WEBVTT - Hour 1 - Michael Jordan Involved in NBA Draft Decisions, NBA Draft Preview 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:08.600 Sports Radio. It is Thursday. It's our one NBA draft tonight. 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:14.720 You excited? All right? Maybe not? Could get interesting there 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.640 number two or three pick. Could there be a couple 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.320 of trades? Yesterday we thought there was a trade involving 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.000 the Clippers and the Wizards and the Celtics, and then 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.480 it turns out it's Memphis and the Wizards and the 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:31.040 Celtics and Chris tops Porzingis is still going to Boston. Here, 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.680 Marcus Smat, in the words of Mark Jackson, is going 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.959 to Memphis where he gets to babysit down there, and 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:44.839 Washington basically gets nothing. If you're Kyle Kuzma, would you 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.479 want to stay in Washington where there's nobody else because 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.680 now you can be the man and be like, hey, 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.559 this is my team here. Or would you be like, 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:55.920 I think it's time to get out of here. Also 0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:00.360 saw where Chris Middleton Milwaukee Bucks. He declined find his 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.240 forty million dollar option to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.760 He's an unrestricted free agent. He could still resign, of course, 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.400 and so could Kyle Kuzma in Washington. Just getting started 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.000 on the day stat of the Day brought to you 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.440 by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.080 Patrick Show, play the Dapole questions out of the Day, 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.200 all of that forthcoming. Say good morning those watching on Peacock, 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.360 thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.160 around the country. Jay billis working the draft tonight. Billis 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.600 will join us coming up a little bit later on. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.800 So it's Porzingis to Boston in case you went to 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.040 bed last night and the deal went south because of 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:44.000 Malcolm Brogden's health or health concerns, and then the Clippers 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.959 backed out of that. But Porzingis is going to Boston. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.040 There's a fascination I have with Porzingis because I think 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.560 he can always be better for somebody that hype and 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.160 that skill level. He should be like a Victor Wan Bayama, 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.080 should be able to be a really good rim defender, 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.680 pick and pop and you know, all of those different things. 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.880 And then I started to look at his numbers. He's 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.400 a really good post scorer, and the numbers bear out 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.160 that he's only second to the Joker, and he's really 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:21.280 good at defending on pick and rolls. He just hasn't 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.880 taken that next step yet. Now you go, oh, he's 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.720 averaging twenty three and seven and six. Everybody averages twenty now, 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.400 I mean they do. If you're any kind of scorer, 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.640 you're going to average at least twenty. But I just 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.840 want to know what is he going to do when 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.360 he needs to do it, because Boston's going to be 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.040 in big games. There are guys who are really good 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.639 on bad teams, but then they get into big moments 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.920 and they're not as good. I don't know if Porzingis 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.560 is big in a moment because he's going to have 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.400 to be for the Celtics. But I like what they 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.600 did because they got very little contributions out of Al 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.600 Horford future Hall of Famer and other big man Robert Williams, 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.519 and I think they're probably looking at uh down the road. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.440 Here we've got a guy who can play defense and 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.120 pretty good offensive player, and maybe we can count on 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.520 him more than we did Al Horford future Hall of 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.760 Famer eight seven to seven to three DP show email 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.440 address Dpidanpatrick dot com Twitter handle a DP show. Doesn't 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.320 look like Zion will be traded tonight. Doesn't look like 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.320 Dame will be traded either, But it doesn't mean that 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.320 there haven't been discussions here, and it feels like if 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.360 something would happen with New Orleans, it would be Brandon Ingram, 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:38.240 not Zion Williamson. And maybe Portland is saying, hey, let's 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.400 see what we get if we're going to bring in, 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:46.440 you know, Scoot Henderson. Okay, great, Now, Charlotte is probably 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.600 not taking Scoot Henderson because LaMelo Ball and Scoot Henderson 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.800 play the same position. But then if Portland is getting 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.920 Scoot Henderson, Dame Lillard and Scoot Henderson sort of play 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.960 this same position here. But it looks like Charlotte's locked 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.720 in on Brandon Miller. And then you find out Michael 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.320 Jordan is selling the Hornets, but Michael is involved in 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:11.640 the process of who they're going to take number two overall. Okay, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.120 It'd be like if Pauley wanted to buy my house 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.000 and we have a contract, but before I sell it, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.400 I decide that I'm going to I don't know, fill 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.920 in the indoor pool. I'm gonna I'm going to put 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.120 concrete over it or whatever. Without asking. I'm just going 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:29.800 to say, hey, you know, I'm going to make these 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.839 changes here. If Michael and maybe he's going to be 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.800 a minority owner in the Hornets. But Mike and his 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.800 track record at drafting, and it looks like they're going 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.200 to take Brandon Miller. How do you say to Michael Jordan, Hey, Mike, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.400 we got it. You know what, how about how about 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:54.440 we take it from here? Because Michael is probably involved 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.839 in the interview process with Brandon Miller. And also there 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.520 was a comment by Brandon Miller that people love to 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.480 run with and I know, you know, at this time 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.600 of the year, you're like, hey, can we is there 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:09.200 anything that's making headlines? Here's Brandon Miller. He talked about 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.559 who his goat is in the NBA. