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: your ticket is pretty much live right up until the

785
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 4: final pick of the first round. So which is why

786
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 4: I know that casual betters, which I have no problem

787
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 4: identifying myself as a casual better when it comes to

788
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 4: the NBA Draft, I love the bet this market. I

789
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 4: know casual betters to gentlemen who is on your radar

790
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: as a bet to crack round one. Note, I know

791
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 4: you talked about Jordan Walsh cracking the first round from

792
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 4: the razorbacks, Luke, So we'll start with Brian. If you've

793
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 4: got anybody that you like to get into the first round,

794
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 4: what kind of odds are we looking at, and are

795
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 4: you looking at any long shots potentially to get into

796
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 4: the first round?

797
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: To get into the first round is always fun to

798
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: look for long shots, right. I mentioned last week Amani

799
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: Baits because using the whole Gatorade National Player of the

800
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: Year thing, like, these guys tend to go in the

801
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: first round. Now many Bits has since had some baggage

802
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: from where he was before, obviously didn't really work out

803
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: of Memphis, and then goes to Eastern Michigan, puts some

804
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: numbers not super efficient, negative wingspan, and then you know,

805
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: has had some trouble off the court, but the talent

806
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Reminding people again he was, along with chet Holmgren,

807
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: the best high school player in the country. It was

808
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: those two, They were the top two. Chet Holmegren overtook

809
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: him at some point. But those guys tend to go

810
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: in the first round usually. Now, this is a little

811
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: bit of a unique situation. But I mean in terms

812
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: of a long shot, the odds for him were in

813
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: the thousands, I believe to go into the first round.

814
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 4: Bonnie Bates is plus five thousand to go in round

815
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: one right now.

816
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like, it's like, do I think it's

817
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: actually going to happen. I think someone takes a chance

818
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: of him, probably the second round at this point. But

819
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: if you're telling me, I'm putting one dollar on this

820
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: bet one dollar and could potentially make fifty out of it,

821
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: and why not. But some other players with like shorter

822
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: odds I'm looking at perhaps Marcus Sasser. He's somebody from

823
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Houston who he was. I saw him getting first round

824
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: buzz and then sort of fell back and it's been

825
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: on and off, and a lot of people didn't really

826
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: know what to do with the players from that Houston team,

827
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: minus obviously jars Walker. Of course, maybe he's someone to consider.

828
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: Amari Bailey another high level, high level high school player,

829
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: went to UCLA. Didn't really kill it at UCLA, so

830
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: now his draft stock is taken a hit. Maybe someone

831
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: takes a chance on him in the second round. I

832
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: think he can slide into the first round as a talent.

833
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: Bet Luke mentioned Denver earlier in terms of potentially getting

834
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Walsh. I think that's a team that can give

835
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: an Amari Bailey look just to add some talent late

836
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: in the first round, and some other teams is they're

837
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: there as well. And then Julian Strawther, who plus fifteen hundred.

838
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: I believe right now he is again another As you

839
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: can tell, there's a trend here what I'm looking at.

840
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at guys who fit profiles of what NBA

841
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: teams are looking for. Julian Strawther six', seven one of

842
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: the best shooters in this, draft full, stop can rebound

843
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: for his, position is a big wing maybe has three

844
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: AND d potential if you if you think he could

845
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: hold up defensively at the next. Level gonzaga obviously defends really,

846
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: well so that helps in terms of amplifying his defensive.

847
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: Pedigree Julius strawth was mocked for a while in the

848
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 1: top twenty twenty five late first round, range even last,

849
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: year because he had tested the waters and then came

850
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: back to school and then this year obviously is staying

851
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: in the. DRAFT i think he can find his way

852
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: back into the first. Round if someone bets on the,

853
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: shooting like shooters are guys that can find themselves late

854
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: in the first round going INTO Nba. Draft SO i

855
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: think that's a worthy long. Shot of Many, Baits Julian,

856
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: strawl those are sort of worthy long. Shots AND i

857
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: really Think Amari bailey at plus five hundred is a

858
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: good number to find himself into the first round BECAUSE

859
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: nba teams just like making talent bets when it comes

860
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: to late in the first, round and you know in

861
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: the draft.

862
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 4: Overall, YEAH Mani baits at plus five. THOUSAND i found

863
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 4: it really interesting with him because if you go back

864
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 4: and look historically at Every Gatoring player of The year,

865
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 4: winner there's been thirty five, total thirty six total, technically

866
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 4: But Grady.

867
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: Dickett's going to go in the first. Round you could

868
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: include him if you wanted.