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.160 I actually don't think Lebron is, you know, to go 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.360 to fast rock thing. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.279 My go to bath Paul George. I was grew up 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.800 watching them, so it's never just Lebron's right. Okay, it's 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:29.719 not a big deal, but it's his opinion not you know, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.640 this is the guy I love. I love Paul George. Okay, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.560 I grew up loving Pete Marravitch. He wasn't the goat, 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.960 but I loved watching Pete marriviag play. But man, when 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.359 you grab the headlines and Lebron could be involved in 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.200 this Lebron's not my go Oh wait till Lebron hears 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.320 about this at fashion week in Paris, He's going to 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.200 be upset about this. He is trying to enjoy the 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.080 Louis show. And I have to deal with this now. Yeah. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.120 I got Farrell and jay Z at the Louis Vautone 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.920 fashion I got Draymon here. What did his kids say? 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.920 I'm just trying to enjoy my holiday. Yeah, I'm on holiday. Yeah, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.840 and I have to deal with this. We go on vacation, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.080 they go on holiday. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.760 Holidays sounds nicer, it does. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.120 Where are you going on holiday? 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:18.400 No? 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.680 Because I always go, well what holiday? And they're like, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.800 what do you mean? No, you said you're going on holiday. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.719 Like what holiday? They're like, what's your vacation? I said, well, 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.520 what does holiday mean? We have holidays. It's just a vacation, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.240 is what it is. Yes, Well, I want to go back. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.400 To Jordan for a second, that the horn of his 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.200 team may pass on Scoot Henderson because he plays the 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.080 same position or the same body style as Lamela Ballah. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.040 Would that be irony that the reason the Portland Trailblazers 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.680 did not take Michael Jordan was because he played the 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.280 same general position as Clyde Drexler, and that's one of 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.600 the reasons they passed on him. Did we talk about 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.760 this with the Golden State Warriors, Oh, you're taking Steph Curry. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.160 Don't they already have guards there? And what role does 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.080 he feel? Don't you just take the player? 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.839 Well, I think that's what the philosophy is now. It 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.280 should be instead of like, let me just take the 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.160 best player, not you know, he doesn't fit in, or 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:18.120 we already got somebody at that position. Basketball's positionless. It 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.360 just you know, I don't have a center, two forwards 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.760 and two guards. I might have three guards. I might 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.680 have two centers. I might not have a center. But 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.120 if you're looking at these teams and their success, you're 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.400 looking at I got that guy who can play, and 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.160 that guy who can play, and that guy who can play. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.040 Because if you said, hey, where's Draymond Green going to 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:43.160 play wherever he wants to, well, Klay Thompson, yeah it'll 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.720 be fine, Steph, Yeah he's good. We get caught up 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.320 in these Well you got to have the big man, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.880 you got to have two forwards, you got to have 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.880 two guards. No, you just have to have people who 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.400 can play and complement each other. But the NBA draft 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.480 gives hope. That's what it's all about, and a golden 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:03.200 opportunity like Charlotte at number two and you know, Dame 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.600 Lillard in Portland at number three. But then you also 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.760 have these other teams. You know, Dallas is all in 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.960 apparently with Kyrie, and they have the tenth pick overall. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.760 Do they try to package that to get some veteran help? 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.480 Are the Lakers going to be trading? Are the Clippers 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.200 going to do anything? Is Paul George actually available to 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.960 be traded for? This is what happens leading up to 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.720 the draft, the possibility, the scenarios I'm hearing, is Pam 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.559 aute Bio available for the Miami. It's just a lot 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.440 of kicking the tires here and maybe trying to flush 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.720 things out. Hey, I didn't know Porzingis was going to 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.280 be available. I thought, okay, maybe they're building around him 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.160 and Boston goes all in. I mean, I give Brad 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.840 Stevens a lot of credit. That was a Danny Ainge 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.040 kind of move there. You kind of swoop in and 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.440 if you're a Washington Wizards fan, man, good luck. They 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.040 should just let you in for free and then you know, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.920 maybe you'll parking and concession and things like that. Or 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:07.240 how about this, you pay on the way out, all right, 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.120 if you're you know, like you donate something like you know, 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.480 what what did this meal mean to you? What? What? 