869
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 4: To but of the thirty five, winners only three have

870
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 4: not been taken in the first. Round that's a ninety

871
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 4: two percent hit. Rate the last one that did not

872
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 4: go in the first round was two thousand and. One Calvin,

873
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 4: torbert who was high School player of The, year goes

874
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: To Michigan, state ends up becoming more of a journeyman

875
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 4: but all it takes is really is one. Team you,

876
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 4: know we talked About, denver but other contenders who would

877
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 4: maybe just rather have cheap talent on their, roster especially

878
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: with this NEW cba that we're about to, approach where

879
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 4: the luxury tax penalties are so harsh that having like

880
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 4: first round picks are essentially like gold in a, way

881
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 4: especially for those contenders in the twenty to thirty. RANGE

882
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: i do love the idea as well for the same

883
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 4: reason For Amuri, bailey who had a much better showing AT,

884
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 4: ucla even though he was a little bit more outshine

885
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 4: by guys Like Haimi hakez and. Others But Julian STRAWTHER

886
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: i think is really enticing BECAUSE i think he showed

887
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 4: in the tournament that he could be a shot. Maker

888
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 4: he could come in and be able to not necessarily

889
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 4: carry an, offense but not a guy who's going to, be,

890
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 4: like you, know a liability on the offensive side of the.

891
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 4: Ball and seeing him as high as uh twenty two

892
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 4: to one to be in a first round pick fifteen

893
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 4: to one as well right now At, FanDuel those are

894
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 4: guys THAT i would definitely consider anybody that's over plus one, thousand,

895
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 4: THOUGH i THINK i would just offer this key, Disclaimer

896
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 4: please just be careful with how you're. Betting these don't

897
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 4: be putting like thousands of dollars or you, know a

898
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 4: full unit bet on that kind of. STUFF i, mean

899
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 4: if you have the conviction and you have the money to,

900
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 4: use go for. It but at the same, time those

901
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: ones that were, there the long shot, BETS i would

902
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 4: still recommend maybe putting you, know point one of a,

903
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 4: unit you, know something along those lines where you have

904
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: a little skin in the game and you have a

905
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 4: little bit of a portfolio to work, with but not

906
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 4: necessarily something where that's what you're counting on to be

907
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 4: able to make bank in this, Spot, Luke but if.

908
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 5: You, know if you know hammer, it like do you

909
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 5: know that if you can if you can't get that

910
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 5: in like a fully unit, on because a lot of people.

911
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 5: Can't but like we're talking, draft like if you have an,

912
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 5: intel if you know like minus five, thousand you know

913
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 5: something might as well be minus a.

914
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: Thousand so, yeah that was gonna a good. Disclaimer it

915
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: was a great. Disclaimer BUT i think.

916
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 2: That's a good counter.

917
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 4: Though that's a good counter because information is key in

918
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 4: this in this, game and, Obviously.

919
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 5: Luke you're even just playing, you but really just make

920
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 5: sure you know if you don't.

921
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: Because for, me for, Me i'm Not i'm Not i'm

922
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: not somebody who's Throwing i'm not throwing a lot of

923
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: units on stuff in, general because you, Know I'M i

924
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: don't like spending that much money on, stuff BUT i will.

925
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Bet but, listen if you, know you better know if

926
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna put a certain, amount.

927
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 4: All, Right, luke do you have anybody that outside Of

928
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 4: Jordan walsh that you were considering maybe to crack the

929
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 4: first round or you GOOD a.

930
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 5: Lot of the names Of brian brought. Up i'm totally

931
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 5: on board with the one he. DIDN'T i would, say

932
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 5: Like Andre, JACKSON i think he's five to one right,

933
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 5: now which he was after That denver trade came. Out

934
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 5: O'Connor like tweeted like a list of like three or

935
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 5: four names of like guys that could benefit and catapult

936
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 5: themselves into the first, round And jackson was one of.

937
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 5: Them and he very much fits the same profile As

938
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 5: walsh in terms of like translatable. Traits he's not a

939
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 5: shooter like defense, like he has all the intangibles you

940
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 5: look for AND i think at five to one that

941
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 5: is definitely fair bat and Like saucer as well is

942
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 5: another ONE i, like but those would be like the

943
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 5: two on top of the, WASH i think are where

944
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 5: they did that at this.

945
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: Point Beautiful jackson also like LIKE O Max prosper made

946
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: an impression at The Big East tournament BECAUSE i remember

947
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: talking to somebody at The Big East. Tournament it was

948
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: another reporter who, said, yeah he's, good he'll probably get

949
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: a two. Way and now we're talking about him potentially

950
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: being in the first round because he that's when his

951
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: sort of breakout. STARTED O Max prosper And Andre jackson

952
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: very similar. Rises OBVIOUSLY O max's almost minus a thousand

953
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: again to the first round at this, point like we're

954
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: talking about him be in top. Twenty But, hawkins he's

955
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: Another jackson's another good. One hawkins, too as a matter of,

956
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: fact his. Teammate he's probably gonna go very early in this.