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.319 What's it worth? Here? And then you just pay as 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.840 you go? How about that? I mean you get to 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.959 watch the game and then as you leave and then 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.400 they have a collection plate, you know, go to church 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.400 and then they pass it down the road. Hey, what 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.560 what do you think here? All right? Let me give 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.240 you fifteen cents? You know, I had dollar fifty I 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.200 got I was entertained there. Yeah, ton I like that. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.600 It's like an honor system that everyone will give some 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.959 type of amount that can reflect what they just experienced 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:39.760 the rest few hours. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.040 You know, I still feel bad about this. This is 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.520 off topic, but it's on topic if you follow me. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.880 I was on vacation and I was in Italy and 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.520 I went into a church, and you know, you're supposed 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.280 to have the honor system where you put some money 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.120 in then light a candle. Why didn't have any money 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.480 on me? So I lit a candle and then my goes. 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.439 You have to donate that money that prayer doesn't count, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.400 doesn't count, I know, and so it's bothered me. I 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.120 went to Italy a couple of months, you know, six 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.960 weeks ago. It still bothered me that I didn't put 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:18.319 the money in the little coin slot there. You're going 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.160 to hell. No I'm not. I just didn't put you know, 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.480 a dollar in the slot. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.320 Yes, how come you didn't just not light the candle? 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:26.360 Enjoy the church? 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.559 And then I don't because I don't know, as you 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.000 have to do something. All these people were there, and 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.360 you know, I get into those old churches and it 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.720 feels like every one of those statues is staring at you, like, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:42.160 what are you doing here? Dude? Seriously you're here again? Hot? 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.600 Yeah you Why don't you pack like you've been here before? 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.240 How about we kneel? You know. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.000 It is funny though, that if there's something to do 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.280 with your hands, you have to do it. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.319 But it was Easter Sunday. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.720 Oh you gotta double down too with the money. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.440 Yes, cheap on them, bro, But I put all the 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.679 money in the collection basket.

Now who they 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:55.319 got to find that? 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.480 What's my problem with Marcus smartt It was, shoot, dude, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.240 you're not Steph Curry. You know you're a defensive player. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.160 He's jop shooting. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.400 He is very hard to quantify as a player because 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.959 he seems to try at all times, goes to. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.480 The floor, the immeasurables ball. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.320 Yeah, team first, But you know he's better than he 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:16.960 was five years ago. Five years ago. He's thinking he's 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.040 throwing out of bounds that it. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:22.760 Takes Marcus Smatt good interview. By the way, the Celtics 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.000 are now tied with the Nuggets for the best odds 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.400 to win the NBA Championship. Starting the week Boston plus 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.040 five point fifty Now plus four to seventy five. They're 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.360 tied with the Nuggets for the best odds. I don't 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.200 have where everybody else is this according to you on DraftKings. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.120 I'd like to know where the Wizards are. Is there 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.760 a worse team than the Wizards this year? On paper? 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.040 Trying to think who else is going to be really 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:57.719 really bad? Could they threaten the seventy two seventy six 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.880 ers who won nine games? 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:06.280 Marvin No, I think they win twenty four games, twenty 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:07.920 four twenty. 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:12.320 Four Okay, maybe, uh maybe picture da Ray can reach 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.880 out to DraftKings and ask him what the over under 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:19.200 is for the Wizards well as of today because they 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.880 had Bradley Beal and porzingis you know up until yesterday? 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.440 Yes, your Wizards the past two years thirty five and 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.360 forty seven, thirty five and forty seven, they're the most 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:28.480 consistent team of asking you. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.080 Got to sell it, you know exactly what you're getting 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:38.800 with the Wizards mediocrity. That's tough. Yeah, that's where you 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.360 trust the process. But you trust the process if you 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.400 have somebody like joelnb where you go, Okay, we're losing, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.320 but we're going to start winning. If you're a Wizards fan, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.640 you're probably going, what is the prom Is there a process? 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.400 Tell us if there's a game plan here, because this 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:02.360 feels like Washington is the East Coast version of Oklahoma City. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.920 But Oklahoma City I have complete trust in. They do 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.640 have some talent and they have a lot of draft 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.840 picks there. But as far as the Wizards go, man, 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.560 that is rough. Yeah, pulling. 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.800 Is there a worst job in sports right now than 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.480 season ticket sales manager for the Washington Wizards. What's the 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.760 strategy there?