957
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: Draft but, yeah The yukon, guys there's some, good good

958
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: numbers out.

959
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 5: On, them AND i want to Like harp that like

960
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 5: these odds aren't, real like they, can't like there's no

961
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 5: there's no power rating for these where Like jackson at

962
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 5: five to one to go in the first, round like

963
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 5: his true odds should probably be like ten to one or.

964
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: Higher, yeah but.

965
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 5: Based off of this, market like you take what you can,

966
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 5: get where Like omax opened at minus one ninety now

967
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 5: he's minus a, Thousand LIKE i, like what is the right?

968
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 5: Price like we no one knows, honestly and at five to,

969
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 5: one like given the, market you just kind of that's

970
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 5: like that is technically quote unquote, value where like his

971
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 5: true odds should definitely be way, higher but relative to everyone,

972
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 5: else that's.

973
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: Value all, right, GENTLEMEN i think we think we covered.

974
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 4: It i'm gonna go over the picks, again just for

975
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 4: if we went over too.

976
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: Fast i'll read.

977
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 3: That get two.

978
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 5: More let me let me do two more fire way,

979
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 5: man let's. Go, Yeah i'm gonna go with to be

980
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 5: picked Sixth Anthony, black WHICH i think is like plus

981
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 5: three hundred right, now which kind of piggybacks off Of

982
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 5: asar going, five where like the consensus mock is let's

983
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 5: just Say walker five and then A sar, six where

984
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 5: if a star is rising and he actually goes, five

985
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 5: that definitely opens up the magic For, black who whether

986
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 5: asagoes five or, Not Like black is definitely like live at,

987
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 5: six which like his ceiling is. Eight BUT i do

988
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 5: Think asar going five like greatly increases the chances Of

989
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 5: black going six if they don't. Trade let's just, say

990
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 5: and he's JUST i don't know how much more he can,

991
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 5: rise but he's one of the guys in the top

992
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 5: ten that just has a ceiling of, eight and teams

993
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 5: are rumored to be trading ahead of eight to Get

994
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 5: black because he is the the guard that is probably

995
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 5: the number. One and then my other one Is kyante

996
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 5: to be drafted Before Jordan, hawkins Which kyante is plus

997
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 5: one fifty five right, now which If Jordan hawkins was

998
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 5: plus one fifty, Five i'd be giving Out Jordan. Hawkins

999
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 5: so this is like a true value bet Because kiante

1000
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 5: is definitely one of the followers where he's been projected

1001
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 5: in the lottery for months and then based off of,

1002
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 5: workouts et, cetera he's fallen into even the twenties and

1003
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 5: some mock. Drafts but the guys THAT i, respect there

1004
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 5: have been a couple that have him at. Thirteen there

1005
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 5: are rumors that The raptors even have a promise To,

1006
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 5: kiante which is over unders thirteen and a half and

1007
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 5: they're just refusing to budget no matter how many people

1008
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 5: bet the. Over But kyante's range is just he Can

1009
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 5: his range is wide enough that he can Jump hawkins.

1010
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 5: Easily Where hawkins to me is his range starts at

1011
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 5: sixteen and then it's anywhere after, sixteen And kyante is

1012
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 5: probably twelve or thirteen anywhere after that and at plus

1013
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 5: one fifty, five which a couple of weeks ago he

1014
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 5: was minus two. Hundred so you're really like the same

1015
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 5: thing that happened With. Walker dodds flipped and it has

1016
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 5: created value On. Cante no matter how bad his stock is,

1017
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 5: FALLING i still think his range makes it worth.

1018
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 4: About, yeah you're banking on a really touted freshman From

1019
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 4: baylor against arguably the best shooter in the draft In Jordan.

1020
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 4: Hawkins AND i found it to be really interesting that

1021
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 4: you mentioned The raptors BECAUSE i think so, far based

1022
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 4: on reporters THAT i follow that are close to the,

1023
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 4: SITUATION i think they've made.

1024
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: Like three first round.

1025
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 4: Promises well they're Like, Keante George Jordan, Hawkins Jalen Hood,

1026
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 4: chafino like you, know like right, now Like i'm not

1027
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 4: really sure what information to trust at this. Point BUT

1028
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 4: i do like the number of what you're saying here

1029
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 4: now as it has transitioned where it's almost become too

1030
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 4: much now in favor Of Jordan hawkins at this, point

1031
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 4: especially where he is being currently.

1032
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: Mocked, GENTLEMEN i think this is.

1033
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,000