You know, the 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.440 Wizards are going to be like, what are we selling here? 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.080 What can yes, Mark. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.840 And now with load management, all the Lakers coming down.

Hey, come 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.440 on out and see Lebron in street close. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.480 Yes, mar did Tys Jones act up with John Morant 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:04.600 because he's in Washington? 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:12.040 Now, Like, what did I do? He's the starting point guard? Oh? 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:12.560 Good point? 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.680 Yeah, yeah, his time to shine. Yeah. I think he 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.600 might feel pretty good where he's like, all right, I'm 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.000 I'm in Washington and I'm the starting point guard for 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.640 a team that's going to be terrible this year.

There's certain drafts that 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.360 stand out and I was able to cover a few 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.960 of those. I was covering the draft when Len Bias 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.000 was drafted by the Boston Celtics. You know, Keem Elijahwan, 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.320 draft Patrick Ewing and to be able to be there 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.320 in person. And then there's other drafts where you go, 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.040 how did this happen? That you look back on Anthony 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.720 Bennett going number one overall. That was twenty thirteen, so 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:42.240 that's a decade ago. Victor Oladipo, who I thought was 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.560 going to be the best player of the draft, had 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.760 a nice career. He's been injured, Otto Porter Junior third, 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:59.399 Cody Zeller, Alex lenn Nerlins Nowell, Ben Macklamore, Centavious Caldwell, Pope, 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:07.760 Trey Burke, CJ McCollum, Michael Carter, Williams, Steven Adams, Kelly Olennock, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:14.960 and uh Shabaz Mohammed. That's it. Those are the first 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:15.879 fourteen picks. 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.959 Yeah, Paul, pick number fifteen was Giannis. 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:19.639 Yeah. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:21.439 I wonder if there's ever been a draft where the 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:25.040 second seven players were drastically better than the first seven 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.159 players taken, because those first seven are spotty at best. 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.159 And then you know Steven Adams, good career, Olenix not awful, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:35.760 Giannis hall of fame, you know, McCollum, nice player. The 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:36.639 first seven are. 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.760 Yeah it Jannis doesn't make it because he's not part 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.919 of the first fourteen. If you said the first seven 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.560 and the second seven, and then I would take the 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.320 third seven because at least I'm getting Giannis out of that. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:54.600 Goy that was so bad. 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.880 Like there's there's not a good player in there. Yeah, 0:19:58.920 --> 0:19:59.800 mar I. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.399 Think Michael Carter Williams was Rookie of the Year. Yeah, 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.400 I'm almost certain he. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.600 Couldn't shoot the Hyphen but he couldn't shoot. 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.040 That's one of those somebody's got to win Rookie of 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:11.360 the Year. 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:13.600 Well, I think he had a triple double his first 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.920 game and we had him on after that and I 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.160 said they should call you the Hyphen and he goes, yeah, 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.440 I don't have a nickname there. And that's the last 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.640 time we heard from Michael Carter Williams. 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.000 Yes, smart, whole lot of ten day contracts for him now. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:32.080 Yeah, Yeah, Kelley o'lennock, Steven Adams, and then in. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.040 The back half of the first round, decent players like 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:39.080 Dennis Schrader were drafted. Shrewd, shrewder, he does it wrong, 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.479 get the shooterter Tim Hardaway, Junior, Rudy Gobert, Reggie Bullock. 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:44.320 It's a nice career. 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mark. 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:51.040 There were some guys that Ibas Mohammad. He was big time, 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.000 especially on the internet. He was like the number one 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.159 player in his class. He was big time with the 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.400 uc LA, I mean, and just nothing happened for that guy. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.520 Like oj May type height, Yeah, coming out of high 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.119 school going to UCLA and Nerlan's Noel too. Oh, this 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:08.320
